11
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:30.200
by bringing you six somewhat lesser known
but interesting radio programs that you may not

and the title is Sound and Unsound. Most Saturdays at this time, we

spend an exciting half hour of adventure

17
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:02.120
hop Along Cassidy. Well, even
two fisted cowboys take summer vacations when

18
00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:06.680
they can, and Hoppy is no
exception. But hop Along and Topper,

19
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:09.800
we'll be back with us riding the
CDs air trails again one week from tonight,

20
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:15.520
September twenty second. Get this and
get it straight. Crime is a

21
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:17.240
sucker's road. Knows who travel had
wind up in the gut of the prison

22
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:23.639
of the Grave as no other end
they never learn. From the pen of

23
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:27.639
Raymond Chandler, outstanding author of crime
fiction, comes his most famous character in

24
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:43.960
the Adventures of Philip Marlowe. Now
with Gerald Moore start as Philip Marlowe,

25
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:59.039
we bring you tonight's exciting story The
Sound and the Unsound. You know,

26
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:01.039
in my since you get to the
point where you think you've seen everything,

27
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:05.560
In fact, you get there at
least twice a week. This time I

28
00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:07.800
was sure of it. It was
ten o'clock at night and stretched across my

29
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:13.159
apartment door with the set sea that
customarily covered the frayed cup at about ten

30
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:17.280
paces down the hall, and stretched
across the set Sea was a sturdy female

31
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:23.840
in her twilight years. She was
sound asleep. Hey, hey lady,

32
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:28.919
Hey lady, come alive. Oh
madam, madam, you're you're sleeping in

33
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:34.120
my doorway? Oh eading, and
mister Marlow let us have dozed off?

34
00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:38.039
What time is it about? Ten? May? I ask? What's the

35
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:40.639
idea? Oh whom o'clock? You
don't say, Yeah, well, it

36
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:44.879
wouldn't have slept. I don't suppose
except the light's badness hole not fit for

37
00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:47.080
reading, mister Marlow. Yeah,
well, I'll speak to the landlady now

38
00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:50.439
one. Now, I guess i'd
better put this set te back where it

39
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:53.560
belongs. I hold it up to
your doors so it wouldn't miss you.

40
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:55.520
I can hold back just fine.
Yeah, I know, but but you

41
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:01.039
no then you were remember me,
don't smiss Marlow to see you? Bellows?

42
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:04.919
Well, Carmly's friend. Remember he
introduced me to you one day in

43
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:10.479
the supermarket. We all began to
talk. Sure we had fun, didn't

44
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:15.039
did Yeah? Oh, by the
way, for I forget it. Homer's

45
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:18.839
gone now, you know? Is
he really four months tomorrow? I thought

46
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:23.399
you'd want to know the whole white
want to know that? Sure, don't

47
00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:26.079
really first, i'd have to bother
if he was still around it, since

48
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:28.560
he is, and I just came
right to you the moment I couldn't stand

49
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:30.600
it any longer. Yeah, well, I'm glad you did. Mighty is

50
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:33.160
welcome into my apartment and talk about
it. Well, now, that's mighty

51
00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:35.360
nice of you. But we'd save
a lot of time if we'd just drive

52
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:38.879
right over the court. Now,
that way, you'd be there when it

53
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:42.199
happened. Drive over to be there
when it happened. I own that nice

54
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:45.360
little bungalow court just our fountain,
Franklin. You know, won't take us

55
00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:46.800
no time to get there. If
you've got a car. I've got a

56
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:51.319
car. How did you get here? Walk through it every evening, Take

57
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:57.800
a nice brisk constitutional, keep an
old lady like me in fighting trim.

58
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:00.199
How much do you weigh, Miss
Marlow? About one hundred and ninety?

59
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:11.319
Why that I can lift it.
It just seems smarter all the way around

60
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:15.000
to drive Lucille Bellows back to a
nice little bungalow court. My memory wasn't

61
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:19.800
as vivid as hers. I didn't
remember any parmly or hysterical rendezvous in the

62
00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:26.279
supermarket or Homer or even Lucille,
but the promise of my usual fee made

63
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:30.720
that unimportant. Of two things,
I was certain I'd never forget Lucille again,

64
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:33.600
and she probably could lift me.
I was still in the dark about

65
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:36.160
everything else. The two of us
ended up bungalow at the far end of

66
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:40.800
the court. It was pure,
grand, rapids and spotless. Did you

67
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:44.000
take that blue chair, mister marlel. I think that's the best seat it

68
00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:46.480
was. That's where I'm always sitting
when it happens. When what happened,

69
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:50.040
the sound good prominently. Don't tell
me I haven't told you about him.

70
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:53.480
I'd have been so busy telling me
about everything else. Yes, but this

71
00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:57.759
is important. You see, for
the last few nights, I've been hearing

72
00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:00.920
these strange sounds coming from mister Roger's
fungalow. That's the one right next door.

