now back to Sarah Burner as we put the period to Sarah's private coper.
Good morning, Sara report. I want you to safe out. Two boxes
of marshmallers were stolen from girl starts groups Boots fifty five. Let's see you
make something out of that well as the way I see get lieutenant, those
marshmallows were smuggled into the country by a midde disguise as a group. Each
one of those marshmallows contains a diamond as big as your head. It out
of my way, lieutenant, where's my parah? Come back here para And
here's Sarah Burner again. Congratulations sir on your brand new program. It's fun.
Oh thanks you, Frank. It's fun to do, and I'm certainly
looking forward to a summer full of wheating good Sarah, am I when we're
about wheaties, I say the whole week, late Chris, no about,
no about I love lady. They're practically part of the family. Fine,
fine, and we're happy to have you as part of the wheaty family,
Sarah. See your next Bursday Night, Sarah's Private Coopers on Ethane MDCCA.
Oh, thank you Frank, and get your wheaties. Everybody, Good night,
Sarah's Private Pooper. It's been selected by Parker's Fine Good a preatunner,
mister Bucker and listen to. Music was composed and conducted by Robert Dondres.
Heard in the night cast with Ox Mean heres Mother Right Nelson as mister Sack
and Joel Moore Empony does Lex Norton, Peter LEAs Geri Houser, Tom Holland
Jack the Truth and Donald Morrison. I thanks to Howards Up and Lorien Tuttle
the apoing time Scrape with us tonight as Tom Stad and Effie through the Curtsey
of a wild good Company. And this is the Wheaties Man. Frank Martin
invited you to listen next Monday Night to Frank rut Joy and night Beat on
the Wheati's Big Grade. Do you then welcome back? Well, this wasn't
a great episode, but I after a man, I enjoyed it, and
there were some moments that I really did have a good laugh. I like
the idea that the boyfriends boss called for eight a man rather than a t
man. You would think the urgency of Sarah's voice would have provided a clue,
but I think at this point he just kind of assumes that they're both
a little strange, and it's like, okay, well, she seemed to
be in a real hurry about it. Evidently a solid supporting cast, and
you know, the whole concept. In many of the ways that this work
seemed a little bit rough, but I think that's to be expected of a
first episode. Now, this series actually went through a lot of different names.
The title was Sarah's Private Eye, Sarah's Private I File, Sarah's Private
Crime. And this was a series that actually ran eleven weeks, and that's
a lot of titles for eleven week. I mean, you're practically at the
level of Casey Crime Photographer, which was on the air for about a decade
in terms of the number of titles. Sarah Burner was a very talented character
actress. She's probably best remembered for her work on The Jack Benny Show as
a telephone an operator Mabel Flaps Saddle, but did a ton of radio work.
I remember back when I was doing the Men of a Thousand Voices series
that someone asked if there as a woman who did a lot of voices in
the same way that All Freeze and Frank Graham did. And of course I
talked about some of the other character actresses like Virginia greg but Burner may have
had the most versatility of range in terms of being able to do different types
of voices. Although she never did a sort of one woman theater radio program,
this was as close as it got. In many ways. The way
this episode played out reminded me of The Mel Blank Show, where blank stability
to do different voices was used as a big part of the plot. Although
I think this was a funnier series overall, I did enjoy this. It's
the only one of the eleven episodes that we have in circulation, and I
wouldn't mind if more came in. I think it'd be fun to lesten do

about Reinald's murder, Inspector? Unfortunately very few. We know only that Renald's
body was discovered yesterday morning in the apartment of a man named Bailog. Bailog
who's we have no idea. This Bilog has dropped completely out of sight.
Do you have any description of them. We have managed to piece together a
slight description by questioning the other tens. Bilog is a small man doc with
a mustache and a vandyke beard. He customarily wears horn dream glasses in the
brain great, That description could fill a thousand guys in Paris. It's true.
