13
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 2: Broadways My Beat from Times Square to Columbus Circle. The gaudiest,

14
00:01:40,719 --> 00:01:44,439
the most violent, the lonesomest mile in the world.

15
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:54,159
Speaker 3: Of Broadway is My Beat with Larry Thor as Detective

16
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:55,280
Danny Clover.

17
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 2: In the time before Dawn. Broadway is an island of silence,

18
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,080
torn from the blazing neon the midnight sun of the spectaculars,

19
00:02:13,719 --> 00:02:17,000
the river mists mingle with the vapors rising from manhole covers.

20
00:02:17,599 --> 00:02:20,800
Through them move the rejects, the stragglers, the wanderers, the

21
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:25,319
men without sleep. One detaches himself scavengers in a trash bin,

22
00:02:25,439 --> 00:02:28,080
choked with the remnants of night finds. Nothing moves on

23
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,800
to the next. It's the time of the endless search,

24
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,000
the restlessness of an anguish you can't understand. On the

25
00:02:34,039 --> 00:02:37,000
street built for the purpose, you walk it, and a

26
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,680
shadow whimpers, and you hurry on, close your heart to it,

27
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:49,479
because the whimper was yours. And finally you must put

28
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,759
aside whatever it was you were looking for, because on

29
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,639
a side street a man waits for you to give

30
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,759
you the night times departing gift. The boy lying dead

31
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,000
against the iron gate of the tenement's.

32
00:02:59,599 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 4: Basement, Pablo Malari Danny from uptown West one hundred and

33
00:03:03,319 --> 00:03:06,520
ninth Street, carried one of those handwritten identification card.

34
00:03:06,599 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 2: You find anything else on him.

35
00:03:08,039 --> 00:03:11,199
Speaker 4: Not much, five dollar bill in his wallet, his saints

36
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,520
man Daddi, and he's wearing on a chain around his neck.

37
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 2: That's about all you're question the people, and yeah, Danny.

38
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,759
Speaker 4: Every door, no one ever heard of the kid, had

39
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,000
nothing to do with him, didn't want to talk about him.

40
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,319
Speaker 5: You know most of them were trying to sleep, the heat,

41
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:24,520
the kids squalling, you.

42
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 2: Know, yeah, eating jaw broken. This bruise on his throat must.

43
00:03:31,319 --> 00:03:34,199
Speaker 4: Be the one that killed him. Come down here, Danny,

44
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:39,879
huh what? Take a look at the sign on this door.

45
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,439
Hudson Club Johnny Hammett President. I guess it's one of

46
00:03:43,479 --> 00:03:45,520
those street clubs the kids make up for themselves.

47
00:03:45,879 --> 00:03:47,039
Speaker 5: His neighborhood's loaded with him.

48
00:03:47,199 --> 00:03:48,759
Speaker 2: You think what happened to this kid is.

49
00:03:48,759 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 6: Part of it? Yeah?

50
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 5: I think, what do you think?

51
00:03:52,199 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 2: Maybe check it back and I'll get back to you.

52
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,400
And wait now for the decent. Give to someone a

53
00:04:01,439 --> 00:04:03,840
few more hours of sleep before breaking the news about

54
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,639
the death of a young man, and at eight thirty

55
00:04:06,919 --> 00:04:09,719
to an address on West hundred and ninth Street. Climb

56
00:04:09,759 --> 00:04:12,080
four flights and be careful of the rotting steps and

57
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,319
the three year olds at play. The door opens to

58
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,199
your knock, and the woman who pinches her shawl close

59
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,279
to her throat doesn't understand what you're saying and calls

60
00:04:21,319 --> 00:04:24,839
a neighbor who understands, who explains to the woman. The

61
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,839
mother of a murdered young man explains what must be done.

62
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:32,639
Accept the fact of death, identify the body, bury her son,

63
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,680
then walk away from all of it. You have started

64
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:43,439
a new day. Call headquarters. Detective Mugguman gives you an

65
00:04:43,439 --> 00:04:46,199
address looked for and found and checked by the night shift.

66
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,560
Johnny Hammet, president of the Hudson Club, a tenement on

67
00:04:49,639 --> 00:04:53,319
West forty third near the docks. Johnny's glad for the company.

68
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,199
Speaker 5: I dislike having my coffee alone, mister Clover.

69
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 7: You work, Johnny, here and there, mostly on Broadway, Sir,

70
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,120
people always want things done.

71
00:05:03,439 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 2: You mean you run errands?

72
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,879
Speaker 7: No, if you think all it is is running down

73
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:12,120
to the corner drug store. No Broadway, mister Clover, it's

74
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:13,000
full of tourists.

75
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:14,639
Speaker 2: Anybody else live here with you?

76
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,319
Speaker 5: Yeah? My father, I think he still does. I hardly

77
00:05:18,319 --> 00:05:19,000
ever see him.

78
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:20,959
Speaker 2: How's the Hudson Club coming along?

79
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 6: Oh?

80
00:05:21,439 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 5: Fine, fine, thank you.

81
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,319
Speaker 2: What kind of club is it?

82
00:05:24,759 --> 00:05:28,079
Speaker 7: Oh? A little bit of everything, sports, dances, beach parties.

83
00:05:28,759 --> 00:05:30,360
The girls do most of the arranging.

84
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 2: Girls.

85
00:05:32,519 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 5: Isn't that funny?

86
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 7: About a month ago I mentioned girls to my father.

