hop Along and Topper, we'll be back with us riding

Speaker 4: Get this and get it straight. Crime is a suca's road.
Those who travel and wind up in the gut of
the prison of the grave. There's no other end. They
never learn.
Speaker 3: From the pen of Raymonds, handler outstanding author of crime fiction,
comes his most famous character, and the Adventures of Philip
marlow Now with Gerald Moore starred as Philip Marlowe. We
bring you tonight's transcribe story. Air for g String.
Speaker 4: There's nothing really wrong with a hot summer. If some
sadists really wanted to bring out the worst in anybody,
particularly me, after a steaming day, all he has to
do is expose me to wear conditioning. Take, for instance,
the Broadview Hotel, which was on Olive Street in downtown La.
It ground out alternating currents of cold air from what
could laughingly be called the lobby. I'd revolved through the
usual doors and stood squinting into the icy darkness. When
my eyes leveled off again, I made my way to
the elevators, sinking into the deep piled carpeting up to
my hot and cold ankles. By the time I reached
room nine seven to two, I was in the first
stages of a chill. Yeah. Conditioning is a marvelous invention.
It guarantees the summer cold for life. Oh you're mister
marlow that's right. That makes you mister Olmand. Huh come in,
come in sure? Ah, Yeah, nothing like i'd pictured you,
mister Olmand.
Speaker 5: Sit down, please, mister marlow pictured me, I don't understand.
Speaker 4: Well, all my life I had heard about Philadelphia lawyers.
Somewhere along the line, I drew up a mental eight
by ten of a Yeah, well it doesn't matter. You
just don't look the prototype.
Speaker 5: Perhaps that's because I'm only a junior partner in the firm,
mister Marlowe. H Maybe that's it. You know, it's an
odd thing about prototype, mister Malo. They'll trick you.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 5: For example, I've always had the idea that men and
your well, i'll call it a profession.
Speaker 4: That's nice.
Speaker 5: Have you that men in your profession always wore trench coats?
Speaker 4: Yeah, well that's cause Bogot looks so good in them.
Speaker 5: Yes, Well, about our business together. I'll be here in
Los Angeles a few days, representing the firm in a
number of ways. But while I'm here, I hope to
locate a man by the name of Buff Ryan to
say that first name was Buff. Yes, odd name, isn't it. Yeah,
But that's beside the point. This Buff Ryan, it seems,
has inherited a small amount of money from a maiden
nat who passed away some time ago in Philadelphia. According
to our information, my firm is executor of her estate.
Mister Ryan came west about a year ago, and until
approximately six months ago he could be reached at a
Waring Street address in care of A. C. A.
Speaker 4: Douglas.
Speaker 5: But our corresponds to him there has been returned marked
unknown at this address.
Speaker 4: That's the last record you have on him.
Speaker 5: Yes, that's the last We've written to this U. C. A. Douglas,
but received no answer from him. I've called him since
I arrived in town. There's been no answer.
Speaker 4: Well, maybe they both left Tom moved away.
Speaker 5: That's possible, of course, but perhaps you'll find that out
when you get to checking on mister Ryan.
Speaker 4: I see, Well, I'm to find him if I can,
and tell him about this inheritance. Huh. By the way,
how much is it?
Speaker 5: Five thousand dollars? Just about misleader's entire estate?
Speaker 4: Mis Leader sounds like a comment.
Speaker 5: Her full name, you may want? That was Julie Leading.
I'm sorry I can't show you a picture of mister Ryan.
I'm expecting one to be sent out to me while
I'm here. Expected it this morning as a matter of fact.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well maybe a description of him will do. Have
you ever seen him? No?
Speaker 5: No, but we were able to find out that he's
slightly less than six feet tall, like brown hair, straight
blue eyes, weighed about one hundred and eighty pounds when
he left Philadelphia year ago. No distinguishing marks about him,
according to our description. Oh yes, and he's about thirty
five years old. Oh that's pretty complete. Oh you better
let me have the last address you have on Ryan.
Of course, I've written it down for you with the
phone number i've been calling. I'll be handling most of
my busy affairs right here at the hotel, mister Milow.
I'll appreciate it if you'll check in occasionally let me
know your progress. Oh sure, be glad to stay around
three o'clock this afternoon.
