11
00:00:54,799 --> 00:00:58,799
classic comics. There are a lot
of bad ones out there that's not our

12
00:00:58,799 --> 00:01:06,000
focus. Were investigating titles both old
and new that could be classified as classic

13
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,920
comics. Check it out Classic Comics
Guy dot com. I've had a lot

14
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:15,319
of fun recording various episodes I've just
recorded. It will be a few months

15
00:01:15,359 --> 00:01:19,640
till it ever. A few weeks, i should say, but we'll be

16
00:01:19,879 --> 00:01:25,920
reviewing round thirty Batman team ups from
the nineteen seventies. Be a lot of

17
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:33,959
fun. That's classic comics Guy dot
com. Well after the end of the

18
00:01:34,239 --> 00:01:40,719
thirteen week series, ABC decided not
to bring Superman back in prime time.

19
00:01:41,519 --> 00:01:48,799
However, they were interested in running
it as a juvenile program with twice weekly

20
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:53,879
Airy. However, their budget was
considerably less. They needed all of the

21
00:01:53,959 --> 00:02:00,359
stars of the program to agree to
work for a union scale the acting equivalent

22
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:07,159
of minimum Wade and so Bud Collyer, Jackie Kelk who played Jimmy Olson,

23
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:16,199
and announcer in the voice of Beanie
Martin Jackson Beck were all done. Joan

24
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:23,000
Alexander did return as Lois Lane.
No one knows if Julian Noah returned as

25
00:02:23,039 --> 00:02:28,360
Perry White. We only have one
episode available and it didn't feature Perry.

26
00:02:28,879 --> 00:02:36,719
The decision by Paulier, Kelk and
Back to leave was understandable in many ways.

27
00:02:36,759 --> 00:02:38,919
I think the signposts were there that
this was really the end of the

28
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:44,560
road for Superman, and they probably
sensed that continuing the series at this point

29
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:50,360
was just more trying to prop things
up and push things far beyond the natural

30
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:55,120
lifespan, and they had great opportunities
that were beckoning them, particularly mister Collyer

31
00:02:55,240 --> 00:03:01,240
on television for Superman. They got
Michael fitzmo Race for the announcer. They

32
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:06,759
got Ross Martin of Wild Wild West
fame. Well, we don't they have

33
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,199
a pretty good career. Now we
only have one episode, and I wish

34
00:03:10,199 --> 00:03:14,879
we could play it as Thanksgiving because
they went to pains to make it a

35
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:20,759
Thanksgiving episode. The title is the
Story of Marina Bomb. The original air

36
00:03:20,879 --> 00:03:24,680
date is November the twenty third,
nineteen fifty. Let's go ahead and take

37
00:03:24,719 --> 00:03:30,159
a lesson Silberman in the moment.
Stay tune. Well, boys and girls,

38
00:03:30,159 --> 00:03:31,159
how did it go today? Have
you had your big dinner yet?

39
00:03:31,199 --> 00:03:35,719
Her? Will it come tonight?
I guess most Thanksgiving feasts are held in

40
00:03:35,719 --> 00:03:38,400
the afternoon. Our tame everybody seems
eat so much that it takes some hours

41
00:03:38,439 --> 00:03:43,719
to recover. But that's one of
the wonderful things about Thanksgiving, just as

42
00:03:43,759 --> 00:03:46,800
one of the wonderful things about our
country is the ability to furnish all the

43
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:51,879
good things to eat and wear and
play with and live with. Say,

44
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,919
I just thought of something. If
the pilgrim fathers gave the first thanks for

45
00:03:55,039 --> 00:03:59,039
the little of the they had,
we have so much more reason to give

46
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,240
thanks today, for they and those
who followed them have created and this wonderful

47
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:09,360
country of honor. Flatter than a
speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotives,

48
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,599
able to leave fall buildings at a
single bound. Up on the star,

49
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:27,120
It's a birth, It's a plane, It's Superman. The Adventures a

50
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:32,879
Superman. When the planets dripped on
the home of a race of Superman exploded

51
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,120
into dusts. The sole survivor was
an infant boy who had been shot to

52
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:40,759
worth in a sealed rocket. Today, that boy, grown the manhood,

53
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:45,040
is known as Superman, born,
enemy of the forces of evil weighed him

54
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,800
in his never ending fight for truth
and justice. He masquerades as Clark Kent,

55
00:04:48,199 --> 00:04:54,120
crime reporter for a great Metropolitan newspaper. His secret is carefully guarded.

56
00:04:54,639 --> 00:05:00,959
No one is aware that Kent is
Superman's no One, but you join with

57
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:08,879
us know on ABC as Superman fights
against the insidious forces of rumors and suspicion.

