Broadways My Beat with Larry Thor as Detective Danny Kloberg,
the pallor of the long day ebbs. Finally from Broadway,
what had been sallow and gray is a sudden scarlet
where drabness was, where surfaces were drained of color. There
is a glitter, now silvery, darted through with splinters of
neon light. And at this edge of twilight, the shock
gathers waits for the revelers. The sryhing wind draws them
into it, one by one, from the long corridors, from
hall bedrooms, from the embrace of solitude. They drift, they run,
they whirl to the dancing of the wind, and shock waits,
and shock comes and answer a call from Spanish column.
In the barrio, in a room of cracked and dusting plaster,
there's lurid and grotesque and somehow of a piercing and
dread beauty. A dwarf who set on a cop carrying

is this the home of Beef Hunter? Yes, I've been
phoning here all evening, which lends itself nicely to coincidence.
I haven't answered the phone all evening? And why am
I dangling this intelligence in front of you? Who are
you very well? So that we may have some basis
for rappor identification. I'm a believer in it, Hunter. And
since you mentioned Eve and added tidbit, we were plucked
from the same parents. Therefore we had the same face
and I and her brother let's go in slide sholemn
mischief that tell me? Please do tell me she's dead,
mister Hunter. I'm here, please to study How did Eve die?
I suppose you'd call it by stabbing with a steel
barb that bullpier, So you's right, agree for a sister,
mister c how is it done? Wailing and gnashing your
teeth and saying no, no, saying this is a dream, protesting,
saying I don't believe it, and you're a liar. Or
this way, hold the cup at arms length toward eternity,
and wish a happy journey and rest. I want you
to tell me something about your sister, mister hunter, look around,
your mister clover at this room and share her with me.
You a stranger and I a stranger. Those things in
the wall, andrias again, andrias photographs, will fights, glances, and
here Terrero's costume given to hereby and admire own, and
here the ear of bull dedications. What kind of woman
was my sisters? You tell me? A seeker? I'm so
a stranger to everyone. To me, I hardly knew it.
She wondered, I wondered. She had her places to see
and taste, my min. I learned that your sister spent
a good deal of time in Spain. How about yourself?
I've been in Spain, but mostly after our parents died.
I traveled all about South America a symnabe. And who
killed your sisters? Ah? The question distilled from the banter,
the essence squeezed from situation. Who killed my sister? I
don't know, but this, yes, there was a phone call
this afternoon. My sister spoke in Spanish, then she got dressed,
went up. I'm afraid that's all this morsel from me
to a detective this parting, Yeah, right right in here.
This gentleman wants to see you, mister Klover.
Speaker 4: While I was waiting for you, just came over on
the squad car radio. What did fuen sinto room around
the barrio? He's supposed to put in an appearance a
little nightclub on one hundred and twelve.
Speaker 2: Let's go, so ride a scream up to the barrio
through the night streets of the night crowd, where the
glitter ebbs off and the grayness take a turn and
uptown again, and the barrio slides in to meet you.
The people of the stop on the cushion of the
window sill. The lights somehow always dimmer, shadows, more custard.
That's it. Then down the street and problem.
Speaker 6: Then Danny, look what there was.
Speaker 2: To see was in the center of a small dance floor,
under the single light, the slim figure of a man,
his face somehow tortured, a man holding a sword and
spinning his silken and scarlet claw. And now with slow grace,
now in a fury of movement and the watchers in
the shadows. It's one sad seen anything like that. Watch
what's the way he handles the sword and the muleta.
Speaker 4: On sinto He's calling out the cape passes he makes
in the arena.
Speaker 2: Before he kills the bull. Look at it.
Speaker 3: Bobby of the Bit.
Speaker 2: Said, what did Something's happened to him? Bout this? Come on,
let us see a Florida flora instead. Okay, the blood,
it's just like you've been goored by a bull.
Speaker 10: You are listening to Broadways My Be written by Martin
Fine and David Freakin and starring Larry Thor as Detective
Danny Clover.
Speaker 6: And now a message from the Veterans Administration. Why the
Veterans Administration? Well, because one of the days a lot
of you servicemen will be out of the Armed forces,
back home again as veterans, ready to apply for education
and training under the Korean gi Bill. Well, the VA
has all the answers to that. Here are a few
to tuck away for future reference. You may want a
high school diploma or a college degree, or maybe you'd
like to become a doctor, or a lawyer, or perhaps
a carpenter. Or a machinist. The choice is pretty much
