00:00:05,919 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: Hello, this is your host Adam Graham. The Great Adventurers

2
00:00:10,199 --> 00:00:14,080
of Old Time Radio is taking a break from posting

3
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:18,519
the new episodes, but we are sharing some adventure themed

4
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:23,359
episodes of other podcasts I've done over the years until

5
00:00:23,399 --> 00:00:28,839
we return on January eleventh for the premiere of Tarzan.

6
00:00:29,519 --> 00:00:34,399

7
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:38,679

00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:53,000
But now on with today's show. Welcome to the Amazing

11
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,439
World of Radio from Boise Idah. This is your host,

Adam Graham. If you have a comment, email it to

14
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:10,079
to our Summer of Bogart. That's right, Every Wednesday between

15
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,040
now and September sixth, we'll be bringing you a radio

16
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,319
program featuring the legendary Humphrey Bogart. In the course of

17
00:01:18,359 --> 00:01:22,480
this we're going to cover his great and classic films

18
00:01:22,799 --> 00:01:27,560
that were adapted to radio, Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Casablanca,

19
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,280
The Maltese Falcon.

20
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 2: And many more. And we'll also throw in a couple

21
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,719
episodes of his radio series Bold Venture. At the end

22
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,000
of the mini series, we'll mix it up with a

23
00:01:40,079 --> 00:01:44,359
few episodes. It wouldn't necessarily be considered typical bogie, but

24
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:49,200
which he nevertheless did over radio. But we begin with

25
00:01:49,439 --> 00:01:53,640
where Bogart began his career, and that was by playing

26
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:59,480
tough guys and gangsters. This predated his more heroic work,

27
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:04,040
was really an important part of making him known to

28
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:08,639
the public, kind of like Alan Ladd would later follow

29
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,319
the same path. And so we're going to start with

30
00:02:11,479 --> 00:02:16,000
a gangster picture he did with Edward g. Robinson and

31
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,719
it was adapted to the Lux Radio Theater. The original

32
00:02:19,759 --> 00:02:23,560
air at eight was April the seventeenth of nineteen thirty

33
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:32,319
nine and the title is Bullets or Ballots.

34
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 3: From Hollywood, California. The Lux Radio Theater presents Edward G.

35
00:02:36,199 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 4: Robinson in Bullets or Ballots with Marie Est, Humphrey Bogot,

36
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,319
and Otto Krueger.

37
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:53,319
Speaker 5: Nux Prison's Hollywood Bullets or Ballots. This is the question

38
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,159
answered in tonight's play, the vivid Drama of a Battle

39
00:02:56,199 --> 00:03:00,280
against Racketeers, screened by Warner Brothers. You'll hear it erring

40
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,120
Edward g Robinson, Mary Aster, Humphrey Bogart and Otto Kruger,

41
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,840
while our special guest is Frank b. Comfort, nationally known

42
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:12,800
criminologist Lewis Silver's conducts our music as a word before

43
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,479
hearing from our producer. Your complexion and the care you

44
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,439
give it is mighty important to you, isn't it. Then

45
00:03:19,479 --> 00:03:22,599
of course you don't want to take chances with inferior soaps.

46
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,080
You want to be sure the soap you use is

47
00:03:25,159 --> 00:03:29,080
non irritating, really mild. It's nice to know that every

48
00:03:29,199 --> 00:03:32,120
ingredient that goes into Gentle Lux toilet soap is tested

49
00:03:32,159 --> 00:03:34,439
for extra fine quality, for purity.

50
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,639
Speaker 4: Now you know why nine out of ten screen.

51
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 5: Stars use Lux toilet soap for their million dollar complexions.

52
00:03:40,759 --> 00:03:44,800
They can depend on its gentleness and mildness. You can too,

53
00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:48,560
and that's so important to your good looks, to your happiness.

54
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,639
So I hope you're making Lux Toilet soap your regular

55
00:03:51,639 --> 00:03:54,960
complexion care. If you haven't a generous supply on hand,

56
00:03:55,479 --> 00:03:59,599
put it on your shopping list now and now, the

57
00:04:00,039 --> 00:04:03,360
user of the Lux Radio Theater, Ladies and gentlemen, mister

58
00:04:03,479 --> 00:04:14,439
Cecil B de Mille, Greetings from Hollywood ladies and gentlemen.

59
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,879
Racketeering is a comparatively new word in the American language,

60
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,759
but an old bug bay in American history. Following the Revolution,

61
00:04:23,199 --> 00:04:27,000
American vessels in the Mediterranean were plundered and their crews

62
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,240
thrown into slavery so frequently that the United States, to

63
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,319
continue commerce in those waters, signed a treaty with the

64
00:04:33,319 --> 00:04:37,319
pirate's ruler, the Sultan of Algiers. Uncle Sam paid eight

65
00:04:37,399 --> 00:04:41,120
hundred thousand dollars for the ransom of imprisoned sailors, and

66
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,759
for years paid an addition of twenty three thousand dollars

67
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,680
annually as a guarantee for future safety, until our navy,

68
00:04:47,759 --> 00:04:52,120
under Stephen Decatur, forever ended this racket of the barbary pirates.

69
00:04:52,959 --> 00:04:57,000
Today's racketeers, dealing in millions of dollars, would scorn the

70
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,480
modest sums involved in historical racketeering, and only by militant

71
00:05:01,519 --> 00:05:04,759
public resistance such as that shown in to Night's play

72
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:09,079
Bullets are Ballots can America perch herself of these internal parasites.

73
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,839
In his screen characterizations, Edward G. Robinson has often lived

74
00:05:13,879 --> 00:05:17,000
outside the law, but to Night he walks a straight

75
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,879
and narrow path as he pins a badge inside his

76
00:05:19,959 --> 00:05:23,040
coat and becomes as he did in the picture Detective

77
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,120
Johnny Blake and established air personality because of his own

78
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:31,319
program Big Town. This fast talking, fist swinging favorite is

79
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,839
from Warner Brother's studio and will soon appear in Confessions

80
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,560
of a Nazi Spy. In Bullets Are Ballots, you saw

81
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,800
another brilliant performance by one of the screen's best bad men,

82
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:46,519
Humphrey Bogart, who likes playing villains and to night, resumes

83
00:05:46,519 --> 00:05:50,079
the part of Bugs Brenner. In our Glamour Division, there

84
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,560
is Mary Astor, who brings her loveliness and talent to

85
00:05:53,639 --> 00:05:57,399
the role of Lee Morgan. Otto Krueger displays his genius

86
00:05:57,399 --> 00:06:00,600
for the sinister and changes only his first name in

87
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,160
playing Al Kruger. We raise the curtain now and the

88
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,639
Lux Radio Theater presents Edward G. Robinson in Bullets or

89
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:12,680
Ballots with Mary Asta, Humphrey Bogat, and Otto Kruger. A

90
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,720
radio station in a large eastern city. At a table

91
00:06:23,759 --> 00:06:26,560
in one of the smaller studios, a man reads earnestly

92
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,839
from a typewritten page behind the glass enclosure. The radio

93
00:06:30,879 --> 00:06:34,319
engineer sends the speaker's voice out across the city into

94
00:06:34,319 --> 00:06:38,040
the homes of listening millions. The man nears the end

95
00:06:38,079 --> 00:06:38,720
of his speech.

96
00:06:40,399 --> 00:06:42,959
Speaker 6: So, ladies and gentlemen of the radio audience, there are

97
00:06:42,959 --> 00:06:46,399
a thousand rackets, rackets which are forcing prices beyond the

98
00:06:46,399 --> 00:06:50,439
reach of the poor, looting business, food, laundry, poultry, dry cleaning.

99
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,040
And still the American people up the racket. Here go

100
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,560
free men like al Kruger, protected against the law, returned

101
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,399
from mock trials, to collect their share of the two

102
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,040
hundred million dollar plunder taken each year from this city alone.

103
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 4: And again I.

104
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:09,399
Speaker 6: Say these rackets must be stopped, Ladies and gentlemen. I've

105
00:07:09,399 --> 00:07:13,839
been ordered by the Crime Combine to discontinue these broadcasts.

106
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:18,120
The gentlemen who phoned added or else for his information.

107
00:07:18,199 --> 00:07:21,519
I shall continue the broadcast regularly, and my papers will

108
00:07:21,519 --> 00:07:25,199
continue the present policy of open attack on racketeers and

109
00:07:25,279 --> 00:07:29,120
directors of organized crime, who are the really dangerous enemies

110
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:29,959
of society.

111
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 4: Ladies and gentlemen, you have been listening to mister Ward

112
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,399
Bryant and his march against crime. Mister Bryant will be

113
00:07:36,439 --> 00:07:41,959
heard again at this scene. All right, Bryant and I Joe,

114
00:07:42,079 --> 00:07:44,360
that was a fine speech to night. Mister Bryant. I

115
00:07:44,399 --> 00:07:46,360
heard it here on the speaker down the hall. Glad

00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,720
you like it? Let me a cat, will you, Joe? Sure, yes, sir,

117
00:07:50,839 --> 00:07:53,480

118
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,199
I hey, come, mister Bryant.