58
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:23,040
In the Transcribe Stories of Marina Baums, our scene is Clark Kent's private

59
00:05:23,079 --> 00:05:26,120
office at on the Troupelo Say planet, where we find the mild man out

60
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:30,000
reporter whom we know as Superman working
on a story. Suddenly he frowned,

61
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,680
stopped ticking on his typewriter, then
almost angrily, rips out the sheet of

62
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:39,519
paper and runs his hand despairingly through
his hair. Oh, hang it all,

63
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,319
what's the matter with me? I
can't write a word today? A

64
00:05:42,439 --> 00:05:47,720
girl's life is a perfect oh nut. Hello, Hello, yes speaking miss

65
00:05:49,959 --> 00:05:54,160
Oh of course, mister k could
you come over to our house right away.

66
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:58,399
Well, it's about Jimmy. What
do you mean in trouble. He's

67
00:05:58,439 --> 00:06:01,959
got into a fight this afternoon.
He beat up another boy. I can't

68
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,519
explain over the phone. Mister Please
please come over and talk to him.

69
00:06:05,879 --> 00:06:19,399
There's no tell him what he'll do
next. Jim Olsen in serious trouble in

70
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:30,800
this latest Superman adventure. Keeps listening
and now to continue the adventures of Superman

71
00:06:31,399 --> 00:06:41,480
and the story of Marina baumb In
response to a sudden, urgent summon from

72
00:06:41,519 --> 00:06:45,079
Cub reporter Jim Olson's mother, Clank
Kent is about to leave his office at

73
00:06:45,079 --> 00:06:49,000
the Daily Planet when he is interrupted
by a knock at the door. Yes,

74
00:06:53,959 --> 00:06:59,839
yes, I would pretty much.
I'm sorry I was just leaving miss,

75
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:06,319
Miss Marinas. Why why you're the
girl Jimmy has told your Jimmy.

76
00:07:06,959 --> 00:07:10,600
Why no, do you know?
Jim? Yes, that's why I've come

77
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,279
to you, mister Kent. You
must help him. He's in grave trouble.

78
00:07:14,399 --> 00:07:15,160
I know. I was just on
my way over to his house.

79
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,360
As a matter of fact, suppose
you tell me what it's all about me?

80
00:07:19,199 --> 00:07:23,959
You? Yes, you see,
Jimmy and I have become very good

81
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:29,600
friends. We live near to each
other. I was adopted by a family

82
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,439
that lives a couple of blocks away
from him. Oh, mister Kent,

83
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,319
this afternoon, we were taking a
walk, as we have done quite often,

84
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:41,480
and we met a boy who who
said some very cruel things to me,

85
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,920
such as he said, why don't
I go back where I came from?

86
00:07:46,079 --> 00:07:49,879
Oh? And people like me I
just wanted here in America. That

87
00:07:50,079 --> 00:07:53,800
is not true, is it?
The second? Of course not. I

88
00:07:53,879 --> 00:07:59,879
suppose jim took over them. Yes, he was wonderful, but it was

89
00:08:00,079 --> 00:08:03,759
very horrible. Jimmy beat him a
mercifully, I can imagine, so beg

90
00:08:03,879 --> 00:08:05,680
you that the boy had to go
to the hospital. His father and mother

91
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,160
said they were going to call the
police. Mister Kent, what will we

92
00:08:09,279 --> 00:08:13,560
do first? We're going to see
Jim and then we'll start educating a few

93
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:26,920
people. I don't think I should
have come with the office. Why not,

94
00:08:28,079 --> 00:08:30,319
Marina, I'm sure Jim would like
to see you. Yes, but

95
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,159
oh yes, good evening, missus
Olson. Oh, mister Kent, I'm

96
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,480
so glad you're here to come in. Thank you. Go ahead, Marina.

97
00:08:37,759 --> 00:08:41,039
Yes, good evening, Marina,
good evening. This is awesome.

98
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,399
I didn't expect to see you here. Really came to my office and told

99
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:50,840
me what happened, missus Alson,
Oh she did, so I brought her

100
00:08:50,879 --> 00:08:52,120
with me. I knew Jim would
want to see her again. Well,

101
00:08:52,159 --> 00:08:56,639
I really couldn't say. Where is
he, missus Alson? Upstairs in his

102
00:08:56,799 --> 00:08:58,279
room? Be all right if we
go up, Yes, of course,

103
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:03,120
but I think he'd rather speak to
you alone, mister kid alone. But

104
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,919
please go to the mister, can't
I understand? All right, Marina,

105
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,320
you wait here. We'll be down
in a few minutes and then we'll get

106
00:09:11,399 --> 00:09:20,639
everything straightened out. Oh gosh,
am I glad to see you, mister

107
00:09:20,799 --> 00:09:24,159
Kent. Well, Sir Lucinvar.
Outside of a black eye, you don't

108
00:09:24,159 --> 00:09:26,559
look too much the words for wear. Oh, I was lucky, I

109
00:09:26,639 --> 00:09:30,399
guess, and mad, too mad
to get hurt. You should have heard

110
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,559
the awful things he said, mister
Kent to a nice girl like Marina.

