Speaker 1: Suspense, which is usually heard at this hour on Thursday Nights,
Speaker 1: is taking its customary summer holiday. Suspense returns to the
Speaker 1: air next week on Thursday September.
Speaker 2: First, you are groping through the midnight darkness of a
Speaker 2: gigantic department store. One hundred eyes are staring at you,
Speaker 2: one hundred hands are reaching for you, and your most
Speaker 2: urgent desire is to escape.
Speaker 1: We offer you Escape, designed to free you from the
Speaker 1: four walls of today, for a half hour of high adventure. Tonight,
Speaker 1: we escape to a fantastic world of night dwellers, as
Speaker 1: John Collier imagines it in his Eerie story Evening, Primrose.
Speaker 3: M Sadie Saidie, what's the matter?
Speaker 4: It's me.
Speaker 5: You nearly scared me to death.
Speaker 6: What do you mean coming in so quiet?
Speaker 7: I don't mean a sca. I thought you'd be asleep.
Speaker 7: I didn't want to wake you.
Speaker 6: Sam. I'm glad you're home.
Speaker 3: What's the matter.
Speaker 5: Oh, it's terrible.
Speaker 8: You gotta do something, Sam, what's terrible?
Speaker 6: It's this? Just look at this.
Speaker 7: It's terrible about that looks like an ordinary pair of
Speaker 7: paper to me.
Speaker 6: That's just it. That's what I thought too. But it's
Speaker 6: got writing in it. It's awful.
Speaker 7: Now wait a minute, maybe you better tell me what
Speaker 7: this is all about.
Speaker 9: Well, today I went shopping at Bracey's department story. I
Speaker 9: needed some writing paper, so I picked this up. It
Speaker 9: was on top of the pile and I bought it
Speaker 9: and I brought it home so but tonight when I
Speaker 9: opened it, I found it's got writing in it.
Speaker 7: What's nothing so terrible? Just take it back tomorrow and
Speaker 7: make them give you a no one.
Speaker 6: No, you don't understand. It's what's written in it that's
Speaker 6: so terrible.
Speaker 10: What do you mean what's written in it?
Speaker 6: Here? You gotta read it, sa, No, right now? No,
Speaker 6: read it?
Speaker 10: Look sadie. I'm tired. I've been bowling all evening.
Speaker 6: Please Sam, please just read it all right?
Speaker 10: Half a Pete's sake.
Speaker 7: Dam October nineteenth.
Speaker 10: Today I made my decision.
Speaker 7: I decided to say goodbye to the world, to get out, leave,
Speaker 7: break away, and.
Speaker 4: I have I say this.
Speaker 7: I am and now I am free, really free, Yes,
Speaker 7: I am free at last.
Speaker 4: The world is an intolerable place for a poet. I
Speaker 4: was broke, starving at my wits end, and then I
Speaker 4: had the brilliant idea I'd escaped to a place where
Speaker 4: I had no need to earn a living, where I
Speaker 4: could write to my heart's content in peace and security,
Speaker 4: and where everything was free. And where is this place
Speaker 4: right under your nose, so close you never think of it.
Speaker 4: I am now living in Brace's department store. I arrived
Speaker 4: this afternoon. I had spent three days looking over all
Speaker 4: of the department stores in town. I decided on Brace's
Speaker 4: because of the completeness of their food department. Therefore, this
Speaker 4: afternoon I entered the store and went immediately to the
Speaker 4: fourth floor to the rugged department, and hid myself in
Speaker 4: this dusty out of the way corner behind a pile
Speaker 4: of carpets. After the store closed, I took toad as
Speaker 4: far as the station recounter and got this paper, the
Speaker 4: writer's primary need. Now, after making my first entry, I'll
Speaker 4: stroll around the store and get food, wine, the pillows
Speaker 4: for my bed, perhaps a fancy dressing guy. Oh this
Speaker 4: is perfect. Here I'll be able to write Dawn, October fourteen.
