Speaker 2: Case Broadways My Beat from Times Square to Columbus Circle.
The gaudiest, the most violent, the lonesomest, mile in the world.
Speaker 3: Broadway is my beat with Larry Thor as Detective Danny Clover.
Speaker 2: When it's October and the night has slipped down over Broadway,
the street has spangled with autumn strollers. They come here,
the seekers after something or other. Pick a doorway with
promising neon, Pick a smile and run after it. Pick
a postcard right home about it. It's the place to be.
You've got to leave your mark. Buy a turtle and
have your name painted on its back. Buy a necktie,
buy a pillow and send it back to mom. Sometimes
you'll be lucky and get lipstick on your handkerchief. But
the odds say you'll buy a newspaper and go to bed.
But it's Broadway, kid, and you've had it. Where Broadway
epps off into the side streets downtown Where I was
close to, where I was close to where Eighteenth Street
touches the river. The shock was a thing composed of
crowd and a nighttime sky lit by flame, the elements
later to be noted in police and Fire Department records.
Fire at Russell's Chemical Company, time four fifteen am.
Speaker 4: Bringing somebody out now down strange?
Speaker 5: What what'd you say?
Speaker 2: Said? It? Strange Mugavin after four in the morning. Why
should anybody be come? Let's see put the stretches down here,
somebody better, how are they?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 2: Hello, Denny, he's too. I think that's all it's in there.
Speaker 7: I just started to say, somebody better get a priest.

know what Danny, Yeah, he's a policeman.
Speaker 2: Policeman. What was he doing in there? Doc?
Speaker 4: Do something for him.
Speaker 2: The flames beating against the night sky, burning and opening
for dawn in the street, the reflected glow darts across
the face of death, holds for an instant, and scurries
at the breath of the October wind. This is the
time of shadows, the brief time, the time for shrouding
of the charred body of a man, the time for
quick gentleness the other man still in anguish, and the
lifting of the men of the vehicle reserved for the
dead and the dying, the closing of a door upon them,
the hushed ride that puts an end. Tonight in the
morning at headquarters, watch the sergeant lift a foam, dial
the number and, after a silence, ask for news of
a man who was known to him, who was a friend.
Speaker 9: It's me again, doctor Sinski. About read cost any change any.

for me, you know, yeah, yeah, I got some. I'm sorry, Denny.
The man found with that the dead man. Technical check
up on him in ways, they got to check on
such things. Fingerprints made. We got a file on him
this long to my arm. Joe Gant professional arsonist, a
man who sets fires this way. He makes his daily
bread by.
Speaker 2: Burning anything else.
Speaker 9: It's on the record. Grant was friends the Frankie Crown.
Speaker 2: Oh how were they friends?
Speaker 9: Gant once a little playful, little bonfire in a machine shop.
Concerned Frankie Crown bailed him out, treated him to Frankie's lawyer.
Can't got off. Let's see Frankie get out of this one.
Speaker 2: I hear Frankie's a big man, now, not that big.
I want to talk to him.

Speaker 12: Hi.
Speaker 2: How do you feel, miss Russell?
Speaker 6: Got my pinching hand in a cast?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 6: The disadvantage of it all.
Speaker 11: Wait, Jimmy Seyes.
Speaker 12: It it was your fault, daddy, wasn't it his fault?
Speaker 6: Mister Clark?
Speaker 2: I understand your car blew up this morning, not mine.
What happened.
Speaker 4: Her car is in the garage being repaired. I loaned
him mine.
Speaker 6: You see how it's his fault. Mister Clover, he spoils me.
I only wheedled him for the car this much, this much,
and he patted me and said.
Speaker 2: Yes, my darling daughter stepped on the starter and it.
Speaker 6: Blew the way things do, bang like that, bang.
Speaker 4: She's a lucky girl.
Speaker 6: Fortunately, hand in a sling goes on my cheek and
plaster dappled with it.
Speaker 2: For Jimmy, your car booby trapped. Mister Russell, your plants
set fire to by an arsenist and aist. That's right.
The man who died had a record of arsenal.
Speaker 4: What's happening? I don't understand?
