Speaker 3: When it gets inside bottles of squirt.
Speaker 1: Anything else, well, I couldn't find much more about squirt fruit,
but I learned a lot about squirt.
Speaker 4: It's a natural soft.
Speaker 5: Drink with no artificial colors or flavors.
Speaker 3: I guess it makes sense to.
Speaker 4: Call grapefruit squirt fruit.
Speaker 5: Maybe they should put squirt fruit.
Speaker 4: In the dictionary.
Speaker 5: Also, I like squirt very much.
Speaker 2: Very good, Jimmy, Now, class, it's time for music appreciation.
Speaker 1: Oh the grapefrit don't grow on a vine. It ain't

Speaker 6: The CBS Radio Mystery Theater resents.
Speaker 7: Come in.
Speaker 4: Welcome, I'm E. G. Marshall.
Speaker 6: Welcome to another hour of Mystery and suspense to an
incredible tale of terror among the world famous granite statues
of the secluded Minotti Sculpture Garden in the forbidding foothills
of the Colorado Rockies. The silence of the night is
suddenly pierced by the frantic cries of a woman inside
the caretaker's cottage trying to call the police.
Speaker 3: I'm the police, Hourry, Please pease, God dear Allan Horas Hourry.
Speaker 8: No man all right, caretaker's cottage? Please, hoy, where's the
caretaker patrol?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 7: I ran here, the door was open.
Speaker 8: Please please hurry from what are the statues?
Speaker 4: A statue of man?
Speaker 5: And I touched it?
Speaker 8: His han Rachel judged my back and called my name.
Speaker 9: He touched me.
Speaker 8: The statue touched me, Houry, Please please.
Speaker 6: Our mystery drama, Taken for Granite, was written especially for
the Mystery Theater by Hank Warner and stars Howard da Silva.
It is sponsored in part by a Buick Motor Division
and by the Florida Orange Growers. I'll be back shortly
with that one.
Speaker 5: It's your health and you should know.
Speaker 3: Doctor Thomas E.
Speaker 9: Bryant, present of the Drug Abuse Council in Washington, DC
brings you these important facts about the mixed use of drugs.
Speaker 10: The most serious health consequences associated with heavy drug use
in America today come with the indiscriminate mixing of different
drugs said OfTI is followed by stimulants mixing alcohol with
sleep inducing pills like barbacurrates. These are the really dangerous
drugs because they kill and overdoses are so often fatal. Yet,
the problem is not really the drugs themselves, but with
why they are taken. It is this underlying need or
desire to escape or to feel different that leads to
trouble with the drugs. The most pressing need is for
preventing measures. Awareness alone is not enough, though it is important.
People need alternatives to drugs to make them feel good,
to make and feel life is worthwhile, to relieve their
depression and their apathy. Supplying realistic alternatives to drugs is
a challenge not just for the health professions, but for
all of society.
Speaker 4: It's your health.
Speaker 6: Here's a tip from your Better Business Bureau on the
metric system. You know, the worldwide trend today is toward
a universal system of measurement.
Speaker 4: The metric system.
Speaker 6: The names of this new system may sound strange to
you at first, but fortunately there are only a few
words that have to be learned for everyday use, and
these are the millimeter, centimeter, meter, and kilometer for describing
length and distance, the millimeter and leader for capacity or volume,
the gram, kilogram and ton for weight, the kilometer per
hour for highway speed, and the degree celsius or centigrade
for temperature.
Speaker 3: You're already using some of these terms more.
Speaker 4: Than you may realize.
Speaker 6: For example, when you go to the supermarket, you see
weights expressed in gram us on more and more packaged items.
Now for more information on this whole matrix system, right
to Metric Information Office, National Bureau of Standards, Washington, d C.
Let us join the group of tourists in the charter
bus parked in front of the Hotel Barrett in Barrettsville,
a Colorado mountain resort. They are waiting, cheerfully.
Speaker 4: And unaware, unaware that the one member of.
Speaker 6: The group who has not yet bored at the bus
is doomed if she shows up in time to take
the last ride of her life.
Speaker 3: Attention, please, are.
Speaker 4: We all here now?
Speaker 2: We should be twenty four yes, two four.