87
00:05:36,759 --> 00:05:41,759
He had the same expression on his face as you do. Heah, girls,

88
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,439
I'm nineteen. I don't chalk walls anymore.

89
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,959
Speaker 2: Johnny, A member of your club was murdered last night,

Speaker 2: What about him? Johnny? Who killed him?

94
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 7: I didn't, and no one's come up to me last

95
00:06:00,439 --> 00:06:01,519

Climb the stairs, knock on a door with the curtain

149
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,519
panels of glass, and hear the furtive scurrying behind it

150
00:08:35,519 --> 00:08:38,679
and the slam of another door inside. Then hear a

151
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,080
woman's steps approaching in an instant of silence, then the

152
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,799
fumbling with the catch, and the door opens. The woman

153
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,879
had not finished making herself presentable to the caller. The

00:08:48,879 --> 00:08:52,679
wrinkled cotton house dress needed another smoothing, The graying hair

155
00:08:52,799 --> 00:08:55,519
needed to be pressed back again from the forehead. The

00:08:55,639 --> 00:08:58,399
tired voice there was nothing to be done about that.

mother said you had something you want to tell me.

186
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,200
Mom's wrong, I don't think, so tell me Paula.

187
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,759
Speaker 11: Mom can hardly speak English. Sometimes she doesn't understand the

188
00:11:04,799 --> 00:11:07,399
things I say to her. I've got nothing for you.

189
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 8: Besides, I'm busy brushing your hair.

190
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:12,799
Speaker 2: Let it alone for a while. Paula talked to me.

191
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,200
The boy was murdered last night in front of a

192
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,600
club where you were initiated, Pablo Malarry, Is that what

193
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,639
you wanted to tell me about, mister Matty? Paula scared?

194
00:11:24,919 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 12: Look at me?

195
00:11:26,399 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 13: You think you could scare me?

196
00:11:27,639 --> 00:11:28,799
Speaker 2: Told me Nelson talked to me.

197
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 13: He said, he told you I was sweet to him.

198
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,159
Speaker 11: Maybe told you I joined the Hudson's because he asked

199
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,600
me cause I used to jump when he asked that.

200
00:11:36,759 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 5: He told you that too.

201
00:11:38,799 --> 00:11:41,039
Speaker 13: Well, next time you see him, explain to him. It's finished.

202
00:11:41,399 --> 00:11:44,519
Threw wiped off my memory book? Was it last night?

203
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 2: What happened last night?

204
00:11:47,879 --> 00:11:51,399
Speaker 13: I got initiated in the club? What else can happen.

205
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 12: To a girl?

206
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,919
Speaker 2: Murder? Maybe a murder she saw being committed, Maybe something

207
00:11:54,919 --> 00:11:55,440
she's afraid.

208
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 11: I said at once, I got nothing to tell you,

209
00:11:59,399 --> 00:12:01,159
So go tell me mom. I got nothing to say

210
00:12:01,159 --> 00:12:03,279
to a policeman, will cheer her up.

211
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,879
Speaker 2: I hope you're right, Paula, for you, for your mother,

212
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:09,039
I hope you're right.

213
00:12:22,639 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 14: Danny.

214
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,039
Speaker 15: I give you the evening's greetings, thanks a lot. You

215
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,919
know you're here so late tonight. Why didn't you go

216
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,279
home after you saw the chowpag?

217
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:31,639
Speaker 2: Girl had some work to do?

218
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:33,759
Speaker 14: Huh?

219
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:34,159
Speaker 8: Danny?

220
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 15: Would you mind very much if I regaled you with

221
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,679
a tidbit that happened early this evening at the house

222
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:39,440
of Tartaglia.

223
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:40,279
Speaker 2: Please do.

224
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 15: Cousin Stanley from Gay Paris showed up after ten these

225
00:12:44,399 --> 00:12:47,960
many years, not him, oh him it was, and with

226
00:12:48,159 --> 00:12:51,840
arms of kimbo, with goodies, nicks for missus Tartaglia, knacks

227
00:12:51,879 --> 00:12:55,399
for the kiddies and for me a great big bottle.

228
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 2: Champagne had to call Danny fifty one from Pari.

229
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:01,879
Speaker 14: Those continentals know how to.

230
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 2: Live, Gino, did you have that list of the Hudson

231
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:05,840
Club checked?

232
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,639
Speaker 15: Indeed I did, and each and every member swears on

233
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,679
the pilas of the club that they know nothing of

234
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,080
the murder of Pablo Malarry.

235
00:13:12,279 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 2: Danny Clover speaking squad cars downstairs for you, Danny.

236
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,639
Speaker 4: Paula Chopek was washed up on the beach at far

237
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:18,840
Rockaway a little while ago.

238
00:13:19,279 --> 00:13:28,519
Speaker 2: Maybe an accident, maybe homicide. You going, Danny right away.

239
00:13:30,879 --> 00:13:34,759
The night wind off the sea was soft, warm. Its

240
00:13:34,799 --> 00:13:37,519
sighed against the flames of the beach fire strung along

241
00:13:37,519 --> 00:13:41,159
the coast, riffled the sand across driftwood, across the litter.

242
00:13:42,039 --> 00:13:44,559
It brought close the far off sounds of a summer

243
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,120
beach at night, the laughter from behind screen porches, the

244
00:13:48,159 --> 00:13:52,320
siren call of the ukulele gently strummed, the distant screeching

245
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:56,320
of gulls and closer the other sounds, the lash and

246
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,559
wash of the surf, the opening and setting up, an

247
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,240
adjusting of the mechanical devices that attend the dead, and

248
00:14:03,279 --> 00:14:05,600
then the trembling voice of the boy who tries to

249
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,960
tell you about the girl lying there, how it was, why.

