00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,159
about what I go ahead and choose for them, as

23
00:02:00,159 --> 00:02:03,640
opposed to the things that we will play Monday through Saturday.

24
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,719
We want to bring you a pretty standard detective story

25
00:02:07,799 --> 00:02:11,479
every single day for those but as this is a

26
00:02:11,599 --> 00:02:14,879
special we can kind of stretch the bounds of what

27
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,319
we might do on the program. We have done science

28
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,400
fiction detective programs with an episode of.

29
00:02:21,599 --> 00:02:23,879
Speaker 3: X minus one, We've done some comedy.

30
00:02:24,159 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 2: So how about a fantasy detective program? And I don't

31
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,319
mean fantasy in terms of Lords of the ringa something

32
00:02:31,479 --> 00:02:35,159
like that. This is from a pretty unique series. It's

33
00:02:35,199 --> 00:02:39,759
called Cloud Nine. There are five episodes in existence and

34
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,039
it's from nineteen fifty. We don't have a great deal

35
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:47,120
of information on the series other than what's contained in

36
00:02:47,159 --> 00:02:50,800
it itself, and the central premise appears to be that

37
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:55,199
a man is constantly whisked up to Cloud nine, taken

38
00:02:55,280 --> 00:03:00,639
on a journey to a fantasy location a location in

39
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,599
real life. One episode that's in existence had him going

40
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,439
out West, another had him going to Paris. Today's episode

41
00:03:08,719 --> 00:03:11,400
has him going to the Land of Radio Detectives. So

42
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,319
with that introduction done, let's go ahead and take a

43
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,800
listen to today's episode. This is from Cloud nine, the original

44
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:23,639
air day July the twenty first of nineteen fifty.

45
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:31,360

Speaker 5: I figure everything you listen to is educational, you know

50
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:48,879

51
00:03:51,199 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 3: Another one? Yeah, yeah, I guess so fundamental. Yeah, take

52
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:00,840
a break.

53
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 5: You know, a guy can always learn just by listening.

54
00:04:05,319 --> 00:04:09,000
That's why when a fella comes in and says, mister Harrington,

55
00:04:09,439 --> 00:04:10,680
you know what's wrong with the world.

56
00:04:11,719 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 3: I listen, you can always learn.

57
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,160

00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,440
radio detectives. I'm sure you've heard of them.

Speaker 3: All these names. You seem to know them? What cause?

165
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,799
Speaker 9: I had to put it simply, friend. It may seem immodest,

166
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,559
but I taught them quite a lot about the business.

167
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 3: That is.

168
00:11:39,039 --> 00:11:42,159
Speaker 9: I am the most private of private eyes. Don't do

169
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,799
it professionally any more. However, you are most of them

170
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,000
calling me for consultation that sort of thing.

171
00:11:48,799 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 10: Oh excuse well, yes, is he just got in? Oh

172
00:11:56,399 --> 00:12:04,279
I think we can fix that. Don't worry about it. Yeah, goodbye,

173
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:09,840
Oh dear, that was that inner sanctum Chap, the one who.

174
00:12:09,759 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 9: Laughs normally, but he's very unhappy at the moment some

175
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:15,840
prankster oiled his squeaking door.

176
00:12:16,799 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 14: Say this radio detective thing is quite a business, isn't it.

177
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,960
It has its problem. Sorry to bother your enment.

178
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,039
Speaker 7: Could you be good enough to come down to my

179
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:26,480
office for.

180
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 9: A moment, But of course, your lock. I'll come with you.

181
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 3: It's frightful, a good deal, a friend.

182
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,399
Speaker 10: Amuse yourself while I'm gone. I think there's an old

183
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,159
Sam Spade script on my desk.

184
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:36,399
Speaker 9: I'd like to look it over.

185
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:44,799
Speaker 14: Oh sure, sure, go ahead, let's see the script. I

186
00:12:44,799 --> 00:12:49,120
wonder if I could do this stuff. The opening scene

187
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:55,080
a little miss Muffett Caper. I just finished hanging up

188
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,759
the phone after saying Sam Spade Detective Agency. Effie had

189
00:12:58,799 --> 00:13:01,519
gone out, and I settled back in my chair with

190
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:06,200
a racing form, all set for a quiet afternoon. When

191
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,960
she came in, she being a well turned brunette, wearing

192
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,120
a sweater which did considerably more for than just make

193
00:13:13,159 --> 00:13:16,080
a rich I was going to say hello as she

194
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,360
stuck out her hand, but on second glance I saw

195
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:23,279
that those long, tapering, well manicured fingers held a pearl

196
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:27,600
handle thirty eight shape thirty eight. I was cordial and said, cleverly,

197
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,039
sit on, no thanks.

198
00:13:29,759 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 15: Mister Spade.

199
00:13:30,799 --> 00:13:31,639
Speaker 3: Huh.

200
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,879
Speaker 15: I have heard a lot about you, mister Spade, and

201
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:35,200
I have no time to waste.