Speaker 4: Okay, tell you everything I know. But then yeah, but
then it might not be a thing.
Speaker 5: I know your reputation, mister milol. You'll find him, I'm sure.
Speaker 4: I don't get me wrong. It needs to be found.
I'll probably find him, but I have missed you know.
That's why I should want to rock the confidence of
a Philadelphia lawyer. I don't know. Maybe it was because
Martin Alman, for all his conservative Brooks Brothers attire, looked
too much or not enough like what he was supposed
to be. Maybe it was because the East Los Angeles
address he had handed me for buff Ryan was a
cent to be thirty degrees hotter. It was too Whering
Street was lined with gray little houses surrounded by small
gray lawns that it was straggling gray trees. The color
scheme was the the direct result of long years of
constant neglect. I knocked a long time on the door
of the C. A. Douglas residence. The porch was livered
with old papers and assortment of throwaways and leaves. The
only response I got was mu scrawny cat, also gray,
who leaped up on the porch rail to spit and
yewl at me. I yowled back and walked off the
porch in the general direction of my car. That's when
I noticed a smaller gray air house behind this one,
on the same lot, and I thought I saw a
curtain at the front window move slightly. A cat dogged
my steps back to sea. Yeah, oh, pardon me, but
I'm trying to locate CA Douglas. Does he still live
in the house in front of you?
Speaker 6: I don't know. I haven't seen mister Douglas quite a while.
Speaker 4: Oh you you think he moved away?
Speaker 7: Maybe?
Speaker 6: I don't know. How would I know?
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 6: Well, look, I'm in kind of a hurry. I'm getting dressed,
go to work.
Speaker 4: How long have you lived here?
Speaker 6: What difference does it make?
Speaker 4: Did you ever know a guy named buff Ryan?
Speaker 6: Of course not?
Speaker 4: Why? Of course not? Why not? Just know?
Speaker 6: Listen, I don't know hardly anybody, And I don't know
you what now it's the phone?
Speaker 5: Go away?
Speaker 6: Will you please, mister?
Speaker 4: No? No, I don't think I will. Honey. She was tall,
very blonde, very good to look at, a fresh blue
housecoat wrapped around just the way it should and even
after I entered the spotless little living room, the faint
aura of her cologne ling it on. I couldn't tell
anything about the phone conversation she was having in the
next room, but I could tell a lot about her
by the several scantily clad pictures of her that greeted
me from various points of the room. Yeah, I could
tell a lot about her.
Speaker 6: Huh, Hey, what's the idea? You just can't walk in here?
Do you want me to call the police?
Speaker 4: Especially? I just admiring your pictures? So yeah, you have
exceptional handwriting.
Speaker 6: You pretty nosy, aren't you.
Speaker 4: I particularly like this sample, where it says, for Buff
darling my love Blossom.
Speaker 6: Listen, mister, I got things to do, so run along.
Speaker 4: How long have your known Buff? Honey?
Speaker 8: You think I'm kidding about calling the cops? Well, I
do it all right, only only what only I'm due
downtown at work. I Oh, honest, mister, I'm not going
to talk to you anymore. You got no right to
ask me questions about anything, and nothing says I got answer.
Speaker 4: That's right, that's right, honey. You sure don't. Now where's Buff?
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 4: Drive you downtown and you can tell me all about it.
Speaker 6: Huh, you're driving me nowhere but out of my mind.
Speaker 4: I look like a good news for you. Boy. Want
to see me?
Speaker 6: Get out?
Speaker 4: Okay, Blossom, okay, what time's your first show too?
Speaker 6: How did you know?
Speaker 4: Yeah? I read the papers, and occasionally I've been known
to contribute to the cultural progress of Los Angeles, you know,
save the burlesque houses. The pictures she'd autographed the Buff
have been propped up between my sugar bowl and the
soul Shaker the Sunday morning before in the theatrical section
of the Sunday paper. Yeah, I didn't recognize it with
a housecoat on. And all the way back downtown I
reflected on the advantages of being well read well. I
parked in a lot on a side street to the
north end of skid Row and stopped for lunch at
a newspaper man's hangout nearby. It was almost time for
Blossom's first show when I felt fortified enough to walk
along the street past the blank stairs of the Winos
and the dank air of the Muscatel Missions. Blossom's flag
flew above the Marquee Blossom hour of bro Less.
