Speaker 2: Broadways might be from Times Square to Columbus Circle, the Gaudius,
the most violent, the lonesomest mile in the world. Broadways
might be with Larry Door as Detective Danny Clover. The
still brilliant light of a new January drifts down over Broadway,
and the pattern it reveals is unchanged. The scalpeled edges
of piled concrete are still defined against winter sky, glints.
Speaker 3: Are struck off crom and steel.
Speaker 2: The faces of the mob are already molded back into
the old year's anguish, because still the vision of duty
stands in a doorway at the end of night, and
you walk toward it. You're stopped by the hawker who
has another plan for you. You push him aside, keep walking.
He stops you again, lays odd, you'll never make it,
and you never do, and the light filters a card.
Or you walk with a man who has just been
acquitted of the murder of his wife, a man you arrested,
testified against, watched as he was given the verdict of tretom.
Speaker 3: And in his face no sign of release of joy,
only a newer pallor sudden intense. He tried.
Speaker 4: Then you didn't make my port found join us, mister Welcher. Yeah,
didn't I know? You know something? Then what they say,
I'm innocent, you say it me. I still don't know.
I was out of the world at the time.
Speaker 5: I was drunk.
Speaker 3: That girl either Gray, Yeah.
Speaker 4: Spunky kid to sit up there and tell it into
the teeth of the world that I was with her
at the time.
Speaker 3: Fay was.
Speaker 4: My wife was being killed. I wonder if I had fun.
I wonder if I hadn't had fun while Fay was dying.
She broke our case, saved your life. You want it,
I give it to you. But whatever my life's worth,
now take it, deal it out among your friends. Look,
mister Welsh, a free man.
Speaker 3: What's with this? Free? A man pronounces a word and
that makes me free?
Speaker 4: You Look, Fay's dead. The girl I loved is dead.
A girl you know something then, but it's now the
law of the land. And I didn't kill my wife.
That means someone else did.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 4: I make your promise out of the goodness in my heart.
I'll get to the killer before you do. Hope to die.
Speaker 6: If I don't, we'll handle it. Mister Welch, you leave
it all to.
Speaker 3: Johnny. I want a picture you and I to hear
and stand close to him mine. That's come on, come on,
get close, touch his face or something. Get out of
here before.
Speaker 7: Oh, Johnny, either saved your don't have to, Johnny if
you don't want to stay.
Speaker 8: Out of it.
Speaker 3: Ah, Hi, the baby, you just stay posed?
Speaker 7: Where come on, Johnny, i'd to hear this pretty girl
here handed your back, your life on a silver plotter.
Speaker 2: I don't know what I'd did, all right, Okay, take
your picture and step aside, so a picture could be made.
A picture of a man Johnny Welch, his eyes dull, unfocused,
the corner of his lips twitching somewhere between pain and hate,
the girl looking up at him, unsmiling, and the man
with the camera.
Speaker 3: Right now try to look glad about him with.
Speaker 2: Host smiles posed happiness for all the world at sea. Okay,
got it, and turn the whole thing over to your memory.
Go away. Spend the next two days for routine, fill
in spaces and report sheets. Sketch up on the paperwork,
Shake a finger at a school teacher from the Midwest
who was clapping her blackboard. E racers on the runway
at Times Square. Speak of a boys club, lose three
boxes of matches at the poker game the squadroom. Catch
up on your reading at home. Then the call comes,
Danny Clover speaking.
Speaker 9: Danny, guy named Larry Wood just got some lips.
Speaker 3: What are you talking about, Sagan?
Speaker 9: Call her name, Larry Ward? Just got sluck?
Speaker 3: All right? Why did you call me?
Speaker 9: You know a guy that could ignore his named Johnny Welch.
Speaker 3: Oh, you pick up Johnny. We're looking what are we
flying with? Larry Moore?
Speaker 9: Say where Johnny lives? For five honest?
Speaker 2: See why you waste your time, mister Clover. I'm not
going to bring chargers against Johnny. Looks like he went
over a pretty good mister Moore. Can you see out
of that left eye? What difference does it make? I'm
not going to press chargers. Why did be champ between
you and me?
Speaker 3: That's all? Okay? He tried to make me confess to
what that i'd killed his wife.
Speaker 6: I see. I guess you want to know why Johnny
would think a thing like that? Euh yeah, I would,
I knew Fay Welch. No, we're well a lot of fellows.
You know, the boys who hung around the bar where
the Welches lived.
