be back with us riding the CBS air

18
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:59.840
trails again three weeks from tonight,
September twenty second. Get this and get

19
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:04.079
straight. Crime is a sucker's road, and those who travel it wind up

20
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:07.079
in the gut of the prison of
the grave. There's no other end,

21
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:12.800
but they never learn. From the
pen of Raymond Chandler, outstanding author of

22
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:30.400
crime fiction comes his most famous character
in the Adventures of Philip marlow Now with

23
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:35.960
Gerald Moore starred as Philip Marlowe,
we bring you tonight's transcribe story nether nether

24
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:50.919
Land. There are times when life
makes no sense at all, when confusion

25
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:53.759
is the keynote. Nor we do
is run and ever tightening circles. The

26
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:58.840
one and one is two. School
is closed and nothing comes out even the

27
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:01.520
thirty hours just asked. I wrapped
up a case in considerable of my youthful

28
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:07.159
zest. Along with it. I
was bone tired. When I reached my

29
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:10.280
apartment, sank deep into my bed. It wasn't so much to sleep,

30
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:21.000
but to die a little. And
I was not long dead. Oh okay,

31
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:31.400
slippers, Okay, one needs more
than fifteen minutes sleep. Yeah.

32
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:37.080
Yeah, I've got to see you. It's very important. Yeah, better

33
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:40.280
be. It's awfully late. I
know you're nice to let me in.

34
00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:46.080
Did I let you in? Yes? No, you're not still asleep,

35
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:49.960
are you? No? No,
I don't. I don't think so.

36
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:52.919
You see, I always sleep lying
down. It's a habit. You must

37
00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:55.759
know. I wouldn't bother you this
way, but went, Well, someone's

38
00:03:55.759 --> 00:04:01.120
following me. He's been following me
for I don't know how long. I'm

39
00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:03.639
so frightened. Oh come on,
come, how about a cup of coffee?

40
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:05.800
Huh? Oh really, mister mallow, I don't think you're listening to

41
00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:11.280
me. I can make it worth
your while. We should wake up.

42
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:13.879
Yeah, well that's what coffee is
for. Come on, come on,

43
00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:17.040
you can talk to me while I
make it. Ah, you were saying

44
00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:24.000
someone's following you a man, naturally? Who is it? I don't know.

45
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:27.959
Let's sit down over there at the
kitchen table. This won't take long,

46
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:33.839
thank you. Why would anybody be
following you? That's the silliest question

47
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:36.879
I've asked the day. But it
isn't silly. I've tried to figure it

48
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:42.240
out myself. I haven't done anything. I don't have anything. Yeah,

49
00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:45.560
well we'll let that go. Look, maybe I ought to know your name.

50
00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:48.079
Uh oh, I'm sorry. I'm
Caroline Shepherd. Don't be signed.

51
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:55.519
I'm glad you're Caroline Shepherd. Why
whoa? Because it beats the heck out

52
00:04:55.519 --> 00:05:00.079
of being George Shepherd. Eddy said
she thought you would help me. That's

53
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:05.000
why I came. My roommate DD
Reynolds. She doesn't know you or anything.

54
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:10.160
She just said that she would trouble
like I am. She get in

55
00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:14.079
touch with you. Yeah, well
that's nice. Does she know somebody's been

56
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:16.920
following you? No? No,
I haven't told anyone. I don't know

57
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:20.319
her very well. We haven't lived
together along. I don't know why.

58
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:25.879
I didn't want to frighten her too, so I just told her something that

59
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:30.920
sounded all right, and she said
she'd heard about you. Oh your what

60
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:36.360
is? Oh? Oh? Oh? Thanks? Does he ever call on

61
00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:41.519
you? No, we don't have
a phone. Landlady lives right next to

62
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:46.319
us the next apartment. Who use
her? But he never tries to call

63
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:48.319
me as far as I know.
Well, does he ever come to your

64
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:54.560
door approach you in any way?
Sometimes he gets buried. That is almost

65
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:58.279
before I know what. There he
is. Then I run and he's never

66
00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:03.839
caught up with me yet. He
could just be watching you then why I

67
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:08.680
don't know that. We can find
out. Did you see him tonight?