250
00:14:08,759 --> 00:14:10,879
Speaker 5: It was we were swimming, sir.

251
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,759
Speaker 12: I lost her someplace out there in the dark, and

252
00:14:13,799 --> 00:14:14,960
I heard her kind of scream.

253
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 2: Just you and Paula, Johnny.

254
00:14:16,399 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 5: There was a beach.

255
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 7: Party like the ones I told you about, you know.

256
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,480
The members left. Paula wanted to stay, asked me to

257
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:23,200
stay with her.

258
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 2: You said. She screamed.

259
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 7: Why she hit her head on one of those rocks

260
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,240
out there, Hi tide covers them up.

261
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:30,799
Speaker 12: I didn't know why I hit the beach. She was dead.

262
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:31,919
I tried to.

263
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:34,639
Speaker 6: Dead.

264
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:37,399
Speaker 5: She is, isn't she.

265
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 12: Look at me? I killed Paula.

266
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 3: You were listening to Broadways My Beat, written by Morton

267
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,919
Fine and David Friedkin, with Larry Thora as Detective Danny

268
00:15:01,679 --> 00:15:04,759
Tonight's The Night Yes beginning this evening, there'll be a

269
00:15:04,799 --> 00:15:08,039
new host on Songs for Sale. He's affable, Steve Allen,

270
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,960
a young comedian whose likable personality you're really going to enjoy.

271
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:16,360
Steve Allen becomes head salesman on Songs for Sale, introducing

272
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,519
new songwriters and their tunes tonight over most of these

273
00:15:19,559 --> 00:15:21,000
same CBS stations.

274
00:15:30,879 --> 00:15:33,759
Speaker 2: On an early summer's night, Broadway stands in a corner,

275
00:15:33,919 --> 00:15:36,679
leans against the orange, just stand and sums up the day.

276
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,399
Some days are better than others. Some days you'll break eepen.

277
00:15:40,879 --> 00:15:43,000
You only had one end of the daily double. But

278
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,360
the new blonde in the office looked over his shoulder

279
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,320
atch and smiled. And later when she dabbed on her

280
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,240
lipstick with a finger, she smiled again. It was quite

281
00:15:51,279 --> 00:15:54,399
a day to day. The Dodgers passed a miracle. You

282
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,639
forgot to pay the check at the cafeteria, who got

283
00:15:56,679 --> 00:15:59,960
away with it? And a girl, a song of a

284
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,480
girl was washed up on the beach at far Rockaway.

285
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,000
Here is maybe a tragic day, but here is a day.

286
00:16:07,039 --> 00:16:08,759
It was eleven thirty toward the end of it when

287
00:16:08,759 --> 00:16:10,639
we got Johnny Hammett back to headquarters.

288
00:16:10,799 --> 00:16:15,879
Speaker 5: Sit down there, Johnny cigarette kid no, no, thank you.

289
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:17,519
Maybe you'd rather have one of Danny's.

290
00:16:17,559 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, here, here have one, Johnny.

291
00:16:18,879 --> 00:16:20,759
Speaker 5: I don't want one. I guess Johnny doesn't like the

292
00:16:20,799 --> 00:16:23,080
brands we smoked. Danny. I just don't want to smoke,

293
00:16:23,159 --> 00:16:27,519
that's all count man, not want to smoke. Take sure sure, relax, kid,

294
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:29,799
Am I under arrest.

295
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:31,039
Speaker 2: You said you killed Paula?

296
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 5: It was my fault. I shouldn't let her swim out

297
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,440
that far? Did you kill her? Didn't you kill her?

298
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:42,720
It was my fault? Who killed Pablo Malari? You think

299
00:16:42,759 --> 00:16:43,159
I did?

300
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 8: Did you?

301
00:16:43,679 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 2: Johnny?

302
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,159
Speaker 5: You think I killed him, don't you? Mister Clover?

303
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 4: There you go again, Johnny. Look, look, kid, A couple

304
00:16:50,519 --> 00:16:53,639
of friends were killed. Were police were asking?

305
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:54,879
Speaker 5: I didn't kill anybody.

306
00:16:54,919 --> 00:16:56,639
Speaker 2: I don't have to explain to Johnny Mauvern. He knows

307
00:16:56,639 --> 00:16:58,879
why he's here. He knows we need his help.

308
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,399
Speaker 5: Help, Johnny, That's that's what we want. We're not asking

309
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,440
for a confession. Who's kidding?

310
00:17:03,519 --> 00:17:04,799
Speaker 2: Who were you in love with Paula?

311
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:07,079
Speaker 5: She wasn't around long enough?

312
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 2: She was around tonight? What happened tonight?

313
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,039
Speaker 5: You know what happened? What's the matter with you?

314
00:17:12,079 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 4: Look, Johnny, I'm going to tell you something. You're not

315
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,440
talking to your little hoodlum friends. You're talking to a policeman.

316
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,160
Nobody's trying to intimidate you. Nobody's trying to make you

317
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,799
say things you don't want to say. You're talking to

318
00:17:21,799 --> 00:17:25,359
a policeman that's trying to do his job. What happened tonight?

319
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 2: They had a beach party the Hudson's.

