Speaker 3: Broadway is my beat with Larry Thor as Detective Danny Clover.

22
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 2: When it's October and the night has slipped down over Broadway,

23
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,560
the street has spangled with autumn strollers. They come here,

24
00:02:30,599 --> 00:02:33,520
the seekers after something or other. Pick a doorway with

25
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,840
promising neon, Pick a smile and run after it. Pick

26
00:02:36,879 --> 00:02:40,000
a postcard right home about it. It's the place to be.

27
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,599
You've got to leave your mark. Buy a turtle and

28
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,560
have your name painted on its back. Buy a necktie,

29
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,680
buy a pillow and send it back to mom. Sometimes

30
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,520
you'll be lucky and get lipstick on your handkerchief. But

31
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,360
the odds say you'll buy a newspaper and go to bed.

32
00:02:54,639 --> 00:03:03,439
But it's Broadway, kid, and you've had it. Where Broadway

33

epps off into the side streets downtown Where I was

00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,159
close to, where I was close to where Eighteenth Street

35
00:03:08,199 --> 00:03:10,919
touches the river. The shock was a thing composed of

36
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,400
crowd and a nighttime sky lit by flame, the elements

37
00:03:14,479 --> 00:03:16,879
later to be noted in police and Fire Department records.

Speaker 2: The flames beating against the night sky, burning and opening

54
00:04:04,319 --> 00:04:07,560
for dawn in the street, the reflected glow darts across

55
00:04:07,599 --> 00:04:09,919
the face of death, holds for an instant, and scurries

56
00:04:09,919 --> 00:04:12,639
at the breath of the October wind. This is the

57
00:04:12,719 --> 00:04:15,719
time of shadows, the brief time, the time for shrouding

58
00:04:15,759 --> 00:04:18,399
of the charred body of a man, the time for

59
00:04:18,519 --> 00:04:23,040
quick gentleness the other man still in anguish, and the

60
00:04:23,079 --> 00:04:24,879
lifting of the men of the vehicle reserved for the

61
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,560
dead and the dying, the closing of a door upon them,

62
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:41,040
the hushed ride that puts an end. Tonight in the

it was arson, what happened to my plant? You got

143
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,440
to think maybe I was the cause of it.

Speaker 4: Look for reasons?

145
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,919

00:09:06,759 --> 00:09:07,480
a mess.

150
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,799
Speaker 2: Mister Russell, or some connection between the arsonist who's found

151
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,399
and a hoodlum named Frankie Crown. Do you know Frankie?

152
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:20,919
Speaker 4: Frankie Crown a hoodlum? Why should I look? Mister, I

153
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,679
didn't ask you into my house, so listen, just asked.

154
00:09:23,799 --> 00:09:24,519
Speaker 11: That's all he did.

155
00:09:24,639 --> 00:09:28,399
Speaker 4: Pap, I don't know him, never heard of him.

156
00:09:28,879 --> 00:09:30,360

159
00:09:39,039 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 11: Brother, little Jimmy hears.

160
00:09:40,759 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 6: Tonight's the night he won't be able to shut me up.

161
00:09:46,639 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 2: And consider the girl for a moment, consider the delight

162
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,600
she had found in a touch of horror upon her,

163
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,720
Then the intrusion of her father's face, stricken with a

164
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,840
sudden fleeting understanding of the girl, then turning to you,

165
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,120
trying to smile, trying to erase the impression his child

166
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:01,519
is made.

167
00:10:01,799 --> 00:10:05,919
Speaker 4: She's suffering a shock. She doesn't understand, mister, she doesn't know.

168
00:10:06,639 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 2: And the girl looks up, laughs at them and leave

169
00:10:10,399 --> 00:10:18,960
them like that. Then to the discrete office of Frankie

170
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,000
Crown in a discreete downtown building dedicated to the deep

171
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,799
understanding of stocks and bonds and the affairs of commerce.