Speaker 2: And this is well just to hang around with the
bar pretty much. It came out at the trial. Your
name didn't For what reason? I just played piano for
cocktail hours. I did a request for a plaython. I
just can't understand it this. Some more man comes into
your room accuses you of murdered beats you and I
don't get mad about it? Why should I a guy
like Johnny, a guy like him.
Speaker 3: He's upset.
Speaker 5: He needs to be understood, mister Clover, not arrested.
Speaker 3: What kind of a guy do you think I am? Anyhow?
Speaker 2: And for a moment consider him, Consider the man whose
reaction to the violence done him was compassion.
Speaker 3: Understanding.
Speaker 2: You have come out of a beating from an embittered man,
a man on the prowl, dedicated to the killing of
his wife's murderer, and still Larry Moore makes no charge
against him. Wonder about it, and note your own shock
that you've stained Larry Moore's compassion with suspicion, and leave
with no answer to Larry Moore his question, mister, what
kind of a man he was?
Speaker 3: Anyhow?
Speaker 2: At headquarters issue on all points bulletin for the pickup
of Johnny Welch acquitted of the murder of his wife
because where he walked walked violence and death and strip
off the hours of waiting with routine was talk to
Detective Mondum.
Speaker 6: He isn't safe for the citizens with that guy loose, Danny,
we'll find him.
Speaker 3: He's a sick man right now. You can go so
forest to call him crazy.
Speaker 6: Maybe who knows who's going to choose out of the
crowd to call his wife's murder. This time he just
beats up on a man. Next time, maybe he'll be
more thorough and a sick man turns into a killer.
We'll find him. Sure, we will, mind if I open
the window, Little Danny and stuck, go ahead. A lucky fella,
lucky lucky fella. What you say, Johnny Welch, lucky boy
teaches to know how lucky? No, sure, no, find him
passed out on the floor, dead, drunk, with a bottle
in one hand, a gun on the other. And his
wife say, with a look on her face, the country
being shot to death.
Speaker 3: A real killer could a real killer?
Speaker 2: The real killer could have killed Fay Welch planet the
gun on Johnny because Johnny was two gun to know anything,
it has to be like that.
Speaker 3: Because the jury of his peers said so.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 6: Because a girl, a miss I had a gray hops
a boat from England arrives just in time to telecourt.
Johnny was seeing her off to Europe from the hours
of eleven to two the night his wife was killed.
Speaker 3: This established.
Speaker 6: Missus Welsch was killed around one o'clock that night. I'm
not fighting anything, sure was established. Goes back to what
I was saying. Johnny Welch is a lucky boy comes
home from a party drunk. Stagger's down a hotel hall,
meets an old girlfriend, Ida Grave. She takes him with
it a bitter bomvoyage. This takes till two in the morning.
She said, Alibi freedom. Johnny Welch walks the streets.
Speaker 10: Good day a detective Margvern.
Speaker 3: You know they found Johnny Welch.
Speaker 10: They're keeping him there for you. Where Blossom's barn grew

to talk to you.
Speaker 3: I live here.
Speaker 5: Come on, you have a nice place back at the hotel.
Speaker 4: I live here, my home. Look, Johnny, I feel the
man simple question and begs the simple And I could say,
all right, I feel good. You would say not so good.
Speaker 3: Stop me.
Speaker 4: When I get to the answer to what they've been
doing for the last matter. Don't you drink? Grab the
bottle by the folk? Poor my, my home.
Speaker 3: Drink drink. I'm working, Johnny. I'll do my eyes. So
this is the way it's done.
Speaker 4: Finish a bottle and hold it to the naked eye
like this in a way.
Speaker 3: The empty bottle.
Speaker 4: Things inside. I can see dances, friends with people who smile,
want you to come along. I got no more friends.
What's happened to? No more friends?
Speaker 6: What it will take them a little while to get
your stock? That happened before? A man acquitted a murderous friends?
Speaker 4: Really, I think maybe I did it. After all, they
look at it. They just look at me with you
killed your wife. They don't think that you were acquitted.
Speaker 3: And Fay is dead.
Speaker 4: She was once is nothing.
Speaker 5: You never heard her laugh?
Speaker 6: You talk?
Speaker 3: You saw when.
Speaker 5: John What do you want? I saw Larry Moore a
little while ago.