320
00:17:30,079 --> 00:17:31,759
Speaker 5: Yes, sir, that's better, Johnny.

321
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 12: Paula and I came late.

322
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, this were already there, Toby Nelson.

323
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:37,039
Speaker 5: Yes, sir.

324
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 12: Toby wanted to take Paula home. Paula wanted to stay,

325
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:46,799
so we stayed. Paula and I. We were the last

326
00:17:46,799 --> 00:17:47,240
ones there.

327
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:48,839
Speaker 2: What made Paula want to stay?

328
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 5: She'd never been swimming at night.

329
00:17:51,279 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 2: And she swam out past the breakers and a wave

330
00:17:53,319 --> 00:17:55,720
washed against a rock. Is that what happened?

331
00:17:56,039 --> 00:17:56,559
Speaker 5: Yes, sir?

332
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 2: All right, Johnny?

333
00:17:58,880 --> 00:17:59,599
Speaker 5: Can I go now?

334
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 2: Good night? Johnny? Thanks? What do you think you believe him?

335
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,519
I don't know. I'm going to check. I'm going to

336
00:18:10,559 --> 00:18:33,599
talk to Toby. Toby. Toby, you've got a long nose, mister.

337
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,480
Your landlady told me you're up here on the roof.

338
00:18:36,319 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 8: Hers is even longer than yours. What does the guy

339
00:18:39,279 --> 00:18:40,799
have to do to get a square foot of bear

340
00:18:40,839 --> 00:18:44,519
to himself? Your girl's dead, Toby, Paula is dead. You're stale, mister.

341
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,559
The smooth voices on the radiom been telling me paul

342
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,519
is dead for a now, and now.

343
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 6: Appear.

344
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 8: I thought I couldn't hear him.

345
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,039
Speaker 2: Johnny Hammett says, it was an accident.

346
00:18:58,240 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 8: That makes it an accident.

347
00:18:59,319 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 2: You were at the beach, hardy, Toby.

348
00:19:00,599 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 8: Never missing gives me a chance to show off my

349
00:19:03,559 --> 00:19:04,599
muscles to the members.

350
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 2: You did that, then what happened?

351
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:11,559
Speaker 8: Let me think now? Uh yeah? After that, I rose

352
00:19:11,599 --> 00:19:14,359
to the hot dogs for the group. We all ate hearty.

353
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,200
Then it broke up. I came home.

354
00:19:16,319 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 2: I left Paula alone. Johnny.

355
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's the.

356
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,519
Speaker 2: Other thing I did. Paula was your girl. How come

357
00:19:21,599 --> 00:19:22,640
Johnny took her to the party.

358
00:19:23,519 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 8: If she was alive, you could ask her. I wouldn't know.

359
00:19:25,799 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 2: Johnny says. You wanted to take her home? Why didn't you?

360
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 8: Because she slapped me across the mouth when I asked her.

361
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:36,240
They all laughed Johnny too. Then she laughed hotter than anybody.

362
00:19:37,319 --> 00:19:39,039
That's how I got the message. She didn't want me

363
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,920
to take her home. She wanted Johnny up to the

364
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,039
night of the initiation at the Hudson Club. She was

365
00:19:44,079 --> 00:19:46,880
your girl. What happened there to make her turn on you?

366
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 2: Toby?

367
00:19:47,319 --> 00:19:50,279
Speaker 8: She's dead. Paula is dead. What else do you want

368
00:19:50,319 --> 00:19:52,680
from me? What else do I have to give you?

369
00:19:54,559 --> 00:20:01,119
How much can you She's dead, mister, That's all I got.

370
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 2: All right, Toby, And leave the boy alone. Give him

371
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,160
the time and place of his grieving and the quality

372
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,279
of it that's bled out of a tenement rooftop in

373
00:20:20,319 --> 00:20:24,000
a city stretching into the hours after midnight. Go away,

374
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:33,119
resign yourself that another day is over the next morning,

375
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,200
and the legwork going out to a corner of the

376
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,920
city where the sign says eleventh Avenue and forty sixth

377
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,720
Climb the steps and stop at the door. Intrude upon

378
00:20:41,839 --> 00:20:43,680
two rooms newly filled with grieving.

379
00:20:45,799 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 9: Please please come in, have my daughter.

380
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 2: Missus Chopak. The police are not satisfied that Paula my daughter, Paula.

381
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,920
There's a possibility that it wasn't an accident.

382
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 10: Paula is another room. The others neighbors by me. We

383
00:21:06,599 --> 00:21:07,920
have only boxes to sit on.

384
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,319
Speaker 2: I want you to try to understand what I'm saying.

385
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 10: Nothing, nothing, I understand only up to yesterday. Yesterday when

386
00:21:18,519 --> 00:21:22,400
Paula said to me, Mamma, I'm going to swim with

387
00:21:22,519 --> 00:21:24,000
this boy, this Johnny.

388
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,759
Speaker 2: Johnny hammered Johnny. He called for her.

389
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,519
Speaker 10: At first, my Paula, she said she would want to

390
00:21:29,559 --> 00:21:32,640
stay home rather. Then the boy said something to her.

391
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:37,240
Then down low over her ear. Paula took her suit

392
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,839
for swimming, her cap not to get her hair with.

393
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:42,519
Speaker 9: Then she said what I said to you.

394
00:21:42,599 --> 00:21:45,880
Speaker 2: I see just one more thing, missus chopack. The night

395
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,480
before last your daughter went out. Do you know where

396
00:21:48,519 --> 00:21:49,920
she went to?