111
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,799
Marina has already told me, Jim, what she did. Yes, she

112
00:09:35,879 --> 00:09:39,000
came to my office and now she's
downstairs waiting to see you. Downstairs?

113
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:45,559
Is is my mother down there with
her? We better go down right away,

114
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:46,720
mister Kent. Why, I thought
you'd want to tell me your side

115
00:09:46,759 --> 00:09:50,840
of the fight. And I'd like
the name of the other boy. I

116
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,519
want to have a little talk with
him. Oh, he doesn't matter anymore,

117
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,200
mister Kent. Well, what do
you mean, Jim. Of course

118
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:58,000
he pays, mister Kenny doesn't.
Honesty doesn't Jim. I'm afraid I don't

119
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:03,480
understand. That's all over Gosh,
I don't even know how to say it.

120
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:11,360
It's it's mom. Yes, I
haven't spoken to her in almost two

121
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,960
days. What, Yeah, she
said it It wouldn't be advisable for me

122
00:10:16,039 --> 00:10:18,000
to see Marina again. That she
wasn't the sort of girl I should be

123
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,360
going around with. What would your
mother said? Why? Yeah? She

124
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:26,399
said Marina was different, she wasn't
our kind. Then I guess I answered

125
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:30,320
her back and well that's where I
got into that fight this afternoon. Of

126
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:31,639
course, Jim, you had to
let off steam. How's it going to

127
00:10:31,759 --> 00:10:35,879
end, mister Kemp, I don't
know. Come on downstairs, but come

128
00:10:35,919 --> 00:10:48,399
on, I'm going to have a
talk with your mother. Oh there you

129
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,279
are, Jimmy. You feel better
enough? Yeah? I guess so.

130
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:56,240
Well? Where's Marinas? Is awesome? Marina? Yes? Why she left

131
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,840
a few minutes ago? Why she
really didn't feel comfortable here? Jim?

132
00:11:00,399 --> 00:11:01,840
She must realize she was out of
playing. What do you mean out of

133
00:11:01,919 --> 00:11:05,159
place? Jim? It's one of
those things you'll understand when you're older.

134
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,840
Mom, Him, Why don't you
go out for a walk? Huh the

135
00:11:09,919 --> 00:11:11,559
earl? Are you going? And
I don't think it would be advisable after

136
00:11:11,639 --> 00:11:16,159
what happened this afternoon. Perhaps you'd
better stay in, Jim. I'm sorry,

137
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:20,600
Mama gotta go. I'll see you
later, right, Jim? Really,

138
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,919
mister Kent I, I must say
I don't think you acted very wisely

139
00:11:24,039 --> 00:11:28,120
in suggesting that Jim take a walk. Yes, why shouldn't he? Are

140
00:11:28,159 --> 00:11:31,600
you afraid he'll meet his girl?
Marina? I don't think advisable for you

141
00:11:31,759 --> 00:11:35,080
to refer to her that way.
You don't think a lot of things are

142
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:39,240
advisable to you, missus Alson.
Mister Kent, surely you understand the circumstances.

143
00:11:39,639 --> 00:11:43,039
Marina isn't the right kind of girl
for Jim because she speaks with an

144
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:48,440
accent. You might say that,
yes, and because she worships differently at

145
00:11:48,519 --> 00:11:52,600
all. It isn't my business what
her religion is. Don't mistake me.

146
00:11:52,639 --> 00:11:56,120
I'm a great believer intolerance, mister
Kent. Missus Alson, you might just

147
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,120
as well admit that you don't like
Marina's religion and be honest about it.

148
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:03,240
Really, mister Kent, I'm very
tolerant. You just won't understand. I'm

149
00:12:03,279 --> 00:12:07,440
afraid you're the one who won't understand, missus Olson. But perhaps you will

150
00:12:07,519 --> 00:12:09,519
if I tell you a rather strange
story. This is hardly the time the

151
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,879
story. On the contrary, there
couldn't be a better time. I tried

152
00:12:13,919 --> 00:12:16,840
to write this story earlier this afternoon, but I just couldn't get it to

153
00:12:16,919 --> 00:12:20,600
Gael. No, I think I
can, and I'd appreciate it if you'd

154
00:12:20,639 --> 00:12:43,240
listen. Keep listening as Clark Kent
tells Jim Olson's mother the story of Marina

155
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:54,240
Baum. And now back to The
Adventures of Superman and the Story of the

156
00:12:54,279 --> 00:13:03,159
Marina Baum. It began in a
small town called Norajak in Poland, a

157
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,240
few miles from the German border.
The time was September nineteen thirty nine.

