And now let's get into this week's episode

8
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:14.920
of the Adventures of Philip Marlowe,
and we're going to bring you a Gerald

9
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:18.760
Moore episode. I've been wanting to
bring you for a while, I think

10
00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:23.640
a season or so back. We
were actually going to play it. The

11
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:33.519
website that I downloaded it from and
listened to it several years ago essentially forbid

12
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:42.000
sharing the episode and did not release
me from that agreement. But it appeared

13
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:47.159
they'd gone out of business, but
they came right back up as I was

14
00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:53.879
getting ready to record the episode,
so I had to replace it with something

15
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:59.599
else. However, since that time, the episode has come into circulation and

16
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:05.439
so I'm using a foul I downloaded
elsewhere. This episode I'm going to play

17
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:10.319
for you today is actually the sixth
episode of the Adventures of Philip Marlow with

18
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:15.960
Gerald Moore. The original air date
is October thirty first, nineteen forty eight,

19
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:23.080
and the title is The Blue Burgunette. They were all after it.

20
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:25.639
An importer, a beautiful woman,
and nothing a guy I couldn't figure out.

21
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:29.680
But before we were through, one
was in the hospital, tour in

22
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:32.120
the morgue, and the park was
waiting for the hangman. All that because

23
00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:39.919
of a blue Burgunette, which was
something I'd never even heard of before.

24
00:02:39.400 --> 00:03:00.840
The crime that can come. Yeah, and now elmore started still of Marlow,

25
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:19.039
we bring you tonight's exciting story,
The Blue Burgunet. The knock on

26
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:22.879
my glass paneled off its doors sounded
like a fresh out of Yale Insurance sales

27
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:28.520
making his first enthusiatic call of the
morning. Yet when the door flung open,

28
00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:31.280
I was surprised to see a man
with no more height and waist in

29
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:37.479
a jockey and all the boyish bounce
of a New Year's day hangover. He

30
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:44.199
was about forty and too cheerfully grew
from Pearl Gray Homburg grew pearl gray sticked

31
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:49.680
into pearl gray back. But when
he started the talk, each best until

32
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:53.840
too much self assurance, and I
didn't like it. My name is Norman

33
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:58.199
Porty. I'm an important located in
Los Angeles and San Francisco. In the

34
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:00.120
area, I'm still of morlow private
to take. They've located all in one

35
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:02.800
place, which means that your rent
bill is higher than mine. And that's

36
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:05.400
all. I have a little time
for flipping tine, I have less time

37
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:09.960
for high handing it. Don't make
ends meet by pulling a rick shari them

38
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:17.079
at the voigt I don't get yeah, thank you the man. I need

39
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:19.800
an escort for a creative rare silts, which is could be pulling to San

40
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:24.160
Francisco to night at twenty five a
day person spenters. I could be a

41
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:27.360
man. I had so much fuss
over a few bolts of spilt. In

42
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:30.040
this case, it's being embroidery on
the material very rare and very intoco Chinese

43
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:34.519
design, which in basic Englhich means
what oh come come mile out. Discoverers

44
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:39.839
legitimately purchased at a little figure and
a profitable resale is my only object.

45
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:42.920
And why the pistol pack and a
routine because I was forced to outsmart a

46
00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:46.519
half dozen competitors to get the material. There are poor losers in every business.

47
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:50.439
Let it exactly now, Will you
take the job? All right?

48
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:54.839
Where do I report? And when? At my warehouse on stalks? Figure

49
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:58.800
up at nine to night? Is
my card out of my assistant? This

50
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:02.240
soundred lane? All right? Will
be under fun or by the way,

51
00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:04.839
mister Boris, I didn't mean to
snap your head off when you first walked

52
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:09.279
in and said that I'm quicker as
anything pushed around. You know, apologize

53
00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:13.120
mister my hum. If it hadn't
been that quick, I wouldn't have hired

54
00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:21.920
you. Good, isn't I said
at the decoeaded card Boris had given me

55
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:26.560
and smiled until his the cutter report
of his build up kuls and faded down

56
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:30.240
the corridor. I dropped the cart
into my pocket, punched out a couple

57
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:32.319
of overdue letters and my Rennington land, and left the office for lunch.

58
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:38.360
Outside. The sun was too high
and the smug too low for local company,

59
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:43.079
so was nothing to do until nine. I decided to drive out to

60
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:46.319
the pier and Santa Monica, where
I could eat French fried shrimps and watch

61
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:50.439
the seagulls collect overhead and squear at
me. When I got to my car

62
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:56.160
and opened the door, I suddenly
forgot about lunch because the man was crushed

63
00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:00.680
inside my car, waiting with a
gun in his hand, getting my quickness.

64
00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:02.639
Then start the car and drive until
I tell you to stop. What

65
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:05.759
are we gonna do about the red
lights? Bud heard of him? Marlow?

66
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:14.720
Start the car accusing you and I
can continue at him? Okay,

67
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:20.199
where to don't drive and listen carefully. I'm a startner. No. Yeah,

68
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:26.240
my name is Leonardo Baa. Does
that mean anything to you? Frankly?

69
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:29.199
No? Then again, I haven't
checked a rogue's giry and almost the

70
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:32.680
mantad Marlow, I haven't traveled the
week of this country without a moment sleep

71
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:39.439
to hear empty world? No?
Where is the blue Burgony? The blue

72
00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:42.800
on the bargain, had the blue
Berga and had Marlow? Where look about

73
00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:46.000
Jerry? And maybe you have all
your marbles and maybe you don't, But

74
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:48.120
either way I believe me, I've
never heard of the Burgonette, red,

75
00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:51.680
white or blue. Don't like to
be with my own eyes. I'm going

76
00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:57.079
to your offe Glorie glories. What
you gotta do with this everything? He

77
00:06:57.279 --> 00:07:00.120
told the burger from You're not a
story, never mentioned such a thing to

78
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:03.240
me, You're life. I've only
been eating nor franglers an now, But

79
00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:08.879
already I know that boy has the
burgoning, and I swear, I swear

80
00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:13.199
by all that holy it will be
in my hands where it belongs before morning.