397
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 9: Some place to party? My club has party.

398
00:21:54,279 --> 00:21:56,519
Speaker 2: What time did she come home late?

399
00:21:56,599 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 9: I dun't know what time?

400
00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 2: Did you talk to her when she came home?

401
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 9: Only when I.

402
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 10: Try to give her help help, white like ghost sick.

403
00:22:09,519 --> 00:22:11,279
I hear this. I get out of my bed. I

404
00:22:11,319 --> 00:22:15,880
come to her. I say, hollow, you're sick. Mamma gets something.

405
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,599
She tell me go away like I'm someone she never

406
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:20,200
see before.

407
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 2: Was she drunk.

408
00:22:22,799 --> 00:22:23,079
Speaker 8: Sick?

409
00:22:24,319 --> 00:22:29,319
Speaker 10: That's no whiskey. I smell sick, white sick like ghost.

410
00:22:30,319 --> 00:22:35,759
I see she's dead now, Hollie is and the neighbors

411
00:22:35,759 --> 00:22:41,480
by me. They're in next room, they said, they cry,

412
00:22:42,799 --> 00:22:48,559
they touched my shoulder. They don't talk, they don't know

413
00:22:48,599 --> 00:22:50,119
what words to say to me.

414
00:22:58,279 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 2: Then walk the tenement street and have your passage greeted

415
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,079
by the sudden silences of the yelling kids, the turning

416
00:23:04,079 --> 00:23:07,400
of backs after the furtive gesture of insult, because somehow

417
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,559
you were guilty of that anguish over the corner grocery store.

418
00:23:11,279 --> 00:23:13,400
Once you had been welcomed by a mother, and for

419
00:23:13,519 --> 00:23:16,240
that you had left her a dead child. And on

420
00:23:16,279 --> 00:23:19,440
that street the guilt was yours. So I got away

421
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:31,400
from it. At headquarters, read reread the file on Mallory

422
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,880
dead of a beating, on Paula Chopac dead of a

423
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,759
head wound while swimming at Rockaway, and finally read away

424
00:23:38,799 --> 00:23:41,559
the daylight and sit in darkness till a man comes in,

425
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,400
looks at you for a moment, turns on a light.

426
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,319
Speaker 14: You don't mind the light, huh, Anny.

427
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 2: It's all right, Geno. Thanks.

428
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 15: I agree with you that this killing is dying of

429
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,559
kids makes one wish to sit alone in the dark.

430
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,839
Speaker 2: However, got something for me, Geno.

431
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:00,839
Speaker 14: All I can.

432
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,279
Speaker 15: Give you is a comment upon the children of today,

433
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,559
the clubs they must make for themselves the things they do,

434
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:10,640
and said clubs, the hurt they bring upon themselves for

435
00:24:10,759 --> 00:24:11,279
so doing.

436
00:24:12,079 --> 00:24:12,279
Speaker 1: Go on.

437
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 14: You know it's in all the papers.

438
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 15: Danny, how they go out of the way for new thrills,

439
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:22,920
new sensations, new emotions. Only this morning, while shaving, I

440
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,200
was bending an ear to the comment from the radio.

441
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,599
I called him to Totag, going.

442
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,640
Speaker 4: I don't know, Danny, maybe yes, maybe no. What Gordon

443
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:33,759
and technical gave it to me to give to you

444
00:24:33,799 --> 00:24:36,119
see if the big man configure it, He says to me,

445
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:38,160
I got news about Gordon.

446
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:39,079
Speaker 5: I actively disliked.

447
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,599
Speaker 4: He's been studying the bathing cap Paula chopak water at

448
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:44,359
the beach party.

449
00:24:44,799 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 5: He says.

450
00:24:45,279 --> 00:24:48,400
Speaker 4: It's curious why he says, the girl didn't have the

451
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:49,400
cap arm when she went.

452
00:24:49,319 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 5: Into the water.

453
00:24:50,319 --> 00:24:52,880
Speaker 2: Paula was proud of her hair. She'd have won the cap.

454
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:55,319
Why does he say she wasn't wearing.

455
00:24:55,079 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 4: It because there was no blood staining inside it. Gordon says,

456
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,119
if she was wearing a cap when she hit the

457
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,839
rocket would have held some of the blood, which means

458
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,119
he says that the cap was put on her after

459
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:06,279
she was carried to the beach.

460
00:25:06,519 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 2: It means another thing, my one. What Paula was murdered?

461
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:11,400
Give me a squad car?

462
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:35,759
Speaker 8: Oh way, we're not open.

463
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:37,839
Speaker 2: It's the police.

464
00:25:39,039 --> 00:25:39,559
Speaker 8: What do you want?

465
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:44,839
Speaker 2: Let's go inside. I'll tell you inside. Toby, are you

466
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:45,880
the only Hudson here?

467
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 8: Hey, Johnny, Look what's here? We gotta call it? Johnny,

468
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:50,799
good evening, mister Clover.

469
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 2: Nice clubhouse you've got here?

470
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:53,759
Speaker 5: Can I show you around?

471
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 2: Where's everybody? I thought you had quite an organization.

472
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 8: They'll be around when you leave. People have started swarming

473
00:25:59,759 --> 00:26:02,599
in you. I'm glad you came, mister Clover.

474
00:26:02,839 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 2: Thanks.

475
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:04,640
Speaker 5: Hey, what's with you?

476
00:26:04,759 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 8: Johnny? I buy a cop for a friend.