158
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,399
Does that mean anything to you,
Missus Olson Why? Yes? When the

159
00:13:11,519 --> 00:13:16,679
Nazis invaded Poland, well about a
week before the Panzer divisions rolled into that

160
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:22,600
helpless country, the blacksmith of Norajak
called his daughter Marina to him. Marina,

161
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,039
yes, Missus Olsen. The blacksmith's
name was Balm and when he spoke

162
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:30,799
to his daughter, she was frightened. She had never seen him so serious

163
00:13:30,879 --> 00:13:41,200
before. Marina, my child,
Please try to understand what I tell you.

164
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:48,440
Terrible things are happening in this world. People have gone met it with

165
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,960
Cindy. They wish to give one
another. What do you see? I

166
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:58,960
do never understand. No, of
course you don't. You're too young.

167
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:07,120
But I'm afraid you will grow up
very quickly and we'll face much sorrow.

168
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:13,840
Listen to me, Marina, Soon, perhaps in weeks, perhaps even days,

169
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:20,279
the enemy will come. Norazak is
very close to the border. We

170
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:26,559
shall be the first to feel that
terrible power. Yes, my child,

171
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:35,720
and should the Nazis come before you
and Peter can escape, I want you

172
00:14:35,879 --> 00:14:45,440
to remember one thing. Leave,
Marina, Live, protect your little brother,

173
00:14:45,639 --> 00:14:50,879
do anything everything, only live.
Fight as hard as you can remember,

174
00:14:52,039 --> 00:14:58,159
child, No matter what the Nazis
do, be strong. You are

175
00:14:58,279 --> 00:15:07,279
the future. Keep these words always, senior heart Marina, thrusting God,

176
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:18,759
and leave. Marina remembered her father's
words well for the very next week.

177
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:24,039
Before she and her brother could leave
Norrichek, the stormtroopers marched in. The

178
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,279
blacksmith and his wife fell before them, and Marina and Peter were left orphans,

179
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:35,519
along with fifty other children. One
day, they were all lined up

180
00:15:35,559 --> 00:15:37,679
in the town square, then in
charge of a Nazi patrol, were marched

181
00:15:37,679 --> 00:15:41,879
out into the country. Fifty children
missus Olsen in double file, bewildered,

182
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:46,399
lost, frightened on a march to
nowhere, And in the center of the

183
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:50,320
line walked Marina, carrying her brother
Peter, and a small knapsack containing bread

184
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:54,519
and milk, only enough food for
the baby. The children marched for hours.

185
00:15:54,559 --> 00:15:58,879
They traveled endless miles, until their
feet blistered and bled in their shoes,

186
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:02,320
and their little legs became stilts of
pure agony. But on. They

187
00:16:02,399 --> 00:16:04,639
struggled on and on, driven by
the menacing shadow of the Nazi guards.

188
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,000
Finally, toward evening, the Nazis
called a halt, and the children sank

189
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:12,440
gratefully in the soft grass bordering the
road. Marina's eyes flickered over the landscape

190
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,080
watchfully. A few minutes later,
she heard a low, throbbing roar,

191
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,559
and around the bend in the road, the first heavy trucks of a long

192
00:16:18,639 --> 00:16:22,759
German motor convoy roared in the view. Marina's eyes brightened, and holding Peter

193
00:16:22,799 --> 00:16:29,600
close, she prounced from the grass. As the trucks roared passed, she

194
00:16:29,639 --> 00:16:32,399
fixed her eyes on the guards,
and as they turned away with their passing

195
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:36,480
comrades, she called out to the
other children, if you want, they're

196
00:16:36,559 --> 00:16:40,919
not watching us, running through the
woods and hide hide. Jumping to a

197
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:42,720
peak, Lorena began to run,
the other children studdling along behind her.

198
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:45,720
Suddenly the ear rang was shot,
but they kept on, like young wild

199
00:16:45,759 --> 00:16:49,480
animals, charging deep into the underground. Shortly, some of the children began

200
00:16:49,519 --> 00:16:52,480
to falter, then drop, but
Marina kept on, clutching Peter to her

201
00:16:52,519 --> 00:16:56,679
frail body. Driven by the distant
howling of an unleashed pack of dogs.

202
00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:00,480
Now Marina was alone in the woods, alone with the knight, the terrible

203
00:17:00,519 --> 00:17:03,319
sound of the dogs coming closer and
closer. When at last it seemed that

204
00:17:03,359 --> 00:17:07,519
there could be no hope, she
saw a silvery gleam of water ahead.

205
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,839
It was a small forest lake,
and without hesitation, she plunged in.