68
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:11.319
Yes, he was out in front
of the apartment house for a while.

69
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:15.319
I don't think he followed me over
here, but he may have. Can

70
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:26.800
you see the street from those windows? See anything? No? Oh,

71
00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:30.560
well, right now, honey,
you'll have a cup of coffee. I'll

72
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:33.519
take a quick shower and a shave, and then will there's a lot to

73
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:38.199
be here or anything. Just bang
on the bathroom door. You won't be

74
00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:47.040
long, No, shore it be
back before you know it. It's now

75
00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:51.600
two thirty in the morning. Although
I was still gray and half dead inside,

76
00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:57.079
my eyes found a new reason for
being wide open. Caroline Shepherd was

77
00:06:57.120 --> 00:07:01.600
not just an attractive girl. She
was slightly sensational. Statuesque would be the

78
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:08.639
turn. She was almost shoulder height, with ash blond long hair that smoky

79
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:14.240
blue eyes were half wild with fear
and searching or what promises it? And

80
00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:19.199
the figure was the kind that you
didn't mention in polite society. How's a

81
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:26.439
coffee coming, Carolin. Carolin,
Hey, where'd you go? Oh?

82
00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:30.000
Come on, a coffee. Couldn't
be that bad, Carolin. The craziest

83
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:34.959
thing I ever heard of. I
go was locked though. It's funny.

84
00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:45.199
She's gone, Carolin. Oh hi, Simon, lose something statam something named

85
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:47.800
Carl. Yeah, it looks like
you didn't see her out in the hole

86
00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:50.519
by any chance. I don't believe
I did, miss guy, I've noticed

87
00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:58.800
it. I'm not so sure you
Oh yeah, I'm sure. Yeah,

88
00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:03.639
wait you go. I thought she
might still be down on the street.

89
00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:09.959
Caroline, you said that. What
did you do? You never believed?

90
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:24.000
Oh come on, I took a
shower. Oh yeah. Simon was listening

91
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:26.680
badly but enjoying a good laugh.
When I left him. Back inside the

92
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:31.160
apartment, I reached for a cigarette
and a few conclusions. Her name was

93
00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:33.399
Caroline Shepherd. Someone was following as
she'd been here, and she was gone.

94
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:37.960
That's all I knew. I looked
at the clock a quarter to three.

95
00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:39.919
I remember the coffee i'd made,
started to the kitchen to get a

96
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:45.159
cup with my what and' I caught
something at the same time. It was

97
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:48.240
a billfold the driver's license, said
Caroline Shepherd, and it gave a yucka

98
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:54.759
address apartment three. Physical description didn't
do a justice, but it heightened my

99
00:08:54.840 --> 00:09:03.679
memory, and I was there in
no time. Yes, yes, spot

100
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:07.519
is he. I'm looking for Carolin
Shepherd. Oh you were well, she

101
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:09.200
isn't here. I don't know her, but i'd like to meet that young

102
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:13.720
woman sometime. It's a pleasure to
believe me. I look, I'm sorry,

103
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:16.080
a sorry, dween the freeway by
day and the traffic at this door

104
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:20.039
by night on account of Carolin Shepherd. Body can't get any restless sleep.

105
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:24.240
I'm really sorry. I know it's
late. See I can't imagine what kind

106
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:26.080
of a person she is that men
can knock on her door or any door

107
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:28.399
they think it's hers, at all
hours. I'm not going to stand by.

108
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:31.720
I'm going to move, and someday
I'll meet this young Shepherd person and

109
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:35.840
I'll I'll give her a good trashing. You do that, but just tell

110
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:37.360
me one thing. I'll tell you
nothing. How long have you lived here?

111
00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:43.000
Six weeks? Six of the most
miserable weeks in my life? Thanks

112
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:50.000
very much, My goodness. What's
going on out here? Oh? I

113
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:52.679
guess I have the wrong address.
I didn't mean to wake everybody up.

