When the planet dripped on home of a race 23 00:02:05,599 --> 00:02:08,360 of Superman expliments, does the whole survivor was an infant boy who had been 24 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,280 shot to Earth in a seal rocket. Today, that boy, grown to 25 00:02:12,319 --> 00:02:15,240 manhood, is known as Superman. Sworn enemy of the forces of evil to 26 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,919 weigh him in his never ending fight for truth and justice, he masquerades as 27 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,840 Clark Kent, crime reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper. His secret is carefully 28 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:29,960 guarded. No one is aware that Kent is Superman. No one but you. 29 00:02:31,479 --> 00:02:36,520 Jine with us now on ABC, as Superman prevents a brutal murder and 30 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:44,199 solves a baffling mystery in an exciting transcribed adventure entitled The Voices of the Dead. 31 00:02:54,479 --> 00:02:59,560 In his never ending quest for knowledge, Man has dug deep into the 32 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:04,120 long buried secrets of the past. On the walls of crumbling caves. He 33 00:03:04,159 --> 00:03:08,400 has found crude picture writing in the dead cities of Persia and Assyria, and 34 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:14,360 the dark and musty tombs of ancient pharaohs. He has discovered curiously shaped letters 35 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:20,840 and words back through the centuries. Man has traced the written language. But 36 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,039 what of the spoken tongue? Are the voices of Caesar, Socrates, Alexander, 37 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:30,919 yes, even Lincoln lost to us forever? Is there no way of 38 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:37,919 bringing them back from the dim and distant past? Perhaps there is listened to 39 00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:55,919 the voices of the dead. The crack express the golden comets feeding through the 40 00:03:57,039 --> 00:04:00,240 night toward the city of Metropolis. Mark Canton Lois Lane, who boarded the 41 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:05,719 train of his glass to stop. We're about to enter the banning car careful 42 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:15,840 platforms really wooing? Oh why not, kid you go? I hope we 43 00:04:15,919 --> 00:04:18,040 time in had the dinner cards. No, we've certainly waited alf a lot 44 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,639 of time an evening sir too. No, we've had dinner, thank you. 45 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:29,000 We're looking for some I see you looking yell. He is on the 46 00:04:29,079 --> 00:04:30,519 left of the end of the car and it's back too. She could tell 47 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,279 him from his mop of white hair. Who's the woman with him? I 48 00:04:34,399 --> 00:04:39,680 know? Maybe his daughter? Come? No, excuse me, I'm sorry, 49 00:04:40,399 --> 00:04:46,079 I tell pass Clark off called somebody stupid than right? All right, 50 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,519 hard to keep your balance flying around those shirts curtainly, isn't it okay? 51 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:57,800 Lois? He goes doctor Roblin. Are you dressing me, young man? 52 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,399 Yes? Doctor, I'm Clark Kenneth, I troublous Daily Planet. This is 53 00:05:00,399 --> 00:05:04,240 miss Lane. How you do we understand? You perfected an amazing new electronic 54 00:05:04,319 --> 00:05:06,800 voice machine, and we wondered whether you'd spend a few minutes with us and 55 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:12,959 tell us about it. I'm shy, young man, but I don't know 56 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,240 what you're talking about, aren't you, doctor Roebling of the Electronic Institute. 57 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:24,600 No, No, you shouldn't prove made the mistake mistake in identity. If 58 00:05:24,639 --> 00:05:27,720 you don't mind, we'd like to finish odds in there. I'm sorry, 59 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,480 terribly sorry. Let's go, Louis. We're too at the club car. 60 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:46,360 Got to figure this out. Something rotten in Denmark. Oh you know, 61 00:05:46,519 --> 00:05:50,120 Clarde you could be wrong, or isn't that perfect? It's possible, but 62 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:54,319 not in this case. He's not doctor Robling. I'll eat my hat, 63 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,480 remember that, I'll remember, and I eat it with mayonnaise or without. 