Speaker 4: I am almost too unnerved to write this. The whole
Speaker 4: thing is unbelievable. After the store was dark and completely quiet,
Speaker 4: I crept hard and started for the food department. One
Speaker 4: steps echo hollowly in an empty department store at night,
Speaker 4: and I found myself gliding along the floor on tiptoe,
Speaker 4: moving as silently as possible. But the sound of footsteps persisted,
Speaker 4: and suddenly I realized they were not my own, the
Speaker 4: night watchman. I was in the salon my day, and
Speaker 4: quickly I seized a make coat from my hangar, raped
Speaker 4: it about my shoulders, and stood stock still. I could
Speaker 4: have reached out and touched him, but he passed without
Speaker 4: so much as a glance. I started the smile, but
Speaker 4: the smile frozen lips. I was looking straight into a
Speaker 4: pair of eyes, large, flat, luminous in human.
Speaker 10: Eyes a dozen feet away.
Speaker 4: They belonged to a creature dressed as a man, but
Speaker 4: he was as pale as something found underneath the stone.
Speaker 4: His hands, hanging motionless at his sides, looked more likely
Speaker 4: fins on a fish than human hands.
Speaker 8: Not bad, huh for a beginner.
Speaker 4: Oh I am, I'm sorry. I didn't know anybody else there.
Speaker 4: I lived here.
Speaker 11: Oh, yes, we live here. It's still life, we yes,
Speaker 11: all of us, don't you see? Look around you?
Speaker 4: I looked around and saw on nothing. I looked again
Speaker 4: and saw an old one come clambering out from behind
Speaker 4: a clock. There were three elderly angelos, incredibly emaciated, pale
Speaker 4: is lace, almost transparent, simpering before a perfume cornor hey
Speaker 4: chintzy ladies swam out from the curtains and drapes. And
Speaker 4: they they came, swarming thick around me, pale, thin, wispy, moving,
Speaker 4: silent and fluttering like gauze in the wind, whispering.
Speaker 12: A detective sin for the dark man.
Speaker 4: They were pressing around me, clawing and holding me, their
Speaker 4: pale faces contorted with venomous in human hatred eye. I
Speaker 4: was paralyzed. All I could do was repeat over and
Speaker 4: over again. I'm not a detective. I'm not I'm not
Speaker 4: a detective or a burglar. I'm a poet.
Speaker 8: Then what are you doing here?
Speaker 4: I've pronounced the world. I came here to live where
Speaker 4: I could be a helone away from the world.
Speaker 12: Why then he's come over to us.
Speaker 13: He's just like us. He must meet missus.
Speaker 4: Dunder miss I followed their eyes toward the balcony, and
Speaker 4: the hair on my neck rose again. There, coming down
Speaker 4: the wall like an ancient spider, clambered an old lady
Speaker 4: wrinkled and cracked and emaciated. She must have been at
Speaker 4: least eighty shadowy matriarch, and the things around me bowed
Speaker 4: and scraped as she reached the floor and floated towards us.
Speaker 13: That's going on here? Where is that stupid girl?
Speaker 8: What's keeping her?
Speaker 10: Oh?
Speaker 8: Missus vander Well, what is it?
Speaker 6: Who's this?
Speaker 11: Mister Rosco, Missus vander Pant, May I present mister ah Snell.
Speaker 4: H Charles Snell.
Speaker 11: Yes, Missus Snell is a poet. He has come here
Speaker 11: to live.
Speaker 6: Oh he has health.
Speaker 11: He that's what he says, and I believe him. Well
Speaker 11: he avoided the night watchman quite neatly for a beginning.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 13: Very well.
Speaker 6: We shall see.
Speaker 13: A poet should find inspiration.
Speaker 11: Here, mister Snell. Missus vander Pant is our grand old lady.
Speaker 14: I am quite the oldest in Heppy didn't here, mister Snell.
Speaker 14: Three mergers and a complete rebuilding, but they didn't get
Speaker 14: rid of me.
Speaker 6: Where is Ella? Where is my broth?
Speaker 8: She is bringing it, Missus Vanderpant.
Speaker 6: It will come, terrible little creature.
Speaker 14: She's our foundling, mister Snell. She's not quite our sort, sir.
Speaker 13: I have been here, mister Snell, ever since the terrible
Speaker 13: times of the eighties.
Speaker 14: I was a younger then a beauty, they said, and
Speaker 14: poor Papa lost his money. Bracis meant a lot to
Speaker 14: a younger in those days. So when I wasn't able
Speaker 14: to have a charge account, I came here to live.