Speaker 7: How many please?
Speaker 4: One? Huh? There you are? Say thanks? Say anything I
can get in to see Blossom.
Speaker 9: I don't see how you can miss with buying the
ticket and all.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, I mean I'd like to see her
personally in a dressing room. I'd like to talk to her.
Speaker 6: Well, I'm sure you have my permission.
Speaker 9: Whether or not you get Blossoms is strictly between her
and her moral fiber.
Speaker 4: You know something, and that much help.
Speaker 6: You know something.
Speaker 4: I don't try to be I'll miss you.
Speaker 2: Here.
Speaker 3: It is your very nat.
Speaker 10: I don't love to pass among you with these boxes.
I'm bess, just a candy. Don't forget what I beg you, Yes,
thank you very much, with the practice of every box.
So that's the lushes chalking the candy with the nuts
inside our very special break and you go every practice.
Speaker 4: It wasn't going to make a killing exactly. There weren't
more than six guys in the place. I wanted down
the side aisle to the door to one side of
the stage and push the door. I found myself in
a dark, narrow catwalk of the hallway. Show is going
to be out front.
Speaker 11: Back you guys can't go back here.
Speaker 4: This guy did. Where can I find blessom out front?
Speaker 11: About ten minutes.
Speaker 4: I'll wait for it back here. Thanks.
Speaker 11: Look, I can make myself clear.
Speaker 4: If I had guys push you would Your lighting system
is very bad back here.
Speaker 11: It lights out front where it count smack.
Speaker 4: Come on, get it, get easy, fellow, this is business.
I don't like being pushed.
Speaker 7: That can happen.
Speaker 4: You won't like you if you don't get out of here.
Speaker 12: You're causing too much commotion. I'll get out.
Speaker 4: Front with you.
Speaker 12: Belong yeah, yea.
Speaker 4: Look, I don't know who you are, and I can.
Speaker 12: Clear that up for you quick. Friend, I'm the manager
of this theater, and I'll run along like he did.
Speaker 4: Where can we talk in your office?
Speaker 12: Why should I talk to you.
Speaker 4: Because I'm a booking agent. I want to talk to
you about Blossom.
Speaker 12: She's booked.
Speaker 4: Okay, we'll talk about something else. Here's your office.
Speaker 12: Now, Look, the show is starting. We can't stay back
here follow me.
Speaker 4: Hey, Jerry, you sure I have a bunch of odd
lovers in the audience.
Speaker 12: Sure, sure, it's a class show. Come on through the
story all right? Now, then you're no booking agent. So
what's on your mind?
Speaker 4: Blossom? And what's your name?
Speaker 12: Blue? George Blue?
Speaker 4: Why would it mean anything to you? If I told
you that buff Ryan's aunt Julie died in Philadelphia and
left him five thousand.
Speaker 12: Bucks, wouldn't mean a thing.
Speaker 4: No, that's funny, because you're the first one to fit
the picture. What picture? Slightly under six feet tall, light
brown hair, straight blue eyes, about thirty five years old,
way about one?
Speaker 12: And what are you try and approve that you can
see me?
Speaker 4: Maybe? So my Philadelphia message doesn't interest you.
Speaker 12: Nothing about you interest me except how you got in
here in the first place.
Speaker 4: Bought a ticket.
Speaker 12: Then go on out and see the show.
Speaker 4: I think I will. I also think I'll stick around
and see Blossom after her performance.
Speaker 12: I wouldn't do that. I were you, I'd see the
show and get out. I don't want any trouble around here.
Speaker 4: I don't either. And if you see buff before the
show's over, tell him I'm out front, will you.
Speaker 12: I said, I don't want any trouble.
Speaker 4: You're in a rut. I walked down the aisle, would
look backstairs. Of course I had already charted. Blossom's costume
was less than newer than her blue hosse coat. It
was a school of thoughts surrounding me that this was
more effective. Near the door, I stopped a moment in
silent appreciation.
Speaker 7: Don't look at her like that.