64 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:02,879 That's not funny. Apartment in car twenty two, the compartment they went into 65 00:06:02,959 --> 00:06:06,560 after they left the dining car. Relaxed, clog jog the ride have done, 66 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:11,439 they existed house and anyway, even if he is doctor love me. 67 00:06:12,519 --> 00:06:15,480 I don't believe that voice machine story. What don't you believe about it? 68 00:06:16,199 --> 00:06:21,639 I don't believe anybody can build a machine capable of re creating voices of well, 69 00:06:21,879 --> 00:06:26,360 taking the right out of thin air? Where do you think Adams come 70 00:06:26,399 --> 00:06:29,759 from? Well, Adam's don voices old book? Do you mean to sit 71 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,759 there and tell me that with doctor Welding's machine you can hear the voices of 72 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,680 dead people? If it's what I think it is, Well, I don't 73 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:43,120 believe. Your grandfather wouldn't have believed television. Your great grandfather wouldn't have believed 74 00:06:43,199 --> 00:06:46,560 radio and the telephone. And you're gradic difference why. I don't know why, 75 00:06:46,639 --> 00:06:51,519 but it is. It's just inconceivable that a person can sit down at 76 00:06:51,519 --> 00:06:57,600 a machine. And let's say here, well, George Washington's voice, or 77 00:06:57,879 --> 00:07:02,000 or Thomas Jefferson's voice, or anybody who's when a curtain died? Boy died 78 00:07:02,079 --> 00:07:10,879 when doesn't he doesn't it not the words he spoke when he was alive. 79 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,279 Well, you needn't look. You can hear me talk. Lois right, 80 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:20,959 because the words that leave my mouth become sound waves that strike your ears and 81 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:25,639 are translated into what we call speech. You're cant in, no, heays 82 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,959 the same with radio waves. They traveled through the air and are picked up 83 00:07:28,959 --> 00:07:32,120 by a radio receiver which translates them into speech and music or what have you? 84 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:36,319 Yet that did hasn't explained. Wait a minute, now, if you 85 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:41,160 were in the next car of this train and I tried to talk to you, 86 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:46,000 you wouldn't hear me. That's a brilliant complain. But why wouldn't you 87 00:07:46,079 --> 00:07:50,279 hear I give up only because you're receiving equipment. Your ears aren't sensitive enough. 88 00:07:50,759 --> 00:07:54,519 My sound waves would be in the next car, but you couldn't pick 89 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,360 them up. Now, my dogs, for instance, have far more sensitive 90 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,279 hearing than humans, all of which had up to time. I think then 91 00:08:00,439 --> 00:08:03,600 Robeling evidently has invented a machine so sensitive that it can pick up and reproduce 92 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,800 sound waves. Clear did years ago, maybe even centuries ago. Boys of 93 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:13,560 Washington thing, farewell, it is true Lincoln at Gettysburg. Sorry, I 94 00:08:13,639 --> 00:08:16,519 still don't believe that that's why that she'd had us fly out to pick up 95 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,160 this train, because it's important that we get to rolling, and we can't 96 00:08:18,199 --> 00:08:22,639 get to him. That he's not on the train. We're not going to 97 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,920 think of it. Maybe he didn't want to talk in front of all those 98 00:08:24,959 --> 00:08:28,319 people in the dining cup. Clock now, why you could you up? 99 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,799 Look, we're coming into Marsden City. As soon as we get rolling again, 100 00:08:33,799 --> 00:08:37,080 I'm going to take another stab at Robling, try to corner him in 101 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:58,000 his compartment. Let has been it's upper waves at Darling with a shogun of 102 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,799 low head time. He's pretty happy in the dining cars. If you don't 103 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,240 mind, we yell to finish. I didn't you. I'm used to women 104 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,799 blowing in the top. You'll train me. Never, i'd low me and 105 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:13,960 needs a good race compartment, great Scott, but never there's no one in 106 00:09:15,039 --> 00:09:18,879 there. How do you know conceit? I mean they're just a so now 107 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,240 cut down there, the doors locked but so why having people a right to 108 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,200 leave the compartments that they'd be like it unless they had yours. And they 109 00:09:26,279 --> 00:09:28,600 just don't understand doors. These doors can only be locked on the inside, 110 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:33,360 except why to conductor and acting that only coming as the conductor? Now, 111 00:09:33,399 --> 00:09:35,840 I'll good, How can you don't make any wild teating worse? Good evening? 112 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,159 Good evening. I want to cut you help me. And it's like 113 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,600 some friends of mine are in this compartment, the doors blocked, and I 114 00:09:41,639 --> 00:09:45,840 can't even get any response. I wondered whether they could have gotten off at 115 00:09:45,879 --> 00:09:48,360 the last stop Wison City, not if the doors locked. I carry the 116 00:09:48,399 --> 00:09:52,080 only g that the lock or unlocked these compartment doors from the outside, That's 117 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,840 what I thought. We tried the buzzer. No, but I rattled the 118 00:09:54,879 --> 00:10:01,639 door and try the buzzer on the lift there. Okay, it needed to 119 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,399 be anyone in there, because it's got to be at the doors locked. 