Speaker 14: That's better than a charge account. I was quite alarmed
Speaker 14: when others began to come after the crash of nineteen seven.
Speaker 6: But it was the.
Speaker 14: Dear judge, missus Bilbie, How you do, missus Bilbie rights place?
Speaker 14: Oh and comes of an old Philadelphia family. Oh you
Speaker 14: will finders quite nice here, mister.
Speaker 4: Snap, I am sure I will.
Speaker 14: And of course all our dear young people came in
Speaker 14: nineteen twenty nine. Their poor papa's jumped from skyscrapers. They
Speaker 14: couldn't bear to be without charge accounts either.
Speaker 4: All these nice people live here, oh, in many more.
Speaker 14: Oh, here comes and with my broth, come here, stupid thing.
Speaker 5: Yes, come, I'm coming as fast as I can.
Speaker 14: And the table over there, and a big hareful goose pile.
Speaker 11: But she is young, well, of course she is a
Speaker 11: little younger than most of us.
Speaker 4: She's different, she's.
Speaker 11: Beautiful, that's right, She's really not our soul's.
Speaker 4: Well, you shouldn't say such things. She can hear you.
Speaker 8: Oh missus Bilby.
Speaker 11: Please, you'll understand these things better after you've been here
Speaker 11: a while, mister Snell.
Speaker 14: But it seems to me, mister Snell, we have certain
Speaker 14: rules here.
Speaker 13: They are necessary for our survival. I'm sure you won't
Speaker 13: find it hard to observe it, yes, but I would advise.
Speaker 5: That you try.
Speaker 13: If you do not, it would be most unfortunate, mister Sneill,
Speaker 13: most unfortunate.
Speaker 1: In just a moment, we will return to the second
Speaker 1: act of escape. But first, if you want lots of stars,
Speaker 1: you won't have to look through a telescope or be
Speaker 1: hit over the head. All you have to do is
Speaker 1: tune in over most of these same CBS network stations
Speaker 1: next Monday night and every Monday night thereafter, and you
Speaker 1: will find all the stars. They'll be on the Lux
Speaker 1: Radio Theater, playing in radio adaptations of your favorite motion pictures.
Speaker 1: Don't forget the Lux Radio Theater, one of five great
Speaker 1: shows on CBS every Monday night. Now we return to
Speaker 1: the second act of Escape and to Night's story.
Speaker 15: Evening, Primrose, October fifteenth, I plan to quit my hiding place,
Speaker 15: mingle with the crowds and leave braces forever.
Speaker 4: But just at dawn, mister Ruscoe brought me a cup
Speaker 4: of coffee, which must have been drugged, for I fell asleep,
Speaker 4: and when I awoke, night was closing over the store.
Speaker 4: Once more. I have spent my second night here. I
Speaker 4: saw Ella again, Ella, the pearl of this remote, fantastic cave.
Speaker 4: She is not like the others, try for pale, but
Speaker 4: otherwise normal than human, and beautiful. A child of perhaps eighteen,
Speaker 4: she is the only thing that makes this nightmare barbable.
Speaker 4: October twenty Escape is impossible because of the dark men.
Speaker 4: Who are the dark men? I don't know, but the
Speaker 4: inhabitants threaten any transgressor with these dark men. Speaking to
Speaker 4: the night Watchmen would be suicide. I'm convinced that neither
Speaker 4: Ellen nor I could get out of here alive. She
Speaker 4: and the night Watchmen are the only real people here.
Speaker 4: And how are the others? I hate the night.
Speaker 12: Watchmen, odious, vulgar creature. He reeks of the coarse sun.
Speaker 4: Oh come now, missus Belby. He's really a personable young man.
Speaker 4: He's very young for a night watchman's snell.
Speaker 11: Sometimes I wonder about your taste.
Speaker 12: You must not stay so much to yourself. You must
Speaker 12: become better acquainted with our way.
Speaker 11: That's quite true. You must come to the play tonight.
Speaker 11: We're going to be entertained with one of Missus Bilby's
Speaker 11: tragic comedies, Love in Shadowland. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
Speaker 4: I'm sure I will.
Speaker 12: It's really a festive occasion. You know, Wanamakers is coming.
Speaker 4: Over Wana Makers.