172
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,440
The shiny new setting for Frankie Crown Hoodland Alley, boy

173
00:10:30,039 --> 00:10:33,960
friend of dead Arsonists, and Frankie holds out a discreetly

174
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,960
manicured hand to have it shaken. Only it doesn't happen

175
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:37,480
to him.

176
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 7: Mm hmm.

177
00:10:39,279 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 5: It's your own way, Denny. I thought it would spark

178
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:43,240
something between us.

179
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:47,039
Speaker 2: If you show you're a long way from home, Frankie blessed.

180
00:10:47,279 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 15: That's me, have been blessed. Wipe your hands of the

181
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,679
old life and a new world shivers on horizon waiting

182
00:10:53,919 --> 00:10:57,759
just for you. I got a child then, been any

183
00:10:57,759 --> 00:11:01,559
good fires lately, Frankie now busy busy. Frankie Crown has

184
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,159
been so busy you couldn't conceive. No fires, no street dancers,

185
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,720
no fun anywhere. The penalties are the new life.

186
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:10,759
Speaker 2: Friend of yours was at a fire a loan.

187
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 15: I got crazy friends. They flip over the craziest things.

188
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,799
Speaker 2: Joe Gan Darsonist, friend of yours. Frankie.

189
00:11:18,399 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 15: Somewhere in the back of my brain the name Gant

190
00:11:21,159 --> 00:11:22,919
shivers help me.

191
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,799
Speaker 2: Then the consensus is he set a fire early yesterday

192
00:11:25,799 --> 00:11:28,879
morning at the Russell Chemical Company. He died in it.

193
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,840
You bailed them out once, favored them with your private lawyer,

194
00:11:32,879 --> 00:11:34,879

195
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:36,679

00:11:39,799 --> 00:11:40,279

Speaker 15: I'll get it hard, Denny and such I always said

00:11:59,759 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 2: He's good.

204
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,399
Speaker 5: Boys made my eyes water.

205
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 15: How with my dough and lawyer, Joe gand was going

206
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:06,679

Speaker 15: You're gonna looking for I don't buy that, Danny. I

211
00:12:15,879 --> 00:12:18,399
bought her a place in her old country. She impressed

212
00:12:18,399 --> 00:12:19,919
me so much. As a typical money.

213
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,159
Speaker 2: You close all the doors behind you, don't.

214
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:23,639
Speaker 4: You, Frankie.

215
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 5: The mark of a polite man.

216
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,399
Speaker 2: Because how about the one on George Russell.

217
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,559
Speaker 15: It come over the tape. The Russell plant bourned to

218
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,080
the ground this morning. His car blew up in his

219
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,480

Speaker 2: You get out of there and back to headquarters. Sit

00:12:48,639 --> 00:12:51,440
at your desk and shuffle your thoughts. The coincidence of

224
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,639
a booby trapped car and a fire, A link between

225
00:12:54,639 --> 00:12:59,120
a hoodlum newly respectable and an arsonist newly dead, and

226
00:12:59,159 --> 00:13:01,120
another man a busines this man who had a daughter.

227
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,840
Try to find a category for her. Try to find

228
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,639
Danny Clover, doctor. Since Kim calling from the hospital, how's

00:13:09,799 --> 00:13:10,320

00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:11,759
Speaker 4: Get down here, Danny right away.

231
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,919
Speaker 2: You can go there and the only sound in the

232
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,480
corridor is your footsteps, the sound that hurries toward pain.

233
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:34,840
Open the door and find it. Doctor. He's dead. Danny there,

234
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:38,399
I'm sorry.

235
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,639
Speaker 6: M h m hm.

236
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 10: Oh.

237
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 3: You are listening to Broadway's My Beat, written by Morton

238
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,360
Fine and David Friedkin and starring Larry Thor as Detective

239
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,320
Danny Clover. In Days of Old, when nights were bold,

240
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,519
King Arthur and his Roundtable were the rage. History's not

241
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,919
exactly repeating itself, but the best entertainment of Arthur Godfrey's

242
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:22,240
weekday shows is every Sunday afternoon on King Arthur Godfrey's Roundtable.