Speaker 4: I got it on the list. I'm going to see
leave him alone, just to apologize. That's the only reason
why I want to see lot anymore. Apologize because I
slugged him. Apologize that this fee is dead. It's a
tremendous loss to all of us. I'm gonna take it
back to the hotel now. I don't know what I've
been saying at all. Do you get your air out
of the mud. Friend, No, say's something plain. I am
here because Fay is dead. The twelve good men and Trusay.
I didn't kill her, and that's good. If I killed her,
I wouldn't want to live anymore. If I didn't kill her,
someone else did. I told the police, will take care
of it, Johnny Prize. Get out of here, friend, leave
me alone.
Speaker 2: Go on, get out, Leave him alone, Leave him to
the life he wanted, because you have no reason to improve.
Speaker 3: Out on the.
Speaker 4: Street again and uptown, stop up for a sandwich, then
back to work again. Back to headquarters, mark the car
on the lot across from the emergency overhead Addie.
Speaker 2: And the voice of stop she belongs to Detective Muggervan
standing beside an ambulance.
Speaker 3: What's up? Where have you been? What's the difference for
if I've been? What's the matter? Caul came as soon
as you left? And leave?
Speaker 9: Word where be?
Speaker 3: I took it for? What? Hold him? And the fellas?
Take a look? Oh no, Larry Moore, Danny in the morning,
he's beat up. An evening he's dead.
Speaker 4: You see it, Danny, Yeah, I'll see it. Look at
stabbed to death, Danny murdered.
Speaker 3: You are listening to.
Speaker 4: Broadways might be written by Martin Fine and David Friedkin
and starring Larry Thor as Detective Danny Clover. Instead of
going down, the annual rate of polio cases in this
country is going up. Instead of growing panicky with fear
in the face of such an unwelcome fact, there is
a way in which we all can join the army
which is fighting to check this trend and ultimately defeat
infantile paralysis. We can contribute to the Mark of Dimes,
give today, so that the nineteen fifty two March of
Dimes will be the biggest ever and a really potent
fighting force against polio.
Speaker 2: When it's January on Broadway, the darkness drains through the
scarlet of neon before it's called night, and the dreams
that are dreamed, Or a street corner touches the edge
of evening drift away on the black wind.
Speaker 3: The whirlpool of color.
Speaker 2: Flung skyward by the spectacular's dips becomes a riot of
shadows when it touches the street. It's the once upon
a time land wrapped in winter's mists, gray and cold.
The laughter's always at the other end.
Speaker 5: Of the block.
Speaker 2: It's nighttime, crowd time, the lonely time. And consider this
night the playing of a man. Consider facts that man
Larry Moore, suspect Johnny Welch, nighttime work time. Go back
to the bar that Johnny called home. He's not there.
Check his hotel not there, So issue an all points
bullet and again on Johnny.
Speaker 4: It's not to be found. So next morning, go to
a friend of his. I'da Gray, a young woman who
once helped him.
Speaker 8: I can't understand why they didn't announce you down at
the desk, mister Clover.
Speaker 3: I told him I was a policeman. I told him
not to announce. You're afraid i'd fly the crew.
Speaker 8: Am I that important?
Speaker 3: What do you do for a living? Mis Gray?
Speaker 8: I could have told you that over the house phone.
Tell me now, May I be technically right ahead. I'm
a technician, mister Clover. I assist in the preparation of
anti biotic cultures.
Speaker 3: Do I stai you? May I ask you why you
went to your vacation. Not at all work.
Speaker 8: I went over to abserve technique in the manufacture of
antibiotics in England. The Deer reports free exchange of scientific mind.
Speaker 3: I think that was my job.
Speaker 4: And you left for England the night of missus Welcher's
murder and came home during the trial. Fortunate for Johnny,
mister I known.
Speaker 3: Of the murder.
Speaker 8: I would have returned much sooner, honor brother, Poor Johnny.
Speaker 3: You feel sorry for him?
Speaker 8: Just bring him to me, Just going to get my
hands on him, and what I'd never take them away?
Not very scientific talk for a technician like me, is it?
Speaker 4: He killed a man last night, stabbed him to death,
a man named Larry Moore. First Johnny threatened them money.
Speaker 3: Killed him Larry Moore.
Speaker 6: You've probably seen him. Larry Moore played piano downstairs in
a lama.
Speaker 8: And Larry killed Johnny's wife?
Speaker 3: Is that? And who killed Larry? Do you know where
Johnny is?
Speaker 8: Do you find out where it's taken to him?
Speaker 5: Will you'll be here, Missner?