73
00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:04.439
Well, maybe mister Rogers is just
a little noisy. No. The

74
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:06.879
thing is, he isn't eeding home, been out of town all week on

75
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:12.360
location. He's one of them gripped
studio. It lives alone. It nice

76
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:15.480
to think. So he's a bachelor. I keep thinking him and that Barbara

77
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:17.160
Curtis will get married, that they
don't. She comes in every too often

78
00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:20.480
cooks him a nice dinner. Lovely
girl, just lovely. He's a handy

79
00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:25.959
around the platient or always painting about
the noises. Missus bellows, what do

80
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:30.240
they sound like? Well, it's
just down right strange, sort of a

81
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:32.959
toppened sound. Thought it was the
plumber there at Homer used to be good

82
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:35.279
at fixing the plumber, and I
thought about calling him to check it over

83
00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:41.519
just a minute. Please, isn't
Homer dead? Did I tell you that?

84
00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:45.040
Well? You said he was gone? Oh, well, perfectly logical

85
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:46.959
if your thought so, mister Marlowe. Sometimes I tell folks he's dead and

86
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:49.360
gone. Sometimes I tell him he's
thicker and a horse, and I got

87
00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:54.480
him in a sanitarium. But the
plain ball faced truth is Homer just up

88
00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:57.959
walked out on me four months ago. Tomorrow. Oh well, I'm sorry.

89
00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:00.519
Well, you know sometimes I am
too most time enough, though,

90
00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:05.079
But don't think I don't realize I
might be imagining these sounds. Miss I'm

91
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:10.800
getting along in us, and it's
just as possible it didn't be. Yes,

92
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:15.319
you go, what did you mean
it that? I don't know?

93
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:20.360
I'd like someone's tapping along the wall. You've got a pass gamp where right

94
00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:29.800
around the neck. Come on,
let's go, bye, George. I

95
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:30.800
wouldn't miss this for the world.
Bet it. Give me the key.

96
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:33.000
We don't know what we're run into. Just put me out of your mind,

97
00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:35.759
Miss Marlow. I'm safe. It's
hears anywhere, Okay, wa'ts it

98
00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:40.720
though? It's so a light in
the back. I'm not sure I'll get

99
00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:45.759
the lights ready. No one in
the living room? Anybody have you?

100
00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:51.720
Barbara Great Scott stat you mister Rogers, who thought you was away on location?

101
00:07:51.959 --> 00:07:55.560
Well, I've just gotten town a
few minutes ago. Boss needed something

102
00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:58.040
to the company sent me in to
get it. We all takes alive.

103
00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:01.600
Well, I'm that embarrassed by in
on you this way? Oh is this,

104
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:03.879
mister Marlow, Mister Clinton Rogers?
How are you doing? Aim you

105
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:07.959
for looking confused the way you do, mister Rogers, And might just as

106
00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:09.639
well face up to it. For
the last few nights I've been hearing some

107
00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:13.319
pretty strange tapping sounds coming out of
your place here, and I made up

108
00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:18.079
my minded call old friend mister Maller
here to investigate him for me. I

109
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:20.920
see say you don't look too good, mister Rogers. Well I'm fine.

110
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:26.120
I well, we've been working pretty
hard. I'm just tired, that's all.

111
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:28.800
But you see, we heard those
tapping sounds a while ago, mister

112
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:31.600
Rogers, and then a duller heavier
sound just before we came over. And

113
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:33.799
I must say, we didn't hear
you come home, mister Roger. Well,

114
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:39.360
I came in the back way.
The sounds you heard, mister Marlow,

115
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:43.360
I must have made them as I
dropped my suitcase is pretty hard.

116
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:46.519
I'm tired. Like I said,
I hope it didn't bother. Yeah,

117
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:50.440
but what about the tapping along the
wall. I can't imagine what that could

118
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:56.200
have been. I didn't hear it, Missus bellow By mister Larry, What

119
00:08:56.360 --> 00:09:00.399
on earth the door was open?
I saw you in there, I might

120
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:07.320
think, Well, all right,
miss Larry, were sure? We're just

121
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:09.440
thinking to you, mister Rogers when
we blew in here on announced. Sure,

122
00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:11.879
sure I know, Missus Bellows,
and thanks, don't mention it.

123
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:15.600
I'll be in the bungalow if you
want me, mister Marlow. That's fine,

124
00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:18.480
Missus Bellows. Anything we ought to
take a look around, Rodgers?

125
00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:24.000
No, No, I don't think
so, mister Marlow. Missus Bellows could

126
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:26.320
have imagined all those noises. You
know, Yeah she could, but I

127
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:31.240
couldn't. Anyone else got a key
to your place here, Barbara Curtis,

128
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:35.679
for instance. Missus Bellas told you, yeah, no, no, but

129
00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:39.440
Barbara knows where I keep the extract
outside. But as far as I know,

130
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:43.840
she's out of town too. By
the way, what studio are you

131
00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:48.840
with Imperial? Look, mister Marlow, I'm really pretty tired. There's nothing

132
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:50.639
wrong here, I'm sure, So
it's okay with you if I leave now?