243
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,320
Listen for it starting tomorrow afternoon on most of these

244
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:35,480
same stations. King Arthur Godfrey's Roundtable on CBS Radio.

245
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,639
Speaker 2: The October wind shrills through broadways corridors, sets in motion,

246
00:14:44,759 --> 00:14:48,240
the light bulbs dangling from twisted, frayed cords, rates the

247
00:14:48,279 --> 00:14:52,039
new autumn soot against guarred window panes, and broadway walks

248
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,519
faster now, the wind that slept in the summer warmed

249
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,960
rivers awake now and sirens, the coming of the cold days,

250
00:14:58,279 --> 00:15:02,000
the gray days, the day's sodden Autumn's mists. And the

251
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,240
corridor people. The doorway people try to hold back, clutch

252
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:09,039
once more at the sunlit visions that never happened, but

253
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,559
the October wind shrieks it out of their hands, pushes

254
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,559
it into a corner with the rest of the debris.

255
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:18,519
That's how autumn happens. To a Broadway kid, go fight it.

256
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:29,080
And Autumn has other sounds, the lingering overtones that float

257
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:35,480
in from a hospital corridor. The woman's called a dead husband, and.

258
00:15:34,399 --> 00:15:41,879
Speaker 13: And virah vira, let me give you something.

259
00:15:41,799 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 5: Let me get don't talk to me.

260
00:15:45,559 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 11: Just for a minute.

261
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:55,159
Speaker 5: Don't talk to me, Vera.

262
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 11: It's all right now, Daddy, nothing, there's no more crying

263
00:16:04,559 --> 00:16:05,080
left in me.

264
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 13: I'll get you something, vera, something it says in the

265
00:16:08,399 --> 00:16:09,919
bottle that makes you feel better.

266
00:16:10,519 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 11: I told you, doctor, there's nothing I want, nothing I

267
00:16:14,919 --> 00:16:16,759
need from anyone.

268
00:16:17,639 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 2: Ed was a fine man. Vera week.

269
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 11: You'll miss him, You, Danny, you, doctor Sinsk, all of you.

270
00:16:26,519 --> 00:16:31,440
They say death comes. When they say bitterness won't help,

271
00:16:32,639 --> 00:16:35,480
they're dead wrong. It helps.

272
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,679
Speaker 2: I'll take you home via Then some other time we'll

273
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,120
talk about Ed.

274
00:16:41,799 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 11: Yes, what's wrong with now? Danny? You can talk to

275
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,440
me about Ed now. We never held secrets from each other.

276
00:16:49,679 --> 00:16:51,279
Speaker 2: I couldn't understand something.

277
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 11: What was there about Ed cost You couldn't understand.

278
00:16:54,679 --> 00:16:56,399
Speaker 2: Only how he happened to be at the scene of

279
00:16:56,399 --> 00:16:59,120
the fire. How he must have been there even before

280
00:16:59,039 --> 00:16:59,320
he was.

281
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 11: An anonymous call. It told him a fire was being

282
00:17:04,079 --> 00:17:07,279
set at that chemical company. It even told him what time.

283
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 4: To get there.

284
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:08,759
Speaker 2: Did he have the call traced?

285
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:10,559
Speaker 11: It came from a public phone booth.

286
00:17:10,799 --> 00:17:12,519
Speaker 2: Ed was new on the burglary squad.

287
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 11: He was glad for the tip. He thought it would

288
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,640
make for a good start on the burglary detail.

289
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 2: He thought it a narcotic squad before that put in

290
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:21,079
for a transfer.

291
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 12: Do you know why because I asked him to, because

292
00:17:26,039 --> 00:17:27,880
I didn't like the idea of his being in a

293
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:28,920
narcotic squad.

294
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:37,279
Speaker 11: It didn't fit in. Ed was fine, a good man.

295
00:17:38,759 --> 00:17:43,039
He gave me all his love. Oh it's.