Speaker 3: Six eight, ten miles.

I ought to go see.
Speaker 5: What's keeping her.
Speaker 4: Oh, here she is coming out of the hotel.
Speaker 9: Hurry, hurry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 7: I get in, Get in.
Speaker 2: Always excuses, okay, John we go. Angelo Manafi was born
in Florence, Italy, at the age of twenty.
Speaker 4: His genius as.
Speaker 6: The sculptor was discovered.
Speaker 4: By Silent Barrett, the eccentric.
Speaker 2: Gold mining villionaire and art collector, who brought Manafi here.
Speaker 3: After working for.
Speaker 2: Fifteen years, Manati completed his monumental work.
Speaker 3: More than fifty life sides new branded.
Speaker 2: Figures depicting the universal life cycle of mankind from infancy
to death at old age. We are almost there, about
a half mile up this side road. The sculpture garden
was open to the public for less than one year
until Silas Barrett's young wife and Angelo Manavi mysteriously disappeared.
Silas Barrett ordered the garden clothes for as long as he.
Speaker 5: Lived twelve years.
Speaker 2: The sculptures of the parkland were bequeathed to Barrett College,
with a proviso that permission to visit the sculpture garden
could be granted only by the Chairman of the Fine
Arts Department, currently doctor Janis Kellerman.
Speaker 3: Oh here we are now.
Speaker 2: Please remain in the bus everyone until the gates.
Speaker 4: Are open park referred.
Speaker 2: Are you the caretaker papri Frontoni.
Speaker 5: Manor hey?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 11: Doctor Kellerman phoned me. You were on your way, Lord,
would you like me to escort you?
Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you, But that won't be necessary.
Speaker 2: Really, Doctor Kellerman gave me these pamphlets about the exhibits.
Speaker 11: As you wish, Senora. If you should need me, I
will be in my cottage. I must lock the gates.
Speaker 8: Are there any other gates?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 12: This is the only gate.
Speaker 13: There's an iron fence all around the bark. When you're ready,
your driver can blow a horn. I'll come back in
my jeep. It's not far from my cottage here, thank you.
Speaker 4: Oh dear me, it's clouding up.
Speaker 7: Do you think it will rain?
Speaker 11: Could be maybe thunder sharp homosor i'lga.
Speaker 5: So you can see on.
Speaker 2: Your pamphlet the diagram of the exhibits. Now we will
go down this broadcast to the self sculpture of the
Naughty at work, then along the groupings of the life
Michael statues, then to the fountains. The exhibits are numbered
and explained. Behind the curtain of walker falling over the
brim of the huge saucer shaped bowl are seven male
figures straining to support the saucers, some straining with greater
effort than others, reflecting Minati philosophy that not all members.
Speaker 3: Of society are equally burdened. Oh oh, we've got to
hurry back to up.
Speaker 2: Come, hurry, hurry, everyone, hurry for seven.
Speaker 3: Thanks.
Speaker 11: Oh we're just in time.
Speaker 3: In the bus. In the bus, closed the door.

Speaker 4: We've better start back.
Speaker 2: Oh oh my, now let's see are we over here?
Speaker 3: Twenty two? Twenty three?
Speaker 2: Oh no, miss Masterson again, Oh this is too up,
this is tuber Give me now, Signora, I shall open
the gates. What if our group is missing?
Speaker 3: Did you see her?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 4: My, young lady, I didn't see anyone.
Speaker 7: You want me to look for her?
Speaker 4: What's her name?
Speaker 3: Helen Matterson?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 6: No, no, no, wait, do you have a telephone?
Speaker 4: Telephone?
Speaker 12: Yes, Signora, in my honage.
Speaker 4: I'm a teacher of blessing.
Speaker 1: We will not wait.
Speaker 7: She can telephone for.
Speaker 4: A cab and pay for it herself.
Speaker 7: It's opened the gate.
Speaker 3: Please are you sure? Please unlock the gate? Anyone here?
Speaker 2: Hello, hello, go here man?
Speaker 7: You are so well you're shivering. Did you get lost?
Speaker 3: Yes, I missed the bark.
Speaker 7: Come close to the fire. I will put more wood off.
Speaker 11: Oh you are cold.