119
00:07:55,839 --> 00:08:09,920

00:08:26,279 --> 00:08:26,639

125
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 3: Come on, miss Lee?

00:08:29,759 --> 00:08:30,120

Speaker 3: Why are you surprised? How are the collections today? Herman?

Bronx even better than in Harlem. Here here's one day's collections.

00:10:12,039 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 4: But I don't like to see decent people pushed around and.

170
00:10:14,399 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 12: Something big breaks down there in your old stamp and

171
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:17,320
grounded gets under your.

172
00:10:17,279 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 3: Skin, doesn't it?

173
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:19,279
Speaker 13: What makes you think?

174
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 4: So?

175
00:10:19,639 --> 00:10:21,279
Speaker 3: The only time I ever see you take a drink.

176
00:10:21,799 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 13: Oh no, this.

177
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 4: Is just a celebration. I found out who stole Missus

178
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:27,320
Blaussmayer's laundry.

179
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 3: Ah, that must have been something. It was you weren't

180
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:30,919
on the level.

181
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 4: Sure, I've been transferred up here now regular.

182
00:10:34,159 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 12: Well, for that's a fine finish for a great police career,

183
00:10:38,639 --> 00:10:39,039
isn't it.

184
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,879
Speaker 3: Trying to find stolen laundry in the Bronx.

185
00:10:42,159 --> 00:10:44,519
Speaker 4: Well, it's better than being pentched off with the fire horses.

186
00:10:44,879 --> 00:10:47,600
I'm not kidding myself. I'm no use to them downtown.

187
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,039
Speaker 12: Anymore, but with things like this Brian killing going on,

188
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:51,440
it looks like they need you plenty.

189
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,279
Speaker 3: They ought to have your whole flying squad back in action.

190
00:10:54,519 --> 00:10:57,399
Speaker 4: Now they don't believe in kicking the rats line anymore.

191
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,840
Nowadays you're supposed to kiss them and tuck them in.

192
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:01,639
Speaker 3: Your friend McLaren doesn't think so.

193
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 13: McLaren's only a captain. He takes orders too.

194
00:11:04,039 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 3: So you just go on staying loyal to McLaren in

195
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:07,639
the police department.

196
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 4: Though, That's about it, and looking for laundry. Sure, someday

197
00:11:12,279 --> 00:11:15,440
Mac will be back up on top and you won't

198
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:16,840
have to worry about me anymore.

199
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:24,279
Speaker 3: Johnny who killed Bryant al Krueger, you're sure of it.

200
00:11:24,279 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 4: It was now himself one of his stooges bugs Brenner, maybe,

201
00:11:28,519 --> 00:11:30,559
how do you know? Well, Krueger had the most to

202
00:11:30,639 --> 00:11:33,399
lose by a cleanup. He controls every racket in town. Yeah,

203
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,720
not the numbers, the numbers, I'll say that small time.

204
00:11:37,279 --> 00:11:39,360
If it ever gets big enough, he'll grab it, just

205
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,000
like he's grabbed everything else. He's got an organization that

206
00:11:42,159 --> 00:11:45,399
guy crime incorporate it, protect it right down the line.

207
00:11:46,279 --> 00:11:48,080
They can't lay a finger on him until we find

208
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,480
out who's behind him. The higher ups you know who

209
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,559
see to it. But he gets away with anything he wants,

210
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:53,519
including murder.

211
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 3: I wish they'd let you take a crack at this job.

212
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,159
Speaker 4: Why feeling sorry for me?

213
00:11:59,639 --> 00:12:03,039
Speaker 12: Maybe just because I hate to see a swell guy

214
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:04,080
eating his heart out.

215
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 13: I'll forget it.

216
00:12:06,919 --> 00:12:08,919
Speaker 4: Well, see you around.

217
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 3: When, Johnny. It's a long time between your visits.

218
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 4: You know, I'll make it soon. Hey, I thought you

219
00:12:15,759 --> 00:12:17,240
didn't let mugs into this place.

220
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:18,519
Speaker 3: I don't when I know them.

221
00:12:18,799 --> 00:12:19,799
Speaker 13: Well, look who's coming in?

222
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 4: Who is he? Pray? I seen them up to sing

223
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,480
sing a couple of years ago. Well, well, well, if

224
00:12:26,519 --> 00:12:30,320
it ain't Detective Blake. The parole board turned you loose

225
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,759
on the public again. Eh, yeah, no, thanks to you.

226
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,519
Well I hear they cut the big shot detective down

227
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,799
the size. Gee. It must be tough not to be

228
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,559
able to kick the boys around anymore and make them

229
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,639
tip their hats to you. Yeah, but they still do

230
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,399
a to a bronx flat foot.

231
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 13: Yeah, and as.

232
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 4: Long as I'm part of the forest, they'll keep on

233
00:12:55,519 --> 00:12:57,639
tipping their house. Remember it next time?

234
00:12:57,759 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 3: All right, everybody, it's all over. Hey, throw that guy out, Newsy.

235
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:09,399
Speaker 4: Carry Well, I guess I'll go downtown see what's going on.

236
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 3: You haven't lost your gentle touch, have you?

237
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 14: Johnny?

238
00:13:12,759 --> 00:13:13,519
Speaker 4: I see you soon.

239
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 14: What do you want?

240
00:13:21,759 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 4: I want to see Al Krueger. Yeah, Flake's the name,

241
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:31,039
Detective Blake. Oh wait a minute, Hey, yeah, a guy

242
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,799
named Blake, Johnny Blake.

243
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 15: Oh, come in, Johnny? All right, Benure get out. Hello, Well, hi, Johnny,

244
00:13:41,879 --> 00:13:46,440
sit down, big night for you. Huh working overtime?

245
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:47,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, that happens a lot.

246
00:13:48,159 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 13: Now, you're right, it's suposed to be doing all right?

247
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:56,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, about five thousand last week? Five hundred thousand, Jim, mean,

248
00:13:56,519 --> 00:14:01,279
maybe I can't count that high? See guy thanks. I

249
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,159
thought you were homesteading in the Bronx. What are you

250
00:14:04,159 --> 00:14:06,799
doing down this nigger the woods? Oh, just poking around

251
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:11,200
the old hangouts. What do you think of Brian's death? Yeah,

252
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,399
just reading about it. Too bad. It was a fine fellow.

253
00:14:15,399 --> 00:14:18,360
Now they'll probably blame it on you. Well, you're telling me.

254
00:14:18,879 --> 00:14:20,799
A couple of the boys are up here from headquarters

255
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,480
a half hour ago. They were very nice about it, though.

256
00:14:23,679 --> 00:14:26,000
That's the trouble they have to be. You'd have taken

257
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,039
me around the corner and rolled up a newspaper. Yeah,

258
00:14:28,039 --> 00:14:30,639
I guess I would, And I didn't get much out

259
00:14:30,679 --> 00:14:32,399
of you. The last time I gave you going over

260
00:14:33,039 --> 00:14:34,799
he came close, and I wish I hadn't known it

261
00:14:34,799 --> 00:14:37,480
at the time. You'd have got some more and I

262
00:14:37,519 --> 00:14:43,120
wanted to get you on that wrap. Eh, good old days. Yeah,

263
00:14:43,279 --> 00:14:46,879
you traveled a long way since then. Well, you'd have

264
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:48,799
gone a long way too. If you're thrown in with

265
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,720
me the first time I asked you, maybe I would.

266
00:14:52,399 --> 00:14:54,159
You'd have been a great help with this business, Johnny.

267
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,320
You know more about the inside of this town than

268
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,879
any bird that ever lived in it. If I'd gone

269
00:14:59,879 --> 00:15:02,679
in with you, well i'd have done it to nail you. Ah, No,

270
00:15:02,879 --> 00:15:06,039
you wouldn't. You'll never double cross anyone in your life,

271
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,480
even a crook. If he told you something in confidence,

272
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,200
you rowed the pants off all of us. But you

273
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,200
always let us know where you stood. Yes, you always

274
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,320
known what I thought of you. Yeah, you're the only

275
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:22,159
fellow that I'd take it from. Well, I still want

276
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,159
you to throw in with me, Johnny, I'll stick with

277
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,600
the department after all the kicking around they've given you.

278
00:15:26,679 --> 00:15:29,440
M m, you're a chump. All you'll get out of

279
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,480
it is a petty larceny pension. I could do more

280
00:15:32,559 --> 00:15:34,600
for you in a year than you learn in a

281
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:35,840
lifetime on the force.

282
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:37,879
Speaker 13: Oh maybe I'd like to make my money the hard way.

283
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:43,159
Speaker 4: H No, I'll probably still be asking you ten years

284
00:15:43,159 --> 00:15:47,320
from now, if you live that long. Yeah, you see

285
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,720
the papers about, Hey, what's he doing here?