133
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:54.600
Well, all right, Rogers.
Or by the way, Missus Bellows

134
00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:58.840
tells me you're a pretty handy guy
around the house, painting, keeping things

135
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:01.600
fixed up all night. Yeah,
I guess I am. Why well,

136
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:05.159
you just probably haven't had time to
fix that crack in the plaster there running

137
00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:09.360
up from the hall closet. Why
no, no, I haven't. I'll

138
00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:13.279
have to go do that to him
too. That's been nice seeing you,

139
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:16.879
mister Rogers. Yeah, same here. You plan to stay in time?

140
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:28.879
For sure, I'll be in time
all night. It was something eating at

141
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:31.799
Clinton Rodgers, something pressing, but
he wasn't talking about it, not to

142
00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:35.080
me anyway. I knew one thing. He'd never seen that crack in the

143
00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:39.519
plaster until I pointed it out to
him. It was on the wall next

144
00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:43.039
to Lucille Bellow's bungalow, and it
was the kind of crack that could be

145
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:46.559
made if someone tapped along the wall
looking for something. So much for deduction,

146
00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:50.440
I went back to check in and
out with Lucille. I'm just real

147
00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:54.799
sorry, mister Marlow. Maybe it's
all been over nothing at all. Mister

148
00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:56.120
Rodgers will be home all night,
so if you hear anything, just pund

149
00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:58.519
on his wall. Unless he's going
to be here, I'll feel better.

150
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:03.120
Will say. How about your friend
who called you out of mister Rogers bungalow

151
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:05.080
a while back, Mister Larry,
Well, now he's a nice soul,

152
00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:09.440
not the protective sort of woman usually
sets your cap for. But lord a

153
00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:11.360
mighty, I'm strong as an option, you know, yes, I know,

154
00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:15.799
of course I don't think it makes
a dime mister Larry's and women's hats,

155
00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:18.840
you know, no, But I
could have guessed. That's why I'd

156
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:20.200
hold out for a man who could
support me. I couldn't tell you.

157
00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:24.240
And you look as though you've done
all right by yourself. Well, I

158
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:28.679
have a matter of fact, self
fine, A little nest egg. I

159
00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:30.759
want me to show it to you. No, no, I'll take your

160
00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:33.919
word for it. Wait a minute. You don't keep any amount of money

161
00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:37.120
here in the house, sure,
keeping the cigar box right up in the

162
00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:41.639
storage part of that fall closet,
the or steepest place in the world.

163
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:48.080
Yeah, why don't your money?
Could take bank maybe tomorrow if you feel

164
00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:52.720
better about it. Yeah, you
do that, Oh before I go.

165
00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:56.919
Or all the bungalows are like that's
like all have that storage space in the

166
00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:00.399
hall closet. That's right, a
little trapdoor thing at the top of closet.

167
00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:03.600
It's like a littletic you know,
there's a lot of stuff up there.

168
00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:05.919
If you're of the mind, yeah, I guess you can. I

169
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:07.919
think I'll go now, missus Bellows, give me a call to morrow,

170
00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:11.240
will you? Yes, you're will
now? Have you paid for you then?

171
00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:13.799
If that's all right with you?
Oh sure, it's just fine.

172
00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:16.639
Good night, missus bellow. Good
night is to Marlow and a million things,

173
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:26.399
just a million my pleasure, missus
Bellow. Oh no to Marlow,

174
00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:33.639
mister Larry, isn't it? Let
me well, I know who you are.

175
00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:37.320
I mean the Killip Marlow, all
that and all that. Well,

176
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:41.120
that's good. Now we know each
other. I've really become quite too waiting

177
00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:45.039
for you, do Thomas in the
video? Is that what you're waiting to

178
00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:50.279
tell me? Certainly, not confidentially, mister marlow I know something that may

179
00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:54.559
interest you. Oh well, it's
fun. I'll be needing. Something's going

180
00:12:54.600 --> 00:13:00.120
on round here, something odd.
I mean, are you closing in on

181
00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:03.240
a point? Because I wouldn't want
you to get any more chilled? Very

182
00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:09.759
well, mister complete, But it
just may introdu to know that I've seen

183
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:15.480
Homer around here quite a bit in
the last few days. No, what

184
00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:18.600
do you make of that? I
don't know. What do you make of

185
00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:22.639
it? Well, I don't know. I must say I thought it would

186
00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:26.000
mean something to you. Yeah,
well it might mean more to Lucille.