114
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:56.600
Well, you didn't wake me up, just mister Norton, I guess,

115
00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:01.879
I hope. Well, I guess
it's insomnia. I just practically never sleep

116
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:03.759
night. You want to get together
with mister Norton, he tells me,

117
00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:07.600
has the same kind of trouble.
He isn't a very pleasant old gentleman,

118
00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:11.159
is he. No? Oh my, I guess I should introduce myself.

119
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:13.559
I'm Hester Hutchison. I'm the manager
of the building. Oh, well,

120
00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:16.720
maybe you can help me. Then. I'm trying to locate Carolin Shephard.

121
00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:20.000
This is the only address I've got
for it. Oh, I'm sorry,

122
00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:24.039
You're sorry. Carolin did live here, but she moved about six weeks ago,

123
00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:28.600
and for some reason, or rather
I never understood, really, she

124
00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:31.960
didn't want to leave any forward in
a day. I see. Well,

125
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:35.279
oh not at all, not at
all. Hope I didn't disturb you.

126
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:39.000
Oh my goodness. No, As
I said, I I'm sorry, given

127
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:43.159
to this insomnia, whatever it is. I well, as a matter of

128
00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:48.960
fact, I just begged the coffeecake. Sounds silly, I know, but

129
00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:52.679
I guess some of my best ideas
at night and tonight it was coffeecake.

130
00:10:52.759 --> 00:11:00.240
Coffeecake if you here for some i'd
be well, you'd just be more then.

131
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:03.919
Welcoh, that's nice to see.
I guess some of my best ideas

132
00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:07.240
at night too, And I got
one right now about going home to bed.

133
00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:16.240
I could sleep. I knew I
could. I could have been sleeping

134
00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:20.919
at least an hour if Carol and
Shepherd hadn't decided to come into my life

135
00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:24.399
and go out again. Well,
I didn't know what else to look for

136
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:28.840
us, so I decided to give
my little trundle bet another world. I'd

137
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:39.879
gotten about ten out of the usual
forty winks. Oh no, yeah,

138
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:45.320
mister Marlow, I think so.
I'm D. D Reynolds. Mister Marlow,

139
00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:48.240
well that's swell. I guess she
isn't. But it's Carol and Shepherd's

140
00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:52.200
still there. No, no,
she is. Whould you say this one?

141
00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:56.679
I'm her roommate, D. D
Reynolds. She hasn't come home,

142
00:11:56.720 --> 00:12:00.960
mister Marlow. I'm so worried.
I came next door. Oh has she

143
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:03.759
been gone long? Yes, yes
she has now, look deed, I

144
00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:09.279
was afraid of that. Wait a
minute, Wait a minute, what's happened?

145
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:13.440
Well, I just know she's been
killed. Easy, easy, listen

146
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:18.279
to me, We're INDI listen,
deed, where do you live? Did

147
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:41.679
oh? Fine? In just a
moment, we'll return to the second act

148
00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:46.200
of Philip marlow But first, James
Fascett brings you the second part of his

149
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:50.799
two programmed series of Holland Music Festival
selections, along with a few colorful words

150
00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:54.600
about the music, customs and people
of Holland as he observed them. That's

151
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:58.360
on your Invitation to music Tomorrow afternoon
on most of these same CBS radio stations.

152
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:03.480
Listen to tomorrow for your string serenade
featuring Jerry Windsor with his singing strings

153
00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:11.480
in music All America Loves Now with
our star Gerald Moore, the second act

154
00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:28.960
of Philip Marlowe and Tonight's story Nether
nether Land. I was wide awake again

155
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:33.159
and furious, because somewhere in Los
Angeles there was another telephone recently put on

156
00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:35.000
its cradle. I didn't know where
it was or how to make it ring.

157
00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:39.639
Somewhere in Los Angeles too, or
a couple of near hysterical females,

158
00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:43.240
neither of whom had any regard my
sleeping habits. DEDI had jumped to a

159
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:48.000
conclusion about Carolyn that I wasn't buying, probably because I didn't want to.