286
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 13: Well, if it isn't Bugs Brenna.

287
00:15:52,639 --> 00:15:54,799
Speaker 4: I'll forgetting out of here. Blake. All your horse is Buggers,

288
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,440
I asked John m Am. I now Bugs hasn't been

289
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,080
able to forget the week he spent in the hospital

290
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,159
after you took that swing at me. I don't think

291
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:10,000
much of me, see you around. Oh, I've got the

292
00:16:10,039 --> 00:16:14,080
compliment you bugs. Nice clean job you did on Brian.

00:16:22,919 --> 00:16:23,799
know your ten cents?

Speaker 14: Tug?

298
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:25,799
Speaker 4: I told you to leave Brian alone. I didn't know

299
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,600
nothing about him, no matter of what him is He dead? Yes,

300
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,879
he's dead, and you did it. I pull you off

301
00:16:30,879 --> 00:16:32,200
a truck and you pay me back by taking a

302
00:16:32,279 --> 00:16:35,240
chance on ruining a million dollar gold mine. Someday you'll

303
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:36,840
get wife to the fact of the strong arm stuff

304
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,000

was it the big fellaws, first time they've called in

00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:02,960
six months. When they call it this time of night,

311
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,359
it means they're going to rake me over plenty. They're

312
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:06,839
liable to pull the props out from under me for

313
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,319

337
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,119

339
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 4: Oh?

345
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:04,039
Speaker 4: Well high Lee, I never thought you'd get over this way.

346
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 3: Well shall we just stand here and swing on the door?

347
00:19:06,839 --> 00:19:12,319

Speaker 13: That's right? Yeah, sit down and make you so comfortable?

350
00:19:16,279 --> 00:19:16,759
Speaker 3: Who did it?

00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:17,519
Speaker 13: McLaren?

352
00:19:18,599 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 12: And you're the one that was telling me that when

353
00:19:20,279 --> 00:19:22,359
McLaren got on top of everything, it'd be just fine

354
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,640
and dand I was wrong. Sure about time you got

355
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,839
wise to yourself around this town.

356
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:29,559
Speaker 3: The only reason friends pat you on the back is

357
00:19:29,599 --> 00:19:31,039
to find an easy place to break it.

358
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:32,599
Speaker 13: You're a friend, aren't you.

359
00:19:32,759 --> 00:19:34,279
Speaker 3: I guess you're dumb enough to think so.

360
00:19:34,559 --> 00:19:39,799
Speaker 13: Oh No, I'm not dumb, Lee. You like me pretty well.

361
00:19:39,839 --> 00:19:41,240
That goes both ways.

362
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 4: No, whenen and home life had been in my line,

363
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:46,480
i'd have fallen to you a long time ago.

364
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 3: It's been sort of nice, wouldn't it.

365
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 13: Yeah, it wasn't in the cards.

366
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 4: Leave.

367
00:19:52,799 --> 00:19:57,359

00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,480
get enough salary to say much, did you, Johnny? I

369
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:04,759
suppose you'll be looking for a job. I thought you

370
00:20:04,839 --> 00:20:06,440
might like to come in with me and help me

371
00:20:06,519 --> 00:20:07,519
run the numbers game.

372
00:20:07,599 --> 00:20:10,680

373
00:20:10,799 --> 00:20:12,839
Speaker 3: Oh, I won't have. It's getting bigger all the time.

374
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,799
Some weeks it brings in ten to twelve thousand.

375
00:20:16,799 --> 00:20:21,039
Speaker 4: By twelve thousand, that penny out a game. Well, the

376
00:20:21,079 --> 00:20:22,359
last time you told me about it, you were only

377
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:23,160
getting a few hundred.

378
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,039
Speaker 12: I know, but they're crazy about it in Harlem, and

379
00:20:25,079 --> 00:20:27,839
now it's going over in the Bronx. Please come in

380
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:29,960
and help me run it, Johnny. You could do a

381
00:20:30,039 --> 00:20:32,559
swell job of building it up. You'd make a lot

382
00:20:32,599 --> 00:20:33,559
of money for both.

383
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,039
Speaker 13: Of us pretty regularly.

384
00:20:35,319 --> 00:20:39,079
Speaker 4: You'll do it, No, not a chance. Any money I

385
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,680
made would be just coming out of your pocket. I

386
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:42,960
don't take money away from women.

387
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 3: Well, I thought i'd tell you about it.

388
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:46,839
Speaker 13: Well, thanks, you.

389
00:20:46,799 --> 00:20:50,440

525
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,160
the fights. You know, Johnny, you ought to learn to

526
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,079
pull those punches. What if I pull him?

527
00:28:16,079 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 13: They look phony? How'd you dow.

528
00:28:18,559 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 4: Still in a sling? Oh? What you thought the first fall?

529
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:23,759
This time I had.

530
00:28:23,599 --> 00:28:25,279
Speaker 13: To see a loan. This was the only way I

531
00:28:25,279 --> 00:28:26,000
could manage it.

532
00:28:26,279 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 4: Well, what happens next? I wish I knew.

533
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:29,640
Speaker 13: Here.

534
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 4: Here's another report, a whole poetry racket down through names

535
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:34,720
and addresses.

536
00:28:35,319 --> 00:28:37,880
Speaker 13: Yeah, this is a plain of garage, a business headquarters,

537
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:38,480
so forth.

538
00:28:39,359 --> 00:28:41,359
Speaker 4: Yeah. I afraid it won't do much good though, except

539
00:28:41,359 --> 00:28:43,480
for raids. Well, that's good enough for the time being.

540
00:28:44,319 --> 00:28:46,720
We've been doing pretty well on your information, Johnny.

541
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 13: So I've been reading in the papers.

542
00:28:48,799 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 4: Did you find out who boss's Krube? Now? All I

543
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:52,799
know is that there is somebody higher up and he

544
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:56,480
controls everything. Now we can nail that bird. The whole

545
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,680
works were pulled up on the inside. Does Brenna know

546
00:28:58,720 --> 00:28:59,359
who it is? Now?

547
00:28:59,519 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 13: Nobody except except Kruger.

548
00:29:01,759 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 4: Do you think you'll never get it out of him?

549
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 13: Haha?

550
00:29:03,599 --> 00:29:06,119
Speaker 4: Not a chance? Well, well, how are you working it?

551
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,720
We've got to know now. Look is Kruger is number

552
00:29:08,759 --> 00:29:12,319
one man. If anything happens to Kruger, and I'm going

553
00:29:12,359 --> 00:29:15,759
to see that it does, Brenner steps up, but I'm

554
00:29:15,759 --> 00:29:17,400
not going to let him because I'm going to step

555
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,799
into mister Brander's pot. How well, I don't know yet.

556
00:29:20,119 --> 00:29:21,480
Is that all you got to tell me? That's all

557
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,920
for now except keep on smashing him a smashes. You

558
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,319
get my instructions. When the break comes, I'll know what

559
00:29:26,359 --> 00:29:27,839
to do. Until then, you've got to play the cards

560
00:29:27,839 --> 00:29:33,680
the way ideal them. There's only one thing tough about it, though,

561
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:38,160
what's that? Well Krueger he's just as much of a

562
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:39,720
rat as the rest of him. He knock me off

563
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,720
in a minute if you found out that, and I'll.

564
00:29:42,559 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 13: Hate to cross him.

565
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 19: Because you haven't given him an even break. Yeah, well,

566
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:51,240
I haven't given you one either. He had another man

567
00:29:51,279 --> 00:29:53,759
on the horseh tried to smash that mob. They threw

568
00:29:53,799 --> 00:29:58,680
acid in his face. His headlights don't burn anymore. I

569
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:02,960
handed you a rotten job, Johnny. Alright, I asked for it. Hey,

570
00:30:03,039 --> 00:30:05,160
all I know is handling mugs.

571
00:30:05,559 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 4: I had to come back to work for you, but

572
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:11,279
I had to ride a horse or hand out traffic tickets. Yeah,

573
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,559
Truger's lawyers in the office the rich for you. All right,

574
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:18,240
come on, that's alarmac and take care of yourself, Johnny.

575
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 13: Sure, as soon as I'm sexually here from me.

576
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:30,799
Speaker 4: In the meantime, make them tip their hats. You hate

577
00:30:30,799 --> 00:30:33,200

578
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:37,160

579
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,440
I mean Joe too, Buggs. I'm running this offit.

580
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:48,279
Speaker 13: Ye oh, thanks for the fast legal service. How it's

581
00:30:48,279 --> 00:30:48,640
the matter?

582
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,319
Speaker 4: What is this? Wait? It might be see in the

583
00:30:52,319 --> 00:30:55,880
papers you racket raige net twenty one.

584
00:30:57,319 --> 00:30:59,759
Speaker 13: H nice picture of McLaren.