187
00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:31.720
Why don't you just trot in and
tell her all about it? Well I

188
00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:37.200
will, I'll just do that,
and I'm sure I'll never trouble you with

189
00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:41.960
any of my ideas again, mister
Mardle. Goodness, yeah, well,

190
00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:48.799
Lucille's as strong as an ox.
Ah. It's gonna look real good.

191
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:07.600
In just a moment, we'll return
to the second act of Philip Marlowe at

192
00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:11.000
first CBS Radio puts out the welcome
matt for three of its greatest stars.

193

his gang start the new season. My

194
00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:20.200
friend Irma becomes a regular Sunday feature

196
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:31.039
of these same stations, and Jack
over them all more than ever before.

197
00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:37.600
CBS Radio is the Star's Address,
and now with our star, Gerald Moore.

198
00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:41.399
The second act of Philip Marlowe and
Tonight's story. The sound and the

199
00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:52.480
unsound. The scream was Lucille's.
The shots could have been anybody's. A

200
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:54.879
little bungalow caught came alive. As
I raced back up the sidewalk to Lucille's

201
00:14:54.879 --> 00:15:00.000
bungalow, the lights came on in
every unit except one. Hunton Rogers Bunk.

202
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:01.320
Hello was Doc, we'll see you
bolted out of our front door to

203
00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:05.279
meet me. Thank the good Lord
you hood let the shot come from mister

204
00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:09.320
Rogers bungalow. Here take my key. I've got to tend to mister Larry.

205
00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:11.000
What's with him? Fainted dead away
when he heard the shot. I'll

206
00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:22.279
tell me in as soon as mister
Larry. Okay, Rogers, Rogers,

207
00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:31.639
where are you? Hey? Rogers? Huh in the kitchen? Hey,

208
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:37.080
you really caught one, didn't you. Yeah? My shoulder burns like fury?

209
00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:41.559
Who was it? Rogers? Let's
say I did it? All right?

210
00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:46.120
What'd you do with the gun?
He did? Of course? Oh

211
00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:48.279
no, Look, I'll have to
call the police. Will be a good

212
00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:50.279
idea if you tell me what happened. Listen, there's a bottle in the

213
00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:58.720
first camera. They'll get it.
Please, Okay, uncamped, I don't

214
00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:08.440
need Yes, there you go.
M it's great. Barns too, everything

215
00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:18.200
burns. Yeah, I have a
drink. Thanks, I don't care.

216
00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:22.679
Rogers. I gonna call him now. Yeah, First of listen, what

217
00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:25.159
you call the studio? Yeah,
I'll call him after we get you to

218
00:16:25.159 --> 00:16:26.559
a hospital. I'll tell him I
had max. No, No, tell

219
00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:33.360
him I I quit quit. Yeah, what, don't don't argue you just

220
00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:41.240
tell him matter, Okay, it's
promise now and listen. Tell Barbara.

221
00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:45.879
Tell Barbara, yeah, right,
just tell Barbara. Why tell her?

222
00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:57.559
H m hm. I call the
emergency hospital in Hollywood. Their ambulance was

223
00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:02.679
there a no time. So it's
a squat. Little Sergeant Lucill followed him

224
00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:06.240
in. I had two hunches that
I was keeping him myself the time being.

225
00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:08.759
One that whoever had shot Clinton Rodgers
was in his bungalow when he got

226
00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:12.039
back from location, that they were
there when Lucille and I budged in on

227
00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:15.640
him. And two that they'd left
by the back door after they'd plugged him.

228
00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:18.799
Even the sergeant could see something of
interest in that back door. The

229
00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:22.000
screen's been cut through here. See
the way it's cut. The fella could

230
00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:25.839
unhook the screen door, see and
get right at the back door. Yeah,

231
00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:26.839
well that's very good, sergeant.
But tell me, why do you

232
00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:30.319
think it was a fella who shot
Rogers? Well, it could have been.

233
00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:33.000
You don't think it was a dame, do you? It's happened before

234
00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:36.680
you know, Use me, gentlemen. I know you're busy finding clues and

235
00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:38.279
all that, But don't you think
I could clean up this kitchen floor.

236
00:17:38.359 --> 00:17:41.400
It's a terrible neck. Don't touch
nothing. Well, it seems to me

237
00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:45.440
that she said don't touch nothing,
sergeant. I'll let you taddy. I

238
00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:49.519
think tomorrow. Yeah, tomorrow's soon
enough. All right, I think I'll

239
00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:52.599
go back to mister Barry. Now
it's just undone about this whole thing.

240
00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:56.839
I'll be in my place if you
want me for anything. I'll say good

241
00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:00.319
night for now. Anyway, good
night night. Well, I'm satisfied for

242
00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:03.920
the time being. I'll give you
a lift back to the station, Sergeant.

243
00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:07.160
I'd like to check on Rogers at
the emergency hospital on the way,

244
00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:17.119
so would I. If he's in
shape, I want to talk to him.