296
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 2: And listen to her until the time comes when their

297
00:17:50,519 --> 00:17:54,200
only answer is silence, And not silence quite because the

298
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:58,200
screaming questions intrude themselves. What is the word to give

299
00:17:58,279 --> 00:18:01,039
to a woman whose husband is dead? How do you

300
00:18:01,039 --> 00:18:03,839
fill in reports? How do you make a statistic out

301
00:18:03,839 --> 00:18:05,960
of it and find it in a ledger? How do

302
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,920
you write heartbreak as a number? You don't know how?

303
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:21,200
See you turn your back on it, Leave and to

304
00:18:21,279 --> 00:18:23,960

305
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,440

306
00:18:27,519 --> 00:18:31,599
the door opens and Detective Mugglevan walks in. I got it, Danny, Okay,

Speaker 2: You looked yourself, yeah, Danny, I did. There's no one

328

330
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,079
Speaker 13: Woman in the crowd outside told me she saw her

00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:46,839

333
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 4: Right up to her hat.

334
00:19:48,599 --> 00:19:50,519
Speaker 13: The woman in the crowd leans out our window and

335
00:19:50,559 --> 00:19:52,119
notices things like that about her neighbor.

336
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 2: You make a note of what the girl was wearing.

337
00:19:53,799 --> 00:19:56,359
It happens to me like a reflex. They tried to

338
00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:00,880
kill Russell once before. This time they made it. It

339
00:20:01,039 --> 00:20:03,240
can't be going to another room and talk Danny. The

340
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,839
way it hit him in a minute time. He must

341
00:20:06,839 --> 00:20:09,440
have been sitting at this window. The force of the

342
00:20:09,559 --> 00:20:12,519
explosion through him like that.

343
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 8: He sure wanted him dead, didn't They?

344
00:20:21,839 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 2: Then routine put it on the teletype for all the precincts.

345
00:20:25,039 --> 00:20:27,359
Have men go to places where a girl like Patrise

346
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:31,680
Russell might be. Wait, Patrese Russell is at none of

347
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,960
these places. Then in all points, bullet and find Patrice

348
00:20:35,039 --> 00:20:39,000
Russell and more. Routine out of your office. Down two

349
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,680
flights of steps, down a corridor, open a door, and

350
00:20:41,759 --> 00:20:44,279
for all that effort, a man named Gordon breach.

351
00:20:44,319 --> 00:20:49,880
Speaker 7: You close the door, Lieutenant, Thank you very much. Lieutenant.

352
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 2: Don't you ever open a window in here, Gordon.

353
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,519
Speaker 7: For fresh air? You need fresher air, lieutenant, or or

354
00:20:55,680 --> 00:21:00,680
you down here in technical you're hermetically sealed. Take up

355
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:06,240
with flutin emetic about the fire at the Russell Chemical Company.

356
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,680
I've been sitting here for two hours, watching the door,

357
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,559
waiting for you to scrape in here. Lutenant. You need

358
00:21:12,599 --> 00:21:19,000
Gordon again. Look, Gordon, I'm a civilian technician. I don't

359
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,799
have to bow my head and shuffle my feet when

360
00:21:20,839 --> 00:21:23,839
you talk to me. Next time you walk in here,

361
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,119
say to yourself, don't raise your voice to Gordon.

362
00:21:27,279 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 2: What about the report nicely phrased.

363
00:21:35,839 --> 00:21:36,079
Speaker 7: Here?

364
00:21:39,559 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 13: M hmm.

365
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 7: In case the three syllable type words make you scratch

366
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:48,119
your head in utter dismay. I'd better tell you the

367
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,799
fire was not only set by an arsonist, but there

368
00:21:50,839 --> 00:21:53,839
was an explosion explosive neatly placed to explode it a

369
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:55,279
comparatively low heat it was.

370
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 9: I got a morsel for you.

371
00:21:57,559 --> 00:22:01,759
Speaker 2: You close the door, is it yourself? Let's get out

372
00:22:01,759 --> 00:22:08,000
of here, Jane, I said, come on, Gene, what have

373
00:22:08,079 --> 00:22:09,759
you got the price? Russell?