585
00:31:00,119 --> 00:31:03,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, the boys think you're working for him. I'm wondering.

586
00:31:03,759 --> 00:31:07,319
I'm not buck Shut up? What have you got to say, Johnny,

587
00:31:07,559 --> 00:31:10,599
Oh sure, sure, all I just sold you right down

588
00:31:10,599 --> 00:31:13,359
the river. The cops said they were sorry they kicked

589
00:31:13,359 --> 00:31:15,759
me off the forest. Why McLaren sent me a basket

590
00:31:15,759 --> 00:31:17,359
of flowers for hitting him on the jaw? Said? If

591
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:18,799
I want to come back and give me the whole

592
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,640
rocks to wander around in, I wouldn't clown Johnny. Ah,

593
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,440
weare wise to you, Blake. You're true.

594
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 13: Oh no, I'm just starting.

595
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:29,599
Speaker 4: Hey, now listen, copicking hands. I don't like guys that

596
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:34,119
put the hands on me. Let's keep this a business meeting,

597
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:36,480
all right, start talking.

598
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 13: Well, I might have work for you because you wanted help.

599
00:31:41,039 --> 00:31:43,319
Speaker 4: I didn't come to you. You came to me. Now

600
00:31:43,359 --> 00:31:46,720
you think I crossed you. I couldn't get a dime

601
00:31:46,799 --> 00:31:48,599
a dozen if I had a less whole mob over

602
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:52,279
to the cops and you know it. You see now

603
00:31:52,359 --> 00:31:55,359
I need help well, and you need plenty of it. Hey, Allie,

604
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,240
you're going to let this guy talk his way out.

605
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:02,079
Shut up, keep talking. Johnny never fails as it and

606
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,279
months getting the jam. They only start off by knighting

607
00:32:04,319 --> 00:32:07,960
each other. I thought you were smarter. What would you suggest? Well,

608
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,759
let McLaren have his fun. You can't stop him. As

609
00:32:10,759 --> 00:32:12,519
soon as he's made of showing, the grand jury'll fold

610
00:32:12,599 --> 00:32:14,319
up right under him, they always, do you know that?

611
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,039
Sure that? Meanwhile, we sit back and wind up rope. No,

612
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,720
spend your time building up new rackets. So then McLaren

613
00:32:19,759 --> 00:32:21,400
comes up for raire. If find a dozen more going,

614
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,440
let's pull them right out of the hat. Huh. Now

615
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:25,759
you just go to work. Quit playing cops and robbers,

616
00:32:25,759 --> 00:32:27,920
stop knighting each other. I suppose you've got a good

617
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:33,880
record in mind, Well name it. Sure, I've got one numbers,

618
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,880
go ahead, that's the odds against picking the right number

619
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,799
out of from one to a thousand, Well, thousand to one,

620
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,400
that's it. And we take the last three numbers of

621
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,039
the racetrack pay off. Every day the suckers try to

622
00:32:45,039 --> 00:32:46,920
guess it. My pay off of six hundred to one.

623
00:32:47,599 --> 00:32:50,680
That is, if anybody picks the right number, A lot

624
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,279
of people will try to pick that every day, if

625
00:32:52,279 --> 00:32:54,279
one dollar will win them six hundred. What are you

626
00:32:54,359 --> 00:32:56,720
trying to sell us that, Penny Andy Gameley Mortgan's running

627
00:32:56,759 --> 00:32:58,680
up in the Bronx and Harlem. Well, it's so Kenny

628
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:00,559
add here that she's picking up twelve thousand a week

629
00:33:00,559 --> 00:33:02,920
out of a few neighborhood stores, most of the best

630
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:06,359
of Nicholson dimes. Our seven million people in this town,

631
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,759
and all of them looking for easy money. You just

632
00:33:08,799 --> 00:33:10,680
offer them six hundred and one. Watch this thing spread

633
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:12,640
like a four alarm fire, and they won't be playing

634
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:16,160
one number apiece. They'll be picking four or five. If

635
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,440
you want to control the winning number, you can pay

636
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,200
off on racetrack bets and manipulate the totals.

637
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 13: I all it needs his organization.

638
00:33:24,359 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 4: You get a million people buying numbers every day, and

639
00:33:26,519 --> 00:33:29,400
this one racket will clean up three hundred million dollars

640
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,960
a year. Why it's easy. It's a cinch. Three hundred million,

641
00:33:33,079 --> 00:33:37,839
that's right. And somebody says something about Penny Andy. All right,

642
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,839
you fellas beat it. Mister Blake and me want to

643
00:33:40,839 --> 00:33:47,720
talk business? I said, beat it, okay, mister Kruger Ice

644
00:33:47,839 --> 00:33:53,799

645
00:33:53,799 --> 00:33:56,799
pretty smart guy. Yeah. My mother used to say I

646
00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:10,519
was going to be president. Miss Lee, Miss Lee, I

647
00:34:10,599 --> 00:34:11,719
gotta see you right away.

648
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 3: What's the better herman? Where'd you get that shiner?

649
00:34:14,639 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 4: Miss Leigh? It's important?

650
00:34:16,079 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 9: Come inside, well, herman, spill it.

651
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 10: They took the money away from me, the numbers money,

652
00:34:23,039 --> 00:34:24,119
the bag and everything.

653
00:34:24,199 --> 00:34:27,079
Speaker 4: Who did I don't know. Some men. They stopped me

654
00:34:27,159 --> 00:34:29,079
on the street. They told me to keep my face

655
00:34:29,119 --> 00:34:29,599
out of there.

656
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,079
Speaker 10: They said I couldn't even make collections no more?

657
00:34:32,159 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 9: Oh they did?

658
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:33,199
Speaker 3: Did they?

659
00:34:33,599 --> 00:34:33,760
Speaker 4: All?

660
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:35,199
Speaker 3: Right? Sit tight, herman?

661
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:36,199
Speaker 4: What are you gonna do?

662
00:34:36,639 --> 00:34:39,159
Speaker 3: Their mugs mission. I'm gonna tell Johnny Blake about it.

663
00:34:39,159 --> 00:34:40,800
He'll run those chiselers right off the end of the

664
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:54,000
ninety third Street. Doc, wait here, I'll be right back. Oh, clerk, clerk, Yes, miss,

665
00:34:54,599 --> 00:34:56,719
I was told that mister John Blake had moved here.

666
00:34:57,199 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 4: That's correct.

667
00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 3: I like to see him.

668
00:34:58,360 --> 00:34:58,599
Speaker 14: Please.

669
00:34:58,599 --> 00:34:59,559
Speaker 3: My name is Lee Morgan.

670
00:35:00,039 --> 00:35:01,840
Speaker 4: Sorry, but mister Blake isn't in his room. He left

671
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:02,519
just a moment ago.

672
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 3: No, thanks you.

673
00:35:04,079 --> 00:35:08,320
Speaker 4: Very well, evening. Are you looking for Johnny Blake?

674
00:35:08,679 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 3: Why, yes, I am.

675
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 4: My name is Brenner. Maybe I can help you.

676
00:35:13,039 --> 00:35:14,199
Speaker 3: I gotta find him right away.

677
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:16,639
Speaker 4: Ain't you to leave? Morgan runs the numbers game in

678
00:35:16,679 --> 00:35:20,599
the Bronx. Yeah, I hear they started running you out

679
00:35:20,599 --> 00:35:21,119
of it tonight.

680
00:35:21,159 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 3: Well, they won't get away with it.

681
00:35:22,519 --> 00:35:25,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know it's a dirty trick. I don't blame

682
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:26,159
it for gunning.

683
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:27,760
Speaker 3: For Blake, gunning for him.

684
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's the one that's taking it over Blake.

685
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:32,679
Speaker 3: You're a liar.

686
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 4: Oh, he's grabbing it to put himself in strong with

687
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,440
Al Krueger. Why don't you go in and nask him.

688
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:38,880
He's in the coffee shop.

689
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 9: Yeah, thanks, Hello Johnny? O.

690
00:35:48,199 --> 00:35:51,519
Speaker 13: Lee, Well down, Lee?

691
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:53,599
Speaker 3: Thanks, but I may not be staying long.

692
00:35:54,519 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 13: No, what's on your mind?

693
00:35:57,199 --> 00:36:00,320
Speaker 3: Just one thing? Are you taking over the number game?

694
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:00,760
Speaker 9: Johnny?

695
00:36:01,679 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 14: Well?

696
00:36:02,079 --> 00:36:05,599
Speaker 3: Are you yes? Why?

697
00:36:06,159 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 13: I can't tell you.

698
00:36:08,159 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 3: I see, I tried to take you in with me.

699
00:36:12,039 --> 00:36:14,159
Speaker 20: Sort of worked out better to toss it to the wolves,

700
00:36:14,159 --> 00:36:14,719
didn't it.

701
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 13: Well? I thought they'd let you keep on running your end.

702
00:36:20,039 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 12: I guess that wasn't poetry about friends finding an easy

703
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:24,039
place to break the back.