120 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:11,960 Mister, you know them folks are hard weeks, you know. I'm sure 121 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,759 there's no one in that compart trying knocking. Sometimes the local wakened when the 122 00:10:16,759 --> 00:10:22,639 buzzer walked, came, can you unlock the door? One of our friends 123 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:26,360 as an elderly gentlem know, we're concerned about it. I don't know unless 124 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:30,159 it's an emergency. We don't usually a lock these doors. And let's try 125 00:10:30,279 --> 00:10:35,879 knocking once more. What seems like that banging and waked the bed. You 126 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:39,799 better use the key when I gets sold. Yeah, the first time I've 127 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:46,240 had to do this in ten years. Anyone mean there clock no, and 128 00:10:46,399 --> 00:10:50,200 look at the window. Great day in the morning. The window pane is 129 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,759 cut out with a glass pot window all the way, he said Walter. 130 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,279 Obviously to avoid being seated. You mean that old man and that woman climbed 131 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,559 out of the window just to get away from I know there was another reason, 132 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,080 and I'm going back to find out what it was. That way the 133 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:07,080 last stop, Marston City, you go out of a trap and Nandy hell 134 00:11:07,159 --> 00:11:09,600 us. I'll call him if I dig off anything. Hold on the lad 135 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:16,639 wait leaving Lois Lane and Perfullman conductor puzzles and confused Sparks can't hurry through the 136 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,360 observation platform at the rear of the train in the darkness. He quickly removes 137 00:11:20,399 --> 00:11:24,879 his hornrimmed glasses and with a few moments makes of change. From a mild 138 00:11:24,919 --> 00:11:28,519 mannered crime reporter to the heroic red and blue clad figure of silkworm manner. 139 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,000 Then leaving from the platform, they owned the human being numbers among his other 140 00:11:35,039 --> 00:11:37,799 amazing powers, the power of flight follows the gleaming railroad backs back through the 141 00:11:37,879 --> 00:11:48,639 station at Marston City. At the station, once more in his guise of 142 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,600 Clark, can't he steps up through the ticket window? Could you help me, 143 00:11:52,919 --> 00:11:54,639 sir? Ain't no more trains at me here at night? Mister, 144 00:11:54,759 --> 00:11:58,279 I'm not looking for a train. I like some information. What can I 145 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,600 do for you? The Golden Comets stopped here about ten minutes ago, didn't 146 00:12:01,639 --> 00:12:05,559 it? He pulled it at seven forty pulled out at seven forty four. 147 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,960 You didn't happen to see some people, an elderly man and the woman get 148 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:13,600 off the train. No, she had four or five pickups and connections from 149 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,840 the six fifty to the west, but nobody got off sept in the stretcher 150 00:12:16,919 --> 00:12:22,120 case, What one of them stretcher cases had an ambulance here to pick him 151 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,519 up? To him off the train through the windows. Say that again, 152 00:12:26,159 --> 00:12:28,360 you're hard of hearing, young pheno. I don't know. I just want 153 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,399 to make sure you say an ambulance was here at the station to pick up 154 00:12:31,399 --> 00:12:33,240 a sick man who was taken off the train through a window. Dead right. 155 00:12:33,799 --> 00:12:37,080 Didn't see him myself, Candor, I had to load the mail. 156 00:12:37,159 --> 00:12:41,799 Where the ambulants come from. We're only one private ambulance out sitting town Legans 157 00:12:41,279 --> 00:12:46,639 r E GA and dead right O the square off at the Marlborough Hotel. 158 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:56,960 Thanks, thanks a lot. I'm sorry, mister, but we don't give 159 00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:01,320 out of the information about patients were carrying our ambulances. That stops private and 160 00:13:01,399 --> 00:13:03,320 confidential, like it is with doctor. But don't you see, it's important 161 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,000 that I locate doctor Roebling. Who doctor Robling, the elderly man you met 162 00:13:07,039 --> 00:13:11,600 at the train. Oh that wasn't his name, mister, Oh what name 163 00:13:11,639 --> 00:13:15,600 did he use?