Speaker 7: Would you like some brads here here drinking?
Speaker 4: It will warm you.
Speaker 14: Thank you.
Speaker 7: Oh, your clothes they are very wet.
Speaker 4: I have a warm robe.
Speaker 11: You go into the other room and take off your
wet clothes. We will hang them by the fire until
they dry.
Speaker 7: Your clothes are.
Speaker 11: Not dry yet, Maurice presto, you can try it with
a little more brad.
Speaker 2: Oh yes please, It's just such a charming room.
Speaker 4: I just love these animal figures, the.
Speaker 14: Frog, the turtle, that cat.
Speaker 11: Yes, simply magnificent.
Speaker 4: Who did them?
Speaker 5: Manati?
Speaker 7: Manati?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 7: No? I made? I am the creator? You do you?
You are surprised. I understand you.
Speaker 11: Wonder how Pietro can do it with only one good hand.
Speaker 2: No oh, I'm sorry I didn't realize you had all right, Look.
Speaker 11: Three fingers on my right hand are no good crushed.
They can no longer hold a hammer crushed. But a
long time ago, when I came to this country, I
was an apprentice to Manati. A big block of granite
fell on my hand and crushed my fingers.
Speaker 6: Oh what a terrible accident.
Speaker 7: It was no accident.
Speaker 11: Menati was careless, careless. But sometimes I think he was
not so careless. I think he knew what he was doing.
Speaker 2: But why why really let something like that happen?
Speaker 11: Because he was jealous. He knew mister Barrett liked my work.
He heard him say so many times. O Manati, he
was a great genius. Birth he said, asen mister Barrett
and Manati they built this cottage and made me caretaker. Here,
as you can see, I am still caretaker.
Speaker 4: But you are an artist.
Speaker 2: These animal figures, if you don't carve them, how do
you make.
Speaker 6: Them look like sculptures?
Speaker 4: I just adore this turtle.
Speaker 7: You like the turtle? Here for you to take it
a present?
Speaker 12: Thank you?
Speaker 2: I just love it.
Speaker 11: You are an art student. You are sympatical. I will
show you my secret secret. Come, I will show you
my workshop.
Speaker 7: In here as studio.
Speaker 4: What are these machine?
Speaker 11: This one crushes stone? Makes granite chips. This is a
grinder to grind the chips and make the granite like sand.
The turtle feel how heavy it is like stone, but
not solid stone. I will show you.
Speaker 7: I take the.
Speaker 11: Granite sand, I mix in very thin lacqua like this
in a blender. I put the mixture in the paint sprayer.
So put a real live turtle on the table like this.
Speaker 7: Ah, you watch and you will see stray show.
Speaker 11: Now it is wet. I sprinkle a little bit of
dry powder. It will soon dry and look like before,
but a little bit heavier.
Speaker 2: Oh, and geese and the frog, the cat, the dog,
the birds, same.
Speaker 5: Technique, mostly the same.
Speaker 11: I speriment sometimes with taxidermy before I use the spray.
Speaker 4: Well, this has been a real pleasure.
Speaker 3: Mister Friendzoni.
Speaker 4: My clothes must be quite dry by.
Speaker 7: Now, Masterson, what is it?
Speaker 11: May I ask about your arts school? What have you
ever modeled at the school?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 3: And then why?
Speaker 11: If you will forgive me, miss Masterson, I can tell,
even with the robe bond, that you have a most
beautiful body. Thank you.
Speaker 3: It really is rather average.
Speaker 7: No, no, it is beautiful. Please do not be offended.
Speaker 11: I would like if you will permit me to make
a plastic cast of you please as a remembrance.
Speaker 2: Yes, very sweet, mister Franzoni.
Speaker 6: But I really must be getting back to town.
Speaker 15: If you call me a cab, we're all going to.
Speaker 4: A square dance after Why I beg you please?
Speaker 13: Why a cast of my body?
Speaker 6: I will take too long? Why not a death?
Speaker 7: Now?
Speaker 11: I work fast, It will not take long. Then I
will drive you back to your hotel.
Speaker 3: What will you do with the plastic can?
Speaker 11: I will reassemble the sections and spray the entire cast
with my granite solution. It will be the centerpiece of
my first exhibition.