704
00:36:25,199 --> 00:36:26,760
Speaker 3: So long, Johnny, Good luck to you.

705
00:36:38,559 --> 00:36:44,599
Speaker 4: Thirty forty thousand and one makes forty one thousand. That's

706
00:36:44,639 --> 00:36:45,320
your cut, Johnny.

707
00:36:46,079 --> 00:36:47,599
Speaker 13: Thanks, that's not so bad.

708
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, you earned it. That was a great idea, taking

709
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:55,239
over the numbers. Guess what, By the way, you better

710
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:58,400
sink that cash in the safety de prisot box. Don't

711
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:02,239
put it in a regular account. Huh oh oh sure,

712
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,679
safety push, I get it. Is that what you do. Well,

713
00:37:06,639 --> 00:37:08,760
it's easier to get at it and they can't trace it.

714
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,079
Speaker 13: Oh, you and the losses must have had to take

715
00:37:11,079 --> 00:37:11,800
over a volt.

716
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,599
Speaker 4: I don't know where they put theirs, but they're plenty happy. Hey,

717
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:20,480
how about meeting him sometimes now that chance. I'm the

718
00:37:20,519 --> 00:37:22,400
only one that knows who they are, and I guess

719
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:25,159
they wanted to stay that way. I suppose you can't

720
00:37:25,159 --> 00:37:27,119
blame them. Ugn night out.

721
00:37:28,599 --> 00:37:32,679
Speaker 13: Oh, I say, what would happen to him if you

722
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:33,480
got lost?

723
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:38,840
Speaker 4: Pick someone else and keep on going bet huh No,

724
00:37:40,119 --> 00:37:45,400
it would probably be you me. Yeah, they think you're

725
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,079
the best man I've got. You wouldn't want it, Johnny,

726
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:52,519
the top job, but it's the last one guy ever holds.

727
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:56,159
There's only one way out. That's the payoff for helping them.

728
00:37:56,239 --> 00:38:00,599
Huh yeah, but don't worry about getting it. I don't

729
00:38:00,639 --> 00:38:05,519
intend to get long. Oh sure, well, good night.

730
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:14,159
Speaker 13: Hello, Hello McLaren.

731
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is Johnny Blake. I'm ready to go. Mac

732
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,880
grab Krueger right away. Wait a minute, I can't come

733
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:21,320
on the rest like that. You've got to and put

734
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,880
him where nobody can get at him. Well, I've got

735
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:25,880
no time to answer a question. Wait, that's not all.

736
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:27,960
Crack down on brendas Miltrock and break it up, smash it?

737
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,360
Do you hear? Thanks? Mac, get hit from me later.

738
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:51,119
This is the last move. Paul's for station identification.

739
00:38:51,599 --> 00:39:16,519
Speaker 5: This is the Columbia Broadcasting system. We've nded the second

740
00:39:16,599 --> 00:39:19,320
act of bullets or ballots, and our stars bring us

741
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:23,519
act free shortly. It's intermission and guest time now. But

742
00:39:23,679 --> 00:39:28,400
first a suggestion. Screen stars use lux toilet soap to

743
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,599
help care for million dollar complexions. They use it as

744
00:39:31,599 --> 00:39:34,519
a bath soap too, because it has active leather that

745
00:39:34,639 --> 00:39:39,000
leaves skin fresh and fragrant. Here's what Joan Blondelle says,

746
00:39:39,679 --> 00:39:41,559
use lux toilet soap as a beauty bath.

747
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 4: It's the best way I know to protect daintiness. You'll

748
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:45,400
love it.

749
00:39:46,679 --> 00:39:49,039
Speaker 5: Are you enjoying the luxury of a daily beauty bath

750
00:39:49,159 --> 00:39:52,840
with this white gentle soap screen stars use. You'll love

751
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:56,000
the delicate, clinging fragrance it leaves on your skin. You'll

752
00:39:56,039 --> 00:40:01,639
be sure of daintiness now, our producer. The battle that

753
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,639
Johnny Blake is fighting in our play against racketeering and

754
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:08,559
terrorism is being fought throughout the country by men like

755
00:40:08,599 --> 00:40:12,159
to Night's guest mister Frank B. Gompert, who match the

756
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:15,920
brawn and daring of gangsters with the relentless weapons of science.

757
00:40:17,039 --> 00:40:19,840
Mister Gompers is the criminologist in charge of the Research

758
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:23,760
Laboratory of the Sheriff's Office of Los Angeles County. He's

759
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:27,280
a policeman who fights not with machine guns but with microscopes.

760
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:30,920
Has a degree in law, is a Master of sciences,

761
00:40:31,079 --> 00:40:34,440
and a doctor of philosophy. He's been technical director of

762
00:40:34,559 --> 00:40:37,480
several movies dealing with crime, and has worked on some

763
00:40:37,639 --> 00:40:42,559
eight thousand cases, hundreds of them murders as a twentieth

764
00:40:42,599 --> 00:40:43,960
century Sherlock Holmes.

765
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:48,280
Speaker 4: Mister Gumput, tell us, just how do you do it? Well?

766
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:52,119
Speaker 7: We have to deal in chemistry, ballistics, physics, toxicology, and handwriting.

767
00:40:52,119 --> 00:40:56,119
Mister Demil, No one man can be outstanding in all fields,

768
00:40:56,480 --> 00:41:00,199
but a laboratory combining experts in each field can come

769
00:41:00,199 --> 00:41:04,840
pretty close to solving any crime. To me, one of

770
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:08,199
the outstanding values of our laboratory is not its power

771
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:12,719
to convict the guilty, but to free the innocent. Hundreds

772
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:15,840
of times evidence that might have otherwise convicted a perfectly

773
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:19,800
innocent man when examined in our laboratory has freed him

774
00:41:20,079 --> 00:41:21,119
of every suspicion.

775
00:41:21,639 --> 00:41:24,280
Speaker 5: I know that you're perhaps the nation's greatest expert in

776
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:28,079
solving crime with the evidence of human hair. While you

777
00:41:28,679 --> 00:41:33,000
might have some difficulties with me, what can you learn

778
00:41:33,039 --> 00:41:35,320
from those whose presses are a bit more abundant.

779
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 7: You'll do fine, mister Demil, as long as you have

780
00:41:38,519 --> 00:41:42,440
a single hair left on your head. From that single hair,

781
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:46,199
we can usually learn a man's approximate age, his environment,

782
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:49,760
the places he visited recently, his type of employment, his

783
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:53,440
personal habits, and frequently his race. We can also learn

784
00:41:53,519 --> 00:41:57,519
a dozen things from a cigarette. A cigarette, Yes, anybody

785
00:41:57,519 --> 00:42:01,239
who smokes a cigarette reveals secrets through the saliva that

786
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:04,239
remain on the end, even though many months have elapsed

787
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,559
since it was smoked. Saliva tells us to what blood

788
00:42:07,559 --> 00:42:10,639
group the man who smoke the cigarette belongs. There are

789
00:42:10,639 --> 00:42:13,760
twenty blood groups with which we deal, and often we

790
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,880
can eliminate nineteen out of twenty suspects by a blood

791
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,920
grouping test. I can see it's getting harder and harder

792
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:23,039
to commit murder, not to commit it, but to get

793
00:42:23,079 --> 00:42:27,000
away with it. But while we solve crimes, the public

794
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,400
can do far more than we can do in preventing them.

795
00:42:31,039 --> 00:42:32,800
Speaker 3: Don't be intimidated.

796
00:42:32,159 --> 00:42:35,840
Speaker 7: By the threats and boasts of racketeers. Every time you surrender,

797
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:40,239
you betray not only yourself, but your neighbors and your community.

798
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:43,239
At the first sign of a threat, get in touch

799
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:46,480
with your local authorities. And now, ladies and gentlemen, just

800
00:42:46,519 --> 00:42:49,079
to prove what an ordinary piece of evidence may reveal.

801
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:52,639
I gave mister Gumpet a coat which I wore sometime yesterday.

802
00:42:53,079 --> 00:42:56,000
He examined it and is now going to tell exactly

803
00:42:56,079 --> 00:42:58,360
what he found out about me from that coat.

804
00:42:58,679 --> 00:43:00,559
Speaker 4: You're sure you want me to go through with it. Yes,

805
00:43:00,599 --> 00:43:01,280
of course I did.

806
00:43:03,039 --> 00:43:04,519
Speaker 3: We really don't have to, mister de Mill.

807
00:43:05,119 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 4: Oh backing out?

808
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 3: Ayah, okay, mister de Mill, you asked for it.

809
00:43:11,039 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 7: I took your coat and last night beat out all

810
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:17,039
the dust. Here's what it told me. Yesterday morning, you

811
00:43:17,079 --> 00:43:19,920
took a walk with a brunette between the ages of

812
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:21,119
twenty and twenty five.

813
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:24,079
Speaker 4: An actress, probably a star.