81
00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:18.439
And if you don't mollow what,
I just had my fenders right now,

82
00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:28.560
I still got the gun, and
I still shore ever mine, and

83
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:36.519
I never went to the safely here
in my eyes. Before I can make

84
00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:41.040
a pass about Gary, he was
gune. I apologize to the cop,

85
00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:44.199
the truck driver and a gaping mob
that was disappointed not to find me bleeding,

86
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:46.639
and then I went for a telephone
to call mister Borries and complain about

87
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:50.360
a madman, a blue burgonet,
whatever that was, and a plea defended,

88
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:56.160
but there was no answer At the
warehouse. Politicos disappeared before I finally

89
00:07:56.199 --> 00:08:00.800
found an important who knew that Lorries
lived at thirteen thirty No Camden Drive and

90
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:05.839
Beverly Hues. Half hour later,
I turned onto a graveled driveway and crunched

91
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:09.199
to a stop in front of a
house which was redwood and glass and gets

92
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:13.519
where the front door is. The
landscaping consisted of a mess of severely clipped

93
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:18.680
trees that even Joyce kilmer With turned
his back on. When I leaned against

94
00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:24.319
the front door, though a fluid
Chinese gown was lying someplace deep inside,

95
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:28.439
and I was ready for at least
two man shoes, and the door eased

96
00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:33.639
open, noiseless way. The collection
of beautiful things that stood five and a

97
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:37.360
half feet above the threshold. It's
about a Chinese as a funded skun standing

98
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:43.480
and had a complexion to match a
waist line was right. Criston let us

99
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:48.840
leading, but the rest of her
strictly speak and potato. Her eyes were

100
00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:54.200
something a little greener than ending.
And when she spoke I couldn't figure out

101
00:08:54.279 --> 00:09:00.080
what Doris wanted With a bunch of
old Oriental chimes, you always dare I,

102
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:05.159
Oh, well, it's more polite
than painting. Beside, you were

103
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:07.519
a surprise. I expected either vorries
or something with a moon's face and a

104
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:13.039
kimona. Now may I come in, Sandre? How did you know you're

105
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:18.360
right? Oh? You must see
miss tomorrow? How please come in?

106
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:24.399
Mister Voies finking something. Oh no, I will beatified for this. Yes,

107
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:28.639
of course we will. The arrangements
to June normal, they're bound to

108
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:37.399
make me happy. You're always happy
to day, mister expect you excuse me

109
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:43.039
a moment. Please sure today as
both you and right we'll be waiting tide

110
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:50.320
by side goodbye of it? Who's
grasping boys? I don't know. I

111
00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:54.480
haven't seen to mister voice personal meal
yet today. You're on the wrong place

112
00:09:54.519 --> 00:10:01.080
at the wrong time. What's the
trouble? A blueberg on? Itt that

113
00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:05.360
again? But you know about the
burgenet mine own nothing but a nut with

114
00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:07.039
a gun in his hand. Wouldn't
believe that? Now? You tell me

115
00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:11.480
just what is a blue burger effort? The worries. It's an ancient ceremonial

116
00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:13.840
helmet. Oh you mean that night
now, master, one of those ten

117
00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:16.480
cans with a hide front for picking
your tea. Yes, but this particular

118
00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:20.120
helmet was only own a metal it's
made of. How the golden covered with

119
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:24.559
jewels was completed in fifteen sixteen.
I know that doesn't agree. It hadn't

120
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:31.919
matter then the entire helmet or burgen
effort that particular stabs called is decorated with

121
00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:35.840
the brig in blue and Nammo also
the worth of child and it hasn't lost

122
00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:39.000
its ruster even to this day.
That's an interesting what's it worth the golden

123
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:41.399
jewls on it? I mean thirty
forty thousand dollars, but that's merely its

124
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:46.200
inclusive battle As an automatic, it's
almost pipe. However, the last time

125
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:50.799
I heard of the Burgenet was in
Italy before the war. The man with

126
00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:52.679
the gun doesn't believe that. He
thinks you've got it near hip pocket.

127
00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:56.840
A man with a gun the Leonardo
about that's right, you know, because

128
00:10:56.840 --> 00:11:01.159
a great uncle about the Yet it
was the last rightful owner of the big

129
00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:05.960
event. And bo Ya has his
own interpretation of the laws of primogeniture.

130
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:09.240
He shows up pretty optically. It's
too threatened, shoe and spy and imports

131
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:13.759
the world over. He's practically an
international joke. Yes, when I find

132
00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:16.080
it hard to laugh at screw balls, and my clients wide to me,

133
00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:20.519
might if I see the bill of
lading on the joke anders you, mister

134
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:22.919
Mallow, all the papers on the
silk tent section. Yeah, I hate

135
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:35.240
to see him in doubt this way
obviously distressed himself under produced anomful of papers

136
00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:37.559
will look more involved in the semi
annual Record of the United States the chipping

137
00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:41.200
Company. I poured over him until
it was up there to even the jade

138
00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:46.919
Buddhism the room that my real interest
wasn't in any figure on paper when I

139
00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:50.440
left. When I get into my
car and rolled out of the driveway on

140
00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:54.159
the cannons, a black coupe pulled
up sharply on the other side of the

141
00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:58.240
street, a long, thin face
that was jacking up an up sandy head

142
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:01.480
and stuffing out him instead at me
like like I was a cyclops wearing hallquins.