Speaker 11: Hey, Pop, how's business?
Speaker 13: Pop?
Speaker 4: Patrice? You'd better do what?
Speaker 7: Pop?
Speaker 4: My business is fine. Mister clothes, you've got any idea
I had?
Speaker 6: My There is a lot of insurance.
Speaker 4: Cut it out.
Speaker 14: Look, mister cloth, what don't pay any attention to? I
know you police have to think along certain lines. If
it was arson, what happened to my plant? You got
to think maybe I was the cause of it.
Speaker 4: Look for reasons?
Speaker 14: Well, I netted seventy thousand last year and this year
it's better than ever.
Speaker 6: To kind of praise.
Speaker 4: What am I going to do with you, Patrice, I'm
a mess.
Speaker 2: Mister Russell, or some connection between the arsonist who's found
and a hoodlum named Frankie Crown. Do you know Frankie?
Speaker 4: Frankie Crown a hoodlum? Why should I look? Mister, I
didn't ask you into my house, so listen, just asked.
Speaker 11: That's all he did.
Speaker 4: Pap, I don't know him, never heard of him.
Speaker 2: All right, it's.
Speaker 6: Fun a mister Klovik hoodlum's arson booby traps the nice
things that can happen to a modern miss.
Speaker 11: Brother, little Jimmy hears.
Speaker 6: Tonight's the night he won't be able to shut me up.
Speaker 2: And consider the girl for a moment, consider the delight
she had found in a touch of horror upon her,
Then the intrusion of her father's face, stricken with a
sudden fleeting understanding of the girl, then turning to you,
trying to smile, trying to erase the impression his child
is made.
Speaker 4: She's suffering a shock. She doesn't understand, mister, she doesn't know.
Speaker 2: And the girl looks up, laughs at them and leave
them like that. Then to the discrete office of Frankie
Crown in a discreete downtown building dedicated to the deep
understanding of stocks and bonds and the affairs of commerce.
The shiny new setting for Frankie Crown Hoodland Alley, boy
friend of dead Arsonists, and Frankie holds out a discreetly
manicured hand to have it shaken. Only it doesn't happen
to him.
Speaker 7: Mm hmm.
Speaker 5: It's your own way, Denny. I thought it would spark
something between us.
Speaker 2: If you show you're a long way from home, Frankie blessed.
Speaker 15: That's me, have been blessed. Wipe your hands of the
old life and a new world shivers on horizon waiting
just for you. I got a child then, been any
good fires lately, Frankie now busy busy. Frankie Crown has
been so busy you couldn't conceive. No fires, no street dancers,
no fun anywhere. The penalties are the new life.
Speaker 2: Friend of yours was at a fire a loan.
Speaker 15: I got crazy friends. They flip over the craziest things.
Speaker 2: Joe Gan Darsonist, friend of yours. Frankie.
Speaker 15: Somewhere in the back of my brain the name Gant
shivers help me.
Speaker 2: Then the consensus is he set a fire early yesterday
morning at the Russell Chemical Company. He died in it.
You bailed them out once, favored them with your private lawyer,
got him off Joe again.
Speaker 5: I did all that.
Speaker 2: We got a memory course at headquarters. Frankie, you just
signed up.
Speaker 15: I'll get it hard, Denny and such I always said
about my mother. Touch of your hand brought it back.
Can some ways got him mother. I know because she
came to me that time crying in my sleeve. Please
help Joe.
Speaker 2: He's good.
Speaker 5: Boys made my eyes water.
Speaker 15: How with my dough and lawyer, Joe gand was going
to reform.
Speaker 7: So I gave it.
Speaker 2: I break up at her mother's tears. I be sure
to cry something for me.
Speaker 15: You're gonna looking for I don't buy that, Danny. I
bought her a place in her old country. She impressed
me so much. As a typical money.
Speaker 2: You close all the doors behind you, don't.
Speaker 4: You, Frankie.
Speaker 5: The mark of a polite man.
Speaker 2: Because how about the one on George Russell.