814
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:28,119
Speaker 7: You stopped at Malchester's flower shop, bought an orchard, had

815
00:43:28,199 --> 00:43:30,480
lunch at the Brown Derby, and ate, among other things,

816
00:43:30,639 --> 00:43:31,599
a shrimp cocktail.

817
00:43:32,159 --> 00:43:32,400
Speaker 4: Lady.

818
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,679
Speaker 5: You went from there, No, no thank you, that's plenty,

819
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:40,480
but don't try to tell me you lend that from

820
00:43:40,519 --> 00:43:41,000
my coat.

821
00:43:41,159 --> 00:43:42,360
Speaker 4: You probably followed me.

822
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:43,679
Speaker 3: Sorry, you're wrong.

823
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:45,639
Speaker 4: Here's how it was done.

824
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 7: A few black hairs on the coat told me the

825
00:43:48,519 --> 00:43:51,800
lady's age, and a preparation on the hair revealed she

826
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:54,920
had something to do with acting on the powerful lights.

827
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:57,639
I guessed she was a star instead of an extra

828
00:43:57,679 --> 00:44:00,519
because the face powder also found on the coat was

829
00:44:00,679 --> 00:44:07,800
very expensive. You were walking because if you had been riding,

830
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:10,920
the powder would have been differently placed. It was in

831
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:14,559
the morning because that particular powder will not look well

832
00:44:14,559 --> 00:44:17,920
on a brunette at night. You went to Halchester's because

833
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:21,760
I found pollen from a sinbidion that's a terrestrial orchid,

834
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,719
and Holchester's is one of the few shops carrying it.

835
00:44:25,199 --> 00:44:28,119
You went to the Derby because I found a tiny

836
00:44:28,159 --> 00:44:31,280
spot of sauce used for a seafood cocktail, and it

837
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:34,440
contained a trace of herb which I won't name because

838
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:36,719
the chef of the Derby claims that it's part of

839
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:38,519
his secret shrimp recipe.

840
00:44:39,559 --> 00:44:44,280
Speaker 5: You and mister Gombert, But who was the girl, Well,

841
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:47,280
that's for you to reveal. It happened to be my

842
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:48,920
daughter Catherine.

843
00:44:50,119 --> 00:44:52,519
Speaker 7: I have only one suggestion to make the next time

844
00:44:52,559 --> 00:44:55,079
you go to the Derby for lunch, how about asking

845
00:44:55,079 --> 00:44:55,519
me along?

846
00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:01,880
Speaker 3: And thanks for the invitation here Tonight, great protection, great detective,

847
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:03,239
is to go right to day.

848
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,840
Speaker 5: Edward g Robinson and Bullets are ballots with Mary Astor,

849
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:22,039
Humphrey Bogart, and Otto Krueger, confident that the higher ups

850
00:45:22,039 --> 00:45:25,239
will choose him to replace Al Kruger. Johnny Blake has

851
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:28,280
ordered the gangster's arrest. The trap is ready to spring,

852
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:33,480
but Bugs Brenner arrives at Kruger's apartment. First, he faces

853
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:35,679
the leader, a revolver in his hand.

854
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 4: Wow, hello, Bug, what are you doing over here? The

855
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:46,800
cops just smashed my milk racket, So so I'm starting

856
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:48,159
to take over the numbers game.

857
00:45:57,639 --> 00:46:01,320
Speaker 3: Al Krueger slain racketeer. Phone did in hotel room?

858
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:04,119
Speaker 9: Who is it?

859
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:05,440
Speaker 4: Good morning, miss Morgan.

860
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 3: Oh, come in, mister Brenner, wasn't it.

861
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:12,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right. It's got a news in that paper.

862
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:13,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, who did it?

863
00:46:14,119 --> 00:46:16,320
Speaker 4: I don't know. We're trying to find out.

864
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:17,400
Speaker 3: I thought he was your friend.

865
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:18,400
Speaker 4: Hey he was.

866
00:46:18,519 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 3: You don't seem very upset about it.

867
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:22,280
Speaker 13: I know he was crying at the dice fall that way.

868
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:23,639
Speaker 3: Well, what do you want?

869
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:25,599
Speaker 4: And do you want to go back in a numbers game?

870
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 3: What are you trying to do? Kid?

871
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:30,800
Speaker 4: Me? Ah, you started a game. You don't have a

872
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:31,480
share in it.

873
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:33,199
Speaker 3: And I suppose mister Blake will let me have it.

874
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:35,639
Speaker 4: He'll have nothing to say about it. I'm running things

875
00:46:35,639 --> 00:46:38,760
from now on. If you want the Bronx and Harlem districts,

876
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:41,320
they're yours. If you need protection, you'll get it.

877
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:43,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, that sounds good, too good.

878
00:46:45,199 --> 00:46:46,360
Speaker 4: They don't trust me, huh.

879
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:47,840
Speaker 3: I don't trust anybody.

880
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:48,360
Speaker 4: Need do I?

881
00:46:49,079 --> 00:46:49,239
Speaker 13: Now?

882
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 4: We ought to work fine to get it. How about it?

883
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:54,400
Speaker 3: You're gonna take it away from Blake?

884
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:59,400
Speaker 17: Yeah, all right, go ahead and take it.

885
00:47:00,119 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 4: That's the girl. Hey, come over here and we'll get along.

886
00:47:05,079 --> 00:47:05,880
Swell you and me.

887
00:47:06,079 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 3: Huh yeah in the numbers game?

888
00:47:11,679 --> 00:47:15,519
Speaker 4: Okay, okay. I call the boys for a meeting the night.

889
00:47:15,559 --> 00:47:17,480
They don't know it yet, but they got a new boss.

890
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:27,760
We'll find out who got al sooner later. We ain't

891
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:29,840
got any time to waste worrying about it now. The

892
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:32,119
question is do I run this business from now on?

893
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:35,039
Don't I? It's all right with us. But the bosses

894
00:47:35,119 --> 00:47:36,599
might have something to say about it. If we ever

895
00:47:36,639 --> 00:47:38,199
hear from them, I'll take care of that. I didn't

896
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:40,199
Yes break in on the same meeting because he ain't

897
00:47:40,199 --> 00:47:42,760
going to be so important from now on. He's the

898
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:45,079
one that sold al I'm sitting back waiting for McLaren

899
00:47:45,079 --> 00:47:47,719
to run down. Well, it ain't worked out that way.

900
00:47:48,039 --> 00:47:49,960
I'm gonna put the rackets back in full swing, whether

901
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:53,679
there's trouble with McLaren or not. Sorry, I'm light.

902
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:57,480
Speaker 13: Are you pulling an election? Boys?

903
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:03,079
Speaker 4: It's already been held? I suppose Yeah, yeah, you got

904
00:48:03,079 --> 00:48:06,280
any objections? Few? And what's the first one? And the

905
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:09,239
job was given to me? What are you? The boss

906
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:11,079
has called me in two hours after the news? Bro,

907
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:13,199
do you expect us to believe that? And I told

908
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:15,159
him you might have a few doubts, but I couldn't

909
00:48:15,199 --> 00:48:17,760
persuade them to come down here and prove it. Hey,

910
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:21,440
who are they? Did Kruger tell you no? But I

911
00:48:21,519 --> 00:48:23,559
think I'll keep sitting in this seat till I hear

912
00:48:23,559 --> 00:48:26,360
from them anyway you want to, But don't try and

913
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:28,960
stop me from carrying out orders. I have to take

914
00:48:29,039 --> 00:48:30,559
charge of the week's collection and have it to them

915
00:48:30,559 --> 00:48:32,880
by ten o'clock. Tomorrow night. I'll meet you boys at

916
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:36,079
the garage at How do we know? They called you? Yeah?

917
00:48:36,119 --> 00:48:36,639
Speaker 18: How do we know?

918
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:37,920
Speaker 13: Because I'm telling you?

919
00:48:38,679 --> 00:48:42,639
Speaker 4: Is that enough? No answer? Get away with not Blake? Hello?

920
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:50,440
Oh yeah, he's here. Who's it? Okay, it's for you, Blake?

921
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:51,440
Speaker 13: Who is it?

922
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:56,159
Speaker 4: They wouldn't say? Excuse me? Gentlemen?

923
00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:57,519
Speaker 13: Hello?

924
00:48:58,159 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 4: Hello?

925
00:48:59,000 --> 00:48:59,880
Speaker 14: Is this John Blake?

926
00:49:00,039 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 13: That's right?

927
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:03,800
Speaker 14: We like to see you, mister Blake. Hel Kruger told

928
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:06,199
us you could be trusted. When would it be.

929
00:49:06,159 --> 00:49:08,760
Speaker 13: Convenient for you to come one? Name your time?

930
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:11,360
Speaker 14: Shall we say seven? This evening?

931
00:49:12,039 --> 00:49:12,239
Speaker 4: Sure?

932
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 14: Where the Oceanic Bank and Trust Company?