Speaker 14: Well if it really won't take tea?
Speaker 11: Oh, thank you, Miss Masterson, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2: Good morning, doctor Kellumn. I'm sorry to.
Speaker 3: Trouble you, not at all at all.
Speaker 7: What can I do for you?
Speaker 6: Could you our group enjoy the visit of the Minati Garden?
Speaker 4: Too bad it rained? Or would you have some quite yeah?
Speaker 11: No, no, no, no, thank you.
Speaker 4: You've seen him upset.
Speaker 2: I'm afraid I am quite upset. Why one member of
our group, miss Masterson, Helen Masterson, is which is missing?
She didn't come back on the bus with us.
Speaker 6: Miss Manorhoff are you telling me you left her there,
actually left her there, I'm afraid.
Speaker 2: So I'm afraid something terrible may have happened.
Speaker 6: Our horrified doctor Killeman has our sympathy.
Speaker 4: We can understand his agitation.
Speaker 6: All he probably can imagine is that another mysterious disappearance
inside the sculpture Garden will revive the notoriety and scandal
of the still unsolved mystery of missus Barrett and Angela Menotti.
As for miss Masterson, it does seem that for the
role of a devotee of art for art's sake, she
is well cast.
Speaker 4: I'll be back shortly with that too. This is Jack Lemon.
Speaker 6: If you are a parent of one of America's seven
million handicapped children, you know how hard it can be
to get straight information, especially about special education for your child. Now,
the United States Office of Education has a special service
that gathers information especially for parents of handicapped children. The
service is called Closer Look. Just right to Closer Look
Box fourteen ninety two, Washington, d C.
Speaker 4: Two one three.
Speaker 6: They'll send you all sorts of free information, including information
about the rights of handicapped children, about special education, about
what facilities are available in your area and about parents
groups that can help you. Now, Closer Look can't solve
all your problems, but they can give you information that helps.
So if you have a child with any kind of handicap,
write Closer Look Box fourteen.
Speaker 4: Ninety two, Washington, d C.
Speaker 7: Two one three.
Speaker 6: A public service message by this station in the United
States Office of Education. Great the word that sends gold
chills to many people of the world. The shifting tremblinger,
balling outlets glass debris are a constant threat a threat
to life and property for many countries, including the United States,
and should an earthquake or other natural disaster occur, there
are relief organizations to help, like your American Red Cross,
always reaching out to people in trouble. The Red Cross
Disaster program meets the urgent needs of victims immediately after
a disaster or in advance of a potential crisis. Red
Cross help provides food, clothing, shelter, health services, and other
basic elements for comfort and survival. It uses all available resources,
in addition to its own, to provide that vital.
Speaker 4: Aid, always there, always ready.
Speaker 6: Ever extending a helping hand, just like a good neighbor.
Speaker 4: And that's what we are. Your American Red Cross.
Speaker 6: Doctor Kellerman faces a dilemma. Recovering from the first shock
of being told that a missing tourist was last seen
inside the sculpture garden. He must decide whether to call
in the sheriff at once or further question Miss Maplehoff himself.
He is decided on the latter, which puts him at
a decided disadvantage. After all, the curriculum of his fine
arts department could hardly include a course in the fine
art of murder. I simply cannot understand why you left
her there. It's a totally irresponsible acting this matter.
Speaker 4: I know, I know I shouldn't have.
Speaker 2: I asked friend Zoni if he would call a cab
for her to take her back to town.
Speaker 4: Doctor, I'm afraid I was very annoyed. But she was
not at breakfast this morning.
Speaker 16: I asked the hotel manager to check her.
Speaker 4: Room just before I called you. Her room had not
been slept in.
Speaker 5: Well, that is strange.
Speaker 2: Will it happened several times on our tour, going off
on her own to dinner and not sleeping in her
own room, but she has always showed up at breakfast.
Speaker 6: Well, I suggest we approached this in orderly fashion. Yes, first,
let me call the caretaker. You can listen on the extension.
Speaker 7: Thank you.
Speaker 4: Ah, Hello, this is doctor Kellerman. Pietro.
Speaker 5: Good morning, doctor, good morning. Listen carefully.