143
00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:05.240
He didn't let it go at that, because when I turned towards sunset,

144
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:09.639
he's pointing around and followed. He
stayed that way until we were out

145
00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:13.200
of Beverly Hills and along the strip. By then I got curious to see

146
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:16.919
just how far he'd go, so
I signed for a stop with all the

147
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:20.559
supperty of us cut scout sending his
first message by semaphore, and I pulled

148
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:24.120
up in front of a sandwich shop
a minute after I edit and sat down

149
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:28.960
at the counter as Sandy Hair joined
me. When we shed a seeming cup

150
00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:31.120
of coffee in front of us,
he opened up. You mind passing the

151
00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:35.240
sugar commer? Not at all?
How do you mind telling me why I'm

152
00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:39.240
being tailed? Am I and fit? Attach? You get the sugar in?

153
00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:43.440
Okay, I tell you coming out
of Norman Voice place in Beverly Hills.

154
00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:46.960
Now, what's eat you? I
could say it was my mother,

155
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:50.360
but she wouldn't believe me. I'm
waking my time. Are you interested in

156
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:54.679
making a lot of money for a
little information? A reward? You might

157
00:12:54.759 --> 00:13:01.399
say, always information about what a
blue Burger? Next, say I know

158
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:05.240
a guy you ought to know.
His name's Leonardo Voltiera and blue burgunett or

159
00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:09.240
his hobby. A matter of fact, you might even say that he's crazy

160
00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:18.600
about them. I'm shoving up alone, dandy Head and better. And I

161
00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:22.200
had to mention about Erra's name.
Letter didn't prove anything, and I knew

162
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:26.080
that I'd still have to wait until
nine o'clock when I would do at the

163
00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:30.919
warehouse on Figaroa. Before I could
start anything up. It was only five

164
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:33.840
then, so I went back to
my apartment, showered, shaved and grabsolute

165
00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:39.840
sleep. And then after stopping off
on Lebreyre at a prefabricated bit of old

166
00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:43.399
Spain where I had a glass of
sale Mexican beer. I took a cab

167
00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:50.879
to South Figaroa and the Creative Silk
place with a narrow grave curtains the widens

168
00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:56.159
in the rear to a warehouse.
When the modest passing in high gold redders

169
00:13:56.159 --> 00:14:00.399
and bullies importers, I gathered that
my client didn't care much. Free off

170
00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:05.600
the street. Train with black lay
nine o'clock when I'm not with two minutes

171
00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:11.279
after nine, and then I go
around my right hand were brooding before and

172
00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:15.240
thunder lane came to the door.
Oh, I'm so glad you're here.

173
00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:20.279
Why the place is still dropping?
I've got nothing to strange, noiselessness warehouse,

174
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:24.279
that's the boys left. Finally locked
myself in. Where is Boris you

175
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:26.080
a phone call that after dinner?
Something important? You're having to wait for

176
00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:30.320
you? Where's the silk in the
back and creep? Come on, let

177
00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:33.120
her come, it's gone better off. There's a pack in the driver waiting

178
00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:35.960
offside in the eye. Here's a
bill of lading to the part of the

179
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:43.720
plane. Yeah, what is it
you? It is very dear on you?

180
00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:50.840
Why sundry you said like that?
Hell? Can I be am?

181
00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:54.519
I baby smile after all, it's
gonna a bowl of silk? Or is

182
00:14:54.600 --> 00:15:03.080
it? The truck driver was all
muscle in about it, chatty as a

183
00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:07.039
Lamont farmer was laren jetted. Fifteen
minutes later, when we pulled up at

184
00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:09.879
the airfield, we learned that our
plane wouldn't be in another half hour.

185
00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:13.960
I knew when he scheduled delayed the
two plane want to hang a grass covered

186
00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:18.440
runway? I mean anything from sixteen
minutes on up. So I got the

187
00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:20.519
driver it's constant coffee, and I
got out of the cab to stretch.

188
00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:26.600
No, that's my model for I
got to keep them up. Um where

189
00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:31.639
Sandy hair? What happened? Couldn't
you come to terms of my friend bout

190
00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:35.159
here? I didn't try. It
looked like you'd leading to what I wanted.

191
00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:37.240
Now it seems as though I'm right, Oh, you're not talking about

192
00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:41.759
this bus here right? Nothing else
but model. And at this point it

193
00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:48.639
was to me to see it get
into anyone else's hands and just in time

194
00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:54.320
to save everything that means anything to
me. That's peak comin from. I

195
00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:56.720
should have done that in a week
ago in New York. It would have

196
00:15:56.799 --> 00:16:02.559
been seen cloud that play. Nah
you Marlo getting that though. Wait a

197
00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:04.360
minute about here, we've gone riding
together before it in the leader of a

198
00:16:04.440 --> 00:16:08.279
any grand No mal I know,
but you didn't have the blue bargain at

199
00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:12.960
all wrapped up with your day nine. Okay, okay, where are we

200
00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:17.679
going? Where? Any place?
And so I can get the burgaun head

201
00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:25.679
out of that ugly crate without interference
from anyone, including you. Marlock here

202
00:16:25.840 --> 00:16:30.200
focused to myst has gone and close
to my right here ginning my friend Gallian

203
00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:32.879
should he's opening night. He put
it put on top of mine and shoved

204
00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:37.320
herded and went to the floor and
stayed there. There's thought there was a

205
00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:41.639
clever tho food keep on the throat
until I tell your turns here into a

206
00:16:41.679 --> 00:16:45.879
big disappointment. Bout here there's silken
at bo That's all you've been misled,

207
00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:51.519
Marlow. The silk is nothing but
camouflage for the burglar. Oh, Boris

208
00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:53.559
is a shoe little man, all
right? What makes you think Boris had

209
00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:57.159
it? They because someone got it
away from Hamiston got a few minutes ahead

210
00:16:57.200 --> 00:17:02.559
of me in New York. I'm
a comuss was I followed He let me

211
00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:07.319
straight towards You've been a busy little
bree haven't been harder than I anticipated.