206
00:17:11,079 --> 00:17:14,440
Holding the baby high on her shoulder, she waited out as far as she

207
00:17:14,519 --> 00:17:17,880
could, making certain Peter's face stayed
above the water, and as the dogs

208
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,079
approached, she pushed the last bottle
of milk in the baby's mouth to keep

209
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:38,440
him quiet, and prayed, Ah
there hut its return. For the moment,

210
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:44,200
Marina was safe, but now Peter
was soaked. He needed dry clothes,

211
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,599
warmth, and rest. So the
girl continued unto the forest until she

212
00:17:47,599 --> 00:17:51,160
saw a light gleaming through the trees. A few minutes later, she and

213
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:56,720
her brother were inside the small,
comfortable hut of an elderly woodcutter, where

214
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:02,400
my show I was shake with keep
you here, but I cannot. The

215
00:18:02,599 --> 00:18:07,599
Nazis will come soon enough. They
do not like us either, and then

216
00:18:07,559 --> 00:18:14,200
you must know what will happen.
Oh, keep it and I we will

217
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:18,119
go on. We will find a
place. There is a place not very

218
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:23,240
far from here where you will find
shelt where you and your brother will will

219
00:18:23,319 --> 00:18:27,799
always be taken care of the lea. Yes, it is a convent.

220
00:18:29,799 --> 00:18:34,519
Oh, a convent, yes,
where the kind sisters live. Or there

221
00:18:34,599 --> 00:18:41,720
are many children like you in the
convent. I cannot go there. Why

222
00:18:41,839 --> 00:18:47,279
not? They are different? Oh, I do not think you will find

223
00:18:47,319 --> 00:18:49,160
them. So. They do not
live the way we do. They do

224
00:18:49,279 --> 00:18:55,319
not believe the same way, my
child. What difference which way they live

225
00:18:55,480 --> 00:19:00,839
or believe? They are good people? Rest? I will take you there

226
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:15,319
in the morning. Following morning,
the elderly woodcutter left the two homeless youngsters

227
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:22,680
and the care of the mother superior
of the convent, Marina. Why do

228
00:19:22,799 --> 00:19:30,079
you stand there and stare at me? I? I am sorry. Are

229
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:36,359
you afraid, Marina? Yes,
we are not going to hurt you,

230
00:19:36,599 --> 00:19:41,960
my child. We want to take
care of you. Do you believing me?

231
00:19:45,039 --> 00:19:48,799
Yes? You may stay with us
as long as it is safe,

232
00:19:49,599 --> 00:19:56,680
and then if it becomes too dangerous, we will see that you are taken

233
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:04,960
elsewhere to another place of refuge.
That it's really kind of you, dude,

234
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:18,079
You are afraid? Yes, Madrina, would you like to pray here

235
00:20:19,039 --> 00:20:26,960
here, I cannot. I do
not know how to pray in your own

236
00:20:26,319 --> 00:20:42,400
manner, my child, that God
come, Maria. We will thank God

237
00:20:42,680 --> 00:21:00,519
for your coming here together. And
that really is the end of the story,

238
00:21:00,599 --> 00:21:06,119
Missus Olsen. Marina and her little
brother Peter were taken care of by

239
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:10,279
the Mother Superior and the sisters of
the convent, and through the war years

240
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:14,000
were shifted from place to place,
always in the care of the sisters,

241
00:21:14,599 --> 00:21:18,599
until a few months ago when she
was adopted by the Polish family down the

242
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,920
street. Oh, the poor child. What she's been through? Yes,

243
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:26,079
but she's learned one thing, Missus
Olson. But no one is different now,

244
00:21:27,319 --> 00:21:33,279
don't you think you could learn the
same? Mister Kenny. Mister Kenny's

245
00:21:33,319 --> 00:21:37,880
the man. She's gone. What
she never went home? I've been looking

246
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:52,039
all over for but she's gone.
What has happened to Marina. We'll be

247
00:21:52,119 --> 00:22:00,960
back in a moment with the answer. So keep listening and I'll back to

248
00:22:02,039 --> 00:22:11,799
the Adventures of Superman and the climax
of the story of Marina Baumb Up Up

249
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:21,000
Boy. When Tim Oltine suddenly came
home with the startling news that Marina baumb

250
00:22:21,079 --> 00:22:25,200
had disappeared, Clark can't hurriedly excuse
himself and, resuming his true guise of

251
00:22:25,279 --> 00:22:30,079
Superman, rocketed up into the night
sky over Metropolis to begin an intensive search

252
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:38,119
for the young girl. Meanwhile,
in the Olsen living room, Jim and

253
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:42,480
his mother wait in anxious silence.
Missus Olsen tries to catch her son's eye,

254
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:51,519
but without success. Finally, she
says, Jimmy, yeah, look

255
00:22:51,559 --> 00:22:57,680
at me, Jie. Well,
I'm sorry. It's been kind of late

256
00:22:57,759 --> 00:23:03,160
for that. Oh, Mama,
I didn't mean to say that. Of

257
00:23:03,279 --> 00:23:07,240
course you didn't, Jim. Mister
Kent has shown me how wrong I've been

258
00:23:07,279 --> 00:23:12,680
in If he finds Marina, I
promise you she'll always be welcome here.