Who knows 173 00:13:46,799 --> 00:13:52,399 buzz of a woman with him? Look, mister canned, I I'm just 174 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,519 a guy who works for all.

And this is a situation which experts predict will continue 206 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,159 for at least the next seven years. What can we do about it? 207 00:16:41,559 --> 00:16:45,399 Well, here's the best way learn how you can work in your own community 208 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,960 to help you.

Was about to knock at the 219 00:17:51,559 --> 00:18:02,720 door when suddenly he blank, Great Scott bow boy, what do you want? 220 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:04,960 I have a telegram for you? Miss Oh? Just a minute? 221 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,960 Why claw? Yes? Is that all you got to say? In miss 222 00:18:11,039 --> 00:18:12,759 lane? Is that all I've got to say?

What 224 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,680 are you doing here in someone else's hotel room? Well, I might ask 225 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,799 you exactly the same questions. Why don't you come in? No? And 226 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,039 you'd better get out of that room before Missus Smith returns and catches you red 227 00:18:25,079 --> 00:18:27,640 handed. Oh so you know that Missus smiths too? Well? How cold 228 00:18:27,839 --> 00:18:30,480 isn't it? Why I'm through in here anyway? So we'll just close the 229 00:18:30,559 --> 00:18:34,880 door, walk up and return the key to the desk. How did you 230 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,599 get the key? Ask boy to the desk? Coming alois? Don't get 231 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,920 smart? Maybe if you didn't try to get so smart, things like this 232 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,319 wouldn't happen. And maybe if you hadn't rushed off like a madman without any 233 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,240 explanation whatsoever, you wouldn't have had to jump off a moving train. I 234 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:52,400 assume that's what you did and walk back to Marsden. Think how did you 235 00:18:52,519 --> 00:18:53,279 get back? And how did you get off the train? And why? 236 00:18:53,519 --> 00:18:57,200 I'll answer the last question.

When I reached 243 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,759 the hotel, I walked up to the desk, asked for the key to 244 00:19:26,839 --> 00:19:29,839 nine eleven and got it. Who took an awful chance? Well, nothing 245 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,519 ventured, nothing gained. What did you find in the room something that might 246 00:19:33,559 --> 00:19:36,720 be interesting? Oh? What? Missus Nith evidently got her call from Jack. 247 00:19:36,799 --> 00:19:38,240 Now she wrote an address down on a piece of paper but she was 248 00:19:38,319 --> 00:19:42,720 probably an awful hurry and forgot it.