Speaker 4: I didn't know. I want you.
Speaker 11: Don't get any more ideas, but come back to your
dressing room.
Speaker 4: I ain't gonna like that look. Go back to your seat.
Live it. A blue said it was okay.
Speaker 11: You wouldn't say that he knows better?
Speaker 4: All right, go tell him he knows better. Yeah, you
stay here is the same voice I met backstage the
first time, the same pungent odor of Muscatel, and before
he'd lunched back up the eye, I had a good
look at a twisted face and a pair of watery
blue eyes. Backstage, I waited for Blossoms act to conclude.
Speaker 3: It did ooh, in just a moment, We'll return to
the second act of Philip Marlowe, but first love that
Monday through Friday night session of Smiles. Beulah is back
with Hattie McDaniel again starring as an overgenerous, over anxious
to be wed, overweight damsel holding forth over CBS Radio.
Starting this Monday Night, listen for Beulah and the Henderson
Family in a new season of delightful day to day Doings.
Joins the fall parade of stars back to CBS Radio
on most of these stations beginning Monday Night Now with
our star Gerald Moore, the second act of Philip Marlowe
and Tonight's story There for g straight.
Speaker 4: I couldn't have been out long about eight bars of
imagination unless I'd missed a full chorus. At some point,
I was fuzzily aware of being carried sax style somewhere,
then being dropped not too gently onto what set of
the noisiest springs i'd ever heard this. Music lowed me
for a while, and then I heard a door slam
and my head rolled off on the floor and broke.
Speaker 6: Come on, Marlow, you're not dead?
Speaker 4: Is that official?
Speaker 6: How'd you get in here anyway?
Speaker 4: You wouldn't believe me if I told you. I hardly
believe it myself.
Speaker 6: You're not supposed to be here.
Speaker 4: I know, I know, I know. I had that pointed
out to me several times. Now. Yeah, and I didn't
think I told you my.
Speaker 6: Name You're while it was on the floor, I can read.
Speaker 4: Oh, well, good for you? Who hit me? And with
what size sandbag?
Speaker 6: I don't know?
Speaker 4: You never know anything? Do you listen?
Speaker 6: Mister Marla? You've been barging in all day where you're
not wanted.
Speaker 4: Why didn't you tell me Buff was a wine out? Hey?
Look look that's what's left of my head. Huh.
Speaker 6: I hope it hurt. I hope it hurt awful?
Speaker 4: You get your hope it did?
Speaker 12: I listen? You want? Pretty fed up with you?
Speaker 4: I'll just how you feel below. You know what you
told me. You don't want to any trouble. Okay, okay,
I'm going a blessing. What about Buff?
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 9: Never mind, now, don't tell me you want I'm a
mother ticket.
Speaker 4: I'd make kid, I've taken the cure.
Speaker 12: How is there moral fiber like.
Speaker 4: You brought her? You know a guy named buff Ryan
for free?
Speaker 6: I don't know my own mother?
Speaker 4: You do? See your point? Yeah? Here's mine memory getting
any better?
Speaker 6: It's clearing up.
Speaker 7: A little.
Speaker 12: Well.
Speaker 9: When he ain't here, which he ain't right now, he's
usually mother Morris's.
Speaker 4: That's for one, Mother Morris's h flappas.
Speaker 9: Three doors down, or for two, try Tilly's four doors
down a saloon.
Speaker 4: Thank you. Mother Morris couldn't help me, lovable old lush
that she was, And a penetrating search of the twenty
five cent bed she sow revealed a lot of things,
but no Buff Ryan. Tilly's downstairs next door didn't look
very promising at first, but that was before I saw
the twisted face with the watery blue eyes at the
far end of the bar. Beside him, the unofficial Dean
and Philosopher of skid Row, Jay Fenton Predis. I started
talling them, but a cordon of winos surrounded me before
I can reach him. That that's yeah, Prentice, I'm the
one you call the brothers here off, Make him breathe
in another direction and let me talk to Buff.
Speaker 13: We're a close association here, mister Mano. Outsiders are not
tell Oh come on, pradis you know me well enough? Perhaps,
mister Mallow, But we know each other better my associates
and I. My young friend Buff here quite obviously does
not twish to talk with you. We are merely respecting
his wishes in our own way.