160
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:50.799
Well, I was beginning to turn
gray outside, and the jarring thump of

161
00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:58.159
the paper grazing my door told me
a new dawn was with us. You're

162
00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:03.440
looking with that morning, Simon.
You're still bouncing off walls. I am

163
00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:07.120
confronted. It was something of a
problem. Malo. Mind someone in the

164
00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:11.519
night, mind, you has moved
my apartments. No, yes, I've

165
00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:16.120
looked all over the neighborhood and it
is gone. Yeah, well you just

166
00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:18.440
hang on, it'll be back.
Oh, it has to be. It

167
00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:22.120
just has to come home to Oh
did you ever find her, Mala?

168
00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:26.799
Her? No, I never did. Yeah, you were taking me shower.

169
00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:31.639
Yeah, Mila, you doe fine. You like coffeecake, Simon,

170
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:33.960
Oh, my dear Mala. I
not only like it, I respect it.

171
00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:37.200
And I'd be proud of joining someone. I'd just be proud. No,

172
00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:39.679
no, no, not me,
Simon. About three blocks from here

173
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:43.679
over on yucka ask for hester.
I thank you, Mala, from my

174
00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:52.120
heart of hearts. I thank you, Alan. Farewell, Simon. Well,

175
00:14:52.600 --> 00:15:03.559
let's see what's in the taper in
the national situation co inflation, holy

176
00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:09.919
smoke. Police late last night found
an unidentified woman beaten and unconscious in the

177
00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:13.679
Beechwood area in the Hollywood Hills.
A young woman, tall and blonde was

178
00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:18.320
taken immediately to the police receiving hospital
in Hollywood, where her condition is reported

179
00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:33.399
as serious. She appress a description
of that Shepherd girl's driver's license. All

180
00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:35.919
right, this tomorrow. She's pretty
banged up. The hall might beat up

181
00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:39.720
to identifier. Yeah, what time
do they find it? About three o'clock

182
00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:43.759
this morning. I think we were
figuring robberies, since her wallet and most

183
00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:46.519
of the stuff in her purse is
missing. Oh, oh, here we

184
00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:54.320
are. She's still out here.
Are you doped up? I guess,

185
00:15:54.519 --> 00:16:02.799
yeah, she wanted now now she
isn't, Are you sure? Yeah,

186
00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:06.039
hair is too blond. Well maybe
she's had a quick dye job since you

187
00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:08.039
saw her last time. Very funny. Well, we'd like to wrap this

188
00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:11.720
thing up, you know, if
you could identify her, we'd be part

189
00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:14.720
of all the woods. I'd like
to help you out. But she's not

190
00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:18.679
Carolyn Shepard. How about it where
she lived? There's one this one.

191
00:16:19.240 --> 00:16:26.480
Yeah, I hasn't got a chance, you get that way, I guess.

192
00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:32.919
Watching the inhuman parade of human stretcher
cases into a police hospital. I

193
00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:37.360
wouldn't never his job. The sunlight
was fresh and warm outside. The coffee

194
00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:41.720
I got at the three stool joint
next to or was neither. But now

195
00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:44.480
you're sleeping. Now you're not routine
of the night before. I hadn't exactly

196
00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:48.039
made me raise her shop, But
by now I was alert enough to study

197
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:51.679
Caroline's wallet a little more intently.
I was twelve bucks in it, and

198
00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:53.639
stashed in with the bills a book
of check stubs on a Hollywood bank.

199
00:16:55.799 --> 00:16:59.360
Don't let anyone teddy that banks don't
open till ten o'clock. If you make

200
00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:02.759
like breaking down a glass door,
they'll let you in, And if you've

201
00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:04.319
caused them that much trouble, they'll
give you the address you ask for and

202
00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:08.079
send you on your way in a
hurry. I felt better about this address

203
00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:15.440
for Carolin Dedi Reynolds was listed on
the card in the mailbox too. Yes,

204
00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:18.839
you must be D. D.
And I must be Philip Marlowe.