Speaker 11: Yes, the entire colony over at Wanamakers is coming here
Speaker 11: a mass to attend the play.
Speaker 4: You mean there are people living in other stories?
Speaker 12: Oh dear, yes, didn't you know?
Speaker 13: Of course?
Speaker 12: The best people live in Braces and Wanamakers.
Speaker 11: Oh come now, Bill b there are some very nice
Speaker 11: people at Otman's.
Speaker 5: I beg your pardon, Missus Bilbey.
Speaker 4: Oh hello Ella, good.
Speaker 5: Evening, mister Snell.
Speaker 8: Well what is it ella?
Speaker 5: Please, ma'ama, I'd so love to see you play tonight.
Speaker 5: Ma may I have your permission?
Speaker 12: You know better than that, your stupid creature. You know
Speaker 12: where you belong, in the basement by the garbage cat.
Speaker 4: But Missus Bilby, Missus.
Speaker 11: Stell Ella, you're becoming entirely too forward of late, I'd
Speaker 11: advise you to watch your step.
Speaker 8: Remember the dark Man.
Speaker 5: No, please, mister Roscoe, I'm sorry, missus Bilby, Excuse me?
Speaker 4: How can you treat it like that? Why do you
Speaker 4: always frighten her? And what is all this about the darkness?
Speaker 12: Well you she please, mister Roscoe. Not now, you'll spoil
Speaker 12: our whole evening. I do so want mister Snell to
Speaker 12: enjoy my play.
Speaker 11: Very well, Missus Bilby, Late, mister Snell, but.
Speaker 4: I want to know about the dark Man lady. Later
Speaker 4: October twenty one, I found an opportunity to speak to
Speaker 4: Ella alone last night at the play. I induced a
Speaker 4: fit of hiccups as I anticipated, I was sternly reprimanded
Speaker 4: and told to go and secrete myself on the basement
Speaker 4: where the night watchman wouldn't hear me. This was exactly
Speaker 4: what I had planned. I went to the basement. I'm
Speaker 4: bearing the darkness among the garbage cans and the rats.
Speaker 4: I heard sobbing, Ellen, Ellen, Ellen said to you, Yes,
Speaker 4: why are you crying? What is it?
Speaker 6: They wouldn't even let me see the play.
Speaker 4: Oh is that a snow?
Speaker 6: I'm so happy.
Speaker 4: No, you mustn't cry.
Speaker 6: You're the only one, the only one who's.
Speaker 4: Kind, Ella, Ella, Why do they treat you so differently.
Speaker 5: Because I'm not like them. I didn't choose to come here.
Speaker 4: You mean you're hell prisoner.
Speaker 5: Yes, you see, I was only six. I came here
Speaker 5: on a shopping tour with my mother. I got lost
Speaker 5: and fell asleep behind the counter. It was dark, and
Speaker 5: when I awoke, they found me. Some of them wanted
Speaker 5: to send for the dark Man because they were afraid
Speaker 5: I would tell on them. But missus vander pet said no,
Speaker 5: I could stay and be her maid. Been here ever since.
Speaker 4: Since you were six. But haven't you ever tried to
Speaker 4: get away?
Speaker 5: No, I don't know anything about out there. I wouldn't
Speaker 5: know what to do. Besides, I'm afraid to take the chance.
Speaker 5: If anyone tries to get out there, they send for
Speaker 5: the dark men.
Speaker 4: Who are the dark men? It's horrible.
Speaker 5: You know how people live in all the stores at
Speaker 5: Gimbals and Bloomingdales. Well, the dark men live at the
Speaker 5: the undertakers. And whenever someone dies or breaks the rules,
Speaker 5: or when a burglar gets in and sees these people
Speaker 5: and might tell them, they send for the dark Man.
Speaker 5: They put the body in the butcher's shop and the
Speaker 5: food department, and then the dark men come I saw
Speaker 5: them once.
Speaker 8: It was terrible.
Speaker 4: What what do they do?
Speaker 5: They go in what the dead person is? They have
Speaker 5: wax with them and all sorts of things, And when
Speaker 5: they're gone, there's just a wax model left on the counter.
Speaker 5: Then our people put a frock on it or a
Speaker 5: bathing suit and mix it up with the other wax
Speaker 5: models in the window. Nobody ever knows.