Speaker 8: As a matter of fact, no, I have a date
with a scientific fella. We're going to discuss variable hydrogen
iron concentrations in a amias and culture. God boy, you
might as well.
Speaker 11: Good morning, Manny.
Speaker 3: And something else, Danny, do you want something to You know,
it's not a question.

a happy threesome until it comes a knock on Larry's
hotel room. Larry gets up from the piano to answer it,
so he says to someone, oh, what a pleasant surprise.

Speaker 3: Remember how you enjoyed them?
Speaker 7: You told me I did enjoy them, Miny, Well, I
got now something you will enjoy even more, and without
sour cream. The whereabouts of the fugitive name of Johnny
Welch where I spotted him sneaking into a flea bag
hotel down to the Bowery, saw the light going on
second floor front, broke a few traffic manifestos getting it
to you.
Speaker 6: Danny, however, take me there, Marty, Danny, Yeah, what do
you want that girl?
Speaker 3: Doctor Sinsky? What do we book it for? For murder?
Come on, Marty, take me to Johnny Welch.
Speaker 6: So going down to a familiar place, familiar because it's
called the Bowery, because it's the place where dreams are lost.
Speaker 3: And violence is born. That one, Danny, that one.
Speaker 9: Right now.
Speaker 3: The air is chilled with many things.
Speaker 2: The figure huddled against the night wind, cold, chuck scratched
on a brick wall, dampness on lips, as a woman
watches you walk by and into the derelict hotel and
up the steps, and think, briefly, this is the sound.
Speaker 3: Of a winter's grave, Danny.
Speaker 6: That's right, Johnny. And the face of Johnny Welch is
the face of the grave without.
Speaker 5: Me, not expression, lifeless.
Speaker 4: I've been waiting for you, Danny. Oh, I thought you
were hiding, hiding, that's what you did, Johnny. No, No,
you've got it all wrong.
Speaker 3: Tell me about.
Speaker 4: Her, the reason why I am here, That's right. I
don't know any other place for me. It's no other
place left on it. Even the people in the bottom
of the bottle days the way Barrymore, they're not in
your life anymore, Larry, he's dead. I didn't know i'd
be making Ida Ida always Ida. I saw her a
while ago. She rubbed her cheek against me and said
things she'd never believe to me. She said she loved me.
Speaker 5: You find it?
Speaker 3: H huh? She killed Larry Man. She didn't tell me.
Speaker 4: Maybe you didn't give her a chance. I gave her
all the time she needed. She talked and talked things
she told me. Did she tell you how she parjured
herself for you? How you were never with her the
night of your wife's Murther, she told me you almost
killed Ida for it. I told you something once, Danny,
I told you if I killed my wife, I didn't want.
Speaker 3: To live anymore. I meant, now you know you killed her?
Don't you that.
Speaker 4: You can't touch me for her? Because I was acquitted
double jeopardy. State can't try a man twice for the
same crime. That's right, Johnny. We can't hold you for
a sulf with intent to kill her for a long
time intent, didn't I make it?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 4: What's gonna happen to either? You know should be tried
for murder? Why'd she kill him? Mary Moore must have
known she was lying on the stand at the trial.
He worked at the hotel. He saw I had to
leave for the boat by herself.
Speaker 3: Not for you.
Speaker 6: But he was blackmailinger wisdom. Yeah, and all she wanted
was you. That's why she fortured herself, got you off.
I asked you before, Johnny, why'd you beat her up?
Save in my life? He told you, I don't want
to live now that I know.
Speaker 11: What I did.
Speaker 4: You'll live prison, Johnny should. He'd install it for a while, Dannie,
And then I'll come back here, look at this place,
and go over to the wind and look outside, got
it and top to bottom all oh me as long
as you want. And then I'm coming back to why
why let's be in dead got that this hasn't yet.
Speaker 3: It's a panic in neon.
Speaker 4: That's Broadway, where pleasure is a package commodity like pain,
where bargain prices prevail for numbness in the half hour.
Speaker 3: Smile sometimes on installments.
Speaker 2: It's the place that dares you, and one way or
another it'll rock you asleep. It's Broadways, the gaudiest, the
most violent, the lonesomest mile in the one Broadway.
Speaker 3: My feet.
Speaker 4: Broadway's My Beat stars Larry Thor as Detective Danny Clover,
with Charles Calvert asta Taglia and Jack Krushian as Magavan.