205
00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:23.039
Oh yes, mister marlow come in. Thanks I am. I'm just supposing

206
00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:26.000
that Caroline made it home all right. You seem to have a better grip

207
00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:29.680
on things than you did a few
hours ago. Oh, I have I

208
00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:33.480
don't usually go to pieces that way, but I was terrified, really terrified.

209
00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:37.480
She came home shortly after I called
you sleeping now? No, no,

210
00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:40.759
As a matter of fact, she
just stepped next door to use missus

211
00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:44.720
Lionsberg's phone. She'll be right back, I know. Sit down. Oh

212
00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:48.640
thanks, so will? I had
three chairs in my house, one for

213
00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:53.559
solitude, two for friendship, three
for society. So which one am I

214
00:17:53.599 --> 00:17:56.599
sitting on? Now? Oh?
You don't know the quote? It's thorough?

215
00:17:57.079 --> 00:18:02.240
Oh well, I'm impressed. Shouldn't
flaunt my knowledge that way. It's

216
00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:06.759
just that I've been nervous lately.
I always read thorough when I'm nervous.

217
00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:08.599
Well, aside from thorough, how
much do you know about Carolyn? Not

218
00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:14.559
very much. She doesn't let anyone
know very much. I know she's worried.

219
00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:18.000
She watches at the window, and
she jumps when there's a knock at

220
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:22.680
the door. She adds like someone's
after her all the time. I told

221
00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:26.400
her to see you. That's nice. Society is commonly too cheap. We

222
00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:32.599
meet it very short intervals, not
having had time to acquire any new value

223
00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:36.519
for each other. You quote a
good deal, don't you thorow reaches me.

224
00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:41.720
How about Frank Glaslow Frank Laslow?
Yeah, no, no, I

225
00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:45.079
don't think so. Is he a
well known writer? I wouldn't know.

226
00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:48.359
I thought Carolyn might have mentioned him. No, not that I know.

227
00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:52.680
Of course, we keep pretty much
to ourselves. Which one of you smokes?

228
00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:57.839
The guys? What in the ashtray
on that table land? What for?

229
00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:03.359
Heaven's say? I never even noticed
it, that's all. Of course.

230
00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:07.240
I was gone earlier last evening.
It went to the library. Maybe

231
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:12.119
someone was here to see Kara.
Yeah, that could be. Hello,

232
00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:17.039
mister Marlow. I'm so glad to
see you, are you? You don't

233
00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:22.240
know how gladded I promised? Missus
Lansburg got water the lawn for an act.

234
00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:26.640
Anyway, It's the nearest thing I
can get to Thorough's life in the

235
00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:30.839
woods. I love a broad margin
to my lawn. The swiftest traveler is

236
00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:37.519
he that goes afoot? Mister Marlow? You do see you later? Dey

237
00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:42.119
pleasure, A real pleasure. She's
an amazing girl, isn't she? So?

238
00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:45.400
Are you? You did a great
disappearing act last night? I know

239
00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:49.519
I felt so strange there. I
knew he was around somewhere, and then

240
00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:52.720
I saw him down the street in
front of your apartment. I had to

241
00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:56.920
run. I went out the back
down the fire's gate. But she didn't

242
00:19:56.920 --> 00:19:59.960
come home for quite a while.
There's an old night diner over on Franklin.

243
00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:04.240
I stayed there a long time.
I was so frightened. I still

244
00:20:04.279 --> 00:20:08.440
am. It's got to stop.
Mister Marlow, whoever he is, he

245
00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:14.079
has to leave me alone. Who's
Frank Laslow? Carolin? Why do you

246
00:20:14.119 --> 00:20:18.599
ask? I looked through the check
steps in your wallet. You made weekly

247
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:22.559
payments of fifty dollars to Frank Laslow
for several months up until two weeks ago.

248
00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:29.160
Well, he's just a family friend, mister Marlow. I he loaned

249
00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:32.759
me some money and I've been paying
him back. Yeah, but fifty bucks

250
00:20:32.759 --> 00:20:34.599
a week is pretty much and pretty
often. Well, I wanted to clear

251
00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:38.799
up the debt as soon as I
could. I thought you had no family.