374
00:22:10,559 --> 00:22:12,559
Speaker 9: Take the fullest spotted in the village. She climbed the

375
00:22:12,599 --> 00:22:14,759
stair and went to a party of twelve twelve Bank Street,

376
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:16,079
where she is at this moment.

377
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 2: Thanks, you know where's Patrice Russell? Thanks?

378
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 12: Patrice cut In, Danny cut In, come dance with me,

379
00:22:53,759 --> 00:22:56,240
Come to me, Danny.

380
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 2: Come on, we're getting out of here.

381
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,839
Speaker 6: Patrice, Honey, where we go?

382
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:01,559
Speaker 2: Just away from here. I've got to talk to you.

383
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,839
Speaker 6: My car's outside. I know a lovely.

384
00:23:04,599 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 2: Place to talk outside in the halls, far enough holes

385
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,480
are draped. Come on, or you will bruise me.

386
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:14,519
Speaker 11: Come on, let's go out in the.

387
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:21,799
Speaker 5: Hall here here for what?

388
00:23:23,319 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 2: Your father's dead, Kitty?

389
00:23:29,599 --> 00:23:30,559
Speaker 6: No, you're not, are you?

390
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 2: How someone tossed a bomb in your living room? Who Daddy.

391
00:23:39,039 --> 00:23:40,000
Who did it, Patrice?

392
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 6: Honest, I don't know, poor Daddy. I loved him, you know,

393
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:48,119
I really did.

394
00:23:48,279 --> 00:23:49,039
Speaker 2: He loved you.

395
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,880
Speaker 5: I know, I know he did, Patrice.

396
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,839
Speaker 12: I wasn't very nice to him, Daddy. You know something,

397
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,960
Every morning I'd wake up and say to myself, this

398
00:24:01,039 --> 00:24:02,960
is a day that I'm not going to hurt Daddy.

399
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 6: And it never worked out.

400
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 2: I want to ask you something, Patria.

401
00:24:07,279 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 12: I never tried around breakfast time, I'd think it's something

402
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,759
to do, and during the day I'd find out a

403
00:24:13,799 --> 00:24:14,400
way to do it.

404
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:18,279
Speaker 2: What about the narcotics. The narcotics, Oh.

405
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 11: No more, Danny.

406
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 12: I promised him that, and I kept my promise. I

407
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:23,359
took the cure and it worked.

408
00:24:23,839 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 6: I haven't touched it since, not since that detective picked

409
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:27,680
me up for it.

410
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,559
Speaker 2: His name is a Consta, Patrice. He died because of

411
00:24:30,599 --> 00:24:31,960
that fire at your father's place.

412
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 11: I'm sorry.

413
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 12: Listen, Danny about the narcotics. I want you to know

414
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:41,240
it's all over. It lost me everything. I had a boy,

415
00:24:41,519 --> 00:24:45,359
we were going to get married, and he's gone.

416
00:24:45,799 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 11: You know what I do now, I go to parties.

417
00:24:50,880 --> 00:25:02,079
Speaker 2: Like this, good by Danny, and leave her and leave

418
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,440
Greenwich Village right uptown to the one stop you had

419
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,480
to make the final stop in front of a canoped

420
00:25:08,599 --> 00:25:11,279
entrance to a gray stone apartment house. Have your bad

421
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,359
sniff damp and be told the man you're looking for

422
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:17,039
as a penthouse dweller, find the elevator, press a button,

423
00:25:17,079 --> 00:25:20,799
because the man you want is thirty floors away. Get there,

424
00:25:20,839 --> 00:25:22,559
and the man you want is waiting for you. Just

425
00:25:22,559 --> 00:25:23,039
step out.

426
00:25:23,279 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 5: Hey, come on in, Danny.

427
00:25:25,319 --> 00:25:31,039
Speaker 15: Thanks, Yeah, like Frankie's new house, Denny classic, Yeah, wait,

428
00:25:31,079 --> 00:25:32,200

429
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,559
Speaker 5: You got the city for an on? Come on shore?