When mister Roblin got 330 00:26:11,599 --> 00:26:15,319 the doctor into the compartment, she gave them what he thought was one of 331 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,240 his stomach pills. Well, it was obviously something else, because he remembers 332 00:26:18,279 --> 00:26:22,359 nothing at all until he woke up down to a chair in the Marsden City 333 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,079 rooming house. And miss Lane told you, I suppose how they got you 334 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:29,039 off the train and into an ambulance. Yes, it was all evidently carefully 335 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:33,880 planned. If not for you, mister Kent and Miss Lyne, twenty years 336 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,480 of work would have gone for nothing. Well, I don't know about mister 337 00:26:37,599 --> 00:26:41,599 Kent, doctor Roblin, but there's one reward that I'm going to ask for 338 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,079 which within my power, you should have it. I'd like to see your 339 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:49,279 voice machine, and I'd like to hear it, because well, thank me, 340 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:56,720 and he don't be hurried. I just don't believe that you can bring 341 00:26:56,799 --> 00:27:00,079 back the voices of the dead. Come are you sure? You? Oh? 342 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,200 Someone the dog? Will you excuse me? Please excuse me? You 343 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:08,680 do you do it kind, I will know in a few minutes. You 344 00:27:08,799 --> 00:27:14,599 got the bomb and you don't hold baby niece. Come on, what are 345 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:18,240 you joking? I'm stopping shop. Who yet Keven the beatement because the slash 346 00:27:18,319 --> 00:27:36,319 your voice machine? How I got the basement door behind the stews run and 347 00:27:36,519 --> 00:27:41,400 so I'm a player at you? What that dog? Oh, don't come 348 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:45,119 near me. But if you have this crowbar, do I thank you my 349 00:27:45,279 --> 00:27:52,720 defense, this machine. Drop that crowbar. I'll drop it on your head. 350 00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:00,359 Un I don't even going to kill you with my co a brieve man, 351 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:04,359 mister King was too late? Your voice machinist rule? Can it be 352 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:11,920 rebelled? I'm not in my lifetime. Oh, someone else left to carry 353 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:18,400 on? What a shame. The place of progress, miss lane is often 354 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:38,319 outrageously high and maddens average sometimes makes it tirer. I'll drop you off at 355 00:28:38,359 --> 00:28:42,000 your apartment. Loss always let me I had an exciting night, and let 356 00:28:42,119 --> 00:28:52,440 me out. And the pardoning one too puzzling, meaning what well when you 357 00:28:52,559 --> 00:28:56,960 ran down those tests of the day, Yes, I followed you, Clark, 358 00:28:56,039 --> 00:29:00,200 and I staid at the head of the test without the robling. Well 359 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,359 anyone could tell that as yet he was doing the stick, and yet you 360 00:29:03,559 --> 00:29:07,720 walk right toward him without any flinching, as though nothing could possibly happen to 361 00:29:07,839 --> 00:29:11,920 you. Not much good, Oh no, not much at all. That 362 00:29:11,039 --> 00:29:18,240 the splits go. And you know what, Well, I couldn't see your 363 00:29:18,319 --> 00:29:22,160 face, but from the back as he walked across that faceman, getting closer 364 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:27,359 and closer to that lunatic with a crowbar in his hand, well you look 365 00:29:27,519 --> 00:29:30,880 like Superman. I did. I know it's silly, and I know I 366 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,480 shouldn't be telling you it because it's just kind of give you a swelled Hey, 367 00:29:33,759 --> 00:29:37,559 not at all. I'm used to it by now. You're used to 368 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:41,400 what being mistaken for Superman? React if you promised to keep it quiet, 369 00:29:42,119 --> 00:29:48,799 I'll tell you a little secret. What come of my best friends can't tell 370 00:29:48,920 --> 00:30:03,319 us apart? I'm going the voices of the dead um the Adventures of Superman, 371 00:30:03,799 --> 00:30:06,519 which come to you now each week at the same time over many of 372 00:30:06,599 --> 00:30:12,359 these same ABC station Listen again next week to another explaining Superman adventure. Superman 373 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:17,599 is a copyright of Transcribe speak to appearing in Superman DC comic magazines, and 374 00:30:17,759 --> 00:30:22,160 brings you radio's most mapulous character in filling stories of actions, mystery and adventures, 375 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:26,759 So be sure to listen when you hear the familiar cry. Master than 376 00:30:26,799 --> 00:30:33,240 a speeding bullet, or powerful than a locomolia, able to lead whole buildings 377 00:30:33,279 --> 00:30:37,440 at a single bounds. Up on the sky, it's a bird, it's 378 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:44,240 a plane, it's Cooperman. The role Superman is played by Bud Colla. 