The program was produced and directed by Elliot Lewis, with
musical store composed and conducted by Alexander Courage. End tonight's story,
Harry Bartel was heard as Johnny Welch. Featured in the
cast were Mary Shipp, Sheppard, Menken, Steve Roberts, and Jerry Hausner. All,
Miss Brooks is your Miss Brooks every Sunday evening over
most of these same CBS Radio stations. CBS comedy fans, No,
she's really the sparkling comedian Eve Arden, Folks who haven't
met mister Boynton education slinging, Eve's bashful boyfriend, and the
rest of our Miss Brooks laugh mates shouldn't let another
Sunday pass without enjoying this refreshing CBS Last Spreader, Bill
Andrews speaking, And remember those lovable rascals, Amos and Andy are
here every Sunday on the CBS Radio Network.
Speaker 1: Welcome back as always. I really tend to find the
interpersonal relationship part of these episodes to me somewhat of
an interesting window. And it's nice to hear Gino being
the one to make some peace. And you have a
situation here with Danny and you would experience and all
other programs, but technically the protagonist is on the receiving
end of the senior officers, usually a captain, complaining about
the lack of progress. It's not particularly constructive, but you
have any doing it and Muggavan pushing back and artagonally
out trying to head off the and I appreciated the
part where he stopped Denny's coming stream of insults and
questions like yo, you're gonna regret that, getting things into
a more productive direction. All right, well, now it's time
to think. Our Patreon supporter of the day. Thank you

Speaker 14: I found the girl and two men in the room
facing on the street. Girl was fixing upon for herself
when I came in, two caps of heroin on the table.
Speaker 3: In front of her. What'd you do? Then?
Speaker 14: I made a grab for the two caps. One of
the guys beat me to it. He got him, ran
to the next room and tried to flush him down
the drain. He didn't quite make it, though, I got
one of the caps before he could get rid of it.
Speaker 3: What'd you do? Then?
Speaker 14: Blanted and I sat the three of them down, called
into the office. I checked the room over while we
were waiting, found two more caps of heroin, usual equipment
to go with it.
Speaker 3: When the radio car.
Speaker 14: Showed up, the three of them were taking Downtown and
Narcotic squad and booked.
Speaker 5: It's all I can tell you about it.
Speaker 15: Well, during the time you were waiting there in the room, Blanche,
did you have any trouble with this aspects at all?
Speaker 14: I got a lot of talk from one of the men,
fellow by the name of Evans, he's supposed to run
the boarding house, claims he didn't have anything to do
with it.
Speaker 3: He didn't know the girl was a hype, you know,
the usual stuff, and that was the extent of it.
Just tough, sure, that's all.
Speaker 15: Why, Well, that's not the story According to Evans, he
had his lawyer bailed him out last night. He was
in the file charges against you.
Speaker 3: Huh, what do you mean?
Speaker 5: Salt and battery?
Speaker 15: He claims that you worked him over for no reason
at Allway says you beat him up and dislocated his shoulder.
Speaker 5: Oh, he's crazy. He's lying. I didn't work him over
at he says.
Speaker 15: He's got witnesses to prove it. Blanchard. The two people
who were with him, the woman the other man, he
says elsewhere, that's what you did, But.
Speaker 14: It's not true. They're trying to cook up a frame.
I didn't touch any of them. Well, Evans looked like
he's been messed up, cuts and bruises all over his face,
his shoulders fairly recent too. I know that, but I
didn't do it. He was in the same shape when
I found him up in that room yesterday. Matter of fact,
I asked him about it. He wouldn't tell me. It's
the truth, Sergeant so helped me. All three of them
are lying I didn't beat him up.
Speaker 15: Well, it's your word against theirs. Blanchard, the fact scene
the favor Evans.
Speaker 5: I don't get this at all.
Speaker 14: Two of those people are known hype states, whear anything
for a free cap. You know that what good is
their word?
Speaker 3: Maybe no good at all. It's not up to us
to decide. Evans failed to complaint to our job to
follow through.
Speaker 15: Now you're sure about the shape Evans was in when
you found him up in that room yesterday? Blanched. He
was already marked up?
Speaker 3: Is that right? I'm sure he was. I told you
I asked him about it. He wouldn't answer me.
Speaker 15: But you had no way of proving that you couldn't
possibly have been responsible for it.
Speaker 5: Well, it's up to him, isn't it, Evans?
Speaker 14: He says, I worked him over.
Speaker 3: Let him prove it. Well'm praid he's got the jump. There,
two witnesses.
Speaker 1: I hope you'll be with us then in the meantime.