245
00:18:17.240 --> 00:18:21.039
The news from the emergency hospital wasn't
so good. They're taking a slug

246
00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:23.240
out of Roger's should Earth thirty eight. It lost a lot of blood and

247
00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:26.920
was still out. I left Roger's
phone numbers the place I could be reached

248
00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:30.799
of his condition. Chain. Before
I left, I checked the city directory,

249
00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:41.240
which made my next stop a very
interesting one. Hey, the studio

250
00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:42.880
is closed, mister, you can't
get in at this time of night,

251
00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:48.480
are you Homobellows? That's right?
And I'm the night watchman here. Why

252
00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:52.640
well, Clinton Rodgers works here at
Imperial too, doesn't he. But he

253
00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:57.000
ain't here. He's in a company
that's out on location these wise, I

254
00:18:57.039 --> 00:19:00.920
think they're still out. You're a
friend of his, Homer, Well,

255
00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:03.039
you might say so. I know
him used to live next door to him,

256
00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:07.119
didn't you? Yep? I did. Hey, who are you anyway?

257
00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:08.559
Well, I'm a guy who wants
to know what you've been doing around

258
00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:14.680
Roger's bungalow recently, Roger's Bungalow.
Yeah, we're doing nothing, step passing

259
00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:18.599
it on my way to my wife's. What infernal business is it of yours?

260
00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:22.200
Oh? None really? But I'm
a friend of your wife. Oh

261
00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:25.160
you are, are you? But
if you're such a friend of hers,

262
00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:27.000
why don't you ask her what I've
been doing around there? Does she know?

263
00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:32.200
Does she know? I've been asking
her for her divorce? Since you're

264
00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:37.079
so nosy, I want to marry
me someone else. Oh, won't you

265
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:40.480
give it to you? Oh?
She's agreeable to the divorce, all right.

266
00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:44.119
The thing is holding her up as
a settlement. Oh settlement, yep.

267
00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:48.759
You see. I lived with that
one almost forty years. I think

268
00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:53.400
that entitles me to a nice little
lot of her money. Who still don't

269
00:19:53.400 --> 00:20:02.119
see it that way? Yeah?
Well, some women have next to no

270
00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:06.599
understanding about things like then. But
my visit with Homers served its purpose.

271
00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:10.519
I went back to Roger's Bungalow in
case the call should come from the emergency

272
00:20:10.599 --> 00:20:12.960
hospital and this time I wanted a
good look at that crack on the wall.

273
00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:18.400
The storage can pop it in the
hall closet. I kept Lucille's pasky,

274
00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:21.559
and this time I didn't bother with
the lights. I used a flashlight

275
00:20:21.599 --> 00:20:25.599
for my car because I was pretty
sure whoever it shot rogers hadn't found what

276
00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:29.359
they were looking for. I just
opened the hall closet door when I'd heard

277
00:20:29.359 --> 00:20:33.799
it someone was unlocking the front door
and moved quickly behind a big chair in

278
00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:45.599
the living room. Yeah, what
about lights? But I still don't think

279
00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:48.599
this much of an idea. I
was afraid to come alone by, and

280
00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:51.920
I've got to find it before Quinn
comes back. If you just take my

281
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:53.680
word for it, you though you
wouldn't have to be here at all.

282
00:20:53.759 --> 00:20:57.119
I've told you, I can't believe
what you said. I've got to find

283
00:20:57.119 --> 00:21:02.960
out myself. Maybe you'll be sorry
if you find that. Maybe so,

284
00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:07.640
But at least on the wall that
little store to place me on the carpet

285
00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:10.319
is the only place I haven't had. Do you think there will be enough

286
00:21:10.359 --> 00:21:14.720
fly? Yeah? How I get
up there? I can't reach that store

287
00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:18.799
from me. Oh oh wait,
I'll get the school from no no,

288
00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:23.720
I've got the flashlight back. Oh
oh good, heaven fun here in the

289
00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:33.720
kitchen. Yeah, sure it rich
for anything, Bud, you're covered.

290
00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:37.920
What's happened to Chrint? Nobody shot
him? Oh he's not dead yet,

291
00:21:37.960 --> 00:21:41.799
Miss Kirk. Do you know my
name? Yeah? He mentioned you.

292
00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:45.359
I'm Philip Marlow. Missus Bellows called
me on this. Oh why don't you

293
00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:48.119
put the gun down? Mistery?
I will when I find out a few

294
00:21:48.200 --> 00:21:51.480
things. Where is christ I want
to go there? Police took him to

295
00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:53.519
the emergency hospital. Police are they
going to call me here and tell me

296
00:21:53.559 --> 00:21:56.880
how he is here? Still out? When I left a while ago?