430
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:41,960
All right, my Manhattan Tower, Denny.

431
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 2: I'm happy for you.

432
00:25:43,799 --> 00:25:46,559
Speaker 5: Do you begin rent in a place like this? That's

433
00:25:46,599 --> 00:25:47,480
why you're come to look?

434
00:25:47,799 --> 00:25:50,759
Speaker 2: Uh uh you know what? I want to take your

435
00:25:50,759 --> 00:25:52,960
away from all this, Frankie.

436
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,759
Speaker 15: Too much sweat got me here, Danny. It isn't going

437
00:25:56,799 --> 00:25:57,599
to be easy.

438
00:25:57,599 --> 00:26:00,400
Speaker 2: Not hard, just to walk to the l of ring

439
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:01,240
a ride down town.

440
00:26:02,839 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 5: There were times when that could happen to Frankie.

441
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 2: No more, it's going to happen. It's got murder in it.

442
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:09,039
Speaker 7: What are you talking about?

443
00:26:09,079 --> 00:26:12,559
Speaker 2: George Russell? What about him? Dead? Had a bomb pitched

444
00:26:12,599 --> 00:26:14,839
through his living room window, rumors said, You used to

445
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:19,440
do things like that, Frankie, rubber balls through tenement.

446
00:26:19,039 --> 00:26:20,759
Speaker 5: Windows when I was a kid. I give it up,

447
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:21,559
no future.

448
00:26:21,599 --> 00:26:23,519
Speaker 2: It all gets back to Joe Gant. Frankie.

449
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 15: Come mind, Danny, you're in a classy place, make classy conversation.

450
00:26:27,279 --> 00:26:28,079
Speaker 5: What about Joe game?

451
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 2: The connection between you and who?

452
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:31,559
Speaker 5: Finish the visit?

453
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:32,799
Speaker 7: Danny? I got a dame.

454
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 2: It'll wait.

455
00:26:34,839 --> 00:26:36,039
Speaker 5: Maybe I can still.

456
00:26:35,799 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 15: Catch it, Danny. Maybe she's got a friend. You want

457
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:40,400
me to try?

458
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:45,079
Speaker 2: Don't bother well and finish the visit. Sure it started

459
00:26:45,079 --> 00:26:46,160
way back in June.

460
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:47,839
Speaker 5: What did Danny come on? Come onut?

461
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,400
Speaker 2: When Trees Russell was picked up on a narcotic charge.

462
00:26:50,519 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 15: George Russell. But Trece Russell, what is it with all

463
00:26:53,279 --> 00:26:54,000
these rustle.

464
00:26:53,799 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 2: George Russell must have pleaded her to the office and

465
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,160
not have to press charges against his daughter, Patrese. He

466
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,640
didn't make it the charge nearly his daughter.

467
00:27:00,759 --> 00:27:02,640
Speaker 15: All right, what's this guy to do with me?

468
00:27:02,839 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 2: The arresting officer's name was Ed Couster. Russell was going

469
00:27:05,519 --> 00:27:07,880
to get back at him. He found a way to

470
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,599
do it somehow. He found out Coster was transferred from

471
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,279
narcotics to burglary. That was his chance.

472
00:27:14,559 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 5: That's my date, Danny.

473
00:27:15,759 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 15: I don't like to keep a lady waiting tough to

474
00:27:19,039 --> 00:27:21,279
see she's impatient, tough.

475
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,400
Speaker 2: I'm telling a story. Russell came to you. He said

476
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,559
he wanted a fire set in his place for whatever

477
00:27:26,599 --> 00:27:28,519
reason he gave you. For whatever amount he gave you,

478
00:27:29,079 --> 00:27:34,200
look'd better forget it. So you arranged it. Sent Joe Gant.