Speaker 6: Pietro Greta, the guide on the bus yesterday, is in
my office listening on an extension.
Speaker 4: Now I have some questions.
Speaker 6: Yes, doctor Kellerman, did you see a young lady, miss
Masterson after the bus left?
Speaker 11: Oh? Yes, oh, yes, miss Masterson. She came to the
cottage in the rain. She said she lost her way.
She was very, very wet. She was here a short
while until her clothes dried in front of the fire.
Speaker 7: Well did you call a cab for her?
Speaker 11: I tried, but the line was busy. I was afraid
she would get sick, so I drove her back to town.
Speaker 7: In the jeep.
Speaker 4: Well did you drive her to the hotel? Are you there, Pietro?
Speaker 12: Did you hear me?
Speaker 5: Did you drive her to the hotel?
Speaker 11: It stopped raining when we got to She said she
wanted to do some shopping. I let her out on
main Street near the hotel. Yes, and then I stopped
at a drug store for aspirin. I bought a bottle
of GIANTI at the supermarket and drove back here.
Speaker 4: Well, thank you, Petro.
Speaker 12: Huh there you heard?
Speaker 17: Yes, I heard.
Speaker 4: I had better phone the sheriff.
Speaker 7: Did you hear, Miss Masterson? Doctor Kellerman? He just called me.
Speaker 11: Greta was listening. They are wondering where you are, what
happened to you? What could I tell them, Miss Masterson?
That you died in the cast, That while I was
putting the plaster of Paris on your face, some of
it got into your nose, and that I went to
make some fresh espresso while the cast was drying and
you died. It was not an accident, missus Masterson.
Speaker 7: I was careless, curless. That's all we know, Sheriff. But
I told you on the phone.
Speaker 4: Unless mismaller, no, I.
Speaker 2: Can't think of anything else, Sheriff.
Speaker 14: By way down there, I checked drug store and liquor
store away here. They both confirmed Beatro's story.
Speaker 4: Well I never doubted it, Sheriff.
Speaker 14: That's routine. Well, yes, you might as well put out
in our parts bullet in a very description.
Speaker 2: I should tell my home office if she is missing,
they'll want to alert her her parents in Columbus.
Speaker 6: I'd better be getting back to the bus. I'll see
you to the elevator. I'll be right back, sheriff. We
look forward to another visit with an art group soon.
Speaker 2: We plan to to kill him minute. Oh you have
a magnificent sculpture garden.
Speaker 4: Thank you, goodbye, Thanks again, goodbye.
Speaker 5: She's gone.
Speaker 4: What's on your mind?
Speaker 3: Doctor?
Speaker 4: What you're sweating by? Her clothes? Her bags?
Speaker 5: Why she left them at the hotel.
Speaker 14: Yeah, that's not good, doctor. She doesn't show up the
hotel by three o'clock. I'll go over her room with manager.
Maybe a node of clue letters.
Speaker 4: You know, I am so upset about this here. If
you do know, I understand she must be found.
Speaker 11: Now.
Speaker 6: It's taken years to live down the mystery of Sarah
Barrett and Manatti. Who know that we can't afford to
have that revived, particularly now that the Chamber of Commerce
wants the garden reopened to the general public as a
tourist attraction.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well we'll do this.
Speaker 14: We can go now California. After I see the hotel manager.
Speaker 4: Kellman speaking Jefftown.
Speaker 3: But just going over Ms.
Speaker 14: Masterson's room, got a thing. Oh no, no letters closed
bag still here looks bad.
Speaker 3: Gosh, I was.
Speaker 7: Afraid of that.
Speaker 14: Our phone manor Hof tonight at the broad More guarding
Perry's schedule.
Speaker 3: Group will be leaving there in the morning.
Speaker 5: Yes, she better be told.
Speaker 14: Thank you, Ben, you'd like to see this doc. It's
the newspaper clipping. I got the mayor this morning from
the police chief in Columbus.
Speaker 6: Ohigh, think you're mister and Missus Homer Masterson of Rosewood
Heights reported today to police Chief John Murray that their
daughter Helen has been missing for the past two weeks.
Missus Masterson is reported to have disappeared during a chartered
bus tour about exhibits in the West.