259
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:18,200
Oh golly, mamma. I knew
you'd see things right. I knew you'd

260
00:23:18,279 --> 00:23:21,000
understand. I only hope it isn't
too late. Wait a minute, it

261
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:25,319
sounds like it is. It's Superman. Hello, Sheeper, Superman. Did

262
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,000
mister Kent call you? Did he
tell you about Marina? Yes, Jim,

263
00:23:27,319 --> 00:23:30,200
I know all about it. How
are you going to help find her?

264
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,359
I have found her? Jim,
Yeah, thanks good. Where is

265
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,480
she coming up the portsteps right now? What she is with a friend of

266
00:23:36,519 --> 00:23:41,440
hers? Well, Jim, don't
just stand there let them in. Oh

267
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,039
golly, sure, oh, Superman, is she all right? Quite all

268
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:49,200
right? She does want to see
a good friend of hers personal advice Marina.

269
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:56,000
Hi, oh gosh, you're okay, good morning, Sure, it's

270
00:23:56,039 --> 00:24:07,640
all right. Does that invitation include
me to Jim. Well, good evening,

271
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:11,799
good evening, father, Superman.
Let me see you again. Same

272
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,839
here, sir, Marina, I
want you to meet Superman. How do

273
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,960
you do Hello, Marina, Marina, my dear, Yes, missus,

274
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:27,880
I'm very glad you've come back.
Oh, oh, thank you, thank

275
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:33,240
you, missus. Yeah. Well, now I have some good news for

276
00:24:33,279 --> 00:24:37,240
you, Jim, Yes, sir, yes, I I spoke to the

277
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:41,799
parents of the boy you beat some
sense into who, shall we say,

278
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:47,920
Yes, sir, there they quite
understand the reason for the thrashing you gave

279
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:49,160
him. As a matter of fact, his father wishes he'd done the job

280
00:24:49,319 --> 00:24:53,039
himself. In any case, outside
of a pair of black eyes and a

281
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:57,279
couple of bruised ribs, the boys
perfectly well. Oh I'm I'm glad of

282
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:02,039
that, and his parents are sure
for me they'll continue the lesson you began,

283
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:07,599
not quite as physically, perhaps,
but as effectively. Well now,

284
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:11,079
Marina, I think we'd better be
getting on home. It's rather mate,

285
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:15,799
of I have a better idea.
What month? Well it? Since today

286
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:21,039

big turkey, Why doesn't everyone's stay and

00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:08,079
New York. This is ABC,
the American Broadcasting Company. Welcome back.

301
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:17,839
Well, that was the only surviving
version of Superman with Fitzmurice in the lead,

302
00:27:18,559 --> 00:27:26,240
and there's some mixed reviews. James
Lawrence God gives him an okay mark.

303
00:27:26,319 --> 00:27:30,720
He's no Bud Callier and that was
a challenge initially for Lawrence, but

304
00:27:30,799 --> 00:27:33,680
he writes, However, once I
listened to the show from beginning to end,

305
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:37,480
a couple of times, I realized
FitzMaurice did a fine job as the

306
00:27:37,519 --> 00:27:40,400
Man of Steel. He's no Callier, but he handled the part well.

307
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:47,720
Michael J. Hayde said that he
really wasn't suited to the part. In

308
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:52,240
his opinion, he's the author of
Flights of Fantasy, and he said that

309
00:27:52,519 --> 00:27:59,240
essentially FitzMaurice is Clark Kent, and
then he's Clark Kent with attitude. I

310
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:03,240
admit, we only got one episode, and and he spends so little time

311
00:28:03,279 --> 00:28:07,680
in it as Superman, so I
think it's really hard to even make a

312
00:28:07,799 --> 00:28:15,319
judgment on him. The story is
fairly good. It was definitely stretched to

313
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:19,400
become a Thanksgiving episode. This actually
was based on a script that aired on

314
00:28:19,559 --> 00:28:26,160
Mutual in February of nineteen forty nine, and so the Thanksgiving stuff is added

315
00:28:26,279 --> 00:28:30,880
in, but you're left to wonder, wait, why did she fix a

316
00:28:30,039 --> 00:28:34,920
big turkey if only she and Jimmy
were going to be eating. I guess

317
00:28:36,319 --> 00:28:40,519
they assume that since most of the
boys and girls at home would probably be

318
00:28:40,599 --> 00:28:45,559
getting big turkeys, that they wouldn't
think too much about that. So maybe

319
00:28:45,599 --> 00:28:49,839
I'm over analyzing. At any rate, that's the last existing episode of the