479
00:27:34,319 --> 00:27:36,279
Joe set the fire, all right, but he was followed

480
00:27:36,319 --> 00:27:39,119
by Officer Ed Coster because Ed got a phone call

481
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,079
telling him where a burglar would be at what time?

482
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:42,799
Speaker 15: All right, so they both burned.

483
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 5: Why should that gave me from a day?

484
00:27:44,799 --> 00:27:47,079
Speaker 2: The phone call Ed came from Russell. Russell rigged the

485
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,319
place to blow up. When the fire started at Blue Wall, right,

486
00:27:50,799 --> 00:27:51,640
Gant was killed.

487
00:27:52,559 --> 00:27:55,519
Speaker 5: Ed died and I wipe a tear with the back

488
00:27:55,559 --> 00:27:56,079
of my hand.

489
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,039
Speaker 2: You couldn't let Russell get away with that. One of

490
00:27:58,039 --> 00:28:01,400
your boys was killed. Bad for your reputation. You evened it.

491
00:28:02,039 --> 00:28:03,799
The bomb in the car didn't work, but the bomb

492
00:28:03,839 --> 00:28:05,119
in the living room did.

493
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:05,839
Speaker 15: Danny.

494
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 2: You can say, good fighterr on your way, Frankie.

495
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 15: I asked you, Danny, you didn't agree, chill you put

496
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:12,319
down that gun.

497
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're not going to get to say Goodbier, Frankie.

498
00:28:30,559 --> 00:28:53,799
She went away Broadways wearing its harlequin clothes. It winks

499
00:28:53,839 --> 00:28:57,559
and eye and beckons, and in the press of crowd,

500
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:02,440
there the pale girl walks like a queen, because Broadway's

501
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:07,000
a dream street. And there that man with begging eyes,

502
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:12,079
hungry for a new dream. It's a laugh or a

503
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:19,720
cry with nothing in between. It's Broadway, the gaudiest, the

504
00:29:19,759 --> 00:29:27,119
most violent, the lonesomest mile in the world. Broadway, My Beat.

505
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 3: Broadways, My Beat stars Larry Thor as Detective Danny Clover,

506
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,680
with Charles Calvert as Tartaglia and Jack Krushian as Muggovin.

507
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,240
The program was produced and directed by Elliot Lewis, with

508
00:29:55,440 --> 00:30:00,119
musical score composed and conducted by Alexander Courage. In tonight's story,

509
00:30:00,119 --> 00:30:03,200
Anthony Barrett was heard as Frankie Crown. Featured in the

510
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:07,039
cast were Michael An Barrett, Paula Winslow, Herb Butterfield, and

511
00:30:07,279 --> 00:30:22,000
Ed Max. My Friend Irma is everybody is Friend Irma.

512
00:30:22,359 --> 00:30:25,799
There's something downright appealing in that gal's goofy mentality. And

513
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:29,359
every Sunday Evening Marie Wilson stars as the world's most

514
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:34,119
adorable dumbbell. My friend Irma Kathy Lewis is her level

515
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,960
headed roommate on most of these stations. Sunday nights, enjoy

516
00:30:38,079 --> 00:30:42,519
CBS Radios, my friend Irma, Bill Anders speaking and remember

517
00:30:42,559 --> 00:30:45,200
the Frankie Lane Show is your date for select syncopation

518
00:30:45,359 --> 00:30:56,839
every Sunday afternoon on the CBS Radio Network.

519
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:38,799
Speaker 1: Welcome Back. One thing I found fascinating about the end

520
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:45,440
is just the subtleties of Tony Barrett's performance, as you know,

521
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,039
he had, you know, right up until the end, his

522
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,559
character had been maintaining he was a legitimate businessman, and

523
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:56,440
then just the way the voice changed as it became

524
00:31:56,519 --> 00:32:01,039
clear that he was full thog. And I like the

525
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:05,440
subtle movement there. Now, this episode is not the first

526
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:09,480
Broadways My Beat that dealt with the death of a

527
00:32:09,559 --> 00:32:14,200
law enforcement officer, but this is the first one where