Speaker 4: Come on, look, this is cock eye. Maybe this isn't
the place to say it, but you have inherited money, Buff.
That's all I came to tell.
Speaker 7: You who died?
Speaker 4: All right, Julie, I say anymore, Prentise, don't let him
get to me.
Speaker 7: I gotta get out of here.
Speaker 13: If you gentlemen will restrain mister Manloyeah, crazy fool.
Speaker 4: Lessen to me. That's a lawyer here pulling helve to
see it. He's at the broad view.
Speaker 1: Will him?
Speaker 4: I haven't sake it in touch with a lesson to me.
Speaker 7: WI.
Speaker 4: The lawyer's name is Martin Norman.
Speaker 12: Idiot co say him?
Speaker 4: They stupid dults, Thanks, Pranise. Nothing. Buff was nowhere to
be seen when I hit the street. Didn't matter it
was three o'clock. I delivered my message from Martin Norman.
Buff could take it from there. No, I may be wrong,
but most guys liked when Herod Doe said, you can
never tell with a whineo, and Buff was, as they say,
bona fide. Martin Alman was glad to see me. That
was a nice change of pace. I told him all
I knew. Didn't take long.
Speaker 5: I'm afraid you've had quite a bad experience, mister Marlowe.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Oh, by the way, this picture
arrives special delivery from Philadelphia about an hour ago. Oh
is this the reluctant chap you tracked down?
Speaker 4: Let me see that? Oh yeah, yeah, that's Buff before Muscatel.
Speaker 5: Well you've done a fine job, mister morlow I made
your checkout for you.
Speaker 4: Thanks.
Speaker 5: So he's going to try to get in touch with
Buff yourself, perhaps not personally, of course. You're certain that
wearing street addressed the little house in back should reach him.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, or I suppose you could get in touch
with him through Blossom at the Burles Theater.
Speaker 5: Well, we've done all we can for now. Unfortunately, I've
been called back to Philadelphia. I'm taking your plane out
in an hour.
Speaker 4: What about Buff and the inheritance?
Speaker 5: Well, now that I know he can be rich, we'll
mail it to him. After all, we can't force it,
how can we, mister marlow.
Speaker 4: Oh doesn't look like we can. Yeah, well he's are yours,
mister Olman?
Speaker 12: What?
Speaker 4: Norman seems satisfied that we've done our job. So I
left wishing someone would come up to me and tell
me what's the name? Had left me five thousand climes.
When I got back to my car, I had it
all figured how I'd go home and forget what Martin
had called quite a bad experience. One look inside my
car told me it wasn't gonna work out that way
at all.
Speaker 7: You weren't as long as I thought you'd be, mister Marlowe, and.
Speaker 4: You get him from skid Row Prentice fly I always taxi.
How nice for you?
Speaker 7: After you left Tilley's.
Speaker 13: I fell to thinking, mister Marlowe, quite afore it occurred
to me.
Speaker 7: That perhaps you were telling Buff the truth all the time.
Speaker 4: I was It's not important now, isn't.
Speaker 7: Oh? Yes, I should say it's quite important.
Speaker 13: Really, you mustn't be too hard on Buff, mister Marlowe,
He's like most men on the row. He probably has
his reasons for running, running from life, perhaps running from
himself or others.
Speaker 4: Are you trying to tell me something now.
Speaker 13: That would be presumptuous of me, mister Marlowe, temper justice
with mercy, that much I say to you, I tell
you Buff Ryan is running and with reason. If his
reason interests you, then I suggest you set about finding out.
Speaker 7: What it is.
Speaker 4: Was there any reason why I should know?
Speaker 7: No, there isn't. But as much I do know, he
has left the role and he is running.
Speaker 4: I saved Jay Frent and Pratiss's taxifair back to what
he affectionately referred to was the role. He wouldn't have
followed me if he hadn't wanted me to know something
peculiar about Buff And yet his odd code kept him
from telling me himself. And I knew that code well
enough to know it had something to do with the police. Yeah. Well,
like I say, I'm a curious fellow.
Speaker 5: Oh no, Phil, Is this a big time or small
time crooked?