Speaker 4: Well, these things have to come.

your fingers crossed. Well, thanks for.

Speaker 11: I'll see you later, doctor Larson. Ah, Dr Larson, you've

Speaker 7: Feel it with it?
Speaker 14: It looks like like something made out of a skin suit.
Speaker 11: That's rise a rubber skin suit like divers use. The
outside covered with granite powder sprayed on with lacquer. Incredible
is it? I put on a skin suit. It covers
my whole body, also my head and face. Then I
spray set up a camera for time exposure. The photograph
you see, it's me. It's a joke, like the Larson,
a joke.
Speaker 7: I have fun.

Speaker 11: Miss Masterson, you believe me, yes, I only want to
make a cast so you are not lonesome. Miss Masterson.
Speaker 6: It seems our young man didn't quite believe in art
for art's sake, or was he simply one of those
social drinkers who can't take even a small glass of
wine without getting plastered. I'll be back shortly without three.
I'm High Brown, producer at Mystery Theater. This month, we
and Walt Disney World are giving sixteen lucky people a
week of thrilling entertainment at Walt Disney World near Orlando, Florida.

heart is in the right place.
Speaker 6: He realizes that man and some women cannot live happily alone,
so he has created a companion piece for miss Masterson.
Speaker 4: As for distraught doctor.
Speaker 6: Kellerman, a thing of beauty may be a joy forever,
but certainly not in his present state of mind. He
is understandably terribly upset and has just hurried to Talbot's office.
I just got a telephone call Shareff from doctor Harvey Murdach,
curator of the Cincinnati Museum. It seems that his assistant,
doctor Arnold Larson, is two days overdue.
Speaker 4: From his vacation.
Speaker 6: He wanted to know if I had any idea where
he might be. Why you, Oh, yes, I should explain.
Larson visited the Minati Garden about a week ago.
Speaker 4: He paid a courtesy call at my office.
Speaker 6: I had him driven out to the garden and he
didn't come back to Bertrie. No, he was spending his
vacation backpacking and just wanted to stop off to see
the garden.
Speaker 4: He'd never seen it. He'll go on.
Speaker 6: I phoned Pietro to tell him to expect doctor Larson.
And did Pietro seem it didn't occur to me to
ask him if I took it for granted.
Speaker 5: Now, good heavens.
Speaker 4: I hope this is not another missing person's case.
Speaker 3: Why don't we just drive out to see Pietro?
Speaker 7: Oh, doctor kill him, Sheriff Talbot, what a surprise.
Speaker 6: Sheriff Talbot would like to ask you a few questions,
Petro about Dr Larson Larson.
Speaker 11: Oh, yes, doctor Larson, Yes, from the Cincinnati Museum.
Speaker 14: Yeah, was he here the day Doctor Calvin telephoned you to.
Speaker 4: Tell you he was coming.
Speaker 7: Of course, he came here. He enjoyed the garden very much.
Speaker 4: How long was he here?
Speaker 7: Well, let me see. He came about ten o'clock.
Speaker 11: He spent a long time in the garden, came back
to the cottage about three o'clock.
Speaker 14: And he left then three o'clock.
Speaker 11: No, he stayed about one hour. Had doctor pasta and why?
And we talked?
Speaker 7: Nice man. He said he had to go.
Speaker 11: He wanted to get back to the overlook before dawn.
Speaker 7: Camp there.
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, there is camp right there.
Speaker 4: And that was the last time you saw doctor Lawson.
Speaker 7: That is right.
Speaker 5: Is something wrong?
Speaker 6: Something happened to doctor age mission. He should have been
back in Cincinnati two days ago.
Speaker 14: Well, we better get back to town. Get out and
alert to the Ranger Service and the Highway Patrol.
Speaker 11: You here, Dr Larson, Your doctor Murdoch did not find you.
Speaker 7: You stay here with Missus Masterson.
Speaker 11: Soon they will find the backpack I threw down into
the ravine by overlook. They will think you slipped over
the rocks and fell into the river. They look, but
they'll never find you.

the place, and do overall shooting, probably until about about
four o'clock. Then I'd like another session towards dusk sunset,