212
00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:12.279
My original plan was not a cont
I even attend my wife away on an

213
00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:18.359
extended vacation so they won't be able
to get at me to her turn rider

214
00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:21.400
beside the road. Hand let me
slow down a little. Will never make

215
00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:26.279
it all right. I'm not traded. They can't strip me of money and

216
00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:33.079
position. But they can't be from
the pindow of Baltierra. How and very

217
00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:37.880
much power is there for thirty thousand
bucks at which a fancy warbet worth to

218
00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:42.279
you cockle. Yeah, but the
blood of ancestors that do it an empire

219
00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:48.720
flows in my veins. Who means
the burgony is the heart and fall of

220
00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:52.039
a tradition that will never die.
I'm penny right now, but that golden

221
00:17:52.160 --> 00:18:00.119
helmet will be the sauce on inspiration
that will recreate the ground of my formula.

222
00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:03.240
Oh brother, you wander, you'll
need a balcony and eat. It

223
00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:07.759
is more chin to get away with
that root tad. Shut up, stop

224
00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:15.039
over there, hundred of three jump
all right now? What get out on

225
00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:23.839
this side? Now push that box
off onto the ground, as you're afraid

226
00:18:23.880 --> 00:18:30.119
I might bend up your pleasure there
alone it is a higher item. Rip

227
00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:33.519
the lid off and a bullet flies
fast. But don't try anything fully,

228
00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:41.920
all right, all right, off
the clue. I'd be very pleased to

229
00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:48.839
go there to myself. Stand back
then, Oh I've waited for this moment.

230
00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:59.359
Do you know? No, I
can't be the boys in dead.

231
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:02.720
You'll think to me the bug and
ware a minute, Wait a minute,

232
00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:04.519
I didn't do that. Oh you
kill the only man who know where to

233
00:19:04.599 --> 00:19:14.759
burking at the sason, I love
the book. He's moving. What kind

234
00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:17.119
of look at yours? One broadside
to me? And I hung an hour

235
00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:18.599
and never right, don't at the
pile of mind away keep behind the bottom.

236
00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:22.200
I took a quick look fish your
boys was really dead, and it

237
00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:26.000
struck me that whether they had tucked
him for shipping. Would go back tundra.

238
00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:27.680
The next I jumped into the truck
and went back to the figure,

239
00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:33.920
a warehouse wide open, single lights
still burned in the back. I propped

240
00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:37.599
the truck and stutted around. The
book gone when I looked, and I

241
00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:41.799
saw a tundra backed against the wall
by a man holding her a gun point.

242
00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:48.920
It was a sandy head, mister
Hamilton's. I couldn't hear what the

243
00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:52.000
beans tall until I ease the door
open enough to get in. Bird.

244
00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:53.680
I don't know money, I don't
look this thing. You might as well

245
00:19:53.759 --> 00:19:57.039
coming because I'm not leaving here.
I know what the bug told me.

246
00:19:57.119 --> 00:20:00.039
I don't know anything about it.
Ye, he got it, you got

247
00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:14.160
it. I don't know how you
got probat Oh what's your ward? Yeah?

248
00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:18.599
Okay, miss me. It's kind
of funny though, how he collapsed

249
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:22.720
all at once. I expected a
real fight trick look in his face,

250
00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:26.680
like what ashes the guys? I
coolly really looked sick name in Hamilton.

251
00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:29.920
But who is he anyhow? I
have no idea. All I know is

252
00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:32.319
he came in with that gun and
tamil. I was waiting here from mister

253
00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:37.000
Boris Bories and a long way.
Pappy Boies is dead. Oh yeah,

254
00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:38.559
I carried his body out of here
myself. And that bucks we thought was

255
00:20:38.599 --> 00:20:44.039
full of silk made it. That's
right. Oh, incidentally, under it

256
00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:52.000
you always wait around with your coat
of your arm. So I'm scared.

257
00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:56.279
I've got to take me the truth
now. Mister Boris had the blue back

258
00:20:56.279 --> 00:21:00.039
in. He said he bought it
from someone I don't know who. A

259
00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:03.240
chipping of silk Beau San Francisco was
only a decoy to get bokier. This

260
00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:06.880
man Hamilton off the trail yea and
brought here was decoyed to a vacn lot

261
00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:08.759
all of ten whole minutes from here. Hamilton's right now, lapping boys is

262
00:21:08.799 --> 00:21:12.359
dead fine, but those boys are
playing for keep, swears a burkingette.

263
00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:15.200
Now, I don't know you stoop
to leave me. I don't know any

264
00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:18.839
more than that. I'm a street. I want to get out of here.

265
00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:22.000
I don't home. I got a
gun. Let's bring him to and

266
00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:25.920
find out where his wrinkle is.
Got some more to handy attends and cut

267
00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:29.240
this water in the back. I
will get right, okay, Come on,

268
00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:30.480
Hamilton, wake up, Come on, come on, come to light

269
00:21:36.359 --> 00:21:37.599
my feet. I made an end
to run around the line of many bugs

270
00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:41.720
and deck the back doors. The
motor rought off down the alley and I

271
00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:44.200
got to where I could see a
pair of tail lights were just winking out

272
00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:47.519
of fight around the corner. And
even before I turned, I heard another

273
00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:51.839
car coming up behind me. Was
blacked out, and Leonardo Boukiera looked like

274
00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:53.119
a ghost that had just seen a
ghost. He was at the wheel.