477
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,799
Speaker 7: Don't pay any attention to him, sir. He doesn't know

478
00:26:09,839 --> 00:26:14,000
about policemen. He doesn't know they have a job to do.

479
00:26:14,039 --> 00:26:15,759
Speaker 2: You understand all about that, don't you?

480
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:17,400
Speaker 8: Hey, what's going on?

481
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:19,839
Speaker 5: Too bad about you, Toby?

482
00:26:20,519 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: Huh?

483
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 5: I said?

484
00:26:22,039 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 7: Too bad about you? Your muscles, your temper, the mad

485
00:26:26,839 --> 00:26:27,799
you had on the other night.

486
00:26:28,599 --> 00:26:29,799
Speaker 8: Hey, Johnny, what's see?

487
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 5: You never saw Toby work over a guy, did you,

488
00:26:32,759 --> 00:26:33,359
mister Clover?

489
00:26:33,559 --> 00:26:35,039
Speaker 2: No, tell me about it.

490
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:40,799
Speaker 7: Once a boy tried to get in here, tried real hard.

491
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:43,480
Toby was in front of the door.

492
00:26:45,799 --> 00:26:46,799
Speaker 5: The boy never made.

493
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,279
Speaker 7: It, Pablo Molari, Johnny, it wasn't premeditated, mister Clover.

494
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,759
Speaker 5: Toby didn't mean it. He was just angry about something.

495
00:26:54,599 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 2: You're under arrest, Toby, put out your hands.

496
00:26:56,319 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 8: Cut it, do something, fist me.

497
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 16: Take them off.

498
00:27:06,839 --> 00:27:10,519
Speaker 5: Thanks, thanks, mister Clover.

499
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:16,079
Speaker 17: That's just the way he went after that boy. He

500
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,599
would have killed me, Toby all the rest of a while.

501
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:22,920
What are you doing, mister Clover fresting him?

502
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 2: Nice cigarette case cigarette, Johnny, are you kidding? I don't

503
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,319
smoke those. I don't blame you. Marijuana brings your grief,

504
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,799
that's what it brought. Paula Paula, Uh huh. Paula was

505
00:27:38,839 --> 00:27:40,720
a sick girl after she got home from her initiation.

506
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:43,559
You have to smoke this stuff to become a member

507
00:27:43,559 --> 00:27:46,680
of your club. Now, look you look, Johnny. Paula was

508
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,440
Toby's girl. You wanted her, that's why you insisted she

509
00:27:49,519 --> 00:27:51,880
become a member. Put her on this stuff, she'd lose

510
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:52,839
her sense of values.

511
00:27:53,039 --> 00:27:54,640
Speaker 5: You think I'd do anything like that?

512
00:27:54,759 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 2: Yes, I do.

513
00:27:55,759 --> 00:27:57,079
Speaker 5: You know me better than that.

514
00:27:57,279 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 2: I know you killed her.

515
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,519
Speaker 5: I told you what happened out there on the beach.

516
00:28:00,599 --> 00:28:02,279
Speaker 2: She forgot to tell me why she went there with you?

517
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:04,440
What were you going to do, Johnny? Tell her mother

518
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,119
she was smoking marijuana? Is that why she went with

519
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:08,839
the estate at the beach after the others left.

520
00:28:09,519 --> 00:28:11,559
Speaker 7: I don't know what to say to you, mister Clover.

521
00:28:12,519 --> 00:28:15,000
You're wrong, and I think you ought to take care

522
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:15,559
of Toby here.

523
00:28:15,559 --> 00:28:19,039
Speaker 2: Paula had beautiful hair, Johnny, I go along with that.

524
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,599
She'd have worn her cap into the water. You killed

525
00:28:21,599 --> 00:28:24,559
her before she went into the water. How Johnny, the rock,

526
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:26,839
mister Clover, and you threw her in the surf so

527
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:28,880
or as suit to be wet, pulled her back, remembered

528
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:32,359
about the cap, put it on her. Why did you murder?

529
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 5: She was so beautiful? She was so beautiful, mister Clover.

530
00:28:40,519 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 2: She refused more of your cigarettes. Funny worked before Let's go, Johnny.

531
00:28:50,119 --> 00:28:53,319
It always worked, do you know it?

532
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:54,119
Speaker 6: God?

533
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 7: So they'd come around her begging for the stuff. A

534
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:04,559
young man like me, connection it's like a king. I'll

535
00:29:04,559 --> 00:29:08,559
tell you another funny thing. I wouldn't touch this stuff.

536
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 2: Come on, yes, sir, Broadway looks clean. The winds of

537
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:36,240
the evening have swept away the litter. Everything looks sharp, sharp,

538
00:29:37,359 --> 00:29:40,400
like a knife at your heart. You walk against it,

539
00:29:40,559 --> 00:29:45,599
and it plunges deeper, deeper, until there's no pain at all.

540
00:29:47,359 --> 00:29:52,640
It's Broadway, the gaudiest, the most violent, the lonesomest mile

541
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:57,039
in the world. Broadway My Beat.

542
00:30:12,799 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 3: Broadway Is My Beat stars Larry Thor as Detective Danny Clover,

543
00:30:16,839 --> 00:30:20,400
with Charles Calvert as Tartaglia and Jack Kruscian as Muggavan.