Speaker 15: It come over the tape. The Russell plant bourned to
the ground this morning. His car blew up in his
daughter's lap. Oh desert door, it's never been opened to me.
Speaker 2: D in a Russell do.
Speaker 15: I'm blessed, absolutely blessed.
Speaker 2: You get out of there and back to headquarters. Sit
at your desk and shuffle your thoughts. The coincidence of
a booby trapped car and a fire, A link between
a hoodlum newly respectable and an arsonist newly dead, and
another man a busines this man who had a daughter.
Try to find a category for her. Try to find
Danny Clover, doctor. Since Kim calling from the hospital, how's
ed cost her?
Speaker 4: Get down here, Danny right away.
Speaker 2: You can go there and the only sound in the
corridor is your footsteps, the sound that hurries toward pain.
Open the door and find it. Doctor. He's dead. Danny there,
I'm sorry.
Speaker 6: M h m hm.
Speaker 10: Oh.
Speaker 3: You are listening to Broadway's My Beat, written by Morton
Fine and David Friedkin and starring Larry Thor as Detective
Danny Clover. In Days of Old, when nights were bold,
King Arthur and his Roundtable were the rage. History's not
exactly repeating itself, but the best entertainment of Arthur Godfrey's
weekday shows is every Sunday afternoon on King Arthur Godfrey's Roundtable.
Listen for it starting tomorrow afternoon on most of these
same stations. King Arthur Godfrey's Roundtable on CBS Radio.
Speaker 2: The October wind shrills through broadways corridors, sets in motion,
the light bulbs dangling from twisted, frayed cords, rates the
new autumn soot against guarred window panes, and broadway walks
faster now, the wind that slept in the summer warmed
rivers awake now and sirens, the coming of the cold days,
the gray days, the day's sodden Autumn's mists. And the
corridor people. The doorway people try to hold back, clutch
once more at the sunlit visions that never happened, but
the October wind shrieks it out of their hands, pushes
it into a corner with the rest of the debris.
That's how autumn happens. To a Broadway kid, go fight it.
And Autumn has other sounds, the lingering overtones that float
in from a hospital corridor. The woman's called a dead husband, and.
Speaker 13: And virah vira, let me give you something.
Speaker 5: Let me get don't talk to me.
Speaker 11: Just for a minute.
Speaker 5: Don't talk to me, Vera.
Speaker 11: It's all right now, Daddy, nothing, there's no more crying
left in me.
Speaker 13: I'll get you something, vera, something it says in the
bottle that makes you feel better.
Speaker 11: I told you, doctor, there's nothing I want, nothing I
need from anyone.
Speaker 2: Ed was a fine man. Vera week.
Speaker 11: You'll miss him, You, Danny, you, doctor Sinsk, all of you.
They say death comes. When they say bitterness won't help,
they're dead wrong. It helps.
Speaker 2: I'll take you home via Then some other time we'll
talk about Ed.
Speaker 11: Yes, what's wrong with now? Danny? You can talk to
me about Ed now. We never held secrets from each other.
Speaker 2: I couldn't understand something.
Speaker 11: What was there about Ed cost You couldn't understand.
Speaker 2: Only how he happened to be at the scene of
the fire. How he must have been there even before
he was.
Speaker 11: An anonymous call. It told him a fire was being
set at that chemical company. It even told him what time.
Speaker 4: To get there.
Speaker 2: Did he have the call traced?
Speaker 11: It came from a public phone booth.
Speaker 2: Ed was new on the burglary squad.
Speaker 11: He was glad for the tip. He thought it would
make for a good start on the burglary detail.
Speaker 2: He thought it a narcotic squad before that put in
for a transfer.
Speaker 12: Do you know why because I asked him to, because
I didn't like the idea of his being in a
narcotic squad.
Speaker 11: It didn't fit in. Ed was fine, a good man.
He gave me all his love. Oh it's.
Speaker 2: And listen to her until the time comes when their
only answer is silence, And not silence quite because the
screaming questions intrude themselves. What is the word to give
to a woman whose husband is dead? How do you
fill in reports? How do you make a statistic out
of it and find it in a ledger? How do
you write heartbreak as a number? You don't know how?