379 00:30:44,279 --> 00:30:48,160 Lowe's lamed by Joe Alexander. Music is composed and played by John Guard. 380 00:30:48,319 --> 00:30:51,240 This is Jackson Beck reminding you to be sure to listen next week too, 381 00:30:51,440 --> 00:31:10,720 The Adventures of Superman the American Broadcasting Company Welcome Back. The end with the 382 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:15,559 Voice machine was, shall we say, a bit disappointing, and the plot 383 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:22,400 reason why the nephew comes back to destroy it and an insane fit of rage 384 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:30,759 is basically so that we don't actually have to deal with producing what this machine 385 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:36,319 promises. James Lawnson his review, praised the episode, but he said it 386 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:41,079 felt a bit rushed, and I think that that that's the case. This 387 00:31:41,279 --> 00:31:48,839 was originally a longer serialized story and done twice on the Superman radio program, 388 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:52,799 and I think the fact that you do just have it in a half hour 389 00:31:52,960 --> 00:32:00,039 format makes actually having some resolution or point to the machine more portant. If 390 00:32:00,079 --> 00:32:06,720 you're listening to the Void to the Doctor Roebling's voice Machine Cereal, then you 391 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:12,680 have all the adventure and the running about, and therefore it really just doesn't 392 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:17,960 matter what happens with the machine in this episode. You only have the half 393 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:23,359 an hour, so to have the machine just end up being senselessly destroyed, 394 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:30,240 that really does the tract from the story. Plus it the talk about scientific 395 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:36,119 progress seems a little bit silly in a lot of the fact that apparently he 396 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:42,119 didn't save any plans and that's why the machine can never be rebuilt. So 397 00:32:42,319 --> 00:32:45,440 this was not one of my favorite of these half hour stories. Now I 398 00:32:45,519 --> 00:32:51,079 do have something else to cover, and I wanted to be sure and watch 399 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:59,000 the second Superman Cereal with Kirk Allen Adam Man versus Superman, and I'll go 400 00:32:59,039 --> 00:33:05,960 ahead and share my thoughts on that it was at one point very similar to 401 00:33:06,279 --> 00:33:15,079 the previous Superman Cereal as well as the nineteen forty nine Batman Cereal, where 402 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:22,480 you have a villain with a secret headquarters and a bunch of henchmen in suit 403 00:33:22,559 --> 00:33:25,559 who go out to do their bidding as they come up with more and more 404 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:32,559 crazy plans. I wonder if every cereal was like this, because the only 405 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:39,880 ones I've actually seen are the Batman and the two Superman cereals, and they 406 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:44,200 had the same production team, so this may have just been a pet formula. 407 00:33:44,799 --> 00:33:51,160 But this one featured Luthor at this point, not going by Lex Luthor, 408 00:33:52,119 --> 00:33:57,640 just Luthor as the villain, with a Lile talbot playing the role. 409 00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:05,480 And it was something to say because they really went full bore science fiction. 410 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:15,000 Luthor's men had coins that they could they could be teleported in and out of 411 00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:22,280 trouble, and so they rarely ended up being caught. Now, unlike the 412 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:30,320 Spider Lady, Luthor did not seem to have one single plan. He just 413 00:34:30,519 --> 00:34:36,360 kind of drifted from plan to plan to plan. Like at the beginning he 414 00:34:36,679 --> 00:34:42,519 tried to extort one hundred million dollars from Metropolis, and then he went onto 415 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:49,960 transporting Superman's atoms into deep space. He'd get Superman to stand in this machine 416 00:34:50,039 --> 00:34:58,039 and it would separate his atoms throughout the universe, and Luthor does eventually succeed 417 00:34:58,159 --> 00:35:01,880 at this, but Superman Man is able to get back by even though he'd 418 00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:10,039 