544
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,680
The program was produced and directed by Elliott Lewis, with

545
00:30:23,839 --> 00:30:28,240
musical score composed and conducted by Alexander Courage. In tonight's story,

546
00:30:28,279 --> 00:30:31,400
Dick Krenna was heard as Johnny Hammett, Bill Tracy as

547
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:35,119
Toby Nelson, Peggy Weber as Missus Chopat, and Michael Ann

548
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:36,759
Barrett as Paula Chopak.

549
00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 8: On July eighth.

550
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 3: Next week, Broadway's My Beat will be heard on a

New Day Sunday beginning a week from tomorrow, be sure

552
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,640
to listen to Broadways My Beat and the Adventures of

553
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:52,880
Danny Clover, starring Larry Thor.

554
00:30:57,359 --> 00:30:58,519
Speaker 2: Bill Anders Speaking.

555
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 3: This is CBS where Phil Reagan brings you the Serviceman's

556
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:19,720
Own Show every Sunday on the Columbia Broadcasting System.

557
00:31:20,519 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 1: Welcome Back. A good episode, and I appreciated Richard Krenna,

558
00:31:25,359 --> 00:31:29,640
who I didn't recognize in this, which is often the

559
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:34,319
case for his sort of non sitcom, non comedy roles,

560
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,200
and I have to give him credit. Of course, he

561
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:42,559
is best known in old time radio circles as the

562
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:47,880
voice of Walter Denton on Armis Brooks. And there are

563
00:31:48,079 --> 00:31:54,799
some actors whose take on this character in this episode

564
00:31:54,839 --> 00:31:58,119
would be like the evil Walter Dentton, and there are

565
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:03,759
some similarities in terms of the character being young and

566
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:10,200
the character kissing up to authority. But Krinna had such

567
00:32:10,319 --> 00:32:16,200
great range and could really make the characters all sound distinct.

568
00:32:16,759 --> 00:32:21,039
And of course Krenna's career had so many turns in it,

569
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:25,240
and of course his biggest role. If you don't even

570
00:32:25,319 --> 00:32:29,880
think about old time radio, you think about Colonel Trautman

571
00:32:30,279 --> 00:32:33,359
in the Rambo films. I don't know how you could

572
00:32:33,359 --> 00:32:38,000
get two characters who were further apart than that, although

573
00:32:38,079 --> 00:32:44,319
it is worth noting that Qrenna played a parody of

574
00:32:44,319 --> 00:32:52,000
his character in the film Hot Shots Part du and

575
00:32:52,119 --> 00:32:56,480
the name of his character was Denton Walters. Now we

576
00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:00,359
turned to listener comments and feedback, and we we have

577
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:04,480
some comments We're going to start out over on Spotify

578
00:33:05,319 --> 00:33:09,920
regarding the Frank Dunn murder case. Doctor who done it

579
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,720
sums it up well, So Frank Dunn was done in

580
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:20,640
for doing something Frank Dunn didn't do. Dang, And then

581
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:26,000
another lesson er, Mechanics sixty six, detected something fishy in

582
00:33:26,079 --> 00:33:30,359
that bar seed. I lived on Maui for sixteen years.

583
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:34,720
When I first moved there, I worked on tour boats.

584
00:33:34,759 --> 00:33:39,039
One of the things I learned was the state fish

585
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,720
for the spiel we'd give the tourists. Therefore, I can

586
00:33:42,759 --> 00:33:47,880
tell you that not only did Milt and Danny pronounce

587
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:53,160
it wrong, it's not authentic cuisine. It's not it's not

588
00:33:53,279 --> 00:33:59,720
considered edible, let alone served in restaurants, especially on the mainland,

589
00:34:00,559 --> 00:34:06,039
and he topped out the correct pronunciation. If I tried

590
00:34:06,079 --> 00:34:09,760
to read it, though, I would be sounding it out phonetically.

591
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:15,239
It would sound worse and probably more inaccurate. But I

592
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:19,840
appreciate this sort of local knowledge. I guess I can

593
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:24,400
see two possibilities for how it would have worked in

594
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:28,599
the episode. First is that the writers are having some

595
00:34:29,079 --> 00:34:34,199
private joke that themselves and maybe a limited number of

596
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:39,800
other people might get or just writing an obscure joke like, Hey,

597
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:43,519
we're going to have this club owner boast about serving

598
00:34:43,559 --> 00:34:47,480
a fish that's not edible, and it's funny because you

599
00:34:47,599 --> 00:34:50,719
can't serve the fish. Well, it's not funny if you

600
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:55,480
don't know it. The other option, though, is that the

601
00:34:55,519 --> 00:35:00,360
writers wrote something and didn't get their facts right. So

602
00:35:00,519 --> 00:35:04,239
those are the two or three possibilities I see, and

603
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,679
I'll leave it to the discretion and imagination of listeners

604
00:35:08,199 --> 00:35:12,039
to decide which they would believe. Over on YouTube on

605
00:35:12,199 --> 00:35:16,480
the Earl Loss and Murder case, have a comment from

606
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:22,559
a listener who writes, six hour developing that was amazing,

607
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:28,280
especially back then, of course, when and I appreciate the comment.