Speaker 4: This Ryan? He's pretty small Sergeant money if he is one,
el No, not that I know of.
Speaker 5: Well, we'll try Ryan just for size. Buff's a crazy name.
Speaker 4: He's a crazy guy.
Speaker 7: You'll have to look for it, and Monica file here,
hold it, here.
Speaker 5: Is your guy.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's it. Let's see that
when take it out of there. I've seen that much
of a reckon suspect robbery charges dropped suspect extortion charges.
Trying wonder why they bothered to take his picture. I
don't know, buff Raglan Bob Rutler, A Doug A Douglas. Hello,
takes care of one question? Mine?
Speaker 3: Does it?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Take my word for a kid, it does. Let's
see last question in connection with this Julie Leader Philadelphia.
Wait a minute, Aunt Julie, Holy smoke. I knew I
didn't like this Martin Almond. I didn't bother to check
his record. I got the picture, No wonder. Buff ran
for me like the plague. Martin had sucked me into
setting Buff up for the kill Marlow the finger man.
That's great. Now. I got back to the theater and
practically nothing flat yank Blossom practically off stage, shoved her
into my car and roll like mad at the Little
Gray House. Behind the Little Gray House, Fredis said, Buffett
left skid roll if he was not on Wearing street.
He might be anywhere, including dead. Martin was paying off
a cab driver in front of the house. Blossom cued
me to the alley entrance and back.
Speaker 6: Please don't let anything happen to him.
Speaker 4: Oh cry now, honey, we'll make it in time to
just let us say.
Speaker 6: He's got to mister Marlow. He's my husband.
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, take it easy, baby, stand away. I'm a
blastemer kid. You listen, Buff Martin's coming in the front.
You can't waste time with that.
Speaker 11: I don't believe you allow you're part of the dealer.
Speaker 7: Hey, what is this?
Speaker 4: You should have listened to me. I'm sorry, Blossom, my
head to He's all right, he's just out a listen,
you've got to answer that front door. Answer it. I'll
be right behind the door. He won't do anything to you.
Just let come in.
Speaker 13: But I'm afraid.
Speaker 5: Oh come on, Oh how do you do I I
was looking for a gentleman by the name of Buff Ryan.
I'm an old friend of his. I understood he lived here.
Speaker 6: Yes, yes he does.
Speaker 5: Is he at home?
Speaker 6: Now?
Speaker 7: Yes?
Speaker 6: Won't you come in?
Speaker 5: Thank you?
Speaker 4: Thank me? I got his gun?
Speaker 6: Are you all right?
Speaker 4: Never felt better go throw some water on your boy
and get him in here. Maybe he'll talk now, maybe
I will.
Speaker 6: No, Buff, Darling, you're not hurt anymore.
Speaker 4: Honey, I don't figure you.
Speaker 11: I guess, Marlow.
Speaker 4: I thought you were on Martin's team. I was at
first when I thought the business about you inheriting the
five thousand bucks was legitimate. What's he got against you?
Speaker 11: I saw too much once about a year ago. So
Martin killed Julie Leader. I was the only one who
saw it. I knew he'd give me the same thing
if you ever got the chance. He can't do that now, Kenny.
Speaker 4: Not if you'll talk when we get the law here.
Speaker 6: Buff, why didn't you tell me?
Speaker 4: Silly question?
Speaker 5: Honey, Sure, Marlow, call the law.
Speaker 11: It'll be almost a pleasure to talk.
Speaker 4: So much for that. Buff and Blossom are doing fine.
Every once in a while we sit in the third
and yelled down in front. Yeah. He's got a good
job now, and soon they'll have enough for the traditional

Speaker 2: Welcome back. I have to say that the whole Philadelphia
lawyer set up screamed phony from the start, and Marlow
was kind of suspicious, But then not about it, because
I think he's had similar things happen and he should
require more documentation than just us says so. But at
any rate, I will say that I also did like
the Philosopher of skid Row. Well, that pretty interesting, fuch.
I wish they would had used more of them. All Right, Well,
I should let you know that we are actually running
out of Philip Marlow, and then we'll have one more
Philip Marlow special before we begin moving towards defense Attorney.
So a lot to look forward to in the weeks ahead.