been invisible and insubstantial. He can control electric typewriters, so when Lois tries 419 00:35:10,119 --> 00:35:15,960 to use one, he takes possession of the electric typewriter to give her a 420 00:35:15,119 --> 00:35:22,119 note. And in fact Superman is standing there in this insubstantial form, and 421 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:28,880 Luthor, he doesn't seem to run out of devices. He's got earthquake machines 422 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:36,920 and rocket ships, and he launches a missile at Metropolis to destroy it, 423 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,679 and Superman at one point ends up riding on the back of the missile like 424 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:49,760 Slim Pickens in Doctor Strangelove. I'm not quite that excited. He's still smiling, 425 00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:54,119 Kirk Allan, Superman just smiles all the way through. And then we 426 00:35:54,280 --> 00:36:00,039 find out that when all else fails for Luthor, he's got a rocket ship 427 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:07,320 and he's got flying saucers, and he's got a plan to evacuate the Earth 428 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:15,840 and whip out at least the city of Metropolis, leading to the slightly overstated 429 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:22,800 final title Superman Saves the Universe. But Luthor is just a lot of fun 430 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:27,719 as a villain. He's just a perfect B movie villain. And then there's 431 00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:31,880 Lois and Jimmy watching this film. Based on what we see here, it's 432 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:39,280 a miracle that Lois and Jimmy survive to adulthood, not to mention living long 433 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:45,480 enough to actually meet Superman, who has to save them multiple times. In 434 00:36:45,639 --> 00:36:50,360 the radio program and TV shows, Lois and Jimmy get into trouble a lot. 435 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:58,159 In the serials, it's just absurd. One cliffhanger involves Jimmy getting his 436 00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:04,199 footstock on a railroad track as a train is approaching. And of course there 437 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:09,840 is some really absurd movie serial magic that comes in, like when the villains 438 00:37:10,159 --> 00:37:16,320 kidnap Jimmy and have him drive into the middle of a bombing range and just 439 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:24,480 at that time and a bomber happens to be offline over at. Jimmy mostly 440 00:37:24,559 --> 00:37:31,719 gets into trouble because of carelessness and clumsiness. Lois Lane is different. She 441 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:40,679 gets into trouble more for a lack of basic survival instincts. My favorite instance 442 00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:50,039 of that is when she is out working for a TV station covering flood and 443 00:37:50,599 --> 00:37:57,159 she thinks that the cameraman wanting to leave the side of the flood in response 444 00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:00,920 to the advice of the policeman is just being a whimp, and so she 445 00:38:01,119 --> 00:38:07,519 refuses to take down the camera until a flood comes and Superman has to save 446 00:38:07,599 --> 00:38:15,599 her and It's hilarious how many times these things happen. Probably my biggest disappointment 447 00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:20,199 with the Cereal is the fact that you don't really have the Atomman from the 448 00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:24,280 radio show in there, you know, the not the nuclear powered Nazi. 449 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:34,719 The Atomman is just Luthor wearing a ridiculous mask. And so there's a lot 450 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:39,199 of unintentional comedy in this. But I think it's really is good fun. 451 00:38:40,119 --> 00:38:45,719 They're on the serious side. I think they did actually have some really good, 452 00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:51,480 ambitious ideas for the science fiction element that kind of press the boundaries of 453 00:38:51,599 --> 00:38:58,440 what Superman was doing at that point. Consider the top of villains Superman was 454 00:38:58,519 --> 00:39:07,199 facing on the radio or even in the comics, most didn't challenge them at 455 00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:12,079 the level that Luthor does in this film. I found myself wishing a couple 456 00:39:12,119 --> 00:39:16,760 of times that they had just been able to produce this with some greater effects, 457 00:39:17,519 --> 00:39:22,199 but still even using your imagination. It's it's fun. It's by no 458 00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:27,239 means great cinema up but I enjoyed it all. Right. Well, that's 459 00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:31,199 it for now.