See you turn your back on it, Leave and to
headquarters again. Call in Detective Mugglevan, Tell them to get
out the record of Ed Coster and wait. A while later,
the door opens and Detective Mugglevan walks in. I got it, Danny, Okay,
put it down. Aren't you going to look at it?
It does a matter, Muggovin, you're restless. I'll look at it.
Speaker 4: I know you will, but I think you'll look at
it right away.
Speaker 2: Look Muggovin, all right, then.
Speaker 5: I'll show you.
Speaker 4: Hey, sid there this arrest June twelfth.
Speaker 2: This year Paterce Russell.
Speaker 13: Uh huh had arrested her for the possession of narcotics.
Now you know why I wanted you to take it. Muggerman
Denny Clover's office. Muggelan speak what bad?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 2: Sure?
Speaker 4: Sure right away, Danny.
Speaker 2: Huh.
Speaker 13: A bomb was thrown ato the home at George Russell
when a few minutes to go into the living room.
Speaker 2: Let's go.
Speaker 13: No one else in the house, Danny, I check with
the boys in the fire department.
Speaker 2: You looked yourself, yeah, Danny, I did. There's no one
else in the house, just him. You and me. Ask
about his daughter.
Speaker 13: Woman in the crowd outside told me she saw her
go out a couple of hours ago, described to wearing
a power.
Speaker 4: Right up to her hat.
Speaker 13: The woman in the crowd leans out our window and
notices things like that about her neighbor.
Speaker 2: You make a note of what the girl was wearing.
It happens to me like a reflex. They tried to
kill Russell once before. This time they made it. It
can't be going to another room and talk Danny. The
way it hit him in a minute time. He must
have been sitting at this window. The force of the
explosion through him like that.
Speaker 8: He sure wanted him dead, didn't They?
Speaker 2: Then routine put it on the teletype for all the precincts.
Have men go to places where a girl like Patrise
Russell might be. Wait, Patrese Russell is at none of
these places. Then in all points, bullet and find Patrice
Russell and more. Routine out of your office. Down two
flights of steps, down a corridor, open a door, and
for all that effort, a man named Gordon breach.
Speaker 7: You close the door, Lieutenant, Thank you very much. Lieutenant.
Speaker 2: Don't you ever open a window in here, Gordon.
Speaker 7: For fresh air? You need fresher air, lieutenant, or or
you down here in technical you're hermetically sealed. Take up
with flutin emetic about the fire at the Russell Chemical Company.
I've been sitting here for two hours, watching the door,
waiting for you to scrape in here. Lutenant. You need
Gordon again. Look, Gordon, I'm a civilian technician. I don't
have to bow my head and shuffle my feet when
you talk to me. Next time you walk in here,
say to yourself, don't raise your voice to Gordon.
Speaker 2: What about the report nicely phrased.
Speaker 7: Here?
Speaker 13: M hmm.
Speaker 7: In case the three syllable type words make you scratch
your head in utter dismay. I'd better tell you the
fire was not only set by an arsonist, but there
was an explosion explosive neatly placed to explode it a
comparatively low heat it was.
Speaker 9: I got a morsel for you.
Speaker 2: You close the door, is it yourself? Let's get out
of here, Jane, I said, come on, Gene, what have
you got the price? Russell?
Speaker 9: Take the fullest spotted in the village. She climbed the
stair and went to a party of twelve twelve Bank Street,
where she is at this moment.
Speaker 2: Thanks, you know where's Patrice Russell? Thanks?
Speaker 12: Patrice cut In, Danny cut In, come dance with me,
Come to me, Danny.
Speaker 2: Come on, we're getting out of here.
Speaker 6: Patrice, Honey, where we go?
Speaker 2: Just away from here. I've got to talk to you.
Speaker 6: My car's outside. I know a lovely.

are draped. Come on, or you will bruise me.
Speaker 11: Come on, let's go out in the.
Speaker 5: Hall here here for what?
Speaker 2: Your father's dead, Kitty?
Speaker 6: No, you're not, are you?
Speaker 2: How someone tossed a bomb in your living room? Who Daddy.