320
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:56,039
Superman Radio Show. It would actually
continue in production to March of nineteen fifty

321
00:28:56,119 --> 00:29:03,240
one. A one reason that there
are so few episodes, or actually just

322
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:10,000
one episode of this entire run out
there is that stations were dropping Superman and

323
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:18,519
other kids programs right and left for
less expensive local programming, and so you

324
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:22,880
had less transcription disk that were sent
out there in the first place. And

325
00:29:22,119 --> 00:29:27,400
ABC shows have got a really spotty
record on preservation. So that's all for

326
00:29:27,519 --> 00:29:32,720
Superman. We do have a few
listener questions to get too, so let's

327
00:29:32,759 --> 00:29:37,400
start with a question from Dave.
Of course, it's a more of comments.

328
00:29:37,599 --> 00:29:40,920
It's sad to realize you're coming to
an end of the Superman radio episodes.

329
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:45,680
I'll certainly miss this show. I've
started listening to your Classic Comics podcast

330
00:29:45,839 --> 00:29:48,720
and I'm enjoying that one. It's
amazing how close to the TV episode the

331
00:29:48,799 --> 00:29:53,119
Stolen Costume this one is, and
that's in reference to Dead Men Tell No

332
00:29:53,279 --> 00:29:56,880
Tales. I can certainly see how
they use this script and adapted it for

333
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:02,079
television. It's also interesting to compare
this one to the earlier version of this

334
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:06,039
story from the serialized episodes of the
radio show. I agree that using the

335
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:11,599
characters of Candy Myers rather than Batman
as to Superman's predicament. All in all,

336
00:30:11,599 --> 00:30:14,119
of this was a fine episode,
and as usual, I enjoyed your

337
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:19,240
commentary a livelong and prosper Dave,
thanks so much and appreciate you listening and

338
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:25,599
received emails from Dave off and on
for several years. Then we also have

339
00:30:25,759 --> 00:30:33,319
a comment from Ellie no Adam.
I'm so sad that Superman's ending, but

340
00:30:33,319 --> 00:30:37,039
it'd be much better if you posted
all the episodes ever posted, because when

341
00:30:37,039 --> 00:30:40,559
I started listening there were already near
a thousand episodes. I was not able

342
00:30:40,599 --> 00:30:44,400
to listen to about seven hundreds of
them because they were taken off. Did

343
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:48,160
you take them off or was it
just the app Anyway, I've loved yourself

344
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,480
for so long and enjoyed every minute
of it. Thanks so much for all

345
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,440
of the shows you host in the
wonderful radio plays that can be listened to

346
00:30:53,680 --> 00:31:00,480
through you. Thanks so much for
the email, Ellie. And here's I

347
00:31:00,599 --> 00:31:08,640
think where something had happened that I
was not made aware of. TalkShoe had

348
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:14,119
a problem, a data server problem
with that I was aware of, where

349
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:18,200
a bunch of episodes were not available. Stuff couldn't be uploaded for weeks,

350
00:31:18,319 --> 00:31:22,640
and it was a bummer. However, everything went back online and I thought

351
00:31:22,799 --> 00:31:30,720
everything's fine, but a little did
I know. I went to start transferring

352
00:31:30,799 --> 00:31:33,799
a lot of the radio episodes over
to YouTube so we can put them in

353
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:40,839
YouTube playlist as part of the Classic
Comics podcast a YouTube channel, and I

354
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:44,880
was planning on doing you know two
every day that we weren't uploading a Classic

355
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:52,480
Comics episode, but I found episode
one was blank and episode two and so

356
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:57,640
I emailed them and they informed me
that all episodes prior to January twenty fifteen

357
00:31:59,319 --> 00:32:02,559
they haven't recovered and they don't know
when or if they'll recover them, and

358
00:32:02,759 --> 00:32:07,200
they don't think a lot of the
older episodes ever will be recovered, which

359
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:13,599
is very disheartening when you've been recording
on there for ten years. How and

360
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:15,559
they pointed out said it looks like
you upload them, so you should have

361
00:32:15,839 --> 00:32:22,000
backups, and I do of most
episodes. However, when I was going

362
00:32:22,079 --> 00:32:29,680
through my old episode, somehow episode
six through ten of Superman had actually disappeared,

363
00:32:30,519 --> 00:32:34,640
so I do not have those episodes. Restoring them is going to be

364
00:32:34,839 --> 00:32:37,640
a long term project, and it's
going to be something that I get to

365
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:45,039
probably a little bit at a time. If anyone out there has downloaded all

366
00:32:45,079 --> 00:32:50,200
of the episodes and you happen to
still have them, particularly the sixth to

367
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:57,200
tenth episode, and so that would
be starting with Doctor Dalgren's Atomic Bam Machine