297
00:21:56.920 --> 00:21:59.839
Come on, Bud, you've got
to take me there? Why yeah,

298
00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:03.720
Babara, sure, yeah, not
yet, kids, Not till you two

299
00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:06.799
tell me what you came to find
here tonight and the other night. You've

300
00:22:06.799 --> 00:22:08.960
been here, you said a while
ago. You looked every place but the

301
00:22:08.960 --> 00:22:11.880
hall close. I've never been here
at night, not without Clinton. Don't

302
00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:15.960
talk to him, Barbara. You
don't have to. I won't, mister

303
00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:18.880
Marlow. You can't keep us here. I have to go to Clinton.

304
00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:22.200
I have to be I'll get that. Don't forget. You're still covered,

305
00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:27.960
busting Yes, sergeant, how's rogers? Okay, they gave him a sedative

306
00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:32.000
a while ago. He's not like
a light, but he's gonna be all

307
00:22:32.119 --> 00:22:34.960
right. I see, did he
say anything? We're able to talk to

308
00:22:36.039 --> 00:22:37.920
him. I was able, but
he wasn't. Sort of delirious. I

309
00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:42.319
guess mumbokes something about Barbara. And
then just after they gave him the shot,

310
00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:45.240
he said over and over, don't
be a fool, but don't do

311
00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:49.759
it. But he did. Man, Well, that's something it sure is.

312
00:22:51.599 --> 00:22:55.599
Thanks, Sergean, I'll call you
back. What did they say about

313
00:22:55.759 --> 00:23:00.480
Clint? It looks like we're looking
for a murderer. Now take it easy,

314
00:23:00.519 --> 00:23:03.720
honey. We had one break though. It'll interest you, budd Well,

315
00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:07.319
let the police know who shot him. Clint told him, what are

316
00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:11.799
you doing? You're protecting myself.
I want to use that gun now,

317
00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:15.599
Milow. I'm keeping it right here
in front of them. Yeah, I

318
00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:18.440
see. I thought you'd have a
thirty eight bud that kind of clinches.

319
00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:22.279
It doesn't yet, it doesn't.
Please, don't stands. Tell him shut

320
00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:26.519
up, You go, kid,
and we'll talk about this. Won't get

321
00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:33.400
hurt unless you hurt it. Pop
your gun, bud, someone's coming.

322
00:23:37.559 --> 00:23:41.960
Thanks, for the souvenir bud.
Oh my goodness, good word, mister

323
00:23:42.039 --> 00:23:45.519
Morlow. Barbara, honey, are
you all right? Yes, I'm a

324
00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:51.680
How about that, mister Larry,
I mean in when you did you nothing

325
00:23:51.680 --> 00:23:59.920
but a bloody hero. Oh my, I feel so good. Lord,

326
00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:08.680
there he goes again. Lucille was
a past master at reviving him. By

327
00:24:08.680 --> 00:24:12.119
now. She hold him sack stile
over to the couch. While I told

328
00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:17.279
Barbara Clint was going to be okay, I kept but him mobilizing until the

329
00:24:17.359 --> 00:24:22.119
squad little sergeant arrived with a squad
car. They hauled him away. I

330
00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:25.119
dug the thirty eight slug out of
the plaster and gave it to the sergeant.

331
00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:29.559
The show was over, mister Larry
obligingly snapped too, you feel like

332
00:24:29.680 --> 00:24:32.640
walking, mister Larry, I could
carry you to your bungalow, you know,

333
00:24:32.799 --> 00:24:36.160
Oh Mercy, no less your love
walk. If you just let me

334
00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:41.000
use your arm for support, You're
just welcome to it. I'm sure,

335
00:24:41.319 --> 00:24:45.200
can I hope, but no,
thanks so much, mister Mallow. Will

336
00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:48.839
manage you give mister Rogers my death, Barbara, I will have been glad,

337
00:24:49.640 --> 00:24:53.880
you know. Let I'm beginning to
see the value in the love and

338
00:24:55.559 --> 00:25:03.039
protection. I'm a strong woman.
How about it it? See'd be good

339
00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:07.000
for him? Yeah, he Look, honey, what's this all about?

340
00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:10.720
You've been looking for something? So
is, but apparently Clint got himself shot

341
00:25:10.759 --> 00:25:12.359
because of it. Now what is
it? Bud said it was money,

342
00:25:12.599 --> 00:25:15.920
that Clint had some hidden here in
the house. I didn't believe it.

343
00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:21.240
Still there there was something between Clint
and me, something you wouldn't tell me.