Who did it, Patrice?
Speaker 6: Honest, I don't know, poor Daddy. I loved him, you know,
I really did.
Speaker 2: He loved you.
Speaker 5: I know, I know he did, Patrice.
Speaker 12: I wasn't very nice to him, Daddy. You know something,
Every morning I'd wake up and say to myself, this
is a day that I'm not going to hurt Daddy.
Speaker 6: And it never worked out.
Speaker 2: I want to ask you something, Patria.
Speaker 12: I never tried around breakfast time, I'd think it's something
to do, and during the day I'd find out a
way to do it.
Speaker 2: What about the narcotics. The narcotics, Oh.
Speaker 11: No more, Danny.
Speaker 12: I promised him that, and I kept my promise. I
took the cure and it worked.
Speaker 6: I haven't touched it since, not since that detective picked
me up for it.
Speaker 2: His name is a Consta, Patrice. He died because of
that fire at your father's place.
Speaker 11: I'm sorry.
Speaker 12: Listen, Danny about the narcotics. I want you to know
it's all over. It lost me everything. I had a boy,
we were going to get married, and he's gone.
Speaker 11: You know what I do now, I go to parties.
Speaker 2: Like this, good by Danny, and leave her and leave
Greenwich Village right uptown to the one stop you had
to make the final stop in front of a canoped
entrance to a gray stone apartment house. Have your bad
sniff damp and be told the man you're looking for
as a penthouse dweller, find the elevator, press a button,
because the man you want is thirty floors away. Get there,
and the man you want is waiting for you. Just
step out.
Speaker 5: Hey, come on in, Danny.
Speaker 15: Thanks, Yeah, like Frankie's new house, Denny classic, Yeah, wait,
will I show you outside?
Speaker 5: You got the city for an on? Come on shore?
All right, my Manhattan Tower, Denny.
Speaker 2: I'm happy for you.
Speaker 5: Do you begin rent in a place like this? That's
why you're come to look?
Speaker 2: Uh uh you know what? I want to take your
away from all this, Frankie.
Speaker 15: Too much sweat got me here, Danny. It isn't going
to be easy.
Speaker 2: Not hard, just to walk to the l of ring
a ride down town.
Speaker 5: There were times when that could happen to Frankie.
Speaker 2: No more, it's going to happen. It's got murder in it.
Speaker 7: What are you talking about?
Speaker 2: George Russell? What about him? Dead? Had a bomb pitched
through his living room window, rumors said, You used to
do things like that, Frankie, rubber balls through tenement.
Speaker 5: Windows when I was a kid. I give it up,
no future.
Speaker 2: It all gets back to Joe Gant. Frankie.
Speaker 15: Come mind, Danny, you're in a classy place, make classy conversation.
Speaker 5: What about Joe game?
Speaker 2: The connection between you and who?
Speaker 5: Finish the visit?
Speaker 7: Danny? I got a dame.
Speaker 2: It'll wait.
Speaker 5: Maybe I can still.
Speaker 15: Catch it, Danny. Maybe she's got a friend. You want
me to try?
Speaker 2: Don't bother well and finish the visit. Sure it started
way back in June.
Speaker 5: What did Danny come on? Come onut?
Speaker 2: When Trees Russell was picked up on a narcotic charge.
Speaker 15: George Russell. But Trece Russell, what is it with all
these rustle.
Speaker 2: George Russell must have pleaded her to the office and
not have to press charges against his daughter, Patrese. He
didn't make it the charge nearly his daughter.
Speaker 15: All right, what's this guy to do with me?
Speaker 2: The arresting officer's name was Ed Couster. Russell was going
to get back at him. He found a way to
do it somehow. He found out Coster was transferred from
narcotics to burglary. That was his chance.
Speaker 5: That's my date, Danny.
Speaker 15: I don't like to keep a lady waiting tough to
see she's impatient, tough.
Speaker 2: I'm telling a story. Russell came to you. He said
he wanted a fire set in his place for whatever
reason he gave you. For whatever amount he gave you,
look'd better forget it. So you arranged it. Sent Joe Gant.