Speaker 4: Ella, you mean all these dummies around us, not all
Speaker 4: of them.
Speaker 5: If you displease these people, the same thing will happened
Speaker 5: to you.
Speaker 4: October thirty Once more, I'm frozen with terror, not for
Speaker 4: myself now, but for Ellen. They hate her. Any time
Speaker 4: they might turn against her and send for the dark men.
Speaker 4: My mind is filled with her. I dream of her
Speaker 4: every day. I live to see her at night. They've
Speaker 4: managed it several times. They trust me now and let
Speaker 4: me roam about without interference. Finally, tonight I met her
Speaker 4: again and said it, Ella, I love you, Charles, I
Speaker 4: love you Ellen. Let's get married or whatever they do here,
Speaker 4: and then we can live together in my home in
Speaker 4: the carpet department. They wouldn't dare hurt you again. No,
Speaker 4: don't look so dismayed. If you like, we'll go away
Speaker 4: from here. Maybe maybe we can get transferred to Bergdorf
Speaker 4: Goodmanes overlooking Central Park.
Speaker 5: Don't, Charles, don't you? You mustn't.
Speaker 4: But I love you. You're not in love with someone.
Speaker 5: Else, Charles, Yes, yes I am.
Speaker 4: But who I thought you hated them all? It must
Speaker 4: be Roscoe. He's the only one that's young.
Speaker 5: And no, Charles, not Rascal, especially not him. I do
Speaker 5: hate them ally. They make me shudder.
Speaker 4: Well who is it? Then?
Speaker 5: It's he who the night watchman?
Speaker 4: No, no, that's impossible. I love him.
Speaker 5: He smells of the sun. Oh, it was wonderful the
Speaker 5: way it happened. Don't tell me, Charles, are there punishment?
Speaker 5: I was careless and there he was, coming around the
Speaker 5: corner in the ladies lungury department. I was caught. There
Speaker 5: were only some wax models in there under things, and
Speaker 5: there was nothing else to do. I slipped off my
Speaker 5: dress and stood still. I see he stopped near me.
Speaker 5: He looked at me, and oh, Charles, he spoke to me.
Speaker 5: He said, say, honey, I wish they had made him
Speaker 5: like you on the eighth Avenue. Charles, wasn't that a
Speaker 5: lovely thing to say?
Speaker 4: Personally? I should have said Park Avenue.
Speaker 5: Charles, don't get like these people hearing. It doesn't matter
Speaker 5: what avenue. It was a lovely thing to say.
Speaker 4: What can you do about him? Ella? He belongs to another.
Speaker 5: World, Yes, to eighth Avenue, And I want to go there, Charles,
Speaker 5: Are you really my friend?
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, of course I am.
Speaker 5: Then I'll tell you I'm going to stand there again
Speaker 5: in the Lagerie apartment so he'll see me. Then perhaps
Speaker 5: he'll speak to me again.
Speaker 4: Ella, Ellie, you're only torturing yourself. You only think that
Speaker 4: you love him because you think he'll take you out
Speaker 4: of here. But you don't know that he will. And
Speaker 4: I will, Ella, I've made up my mind.
Speaker 5: No, Chelter, I couldn't let you do it, even if
Speaker 5: I loved you. You couldn't do it, Charles. Why not
Speaker 5: because you really belong here? You've become one of them now?
Speaker 4: Well, Ella, you mustn't say that, true.
Speaker 6: Charles and I have.
Speaker 5: Got to go. There's someone watching us. I feel good
Speaker 5: bye Chile.
Speaker 11: No Ella, come back, Ella, please, mister Snell will arouse
Speaker 11: the night watchman Roscale. Yes, love can be very upsetting,
Speaker 11: can't it you? You heard just at last moment or
Speaker 11: so very touching. So she loves another, too bad? Who
Speaker 11: could it be? Could it be that I am the
Speaker 11: cause of your heart break?
Speaker 4: Oh, you flutter yourself too much, Rascale.
Speaker 8: And who your judge?
Speaker 11: Certainly not the colonel, hardly, none of those, not one
Speaker 11: of the customers, Miss tire.