344
00:25:21.599 --> 00:25:25.119
Whatever it was, it's kept us
from getting married. What was Bud

345
00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:27.880
storing? Well, you see,
Bud's known Clint a long time. He

346
00:25:29.079 --> 00:25:33.759
just came out here a couple of
months ago from Ohio. Clint didn't seem

347
00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:37.319
to want us to get acquainted at
buddon me. It wasn't jealousy. It

348
00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:41.799
was something else I couldn't understand.
Last week, Bud told me that Clint

349
00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:47.200
had robbed some store back east,
that he'd been caught and served some time,

350
00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:49.880
but they'd never found the money,
and that that Clint somehow escaped from

351
00:25:49.920 --> 00:25:52.799
prison, came out here and brought
the money with him. It could be

352
00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:57.319
Clint called Bud looking for something here
tonight. By the way, where'd you

353
00:25:57.359 --> 00:26:00.079
run into Button Man? Or just
about a block or two from here at

354
00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:03.960
the corner. I was driving home
from a movie. Decided to come up

355
00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:08.799
here for one more look before Clint
got home. I insisted that Bud come

356
00:26:08.839 --> 00:26:12.559
with me. He didn't want to. Let's see what we can find.

357
00:26:14.319 --> 00:26:18.039
No one's opened that little trap door
in the whole closet yet. Maybe that's

358
00:26:18.039 --> 00:26:29.359
got all the answers. Why it's
a strong box, isn't it. Yeah,

359
00:26:29.359 --> 00:26:36.480
it's not very heavy, though I
seen the money at all. A

360
00:26:36.519 --> 00:26:41.119
couple of war bonds made out to
Clinton, Rogers and Thomas Riders. Clint

361
00:26:41.160 --> 00:26:42.720
said he didn't have any family.
Look. Look, here's an envelope with

362
00:26:42.759 --> 00:26:48.680
your name on it. The barber
curtis to be opened and fated my dad.

363
00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:51.960
I don't know what to do.
Don't look at me, honey.

364
00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:55.079
I can't decide for you. You
well, you will go with me when

365
00:26:55.119 --> 00:27:00.119
I tell him, though, aren't
you sure? I will? My dad?

366
00:27:02.119 --> 00:27:06.880
This newspaper is clipping will tell you
why I couldn't marry him. When

367
00:27:06.920 --> 00:27:12.400
you read it, you see why
I love you Clinton. I'm afraid to

368
00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:18.119
read the clippings tomorrow. Let him
see it. Not pretty, honey,

369
00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:21.599
But it isn't about Clints. But
then who it's about Thomas Rodgers, who

370
00:27:21.599 --> 00:27:23.559
at the age of sixteen, murdered
his father and mother. The story says

371
00:27:25.279 --> 00:27:27.279
he escaped from the Ohio Asylum for
the Insane in June of this year.

372
00:27:27.799 --> 00:27:32.799
Officials think he may attempt to contact
his brother Clinton and California and bodies.

373
00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:37.279
Yeah, it's his picture of the
story olinto Clint, but a horrible,

374
00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:41.799
horrible thing for him to live.
Yeah, but honey, mister Larry said

375
00:27:41.799 --> 00:27:47.000
a little while ago, the love
and protection of a strong woman. Clint,

376
00:27:47.039 --> 00:27:51.839
Happy, mister Morrow. I've never
been so strong or so protective,

377
00:27:52.279 --> 00:28:07.559
and I've never loved so much.
It was almost dawn now. I drove

378
00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:11.519
Barbara over to the hospital in Clint. We didn't say anything. There wasn't

379
00:28:11.559 --> 00:28:17.559
anything to say. I skirl at
Barbara, old woman. You know,

380
00:28:17.880 --> 00:28:22.559
I never could understand the guys that
pronounced woman as wool man. What would

381
00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:27.319
we be without him? Oh?
They have their faults, but what would

382
00:28:27.319 --> 00:28:33.519
they be without him? Yeah?
Truly, it's been said, there's nothing

383
00:28:33.599 --> 00:28:52.440
like a day. I wonder what

series today. Just search for town Red.

408
00:31:27.960 --> 00:31:33.920
You're listening to the great detectives of
old time radio. Back to your

409
00:31:33.960 --> 00:31:41.359
host, Adam Graham, Welcome back, Well a great pawn in the title

410
00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:48.279
of this final episode and a solid
ending spot for this series, Gerald And

411
00:31:48.519 --> 00:31:52.759
sadly, of course, this would
actually be Gerald Moore's last performance as Marlow,

412
00:31:53.240 --> 00:32:00.519
because whatever plans CBS had for a
future series did not materialize. Fours

413
00:32:00.680 --> 00:32:07.119
Marlow really is one of the very
best radio detective performances. It managed to

414
00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:14.839
combine unrelenting toughness, a sarcastic wit, as well as a strong dose of

415
00:32:14.920 --> 00:32:22.119
compassion and humanity. The character faced
from tragic situations and yet his perspective was

416
00:32:22.200 --> 00:32:30.759
interesting at tension between cynicism and hope. And there are quite a few stories

417
00:32:30.799 --> 00:32:36.039
that are what you'd call typical Marlow
Fair, but there are also some that

418
00:32:36.160 --> 00:32:42.519
really did break the mold. And
this is definitely one series where the lost

419
00:32:42.559 --> 00:32:46.759
episodes are definitely truly missed. All
right, well, now we go to

420
00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:57.720
listener comments and feedback, and we
have a couple comments here. First we'll

421
00:32:57.759 --> 00:33:07.480
start with this question, Steven Rights, could you please define hard boiled detective?