608
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,480
Of course, when I was growing up, the big thing

609
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:35,800
was one hour developing. And I remember, I think we

610
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:40,000
were I was about six, and we met a lady

611
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,679
who ended up becoming a big friend of the family,

612
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:48,960
and she had a polaroid camera and took a picture

613
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:54,400
and it came out instantly, and I was utterly amazed. Now,

614
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,599
one of these days I'm going to have to talk

615
00:35:56,639 --> 00:36:00,960
to my son and explain that pictures did always just

616
00:36:01,039 --> 00:36:06,119
become available immediately as soon as you take him definitely

617
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:11,760
some changes in photographic technology over the years. Eric writes,

618
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:15,679
I'm lukewarm on broadways my beat as a whole, but

619
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:21,599
Tartaglia has become one of my favorite secondary slash sidekick

620
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:25,320
characters that has been featured on your show. After listening

621
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:29,559
to your discussion about advertising during the Casey Crime Photographer

622
00:36:29,639 --> 00:36:33,599
thanks Giving special, I started to think maybe a little

623
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:37,480
too much about his segment's placement in the show. We

624
00:36:37,519 --> 00:36:40,880
don't have the ad breaks in these recordings, but it

625
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:45,599
seems clear to me that the Tartaglia segments must come

626
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:50,760
after the major commercial break. Tartaglia's voice is different than

627
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:57,280
anyone else's on the show, nasal sharply accented upbeat with

628
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:02,159
a slightly running esque speace pattern. This distinct voice would

629
00:37:02,159 --> 00:37:04,840
be an audio clue to people to start paying attention

630
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:09,599
to the radio. The themes themselves offer a little dialogue

631
00:37:09,599 --> 00:37:13,079
that is disconnected with the action and some important parts

632
00:37:13,079 --> 00:37:16,320
of the story, giving people a chance to settle back in.

633
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:21,400
They then point Danny towards the second half action. He's

634
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:26,639
more than a great character, He's a useful structural device. Well, Eric,

635
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:30,960
I appreciate those thoughts on Tartaglia. Now, I will say

636
00:37:31,079 --> 00:37:38,480
that the network recordings we have aren't missing commercial breaks.

637
00:37:38,519 --> 00:37:41,960
I do believe we've had a couple that have been sponsored,

638
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:46,519
but for the most part these were aired as sustaining

639
00:37:46,639 --> 00:37:53,360
episodes on CBS, with the only commercials being CBS promos

640
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:58,000
and PSAs. But I do think that there is something

641
00:37:58,039 --> 00:38:00,840
to what you said. Now, I don't think they had

642
00:38:01,039 --> 00:38:07,239
some sort of inflexible rule, because I believe you'll find episodes.

643
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:11,920
You'll certainly find episodes where Tartaglia appears in the first

644
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:17,039
half and there may be somewhere just something extraordinary in

645
00:38:17,079 --> 00:38:21,400
the plot he doesn't lead off the second half. But

646
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,760
I do think that a lot of episodes that certainly

647
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:28,519
the case, and it does work well, which would make

648
00:38:28,559 --> 00:38:32,920
it a very odd thing if nobody actually gave any

649
00:38:33,039 --> 00:38:36,039
thought to it. So there's probably something to that.

650
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 8: Eric.

651
00:38:36,599 --> 00:38:39,480

00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,639
Speaker 6: What statue of the child Jesus? Do you have what

663
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:24,280
we could look at? Sure?

664
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,199
Speaker 16: No, you're a larger one. You don't want a larger

665
00:39:38,199 --> 00:39:40,000
one unless it's pret a church. That's why you want

666
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:40,679
a larger one.

667
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 6: Could we see it? Please?

668
00:39:50,079 --> 00:39:52,280
Speaker 16: Not my due to butt in. Unless you're live in

669
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:53,880
a big place. This will make your living room all

670
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,840
the counter. Yes, most of the people who go to

671
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,519
the Mission Church trade here, good, many of them, specially

672
00:39:59,519 --> 00:40:03,159
to kids. White kids more religious. Check on yourself, see

673
00:40:03,159 --> 00:40:05,599
if kids are on more religious than you might be.

674
00:40:05,639 --> 00:40:07,960
So that's what's wrong in the world. Oh, I don't

675
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:09,559
mean you're wrong with it? And everybody?

676
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:11,199
Speaker 6: Yes, sir, What if we could take to the point,

677
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:12,199
mister Flavan.

678
00:40:12,079 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 16: Sure a lot of people from the Mission Church come

679
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:14,320
in here.

680
00:40:14,519 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 6: Do people ever come in and sell back a religious

681
00:40:16,559 --> 00:40:17,920
article like a prayer?

682
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 16: Book or rosaries, Yes, sir, second hand you mean, yes, sir,

683
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,760
not since I ever been around. It's silly why people

684
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:26,639
don't have religious articles so they can get rid of them.

685
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:27,840
They have them so they can happen.

686
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 3: But if a man had a statue and wanted to

687
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:31,360
sell it, he'd come to a place like.

688
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 6: This, sure, but he wouldn't want to sell it. He

689
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:34,400
would if it was stolen.

690
00:40:34,599 --> 00:40:37,039
Speaker 16: No, sir, if a man wanted to steal a statue,

691
00:40:37,039 --> 00:40:39,400
he'd be crazy or something like that. The only place

692
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:41,159
he'd want to go is where crazy people are.

693
00:40:41,519 --> 00:40:42,800
Speaker 6: You may be right, mister Flant.

694
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:44,519
Speaker 16: I don't know what you fellas are looking for. But

695
00:40:44,559 --> 00:40:46,599
if it's somebody who stole the statue, he's crazy and

696
00:40:46,639 --> 00:40:48,800
you won't find him. You won't find him as long.

697
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 6: As you live or in a million years. That should

698
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:52,119
cover it.

699
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,760
Speaker 1: I hope you'll be with us then in the meantime,