275
00:21:53.960 --> 00:21:59.759
I died for covers. They put
some bullets any tunnels passed into an alley

276
00:21:59.799 --> 00:22:06.440
after the first car, leaving nothing
but dusty dustments behind him. I've been

277
00:22:06.480 --> 00:22:11.000
as out. I figured if I
wanted to see Sundraon's green eyes again,

278
00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:15.200
which I did, and better price
some fast answers out of mister Hamilton.

279
00:22:17.119 --> 00:22:18.599
He was uttering out a pair of
rubber legs when I got to him,

280
00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:22.079
but I didn't give him the benefit
of any does what's the girl? What

281
00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:26.400
happened back there? Nothing? Just
kidnapping, reckless driving, an assault with

282
00:22:26.440 --> 00:22:29.079
a deadly weapon. And I'm in
the same mood, So don't move until

283
00:22:29.079 --> 00:22:32.880
I finished calling the police. It
the police. You're going to call them

284
00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:34.880
all yeah, and then you're going
to give out with some straight information.

285
00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:37.200
And if you don't think, I
meaned to try getting tongue cide and see

286
00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:41.160
what happened. Wait a minute,
Malo, they've been wasting a lot of

287
00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:48.319
each other time here my membership crid
H. J. Hamilton Investigating Office to

288
00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:53.319
the curator Incolow Hispanic Museum in Chicago. Well suspicious if you were at first

289
00:22:53.440 --> 00:22:56.279
Molo and all the time you were
on the same team and didn't know it.

290
00:22:57.599 --> 00:23:02.440
I hope the outside world it is
about this, okay, halt and

291
00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:04.079
how did the real story like this? One? Two or three? The

292
00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:07.400
museem inherited the childing helmet known as
the Blueberry, and that's from its own

293
00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:11.799
or other undrew aboutieraild in the war. He was Leonardo about Kios great uncle,

294
00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:17.160
and he disinherited that part years ago. I located the helmet in Italy

295
00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:19.200
and brought it to New York last
week. Were stolen from me there and

296
00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:22.960
everything points to one man as the
seat. That's normal, Vorries. And

297
00:23:23.039 --> 00:23:29.319
when we told you Voes is dead, you surely have positive his body was

298
00:23:29.359 --> 00:23:33.160
in the box at the airport.
Leonard about you all know about Tierra found

299
00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:36.920
the body and it almost shocked him
out of his accent. Look what do

300
00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:40.960
you know that I don't about Sandra
Lean I was like, she's voice assistant

301
00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:44.440
that Tom. She knows the boys
had their helmets. She's in plenty of

302
00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:47.799
trouble right now with a bunch of
hole in its set up. And quick,

303
00:23:48.119 --> 00:23:51.200
if you're right, that ship in
the silk weather side tracker wasn't for

304
00:23:51.279 --> 00:23:53.559
you about here, and a big
piece of this thing is missing, Marlow.

305
00:23:55.480 --> 00:23:57.480
There must be somebody else involved if
we don't know about it, yeah,

306
00:23:59.039 --> 00:24:00.559
with you out of his hair,
or he's undoubtedly intended to get rid

307
00:24:00.599 --> 00:24:04.079
of the burg and that tonight.
Oh wait a minute, he did have

308
00:24:04.119 --> 00:24:07.240
an appointment to a war who was
what was that guy's name? A red

309
00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:11.720
faced back. There's a real lacking
boy. I heard his name one ready,

310
00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:15.720
complexion juggle, could have been court
day more day. That's it fence

311
00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:18.480
and we suspect a big one left
Chicago three months ago, lives in Beverly

312
00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:21.880
Hills. Now, huh, I've
got my dress on good you can find

313
00:24:21.920 --> 00:24:26.640
it? Yeah? Yeah, uh
six to one North Maple it's alongside or

314
00:24:26.680 --> 00:24:30.400
what can we lose at good point? Besides, it's about our turn for

315
00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:33.039
a break. You you really look
deep. You're sure you can make it.

316
00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:41.599
I would miss it for anything.
Let's go. You get into the

317
00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:44.880
black drive at yourself. Compey Helton
ad read it and made Beverly Hills.

318
00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:48.759
I drove because he was still slightly
green and a crack on the head,

319
00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:52.839
Brook heard giving him at the airstrip. When we turned into North Maple Drive,

320
00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:56.359
only one of a half a dozen
houses on the blockhead of light burning

321
00:24:56.960 --> 00:25:00.240
as we got nearer that blink does
with the number six twenty one. I

322
00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:03.680
went a out of corner to be
out of sight my house and stopped the

323
00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:07.799
card. The light going out might
have been the coincidence Morlo, but let's

324
00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:10.519
not count them in this corniment of
button button. I wouldn't count on my

325
00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:12.839
own father. I'll look, Hamilton, you're not too chipper, so I'll

326
00:25:12.880 --> 00:25:15.240
go in right. But as soon
as I'm out of the door, you

327
00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:18.880
can make some close supports and my
big front window or a brother, I

328
00:25:19.039 --> 00:25:22.359
might get a hook before we get
out of the wing. I'll remember whatever

329
00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:25.559
I do, well, bank On, you're covering me, okay, yeah,

330
00:25:25.839 --> 00:25:27.599
okay, Marlow, and for comfort
keep your collar open. You're allowed

331
00:25:27.640 --> 00:25:32.319
to get a very warm reception.
I walked around the corner, cut diagonally

332
00:25:32.359 --> 00:25:33.960
across the street, and went up
the steps through the heavy cannel door.