933
00:49:15,159 --> 00:49:15,599
Speaker 13: I see?

934
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:18,360
Speaker 14: Ask for mister Thornback, the president.

935
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:20,320
Speaker 13: Oh yes, well thanks, I'll do that.

936
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:23,880
Speaker 4: I'm sorry I have to run, boys, but I know

937
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:26,639
you would excuse me. I've got an appointment with the bosses.

938
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:38,000
So long, mister Blake. My name is Thorndyke.

939
00:49:38,559 --> 00:49:40,639
Speaker 13: Oh yes, the president.

940
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:44,559
Speaker 4: H that's right. This is mister Holliston. How I am,

941
00:49:44,599 --> 00:49:48,320
mister Hollister. How do you and mister Caldwell, mister Caldwell

942
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:54,320
of the Caldwells. So you're the heads? Yes, no wonder

943
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:57,360
the organization has been so well protected? Why did you

944
00:49:57,400 --> 00:49:59,639
try to take Krueger's job over. I didn't try to

945
00:49:59,639 --> 00:50:02,199
take it over, right, took it over. Didn't you think

946
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:03,760
we might object? Well why should you?

947
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:06,199
Speaker 13: I prove that I can run it better than anyone else.

948
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:09,840
Speaker 4: That isn't any good. Yes, you have given us quite

949
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:11,519
a bit of revenue. I have given you more than

950
00:50:11,519 --> 00:50:13,320
any four of them put together. And I'll keep on

951
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:15,440
doing it provided you will give me a few breaks.

952
00:50:16,039 --> 00:50:19,960
You know I'm not in this for fun. Be satisfied, gentlemen,

953
00:50:20,199 --> 00:50:25,039
the job's yours. Blake. Thanks, you're not making any mistake. Oh. Incidentally,

954
00:50:25,039 --> 00:50:28,559
mister Blake, you're the only one who know who we are.

955
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:29,599
Speaker 13: I understand that.

956
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:29,920
Speaker 14: Now.

957
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:31,400
Speaker 11: The first thing we want you to do is collect

958
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:33,320
our receipts from the garage tonight and bring them hair.

959
00:50:34,159 --> 00:50:37,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, well I already arranged to collect them.

960
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:39,360
Speaker 13: Oh, I'll be all right if I get here.

961
00:50:39,199 --> 00:50:44,599
Speaker 11: Ten Quite all right now, before we get into detailed instructions,

962
00:50:44,639 --> 00:50:46,639
I suggest we have a drink to mister Blake's success.

963
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:55,159
Speaker 4: How about it, mister Blake? Thanks? It all case pretty good? Hello,

964
00:50:55,559 --> 00:50:59,119
hello McLaren. Yes, we're all set, Mac, I'm in with

965
00:50:59,119 --> 00:51:01,599
a big shots. Well, what's the difference you can't pick

966
00:51:01,639 --> 00:51:02,840
them up yet. You'll have to catch them with the

967
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:03,599
dough to make a stick.

968
00:51:04,519 --> 00:51:04,679
Speaker 14: Now.

969
00:51:04,679 --> 00:51:06,480
Speaker 4: Look, I'm meeting the boys at six tomorrow night at

970
00:51:06,519 --> 00:51:08,280
that garage I told you about. When you see me

971
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:09,960
leave there with the dough, pull up past and raise

972
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:12,000
the joint. They'll send you Manto twenty four and more.

973
00:51:12,039 --> 00:51:14,199
I'll pass that ten o'clock shop to meet the big shops.

974
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:14,440
Speaker 13: In their office.

975
00:51:14,519 --> 00:51:16,639
Speaker 4: When I give the words, you can make the pinch.

976
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:19,000
I remember a few minutes after six of the garage

977
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:19,960
and come in shooting.

978
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:21,159
Speaker 13: That's all Mac.

979
00:51:24,519 --> 00:51:25,039
Speaker 4: In the car.

980
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:39,280
Speaker 3: Just hold your horses.

981
00:51:40,199 --> 00:51:40,639
Speaker 4: Let me again.

982
00:51:40,599 --> 00:51:42,239
Speaker 3: It's the idea coming in the back way. Bug.

983
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:43,800
Speaker 4: The cops are after me. Is Blake been here?

984
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 17: No?

985
00:51:44,079 --> 00:51:44,599
Speaker 3: What's happened?

986
00:51:44,639 --> 00:51:46,159

00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:56,480
I'm going to pay him off. I'll get him. If

1018
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:37,880
me once out of four shots. I guess I did

1019
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:38,760
better with only two.

1020
00:53:40,559 --> 00:53:57,679

Speaker 3: I tried to call you. There was no phone here

1022
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:01,719

00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:03,320
Speaker 4: Yes, he's in there on the floor.

1024
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:05,320
Speaker 9: Oh are you all right?

1025
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:07,559
Speaker 4: Oh sure, drive me over a wall in twenty fourth

1026
00:54:07,559 --> 00:54:14,519
Will you leave? That's some business, sure, Johnny.

1027
00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:18,360
Speaker 3: I was afraid you'd kill you. He told me you

1028
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:19,400
were working for the police.

1029
00:54:19,559 --> 00:54:20,639
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1030
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:23,159
Speaker 12: No, I've been a heel, Johnny. The things I said

1031
00:54:23,159 --> 00:54:24,199
that night at the hotel.

1032
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:25,079
Speaker 4: Oh, you didn't know.

1033
00:54:25,199 --> 00:54:25,599
Speaker 13: Forget it.

1034
00:54:25,679 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 12: I tried to stay sore, but it seems sort of

1035
00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:29,400
funny not seeing you around.

1036
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:31,239
Speaker 3: You're all through with it now, aren't you.

1037
00:54:31,519 --> 00:54:32,039
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1038
00:54:32,079 --> 00:54:34,599
Speaker 12: I'm glad you can go back on the force. Maybe

1039
00:54:34,639 --> 00:54:35,559
the Broadway District.

1040
00:54:35,639 --> 00:54:41,639
Speaker 13: Yeah, maybe.

Speaker 13: Oh sure, run long.

1044
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:51,480
Speaker 3: I'll wait for you.

1045
00:54:51,559 --> 00:54:53,719
Speaker 4: Oh no, no, you'd have to wait too long. Thanks

1046
00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:59,119

1057
00:55:38,599 --> 00:55:40,320
Speaker 13: Well that's fine. Fine, Wait a moment.

1058
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:42,239
Speaker 4: What's the matter with you for me?

1059
00:55:43,239 --> 00:55:43,760
Speaker 13: For nothing?

1060
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:44,719
Speaker 4: Why you're hurt?

1061
00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:45,079

Speaker 3: Oh?

1066
00:56:08,559 --> 00:56:13,960
Speaker 4: Mac? Did you? Did you nail him with a dough? Yeah?

1067
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:18,119
Speaker 13: And that's that who got you, Brenna? Yeah?

1068
00:56:18,159 --> 00:56:22,840
Speaker 4: Where is he? He's washed up? Check the bullet he

1069
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:25,280
put into me with the ones that killed Brian and

1070
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:29,119
Kruger off from his gun. You didn't miss a bet,

1071
00:56:29,199 --> 00:56:31,840
did you? I and trying not to pull the punches

1072
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:35,639
this time. I guess Brenda didn't either. Don't worry, Johnny,

1073
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:37,079
I'm taking you to the hospital.

1074
00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:42,639
Speaker 13: No, No, I won't do any good. It's along, Mac.

1075
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:49,840
Speaker 4: Just keep keep kicking him in the line, Mac would Yeah,

1076
00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:52,960
I'd like to think that when the mugs see a policeman,

1077
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:57,480
they'll keep on chipping their hats.

1078
00:56:58,559 --> 00:57:23,320
Speaker 5: A life and a play end together. And now the

1079
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:26,559
late Johnny Blake becomes Edward G. Robinson and Lee Morgan

1080
00:57:26,639 --> 00:57:27,199
is once again.

1081
00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:29,320
Speaker 12: Mary asked her, and here's a question, mister Mill, that

1082
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:31,039
I've been waiting for a long time to toss with

1083
00:57:31,119 --> 00:57:31,960
mister Robinson.

1084
00:57:32,039 --> 00:57:34,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't you ever get tired of dying?

1085
00:57:34,119 --> 00:57:36,440
Speaker 12: Eddie being Hollywood's favorite bulls eye.

1086
00:57:37,199 --> 00:57:39,920
Speaker 4: I don't mind being bored by a bullet, Mary, if

1087
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:43,280
the results don't board the audience. But I'll admit it's

1088
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:45,320
a distinct relief to be able to die occasionally on

1089
00:57:45,360 --> 00:57:47,119
the side of the law and order, as I did

1090
00:57:47,159 --> 00:57:49,400
tonight in bullets of ballots.

1091
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:51,039
Speaker 13: How did you like the story?