252
00:20:40.440 --> 00:20:44.839
I haven't. But we've known mister
Laslow for years. You see,

253
00:20:44.839 --> 00:20:48.359
I inherited a small amount when my
father died just last year. It was

254
00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:52.799
tied up for a while. Mister
Laslow just helped me over the breach,

255
00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:56.039
that's all. Does he live in
town? No, No he doesn't.

256
00:20:57.440 --> 00:21:03.640
If you're thinking he has anything to
do like trouble. Mister Marlin, You're

257
00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:07.960
very wrong. I wouldn't want him
to know about it at all, you

258
00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:11.960
know, Carolin, you never described
this guy has been following you. You

259
00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:14.519
know, I wouldn't even know what
kind of a fellow to look for.

260
00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:18.039
Well, he's short for a man, not quite as tall as irons,

261
00:21:18.640 --> 00:21:22.839
and he's muscular looking. I think
he's dark too, although he usually wears

262
00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:26.880
a hat and a gray suit because
he smokes. Ci guys, I've never

263
00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:30.079
noticed that he does. No,
you don't work anywhere, doing you?

264
00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:33.519
How can I hold a job in
the state I'm in? Oh? No,

265
00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:38.880
I just broke white? What is
it? I knew he's out there,

266
00:21:38.920 --> 00:21:41.400
mister where. I just got in
that car, the big convertible.

267
00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:53.799
Okay, honey, come on,
let's go. He must know we're following

268
00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:56.319
him. The way he's driving,
you can lose us with that job too.

269
00:21:56.359 --> 00:21:59.920
Those babies can really take off.
He's moving over to the right lane.

270
00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:02.279
I'm gonna turn. We're going with
him. Hang on, honey,

271
00:22:02.480 --> 00:22:11.279
cat losing We can't wait, won't
He's pulling into that parking lot. Well,

272
00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:15.400
it's hot. Part of chase him, we did, Yeah, we

273
00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:19.519
did get out of that car.
It was just about you know, you

274
00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:22.400
really shouldn't try to keep up with
a car like mine. I was just

275
00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:26.079
telling me through that time, if
you want to make a real race of

276
00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:27.599
it. Wait a minute, how
tall are you? Oh? I'm quite

277
00:22:27.599 --> 00:22:32.440
tall, really, six feet seven, my stocking feet. I'll toll a

278
00:22:32.519 --> 00:22:37.279
you. It doesn't matter. Well, I watched the matter. You should

279
00:22:37.279 --> 00:22:40.759
be all right. She's just a
little disappointed. No, no, no,

280
00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:42.400
you mustn't take it from seriously.
The young lady. You'll companion him

281
00:22:42.400 --> 00:22:45.079
made a good race of it,
considering he was up against greet. Oh

282
00:22:45.160 --> 00:23:00.680
yeah, thanks, thanks, mister
pious. Yeah, well thanks. I

283
00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:04.000
don't know how it could have made. But he did look like it,

284
00:23:04.079 --> 00:23:07.400
mister. Until he stood up,
I really thought, all right, honey,

285
00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:14.640
forget it. You're pretty tired and
upset. You're almost hold you'll come.

286
00:23:14.759 --> 00:23:21.119
Don't worry. I'll stick around.
Nobody will boding must I'm so tired

287
00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:26.960
money. We can't strike out all
the time. Hey, it looks like

288
00:23:27.039 --> 00:23:30.839
dad. He's made a friend watering
me yet. Oh no, miss them

289
00:23:32.119 --> 00:23:33.880
this time. I'm sure it's him. I know it is cigar and all.

290
00:23:34.039 --> 00:23:37.400
Huh. Okay, baby, we'll
see. Come on, no,

00:23:37.400 --> 00:23:41.599

platform? Sure? Sure, who's

293
00:23:48.119 --> 00:23:51.480
the guy with the cigar? Well, he didn't say he asked for Carol.