333
00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:38.400
I glanced back once and saw Hamilton
moving slowly next to a high headge that

334
00:25:38.480 --> 00:25:42.119
kept him hidden from me. Went
inside the house, watching. I waited

335
00:25:42.200 --> 00:25:45.680
a moment and got a clip on
my gun, and then not couldn't lie.

336
00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:51.000
I waited again and listened to nothing
happened. From then on, I

337
00:25:51.119 --> 00:25:53.119
knew it would a trap, and
I felt it was comfortable with the last

338
00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:57.240
name and around the Russian roulet.
I was surely before I touched the handle

339
00:25:57.279 --> 00:26:02.519
it door it was going to be
unlocked and one. I got flow and

340
00:26:02.559 --> 00:26:07.160
stepped into one side fast and I
pressed my back against the wall and moved

341
00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:11.519
along the short hallway to the living
room. Still nothing happened. I think

342
00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:15.839
light discovered into the big point window
going across something on the floor, and

343
00:26:17.000 --> 00:26:19.480
took me several seconds to figure out
that there was a buddy. I looked

344
00:26:19.480 --> 00:26:22.759
at the window again and saw him
at be moved outside. So it was

345
00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:29.039
time for light and suck for a
switch. Found one turned it on body

346
00:26:29.079 --> 00:26:33.119
on the floor with off shot being
shot. I walked here across the room

347
00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:37.200
and bed over him before clad day
made it move. You've got two choices,

348
00:26:37.319 --> 00:26:41.160
lady, drop your pistol and stand
up, or hang on the and

349
00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:47.640
laid down beside that corner on the
floor there. Thanks health, then you

350
00:26:47.839 --> 00:26:51.799
be a very well. Republic crashes
and you saw rough potties? Did you

351
00:26:51.880 --> 00:26:55.759
do it? Cuding? No,
he didn't helone, I did mollow.

352
00:26:56.160 --> 00:26:59.160
I had to sun. A few
minute ago my husband broke in. He

353
00:26:59.240 --> 00:27:02.200
and tried to kill me. That's
why I had to kill him. Your

354
00:27:02.319 --> 00:27:07.720
husband, yes, missus, Leonardo
Bocciera, there also a clumsy, hopheaded

355
00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:11.720
viction. Oh stop it, could
I help it? You sent me for

356
00:27:11.839 --> 00:27:14.799
water at the werehouse to night,
Mollo. I took that opportunity to get

357
00:27:14.799 --> 00:27:17.039
away because I had to help it. In the trunk of my car,

358
00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:22.759
I practically fellow Leonardo outside. He
saw me very realized I'd been working with

359
00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:26.440
Voies right from the start. He
was murderous, but he didn't have to

360
00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:30.440
leave him here and killing in my
living room floor. You're a real sweetheart,

361
00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:33.240
you up, baby, and you
kill Vories too. Huh. Yeah.

362
00:27:34.480 --> 00:27:38.160
I went in with him because that
idiot husband of mine would let me

363
00:27:38.279 --> 00:27:41.119
starve rather than sell the bag,
and that if you got it, the

364
00:27:41.319 --> 00:27:47.039
Vorries was greedy double cost me by
trying to sell it to Carday here without

365
00:27:47.160 --> 00:27:49.680
me. Once the jewels was stripping, the gold melted down, the chair

366
00:27:49.720 --> 00:27:52.200
would end. Of course, I
would be out, and that would have

367
00:27:52.240 --> 00:27:56.640
been fine by me. Norman Vorries
at least was a very deep, efficient

368
00:27:56.680 --> 00:28:00.240
lillo man. He's a very dead
little man. So I shut up about

369
00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:03.240
it. I'm getting nervous. Let's
get rid of morlo here somewhere into the

370
00:28:03.359 --> 00:28:06.359
job business. Not so fast.
You've made a fine mix of things.

371
00:28:06.359 --> 00:28:08.279
The murder on the floor, private
dicks in the house. How can I

372
00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:12.480
stay in my bed? Things like
that happening? Before we settle anything else,

373
00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:17.200
we're gonna cleave it all up here, girl, take my gun.

374
00:28:17.319 --> 00:28:22.839
You're handy with him, all right? Marlow A dead man, should carry

375
00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:25.680
him out back to my car.
Oh got anything anything to help out?

376
00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:33.119
Wait? I might have known that. That's what I get for dealing with

377
00:28:33.240 --> 00:28:37.519
that mcask. He wants to go
outside. Well, don't you get it

378
00:28:37.599 --> 00:28:41.200
him? He's got to help out
there, that's right, got a brain

379
00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:48.240
fools him? You got now,
I say we are both of you.

380
00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:56.799
Get your hands up carday, Okay, Hamilton, you can commend now.

381
00:28:56.880 --> 00:29:06.240
Everything's under control, Hamilton, Hamilton
Arnold. What happened? What happened?

382
00:29:06.680 --> 00:29:10.920
Where were you? I guess the
minute I got here to the window,

383
00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:15.960
I I must have passed out.
Oh fine, I was in here making

384
00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:32.400
brave and you were out there passed
How cold? I slipped in the next

385
00:29:32.480 --> 00:29:36.160
day and didn't get to my office
until afternoon. I found then that Hamilton

386
00:29:36.200 --> 00:29:38.319
has been calling all morning. When
I returned his call. He had been

387
00:29:38.359 --> 00:29:42.079
on his recommendation. The museum would
pay me twenty five a day plus expenses

388
00:29:42.440 --> 00:29:47.039
to deliver the blue Burgunets to Chicago. He added that I had nothing to

389
00:29:47.119 --> 00:29:49.720
worry about because it would be packed
in a well labeled box to look like

390
00:29:49.799 --> 00:29:53.880
a ship and the hiccock's belt and
got it. But Hamilton was calling from

391
00:29:53.920 --> 00:29:57.839
the hospital. He had a function
skull from the blue Bulkia had given him

392
00:29:57.839 --> 00:30:02.279
at the airport. So I'm gonna
take the job, all right, But

393
00:30:02.440 --> 00:30:04.799
just as a safety major, I'm
not going to carry that helmet any buck.