1092
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:53,719
Speaker 3: Well? Speaking is Lee Morgan? Not so much. You just

1093
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:55,480
about ruined my life by dying.

1094
00:57:56,559 --> 00:57:59,559
Speaker 12: But speaking is Mary asked, Well, Eddie, I've learned that

1095
00:57:59,599 --> 00:58:01,760
anything connected with the name Lux must be good.

1096
00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:04,480
Speaker 20: I found that out years ago when I started using

1097
00:58:04,519 --> 00:58:07,519
Lux soap. Anyone who's at all fussy about her looks

1098
00:58:07,559 --> 00:58:10,000
knows that Lux soap is about the nicest, most dependable

1099
00:58:10,039 --> 00:58:13,199
complexion care there is. I guess I'm like most actresses

1100
00:58:13,199 --> 00:58:14,679
in Hollywood because I'm never without it.

1101
00:58:15,239 --> 00:58:16,559
Speaker 3: Incidentally, mister de Mill.

1102
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:18,599
Speaker 12: The last time Eddie was on this show, didn't I

1103
00:58:18,639 --> 00:58:20,519
hear him promise you a job on his own program,

1104
00:58:20,519 --> 00:58:20,960
Big Town.

1105
00:58:21,199 --> 00:58:24,199
Speaker 5: He certainly did. He even gave me a name. I

1106
00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:28,119
was to play Benny Thebama. That's the last I've heard

1107
00:58:28,119 --> 00:58:28,440
about it.

1108
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:31,599
Speaker 4: Well, the truth is I haven't had a spot lately

1109
00:58:31,639 --> 00:58:35,159
for a torpedo. Besides, I don't think you'd be much

1110
00:58:35,159 --> 00:58:38,719
of a pineapple juggler, mister demill Well, then couldn't I

1111
00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:40,159
play a detective sometime?

1112
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:40,360
Speaker 14: No?

1113
00:58:40,679 --> 00:58:41,639
Speaker 13: Sorry, no experience.

1114
00:58:41,719 --> 00:58:43,920
Speaker 4: Well, couldn't I take some lessons from mister gumput?

1115
00:58:44,519 --> 00:58:46,920
Speaker 13: I might have an opening on Big Town at that?

1116
00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:49,920
Speaker 4: Oh? Thank Saidie? Thanks? Hey do you mean it? Why?

1117
00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:52,840
Of course you send that mister Garmpet around sometime. He

1118
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:57,440
sounds like a great bet. Oh, and remember keep tipping

1119
00:58:57,440 --> 00:58:57,880
your hat.

1120
00:58:58,199 --> 00:58:59,960
Speaker 3: Good Night, mister de Millon, don't give up.

1121
00:59:00,079 --> 00:59:02,679
Speaker 12: I'm sure you'd make a perfectly lovely Benny the Bomber.

1122
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:04,239

1147
01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:42,679
named Broadway Bill. Bill's adventures on the racetrack and our

1148
01:00:42,719 --> 01:00:46,719
hero's experiences with his wife's relatives provide the gay and

1149
01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:50,840
romantic play you'll hear next Monday night, and leading Broadway

1150
01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:54,719
Bill to our barrier will be four Hollywood stars who

1151
01:00:54,760 --> 01:01:01,599
are favorites at heavy odds, Robert Taylor, Francis d Gail Patrick,

1152
01:01:02,079 --> 01:01:14,199
and Raymond Walburn. Our sponsors, the makers of Luck toilet Soak,

1153
01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:16,000
join me in inviting you to be with us again

1154
01:01:16,119 --> 01:01:19,719
next Monday night, when the Lux Radio Theater presents Robert

1155
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:23,840
Taylor and Francis D in Broadway Bill, with Gail Patrick

1156
01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:25,039
and Raymond Walburn.

1157
01:01:25,719 --> 01:01:26,440
Speaker 4: This is Cecil B.

1158
01:01:26,519 --> 01:01:48,760
Speaker 5: De mill saying good night to you from Hollywood. Your

1159
01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:53,880
announcer has been Melville Rowick. This is the Columbia Broadcasting.

1160
01:01:53,119 --> 01:02:06,920
Speaker 18: System welcome back.

1161
01:02:07,159 --> 01:02:10,360
Speaker 2: Since this is the summer of Bogart, probably the first

1162
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:13,239
thing we should talk about is Bogart's role in this,

1163
01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:19,159
and really, in terms of characters, Bugsy was probably the

1164
01:02:19,239 --> 01:02:23,000
most interesting character in the film. He was the one

1165
01:02:23,039 --> 01:02:26,199
guy you couldn't necessarily predict what he was going to do,

1166
01:02:26,639 --> 01:02:31,480
and indeed he did actually end up killing off the hero,

1167
01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:35,880
though as our hero pointed out, not very efficiently. In fact,

1168
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:40,280
that brings up the villain's main flaws. Bugsy has the

1169
01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:44,239
bad habit of talking out loud while on the phone,

1170
01:02:44,599 --> 01:02:49,639
giving information to the guests love interest in the story,

1171
01:02:50,039 --> 01:02:54,840
and also having to announce himself before doing the shooting,

1172
01:02:55,239 --> 01:02:58,719
which turned out to be a very fatal mistake. Still,

1173
01:02:58,719 --> 01:03:03,079
he was smarter than the bosses and really having the

1174
01:03:03,159 --> 01:03:06,760
enstinct in smarts to know that there was something going on,

1175
01:03:07,119 --> 01:03:10,760
and he does save our hero from having to do

1176
01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:14,960
something he doesn't like by turning in the criminal who

1177
01:03:15,079 --> 01:03:20,800
had befriended him. You can really see from this adaptation

1178
01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:24,320
while Humphrey Bogard enjoyed these sort of roles and why

1179
01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:29,639
many actors enjoy playing villains on screen or on audio,

1180
01:03:29,920 --> 01:03:31,880
so really great performance there.

1181
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:32,840
Speaker 4: Edward g.

1182
01:03:33,039 --> 01:03:37,360
Speaker 2: Robinson was good in this as well. The story takes

1183
01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:41,039
one of a couple of different ways the nineteen thirties

1184
01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:45,960
approach crime pictures. One way that they approach it is

1185
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:52,400
sometimes there is a sentimental mythology about criminals and crime

1186
01:03:52,559 --> 01:03:56,960
and criminal codes of honor. This one takes the opposite approach.

1187
01:03:57,400 --> 01:04:02,440
A few dashes of sentiments such as are hero turning

1188
01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:07,559
a blind eye to a numbers racket being run out

1189
01:04:07,599 --> 01:04:11,239
of Harlem and Brooklyn because it's a friend running it

1190
01:04:11,320 --> 01:04:14,679
and it's not that big of a racket to actually bust,

1191
01:04:15,119 --> 01:04:18,119
and being hesitant about turning in his friend. But the

1192
01:04:18,239 --> 01:04:22,559
overall approach of the story is that of crime as

1193
01:04:22,719 --> 01:04:25,880
a war. When you're dealing with racketeers, you're at war.

1194
01:04:26,360 --> 01:04:30,320
This isn't just normal police enforcement action. The film says,

1195
01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:34,440
this is war. So of course you go in shooting

1196
01:04:34,639 --> 01:04:37,079
without giving opportunities surrender.

1197
01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:38,079
Speaker 18: It's a war.

1198
01:04:38,559 --> 01:04:42,519
Speaker 2: And of course Blake is the type of cobp who's

1199
01:04:42,639 --> 01:04:47,239
used to demanding respect and getting really physical with the

1200
01:04:47,280 --> 01:04:50,039
criminals to get what he wants. This is the top

1201
01:04:50,119 --> 01:04:53,360
of portrayal that films would really start to move away

1202
01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:56,960
from once you get into the nineteen forties. By the way,

1203
01:04:57,000 --> 01:05:00,679
though the radio version of this was released in nineteen

1204
01:05:01,199 --> 01:05:04,719
thirty nine, the film was actually set in nineteen thirty six,

1205
01:05:04,840 --> 01:05:09,199
was when it was released in theaters, but this was

1206
01:05:09,239 --> 01:05:13,000
written at the height of the nineteen thirties crime pictures

1207
01:05:13,039 --> 01:05:18,000
and fits really well to the way this genre has operated.

1208
01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:23,960
I did really like the segment with the forensic expert

1209
01:05:24,079 --> 01:05:28,320
coming in. Was really interesting to hear the beginning of

1210
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:31,719
the use of physical evidence as it was still a

1211
01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:35,559
developing science. And I thought the whole scene where they

1212
01:05:35,719 --> 01:05:40,000
were able to deduce where de Mill had been based

1213
01:05:40,039 --> 01:05:43,920
on his coat was it just really funny and enjoyable.

1214
01:05:44,039 --> 01:05:46,280
So I like this. I hope you enjoyed it as well.

1215
01:05:46,440 --> 01:05:50,880
I'll have another Bogey gangster story next week, so join

1216
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:54,000