528
00:32:14,599 --> 00:32:20,799
it's really kind of visited the meaning of that to characters,

529
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:24,480
particularly outside of Danny. And it's kind of an interesting

530
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:28,559
contrast between the way that Broadways My Beat handles the

531
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:33,359
sort of episode as opposed to Dragnet. You actually saw

532
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:39,119
people visibly by the death, You saw a mugg an

533
00:32:39,759 --> 00:32:42,839
kind of struggling with his emotions a bit, and then

534
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:49,079
even Tartagia got irritable. Now this contrast with the dragnet

535
00:32:49,079 --> 00:32:55,440
approach where they don't really stray far from that professional mode.

536
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,720
That's not to say that it's not there, but it's

537
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:03,319
more between the lines, and it's more something that's verbally

538
00:33:03,599 --> 00:33:07,640
acknowledged than something that you're going to be able to

539
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:11,920
tell just by listening to them that something is wrong. Well,

540
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,359
listener comments and feedback, and we have a couple comments

541
00:33:15,359 --> 00:33:19,119
from Mechanics sixty six regarding some recent episodes. Regarding the

542
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:22,119
Anna Compton murder case. He writes, I went to summer

543
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:25,799
camp in the Catskills, but not a charity camp. Good memories.

544
00:33:26,279 --> 00:33:29,640
I thought Compton gave himself away the first time he

545
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,240
spoke with Danny when he said I'll take Anna away

546
00:33:32,319 --> 00:33:36,039
from that place where she is. The way he said it,

547
00:33:36,039 --> 00:33:38,680
it was as if he knew the place, and how

548
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:43,279
could he good point. And he also adds based released

549
00:33:43,319 --> 00:33:48,799
on one's own recognissance, not cognisance as Danny said. Then

550
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:54,079
Harrison comments regarding our first listener support and Appreciation special.

551
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:58,480
I love It's a wonderful life, so it's really cool

552
00:33:58,519 --> 00:34:03,759
to hear these actor prom for it before it's even released. Well,

553
00:34:03,799 --> 00:34:06,319
thanks so much, Harrison, and I agree. I love to

554
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,960
hear those sort of promos for It's a Wonderful Life

555
00:34:10,199 --> 00:34:14,079
and other films. You just kind of like, wow that

556
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,280
the people who heard that are in for a treat.

557
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:21,199
Although many people who saw It's a Wonderful Life at

558
00:34:21,199 --> 00:34:25,679
a time did not appreciate it wouldn't really gain the

559
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:30,400
appreciation it deserved until it lapsed into the public domain,

560
00:34:30,519 --> 00:34:34,440
but that's another story. Thanks so much, appreciate the comments.

561
00:34:34,679 --> 00:34:37,920

tomorrow for dragnetwhere.

571
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,599
Speaker 10: Four or fifteen am then and I went out back

572
00:35:11,639 --> 00:35:14,280
to the garage where mister Sullivan's car was parked. We

573
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,239
jammed ourselves into the trunk compartment and Brian closed the

574
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,480
door on us. The latch was rigged so that we

575
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:22,559
could push open the door from the inside. A few

576
00:35:22,599 --> 00:35:25,159
minutes later, mister Sullivan came out, got in the car,

577
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:28,119
and we drove off. At three minutes to five, we

578
00:35:28,159 --> 00:35:30,920
pulled up at the designated meeting place up an allegian park.

579
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 2: We waited.

580
00:35:32,599 --> 00:35:37,760
Speaker 10: Nothing happened. Five minutes past five am, still nothing outside.

581
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:39,079
Speaker 4: It started the thunder.

582
00:35:41,199 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 2: Rain starting.

583
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 1: Man, it's Wendy.

584
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:49,360
Speaker 4: Yeah here, Yeah.

585
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:50,679
Speaker 2: It's a car coming up the road toward us.

586
00:35:50,719 --> 00:36:00,280
Speaker 5: I was like, yeah, mal minute, coming over this way.

587
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:01,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, signs that way. Doesn't be caring.