294
00:23:51.640 --> 00:23:53.640
Okay, Hey, hey, you
hold on. I don't think so,

295
00:23:53.759 --> 00:23:56.759

296
00:23:56.799 --> 00:24:00.599
your throat. You look so tough. That's how I fall. Friends.

297
00:24:06.640 --> 00:24:08.000
Are you hurting? No, go
back to Carolin. Get her on the

298
00:24:08.119 --> 00:24:11.599
topic. She's in missus lions,
Bruce. She's not making much sense either.

299
00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:17.440
Just oh, he's really out.
Yeah, and I love take a

300
00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:25.680
look in here as at a registration. Read it to me something Barto California?

301
00:24:25.839 --> 00:24:27.640
I thought, so did you?
Never mind? Go back with Carolyn

302
00:24:27.680 --> 00:24:30.640
now and stay with her, she
says, anything. Memorize it like you

303
00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:41.440
do with Thoro where I hope he
belongs. I'll be right back. Hey,

304
00:24:41.559 --> 00:24:45.720
you keep dropping in. We'll be
old friends, mister Morrow. Never

305
00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:49.480
mind that what shapes he in look
like a mind a concussion. You'll be

306
00:24:49.519 --> 00:24:53.480
around a little while. Hit him
a very dear friend of mine. Look

307
00:24:53.559 --> 00:24:56.519
keep him here, will you?
And keep an eye on him I'll be

308
00:24:56.519 --> 00:25:00.000
back, maybe with another customer for
you, right, and you can say

309
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:00.839
of us both some time. If
you get one of the boys at the

310
00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:04.400
station to call Boston find out anything
they can about Frank Laslow and a girl

311
00:25:04.480 --> 00:25:07.559
named Carolyn Shephard, you can reach
me at the lands Break phone number I

312
00:25:07.599 --> 00:25:18.759
looked up on Cherokee. Oh,
mister Marlin, Gee, I'm glad you're

313
00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:25.240
back. Come in and listen to
her. I'm scared of death. Remember

314
00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:33.319
male, check the barstow almost remember
check. I have to forget you,

315
00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:40.119
forget. Remember it's been going on
like that. I don't know for sure

316
00:25:40.200 --> 00:25:47.160
yet. Steve can be everywhere if
youwhere on Look, you can't be anywhere.

317
00:25:48.079 --> 00:25:51.519
You're dead, don't you know?
Your dead? Like its Carol and

318
00:25:51.640 --> 00:25:57.039
easy? I told her i'd answer
it while she was at go ahead for

319
00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:07.519
Caroline. Carolin, you're okay?
Who are you? Steve? It can't

320
00:26:07.559 --> 00:26:10.599
be you, Steve. You're dead. I'm not Steve, Caroline, Steve,

321
00:26:10.880 --> 00:26:12.839
Steve, you're dead. Don't you
remember, Steve? I killed you.

322
00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:18.160
But you won't go away. You
won't go away tomorrow. It's the

323
00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:29.440
police, she said, what's wrong
with this? Tomorrow she she'ld be okay,

324
00:26:32.039 --> 00:26:38.000
yeah, so let missus Landsberg's door
open. Oh oh sure, living

325
00:26:38.279 --> 00:26:52.359
thanks, yeah, thats rule.
Really that dame you mentioned Shepherd, she's

326
00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:57.839
wanted from murder. Would she killed
her husband, Stephen Shepherd last March?

327
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:03.920
What about Laslow? Well, they're
not sure off there. He was questioned

328
00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:07.359
at the time, but they couldn't
get anything on him. The dame apparently

329
00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:14.000
just vanished too. Now last time
they had Laslow in questioned a couple of

330
00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:18.960
weeks back. He must have a
real bad memory. Huh are you bringing

331
00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:22.359
the dame in? Yeah, I'll
bring her in. She a'll beat up

332
00:27:22.359 --> 00:27:27.759
too. I can send the wagon. No, I'll bring her. Just

333
00:27:29.440 --> 00:27:41.519
keep a strait jacket handy. Like
I said, there are times when confusion