up to you. You select your own training program, and
if they're willing to enroll you, you pick your own school.
But if you want to take a course that's usually
considered to be recreational in character, you'll have to show
the VA that it will contribute to your future career.
As for courses say in dancing, bartending, and personality development,
they'll never be approved by the VA under any circumstances.
So keep those things in mind, fellows for use later on.
Speaker 2: You listen close to Broadway and you hear it, the
measured thrumming of the spectaculars that echo off into the night,
and its cadence is the beat of a mechanical and
metallic heart. This is the rhythm assigned to Broadway. It's
muted song, it's dance, and it rhymes well with a
whisper or a plea or a cry, the gaudy talk
and shouts and the hawker's tune. So lean into it
and listen, and the sound you get is a scream
deep from your own throat. When the clatter dies and
the night is done and sleeping is done, it's work.
Time checking in time, start a new daytime. So go
to your office and wait, wait for an autopsy report
on one THINKO, can I come in, Denny? I got
anything from me?
Speaker 11: Sergeant autose report Danny from doctor Gonzalez.
Speaker 2: No, what do you find? Oh, it's true that one Shinto.
Speaker 11: Died while there was no one name, and the doctor
has determined how that happened. Well, the bull fighter was
shot where were you in the day, bullet removed by
an amateur, causing damage, and the wound dressed like many
bullfighters have their wounds dressed, and was stuffed with gauze.
One systel knew he was dying, the doctor believes, and
sure enough the exertions of his mark fight which you witnessed.
Speaker 2: Did judge that killed him? Yeah? What are you thinking? Then?
I think someone found Eve Hunter and Cinto in that
room in the barrier, killed miss Hunter and thought he'd
killed Sinto and the killer ran. Yeah, the dwarf cad this,
came back to his room and saw what had happened,
extracted the bullet and banded Cinto's wounds the way he'd
done a lot of times before, then hid Sinto someplace.
That's what I think. That's why we're holding him. Yes, oh,
come in, please sit down, Sergeant Protagonia, Senor Nicholas Manacho,
all right, how do you do?
Speaker 11: I was just going out for coffee, Senor, anything I
can get for your poor Pavoi.
Speaker 6: Well, why everybody?
Speaker 2: What can I do for you? Senor?
Speaker 12: As managed it? And then the great sins of I
wish to make the necessary arrangements for that remains to
be sent practice.
Speaker 2: Of India for Berry. That will be arranged, Senor Manactual. See,
I want your opinion on the death of once centur.
Speaker 12: I will explain last night, this tragedy he played out
until it's been other typical of his greatness of his
I don't understand so many times he has looked at
death in the arena, and so he wished to embrace
his path as a matador, as a killer of bull
in the tragedy of last.
Speaker 2: Night, he died a matador. Why didn't he say who
killed him? To admit that he died because another man
had given him death would be shameful to him. Did
you kill him, Senor? I did not. Did you kill
a hunter? No? I think his wife could have murdered him.
You are a fool, But she did have motive for
killing ave hunter.
Speaker 12: At your service, whenever you wish to talk with me
of the arrangements for the body of one system, I
will speak no more.
Speaker 2: The foolish stick down the house in your room three twelve.
Detective Magavin will take care of him. That's Go back
now to the Laurama Hotel. Ask for the Senora Sinto
be told she had gone out for the afternoon. The
Spanish language theater or Cabre, one hundred and sixteenth Street
off Lennox. When you get there, the wind torn posters
blazing with one into the dorman announcing in English and Spanish.
They all along New Israel in memory of a dead Matador,
and inside the scattering of afternoon, wondering what the one s.
Speaker 4: Cornback one and.
Speaker 2: Against the darkness and the puppet image of her dead husband.
The light of the old film spangles across the face
of a woman whose beauty you would have found in
any shadow place.

Speaker 8: That is fun position from me, Marie.
Speaker 2: I want to talk to you.

I knew you could have killed her for that. You
could have killed once into I.
Speaker 8: Totally because of such as this girl. There were many
for yet always there.
Speaker 2: Was still you could have killed him.
Speaker 8: I did not kill the girl because she was pleasing
to an into what pleased him. I could not kill.

Speaker 8: Rum And I knew one.
Speaker 9: One brought him to me, said to me, this is
my father and my brother Almania.
Speaker 8: Smile on him. Smile on Nicholas.

because he was jealous of one's famous woman.
Speaker 8: You have seen Nicholas to kid, then you know what