Speaker 4: No, she loves the night watchman. Can you imagine that
Speaker 4: she loves the night? Oh, Rascal? Look, I shouldn't have
Speaker 4: said that. It's not true. You wouldn't do anything, tell anybody.
Speaker 4: This is a secret between us, Rascal, between friends, isn't it.
Speaker 8: Of course as secret as the grave.
Speaker 4: Look. Look, she's young. Perhaps he'll leave and she'll forget
Speaker 4: him in her time. Who knows, Perhaps she'll learn to
Speaker 4: love you me, of course, in time, and we'll figure
Speaker 4: a way to keep her safe.
Speaker 11: Here, absolutely safe. Don't you worry about it? Mm hmmm's
Speaker 11: almost dawn. Time forbid. Good morning, mister snaw.
Speaker 4: Oh early evening, November four. I was a fool. I
Speaker 4: should have known he couldn't be trusted. He must have
Speaker 4: gone straight to missus Vanderpant. This evening, the atmosphere has changed.
Speaker 4: People flicker to and fro, smiling nervously horribly, with a
Speaker 4: sort of frightened sadistic exultation. An informal dance in the
Speaker 4: record department has been called off. I cannot find Mill.
Speaker 4: I'm going on again now to look for her. Roscoe.
Speaker 4: What have you done with her?
Speaker 8: Quiet?
Speaker 4: Quiet, the night Watchman, I don't care. What have you done?
Speaker 11: Whatever I did I did for your own good as
Speaker 11: well as the good of us all.
Speaker 4: Wait a minute, what's that? What are those people carrying?
Speaker 4: Why it Tella? She's tied up carrying it. Ella, Ella,
Speaker 4: stop it, stop it, Let me stop, let me go. No,
Speaker 4: stops the night Watchman, taking her into into the butcher shop.
Speaker 11: Hell, yes, mister snare those are the dark Men.
Speaker 4: Midnight. I am scribbling this last entry hurriedly there and
Speaker 4: there in the butcher shop with Hell the dark Man.
Speaker 4: There's only one thing to do. I'm going to find
Speaker 4: the night Watchman and tell him. He and I will
Speaker 4: say but if we can, and if we're overpowered, well
Speaker 4: I I will leave this pad on the stationary contract tomorrow.
Speaker 4: If I live, I'll recover it. If I do not.
Speaker 4: Whoever finds this and reads it, look in the windows.
Speaker 4: Look for three new wax dummies. Two men, one rather
Speaker 4: sensitive looking and a girl. She has blonde hair and
Speaker 4: blue eyes, and her nose turns up a little look
Speaker 4: for us, and then find them, smoke them out.
Speaker 10: Exs Tim the Adventures.
Speaker 6: Oh Sam, isn't it horrible?
Speaker 3: Wow?
Speaker 6: We gotta do something.
Speaker 9: We've gotta tell somebody something, Oh Sam, what'll we do?
Speaker 10: Nothing? Go to bed?
Speaker 7: But Sam, whoever wrote this is sure got a weird
Speaker 7: sense of humor.
Speaker 10: Probably some clock down at Bracey sought'll be fired.
Speaker 6: But you mean you think it's just a story.
Speaker 10: You couldn't You don't believe this stuff?
Speaker 4: Do you? Well?
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 10: I just thought, forget it, baby, snap out of it.
Speaker 10: I shouldn't leave you alone. You get too many ideas
Speaker 10: when I go out balling at night.
Speaker 9: Oh Sam, But don't you think maybe we ought to
Speaker 9: just take it back and show somebody nuts.
Speaker 10: It's not worth the bother. They'd laugh at your baby,
Speaker 10: they think you were crazy or something.
Speaker 6: I guess you're right, I guess it was silly.
Speaker 10: Forget it. Come on, let's go to bed.
Speaker 4: I'm tired.
Speaker 6: Sure, Sam, Golly, you loved there for a while. I
Speaker 6: sure was skin well.
Speaker 9: I even forgot to tell you what I was gonna
Speaker 9: tell you, Sam, I found the cutest dress today only
Speaker 9: nineteen ninety five.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, it.
Speaker 9: Was in the window at Bracy's and it was on
Speaker 9: a beautiful little wax model with blond hair and blue
Speaker 9: eyes and a turned up nose, and then with two
Speaker 9: men standing beside.