334
00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:48.319
of the keynote. Caroline Shepherd,
who was sick cut, kept seeing the

335
00:27:48.359 --> 00:27:52.759
man she murdered, saw him so
often she believed it. Frank Laslow must

336
00:27:52.799 --> 00:27:56.920
have seen things too, enough to
keep Carolin paying him blackmail ever since she

337
00:27:57.000 --> 00:28:02.440
killed her husband. Did you ever
stop to think of all the so called

338
00:28:02.599 --> 00:28:07.640
nice, clean upstanding citizens will carry
a moral cesspool behind shining eyes and a

339
00:28:07.680 --> 00:28:17.880
sweet smile. Suddenly they make headlines
by Caroline. What's the line a murder.

340
00:28:17.880 --> 00:28:44.039
Though it hath no tongue, We'll
speak with most miraculous orb. The

341
00:28:44.119 --> 00:28:48.079
Adventures of Philip Marlowe, bringing you
Raymond Chandler's most famous character, starring Gerald

342
00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:52.640
Moore, was produced and transcribed tonight
by Cliffhowel and written for radio by Kathleen

343
00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:56.680
Hight. Featured in the cast Whirlreene, Tuttle, Fernah Felton, Shirley Mitchell,

344
00:28:56.759 --> 00:29:02.160

Syde Kendall. Gerald Moore may currently

345
00:29:02.160 --> 00:29:07.559
be seen in the Santana production Sirocco. The special music for Philip Marlowe is

346
00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:17.279
composed by Pierre Garagang and conducted by
Wilbur Hatch. Be sure to listen next

347
00:29:17.319 --> 00:29:21.359
week at the same time when Philip
Marlowe says, this time my plans for

348
00:29:21.400 --> 00:29:23.799
a fishing trip got caught in the
line of a beautiful girl who didn't know

349
00:29:23.920 --> 00:29:29.039
upstream from downstream. I was in
deep water for a while, but I

350
00:29:29.160 --> 00:29:45.640
finally caught my limit by using a
special kind of bait. There's a song

351
00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:49.000
that goes with its story. Friends, the story is starting tomorrow. Weevening

352
00:29:49.079 --> 00:29:52.680
you'll be able to laugh again at
the adorable antics of America's favorite teenager,

353
00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:57.559
Chorless Archer. Her boyfriend Dexter returned
from vacation too, so does her whole

354
00:29:57.559 --> 00:30:02.599
family, all of which it's more
Sunday night fun for your whole family when

355
00:30:02.599 --> 00:30:07.640
you meet Chorless Archers. Sunday nights
on most of these same CBS radio stations.

356
00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:11.240
He said a song when with a
story didn't well. Here it is

357
00:30:11.559 --> 00:30:19.039
CBS. B are the best,
Yes, yes, Yes, the stars

358
00:30:19.079 --> 00:30:32.079
at dress is CBS. This is
Clarence Casselle saying, remember for the sweetest

359
00:30:32.160 --> 00:30:36.640
music this side of Heaven. It's
Guy Lombardo time Sunday evenings on the CBS

360
00:30:36.880 --> 00:30:55.720
Radio Network. This is Andrew J. Graham, author of the web surface

361
00:30:55.720 --> 00:30:59.839
series Oh and a Mana's Wife.
You're listening to the Great Detectives of the

362
00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:11.319
Time Radio. Welcome back. Well, a interesting plot, certainly good hook.

363
00:31:11.799 --> 00:31:18.359
It kind of reminded me more of
an episode of Not Beat as opposed

364
00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:22.279
to a lot of the episodes we
heard during the main run of Philip Marlow

365
00:31:22.359 --> 00:31:27.519
from nineteen forty eight to fifty and
I thought that way about a couple of

366
00:31:27.880 --> 00:31:33.000
different episodes in this run. Not
to say that's necessarily a bad thing just

367
00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:37.880
a little bit different, and of
course a good performance overall for Lorine Tuttle.

368
00:31:38.519 --> 00:31:44.200
All right, well, listener comments
and feedback, and a very nice

369
00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:49.640