422
00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:12.680
I know Pat Novak is and mister
and Missus North aren't aren't, but

423
00:33:12.920 --> 00:33:20.519
how do you draw the line?
Well, very carefully, and sometimes still

424
00:33:21.759 --> 00:33:28.359
there are some gray areas. It's
a good question, and it particularly I

425
00:33:28.359 --> 00:33:37.000
think it's a challenge when it comes
to radio, because some things that defined

426
00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:45.680
the hard boiled detective, for example, heavy drinking and violence, are if

427
00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:52.599
they were not totally manned. There
was a little bit of curtailment in terms

428
00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:57.119
of how much could be portrayed on
the radio. For my part, there

429
00:33:57.160 --> 00:34:02.960
are several tests I think that I
go through more or less subconsciously, and

430
00:34:04.000 --> 00:34:08.559
the more of those factors tend to
match up, the more I will view

431
00:34:08.599 --> 00:34:16.119
it as hard boiled. I think
for the boiled detective, violence is really

432
00:34:16.639 --> 00:34:23.079
a somewhat regular occurrence in their line
of work. They're getting into fist fives,

433
00:34:23.119 --> 00:34:28.159
they're being knocked out, hit over
the head, and that right there

434
00:34:28.199 --> 00:34:36.599
will automatically eliminate certain detectives like mister
Keenes tracer of Lost Versus. And one

435
00:34:36.719 --> 00:34:44.159
key similarity that the radial Hardboiled Private
Eye does share with the literary one is

436
00:34:44.199 --> 00:34:52.079
the idea that the case gets complicated
and the detective has to embark on an

437
00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:57.760
odyssey through an urban landscape, as
one source puts it, And of course

438
00:34:58.119 --> 00:35:01.920
the length of this odyssey is limited
by the fact that we're working in a

439
00:35:01.960 --> 00:35:07.119
thirty minute radio program as opposed to
a two hundred and fifty page novel.

440
00:35:07.480 --> 00:35:14.480
But that's always going to be I
think part of the hard boiled Detective,

441
00:35:15.320 --> 00:35:23.079
and I think there's also a bit
of a world weary attitude that permeates the

442
00:35:23.159 --> 00:35:30.119
world of the radio hard Boiled Private
Eye. It doesn't have to be overbearing,

443
00:35:30.360 --> 00:35:35.519
and in most cases it isn't occasionally
on Broadway as might beat. And

444
00:35:35.639 --> 00:35:44.360
there are other genre clues such as
the tough guy line of pattern and the

445
00:35:44.400 --> 00:35:50.000
first person narration of events. Those
are really the sort of things that I

446
00:35:50.159 --> 00:35:55.519
look for. Not every show has
to have all of those elements to be

447
00:35:55.679 --> 00:36:00.719
considered a hard boiled private eye,
And there were some shows that have a

448
00:36:01.039 --> 00:36:10.480
bit in common with that, but
fundamentally don't really belong in that genre.

449
00:36:10.559 --> 00:36:15.599
So there's some subjective nature in it, and I mean, there are more

450
00:36:15.719 --> 00:36:22.039
academic understands deans of it, but
I guess you know, the best way

451
00:36:22.039 --> 00:36:29.199
to look at is those key clothes. Great question, Stephen, and we

452
00:36:29.239 --> 00:36:37.039
can do have one more comment here. This one comes from who writes,

453
00:36:37.159 --> 00:36:44.119
I love Gerald Moore's voice and he's
such a great radio actor. Well thanks

454
00:36:44.159 --> 00:36:47.519
so much, Francis, and I
totally agree. Was a great radio character

455
00:36:47.599 --> 00:36:58.159
actor and went on to have a
fantastic television career, including in voice,

456
00:36:58.239 --> 00:37:05.000
where I said, a fantastic career. He invoiced mister Fantastic, the leader

457
00:37:05.119 --> 00:37:13.039
of the superhero team the Fantastic Four
in their cartoon series, among his many

458
00:37:13.199 --> 00:37:19.480
roles. Well and We'll definitely miss
hearing him, but we're not quite done

459
00:37:19.480 --> 00:37:25.760
with Philip Marlow. Next week we'll
hear another adaptation of Philip Morrow, this

460
00:37:25.880 --> 00:37:32.320
time with Dick Pollan that role for
a special episode, So be sure and

461
00:37:32.559 --> 00:37:38.519
listen again next Wednesday. Join us
tomorrow for Boston Blackie. In the meantime,