Joe set the fire, all right, but he was followed
by Officer Ed Coster because Ed got a phone call
telling him where a burglar would be at what time?
Speaker 15: All right, so they both burned.
Speaker 5: Why should that gave me from a day?
Speaker 2: The phone call Ed came from Russell. Russell rigged the
place to blow up. When the fire started at Blue Wall, right,
Gant was killed.
Speaker 5: Ed died and I wipe a tear with the back
of my hand.
Speaker 2: You couldn't let Russell get away with that. One of
your boys was killed. Bad for your reputation. You evened it.
The bomb in the car didn't work, but the bomb
in the living room did.
Speaker 15: Danny.
Speaker 2: You can say, good fighterr on your way, Frankie.
Speaker 15: I asked you, Danny, you didn't agree, chill you put
down that gun.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're not going to get to say Goodbier, Frankie.
She went away Broadways wearing its harlequin clothes. It winks
and eye and beckons, and in the press of crowd,
there the pale girl walks like a queen, because Broadway's
a dream street. And there that man with begging eyes,
hungry for a new dream. It's a laugh or a
cry with nothing in between. It's Broadway, the gaudiest, the
most violent, the lonesomest mile in the world. Broadway, My Beat.
Speaker 3: Broadways, My Beat stars Larry Thor as Detective Danny Clover,
with Charles Calvert as Tartaglia and Jack Krushian as Muggovin.
The program was produced and directed by Elliot Lewis, with
musical score composed and conducted by Alexander Courage. In tonight's story,
Anthony Barrett was heard as Frankie Crown. Featured in the
cast were Michael An Barrett, Paula Winslow, Herb Butterfield, and
Ed Max. My Friend Irma is everybody is Friend Irma.
There's something downright appealing in that gal's goofy mentality. And
every Sunday Evening Marie Wilson stars as the world's most
adorable dumbbell. My friend Irma Kathy Lewis is her level
headed roommate on most of these stations. Sunday nights, enjoy
CBS Radios, my friend Irma, Bill Anders speaking and remember
the Frankie Lane Show is your date for select syncopation
every Sunday afternoon on the CBS Radio Network.
Speaker 1: Welcome Back. One thing I found fascinating about the end
is just the subtleties of Tony Barrett's performance, as you know,
he had, you know, right up until the end, his
character had been maintaining he was a legitimate businessman, and
then just the way the voice changed as it became
clear that he was full thog. And I like the
subtle movement there. Now, this episode is not the first
Broadways My Beat that dealt with the death of a
law enforcement officer, but this is the first one where
it's really kind of visited the meaning of that to characters,
particularly outside of Danny. And it's kind of an interesting
contrast between the way that Broadways My Beat handles the
sort of episode as opposed to Dragnet. You actually saw
people visibly by the death, You saw a mugg an
kind of struggling with his emotions a bit, and then
even Tartagia got irritable. Now this contrast with the dragnet
approach where they don't really stray far from that professional mode.
That's not to say that it's not there, but it's
more between the lines, and it's more something that's verbally
acknowledged than something that you're going to be able to
tell just by listening to them that something is wrong. Well,
listener comments and feedback, and we have a couple comments
from Mechanics sixty six regarding some recent episodes. Regarding the
Anna Compton murder case. He writes, I went to summer
camp in the Catskills, but not a charity camp. Good memories.
I thought Compton gave himself away the first time he
spoke with Danny when he said I'll take Anna away
from that place where she is. The way he said it,
it was as if he knew the place, and how
could he good point. And he also adds based released
on one's own recognissance, not cognisance as Danny said. Then
Harrison comments regarding our first listener support and Appreciation special.
I love It's a wonderful life, so it's really cool
to hear these actor prom for it before it's even released. Well,
thanks so much, Harrison, and I agree. I love to
hear those sort of promos for It's a Wonderful Life
and other films. You just kind of like, wow that
the people who heard that are in for a treat.
Although many people who saw It's a Wonderful Life at
a time did not appreciate it wouldn't really gain the
appreciation it deserved until it lapsed into the public domain,
but that's another story. Thanks so much, appreciate the comments.