394
00:30:06.359 --> 00:30:26.759
I'm gonna wear it. The Adventures
of Philip Mono created by Raymond chandlerstas

395
00:30:26.839 --> 00:30:32.559
Gerald Moore, and it's produced and
corrected by Norman McDonald's featured in Tonight's Past

396
00:30:32.640 --> 00:30:36.400
with Betty Lugerson, Hans con Reid, Alan Reid, Louis van Ruten,

397
00:30:36.480 --> 00:30:45.799
and Howard McNair. This Bankol music
was conceived and conducted by Richard o'rant be

398
00:30:45.920 --> 00:30:51.440
goin to be with us again next
week when Philip Monos day. Strange things

399
00:30:51.480 --> 00:30:53.960
were going on that night. There
was a wild stallion waiting in a garage.

400
00:30:55.319 --> 00:30:57.960
I've gradiated with a chip on his
shoulder and Unsti's comb blowing overhead.

401
00:30:59.559 --> 00:31:00.880
All Right had to do was keep
an angel out of trouble, and that

402
00:31:00.960 --> 00:31:04.920
sounded easy until I found out that
even an angel can be too hot to

403
00:31:06.079 --> 00:31:22.279
handle the adventure. Now at out
in the open in the summer is fine.

404
00:31:23.240 --> 00:31:27.079
Living in the opening winter is quite
a different matter. But that's exactly

405
00:31:27.160 --> 00:31:32.079
where you'll find. Millions of people
in Europe and Asia, and many of

406
00:31:32.160 --> 00:31:37.279
those living outside are children. Support
the Crusade for Children. Remember, the

407
00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:42.079
Crusade for Children represents twenty six long
established relief agencies. Your gift goes to

408
00:31:42.240 --> 00:31:48.640
all these agencies. There's the CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System k m X

409
00:31:48.720 --> 00:32:01.440
long welcome back. While really exciting
enough, Philip Morlow would adventure as typical.

410
00:32:01.759 --> 00:32:09.720
You get a good mix of mystery, hard boiled dialogue, some fun

411
00:32:10.160 --> 00:32:15.799
Chandler esque characters, and just the
right little bit of humor mixed in.

412
00:32:15.359 --> 00:32:21.920
My favorite part has to be at
the end, where, on the basis

413
00:32:22.000 --> 00:32:28.720
of the federal investigator being there,
he convinces the villains to surrender, only

414
00:32:28.960 --> 00:32:32.039
for it to turn out the investigator
had gone to sleep. And I also

415
00:32:32.319 --> 00:32:37.960
like his line about wearing the blue
Burgunette. Really so very happy that it

416
00:32:38.279 --> 00:32:43.839
was finally able to bring this to
you. It's just such a fun Philip

417
00:32:43.960 --> 00:32:49.759
Marlowe story and fills the gap in
the biggest hole in the series because with

418
00:32:49.960 --> 00:32:57.000
the Blue Burgunette, there are now
the first six episodes of the Adventures of

419
00:32:57.079 --> 00:33:02.720
Philip Marlowe in circulation, and six
of the next seven episodes are missing,

420
00:33:04.079 --> 00:33:12.640
which is the biggest gap in the
series. The most after this initial missing

421
00:33:12.720 --> 00:33:19.359
episodes Spait, there's only one or
two episodes in a row missing throughout the

422
00:33:19.480 --> 00:33:22.880
rest of the run of the series. While this is the last of our

423
00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:29.000
newly circulated Philip marlow episodes, this
isn't the last of Gerald Moore because the

424
00:33:29.119 --> 00:33:34.559
series we're going to start playing next
Tuesday, the Adventures of bill Lands,

425
00:33:34.640 --> 00:33:37.880
actually stars more so I'll be sure
to check that out. All right,

426
00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:42.839
Well, I do want to go
ahead and give you an update on our

427
00:33:43.200 --> 00:33:50.079
lineup of programs to come on Tuesday, and once again, due to new

428
00:33:50.160 --> 00:33:53.799
episodes coming into circulation, we've had
to shovel that about again. When we

429
00:33:53.920 --> 00:34:00.640
get into the Bob Bailey Ors Truly
Johnny Doller episodes, we're going to be

430
00:34:00.799 --> 00:34:06.240
playing Johnny Doller on Tuesdays and Fridays. We have to have the schedule clear

431
00:34:06.400 --> 00:34:10.119
when that comes. Now, after
the Adventures of Bill Lance, we're going

432
00:34:10.239 --> 00:34:17.559
to be in previously uncirculated episodes for
about ten months and that will be between

433
00:34:17.719 --> 00:34:22.960
two series, so we're not going
to be hopping around a lot. So

434
00:34:22.360 --> 00:34:30.679
our new tentative schedule for what we're
going to hear in season thirteen is we're

435
00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:37.239
going to bring you Martin Kane.
This is O'sheay Meet Miss Sherlock, all

436
00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:44.320
rather short story series, and then
we'll bring you the Australian series I Hate

437
00:34:44.519 --> 00:34:50.880
Crime. And then we have Adventures
of PC forty nine, Matthew Slade and

438
00:34:51.159 --> 00:35:01.079
Sarah's Private Capers scheduled again very tentatively
in pencil for se in fourteen, but