368
00:32:58,039 --> 00:33:05,240
and going into five in Sterling Building, Girl Trap. If you have those

369
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:12,160
episodes, email me Adam adamsweb dot
us now. Failing that, I can

370
00:33:12,359 --> 00:33:15,039
re record them, but I'll be
honest, that's not going to be something

371
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:20,799
that's going to happen in the immediate
term, because not only do I have

372
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:24,640
the new podcasts that I'm doing,
I'm also starting a new series for the

373
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:30,960
Amazing World of Radio that's running this
spring. And when it comes to readding

374
00:33:30,119 --> 00:33:38,599
episodes onto the podcast fade and readding
them onto YouTube, that is a long

375
00:33:38,799 --> 00:33:46,640
term project. Talkshos interface for uploading
episodes is very slow, doesn't use FTP

376
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:52,599
or anything, so I have to
manually do each one, and it's not

377
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:57,680
a quick and easy process. If
I had all the files, it would

378
00:33:57,799 --> 00:34:00,960
probably take me working a forty hour
week a week and a half just to

379
00:34:01,079 --> 00:34:07,639
get all the files re uploaded.
And I don't have sixty hours of extra

380
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:15,119
time to spend in a week or
two. So that's kind of where I'm

381
00:34:15,199 --> 00:34:17,760
at on this. So in answer
to the question, we're going to do

382
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:22,960
what we can to restore the episodes, but I'll probably be uploading one or

383
00:34:23,079 --> 00:34:30,119
two episodes back as I can onto
iTunes, and I'll start with the more

384
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:37,360
recent episodes that have been lost because
of those issues with those early episodes.

385
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:42,440
But it is a complicated process,
and I was very disheartened by the way

386
00:34:42,519 --> 00:34:46,199
talk to handled it. They posted
a notice on their website, and if

387
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:53,960
it's a situation where your server tossed
out seven years worth of episodes, you

388
00:34:54,119 --> 00:35:00,519
might want to actually email the person
but I will get on this as soon

389
00:35:00,559 --> 00:35:04,079
as I can. I wish I
could work quicker at it. You can

390
00:35:04,159 --> 00:35:10,119
follow me at Classy Comic Guy on
Twitter and I will be and I'll post

391
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:16,199
updates. And again, if you
have episodes six to nine of Superman downloaded

392
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:22,320
from our earliest days, I would
appreciate having them emailed. If not,

393
00:35:22,559 --> 00:35:25,679
eventually I will re record them,
but it is going to be a while

394
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:30,440
till I can get to that,
so sorry for the downbeat. Note you

395
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:35,360
know this is our last episode.
Should be celebrating the you know, conclusion

396
00:35:36,199 --> 00:35:44,320
and dealing with technical difficulties. And
I have an email from Dakota says,

397
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,440
hey, Adam, congratulations on completing
the radio show. I've really enjoyed your

398
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:52,159
commentaries. Will you be leaving the
podcast stop for those of us who want

399
00:35:52,159 --> 00:35:55,679
to go back and re listen,
Well, Dakota, as explained before,

400
00:35:55,920 --> 00:36:00,760
what is available, I will continue
to leave available on talks You. I

401
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:07,880
would like to have a full archive
of the program loaded up onto archive dot

402
00:36:07,039 --> 00:36:12,800
org so it wasn't dependent on talks
You being there or some issue with their

403
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:16,599
server and there was a backup,
and also having the episodes fully on YouTube

404
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:22,880
so that people could listen to them
that way, but those are long term

405
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:30,199
things. Again following it Classic Comics
Guy on Twitter, and I'll keep everyone

406
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:36,599
updated as to when we have things
break with the Superman episodes, and we

407
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:44,559
will be posting eventually at least the
early episodes. I go to YouTube dot

408
00:36:44,679 --> 00:36:50,079
Classycomics Guy dot com. There is
someone out there who has episodes six to

409
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:58,280
nine. Then I may start uploading
two episodes per day on days where we're

410
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:04,639
not uploading a Classic Comics Guy episode
to the YouTube channel, So go to

411
00:37:05,639 --> 00:37:10,360
YouTube dot Classic Comics Guy dot com. All right, Well, the technical

412
00:37:10,519 --> 00:37:15,480
guilt difficulties aside, it's been a
pleasure to bring Superman to you for these

413
00:37:16,119 --> 00:37:21,400
past ten years. I want to
thank everyone who's listened. I want to

414
00:37:21,519 --> 00:37:25,840
thank those who have guest hosted in
the past. It has really been a

415
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:35,360
treat just to see how many origins
of key ideas that continue to permeate Superman

416
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:39,159
Today started in the radio program.
And so it's been a great pleasure.

417
00:37:39,519 --> 00:37:45,280
And thank everyone so much for listening. That is all for now, we