439
00:35:01.239 --> 00:35:07.000
again all of this subject to change
now. Listener comments and feedback, and

440
00:35:07.079 --> 00:35:12.280
we got a couple of different comments
regarding the Sherlock Holmes episode and we'll start

441
00:35:12.400 --> 00:35:19.280
over on podbeat and a listener comments
regarding the Sherlock Holmes episode Death at Stone

442
00:35:19.719 --> 00:35:24.519
Hinge love how they make women so
emotional after a death. Women are more

443
00:35:24.719 --> 00:35:30.840
level headed than that. Well,
thanks for the comments. Certainly, death,

444
00:35:31.079 --> 00:35:38.000
particularly a sudden one, and bring
a pretty strong emotional reaction from both

445
00:35:38.159 --> 00:35:45.199
men and women. But that said, certain radio programs did turn tend to

446
00:35:45.559 --> 00:35:51.519
overdo it, and the same could
be said a film, particularly of that

447
00:35:51.960 --> 00:35:58.400
era. One of the big challenges
is that for the longest time, acting

448
00:35:59.199 --> 00:36:05.599
was acting for the stage, and
often to convey something you need to do

449
00:36:05.800 --> 00:36:09.320
it in a very big way.
You know, we call it theatrical for

450
00:36:09.480 --> 00:36:15.639
a reason. Doing that same really
big performance, which was perfectly fine on

451
00:36:15.880 --> 00:36:21.679
stage, can really feel feel over
the top and way too much on radio.

452
00:36:21.920 --> 00:36:25.559
And certainly radio did get better with
that over time. Oh, I

453
00:36:25.719 --> 00:36:31.559
do think that New York, where
I believe the Sherlock Holmes was recorded,

454
00:36:32.599 --> 00:36:38.599
the acting tended to be more emotional, go more over the top, and

455
00:36:38.760 --> 00:36:44.920
that could be heard certainly mister Keenes
Racer of Lost Persons, the sort of

456
00:36:45.559 --> 00:36:52.199
flagship detective program that came out of
New York had that sort of heightened emotion.

457
00:36:52.400 --> 00:36:54.760
But you would also hear it,
you know, even on things like

458
00:36:55.079 --> 00:36:59.559
Casey. You know, it would
not be like all the time, but

459
00:36:59.800 --> 00:37:04.880
you can hear it sometimes or you
get really heightened in a way. You

460
00:37:05.039 --> 00:37:12.280
just don't really hear that much on
Hollywood based programs. I don't know why

461
00:37:12.440 --> 00:37:20.920
that is. It might be because
radio in New York City tended to hire

462
00:37:21.679 --> 00:37:30.079
theatrical actors much more than Hollywood productions, which relied on picture actors more and

463
00:37:30.440 --> 00:37:37.440
pictures, you know, I think
after the nineteen thirties began to dial down

464
00:37:37.559 --> 00:37:42.840
the emotion to a more believable and
realistic level. And then I have a

465
00:37:42.960 --> 00:37:47.199
comment on the same episode from Steven
who writes, what a trade to get

466
00:37:47.239 --> 00:37:52.360
a new Sherlock Holmes episode. I've
listened to all the others many times over.

467
00:37:52.920 --> 00:37:58.239
Richard Gordon has an interesting voice.
He sounds slightly nerdy, which sure

468
00:37:58.840 --> 00:38:02.800
Law Holmes Abby would have been.
After Rathbone, anyone cast as homes on

469
00:38:04.000 --> 00:38:09.480
radio had to have a deep resonant
voice Conway, Stanley, Hobbes, Merrison.

470
00:38:09.559 --> 00:38:14.280
So this was a pretty good and
different portrayal for me. Well,

471
00:38:14.320 --> 00:38:20.679
thanks for the comments, Stephen,
and I think you're right. Before before

472
00:38:20.920 --> 00:38:28.800
Rathbone, I think if there was
a definitional voice, it was William Gillette.

473
00:38:28.920 --> 00:38:35.880
You know, you listened to the
way that Orson Wells described Gillette and

474
00:38:36.159 --> 00:38:43.000
how how Sherlock Holmes resembled, you
know, William Gillette, and I think

475
00:38:43.119 --> 00:38:50.599
certainly sounded like him. And the
way that Wells did the performance on Sunday,

476
00:38:51.400 --> 00:38:57.719
it did remind me a little bit
of the way that Gordon did it,

477
00:38:57.840 --> 00:39:04.679
though obviously very different actors. Because
yeah, and I think today we

478
00:39:05.559 --> 00:39:14.639
are more open to slightly differing portrayals
of Holmes, though I think in some

479
00:39:14.920 --> 00:39:20.840
cases we'll just kind of look at
something and say nah, nope, nope.

480
00:39:21.880 --> 00:39:25.239
Of course, the story with Rathbone
and the actors who sounded like him,

481
00:39:27.320 --> 00:39:32.599
it was something that actually annoyed Rathbone
because he kept getting asked, you

482
00:39:32.679 --> 00:39:38.679
know, about episodes of Sherlock Holmes
and what was going on with the program

483
00:39:39.239 --> 00:39:46.800
after he had left Sherlock Holmes,
because they hired actors who could get into

484
00:39:46.840 --> 00:39:52.360
the same range, and so people
thought that Basil Rathbone was still doing it

485
00:39:52.559 --> 00:39:55.079
and this annoyed him. It's like, no, I stopped it, stop

486
00:39:55.320 --> 00:40:00.760
using my voice. But really not
a whole off that you can do as

487
00:40:00.760 --> 00:40:05.039
an actor in those sort of cases. But thank you so much for the

488
00:40:05.119 --> 00:40:07.800