202
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:36,279
Speaker 3: Honey, put that thing down.

203
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 14: I'm not Sam Spade.

204
00:13:37,519 --> 00:13:39,759
Speaker 15: I do not believe you. I know you are.

205
00:13:39,879 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 3: And now look, I just happened to be sitting here.

206
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 15: Anything happens to me. I want you to find me.

207
00:13:46,399 --> 00:13:47,240
I need protection.

208
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:53,519
Speaker 14: Hey, look, baby, you've got me wrong. Two fifty dollars bills.

209
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 15: I must go now.

210
00:13:54,879 --> 00:14:04,159
Speaker 14: Hey, wait a minute, what's your name? What minute? How

211
00:14:04,159 --> 00:14:08,960
about that? Let's see that script. Her name, she said,

212
00:14:09,279 --> 00:14:16,440
was Caesar Muffett. And when she went out, she slammed

213
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:33,240
the door. I'm sorry to bother you. But the funniest

214
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,039
thing I don't know, Well, a gal came in. She's

215
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:36,639
in trouble.

216
00:14:37,159 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 7: One thing, old fellow. In this business, one is never ruffled.

217
00:14:40,559 --> 00:14:44,039
I have remained calm through seventy eight murders, sixty kidnappings,

218
00:14:44,159 --> 00:14:45,639
and the score of other crimes.

219
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,519
Speaker 3: Pause, my definitely. Did did you ever hear of a gal?

220
00:14:48,559 --> 00:14:50,039
But the name of a Ziza Muffett?

221
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 7: Strange name, By jove, there's a musical comedy singer and

222
00:14:54,399 --> 00:14:59,879
dancer called Aziza. Yes, sir, Aziza Muffett could be the same.

223
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,279
You know, she's an Algeriana, some sort of thing. What

224
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:03,919
did she look like?

225
00:15:04,039 --> 00:15:10,399
Speaker 3: Why don't know? She's a brunette shapely. Oh no, no, no, no,

226
00:15:10,519 --> 00:15:10,960
my boy.

227
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:15,519
Speaker 7: In a detective show, the girls are always ravishingly beautiful,

228
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,919
never never played. Now, if this is the Aziza of

229
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,320
which I'm thinking, but let me describe her by all

230
00:15:23,399 --> 00:15:29,000
means thank you, at first her crowning attribute, her sparkling,

231
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:37,799
shimmering hair, then the graceful slope of her ravishing shoulders,

232
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:48,000
and then her uh oh yes, I see her to

233
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:52,279
me yes, And finally, you might say, the delicate suggestion

234
00:15:52,840 --> 00:16:03,919
of the manner in which she walks, and then when.

235
00:16:03,639 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 14: She stops, When she stops, I can't be the same one.

236
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 7: I've come to think of it. Gentlemen, As Caesar is

237
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,399
playing now at the Music Hall Theater, why don't you

238
00:16:20,399 --> 00:16:21,559
two run along?

239
00:16:21,639 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, let's go. How does that happen?

240
00:16:37,279 --> 00:16:40,039
Speaker 14: There's always a taxi whenever a detective wants it.

241
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 10: No, it's quite simple, otherwise would slow up the plot.

242
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:47,799
Right over that driver stage door. That's it.

243
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 3: Here you are?

244
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,879
Speaker 9: You notice that every detective always has the right change

245
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,399
and paying a cab. You just tend to drive bill

246
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,240
and get out. Yeah, I wondered about that, Just thought

247
00:17:03,279 --> 00:17:04,960
you'd like to know. Here's the stage row.

248
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,599
Speaker 8: Hello, could I help you gentlemen.

249
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 9: Peter, you working as a stage door.

00:17:23,839 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 8: How are you, Oh yes, yes, it's nice to meet you, sir.

255
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 9: Is there a singer by the name of Ziza here?

256
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:37,599
Speaker 8: Oh? Oh, yes, Aziza. Such a strange girl. She's coming

257
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:41,160
on now. Why don't you stand here in your wings

258
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,680
and watch her?

259
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:44,559
Speaker 3: That's the girl.

260
00:17:48,599 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 12: Don't remas, don't shine, get my love, and.

261
00:17:52,519 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 3: In the even time when I am with my baby,

262
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:01,359
it's not fun.

263
00:18:01,559 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 12: When the sun rose, I get going.

264
00:18:04,559 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 16: When the sun goes down, and I made mine.

265
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 15: That's when we kiss and kiss and kiss, and then

266
00:18:16,279 --> 00:18:17,400
we kiss them old.

267
00:18:18,319 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 16: Don't ask how many times we kiss at a time

268
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:22,440
like this?

269
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 15: Who needs goes so?

270
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,599
Speaker 12: I don't care the sun don't shine?

271
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 11: What happened to the wind?

272
00:18:31,519 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 4: The girl?

273
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 12: To make every day more enjoyable, treat yourself often the refreshing,

283
00:19:45,799 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 8: Yes, yes it is. But she doesn't seem to be

284
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:49,799
in here.

285
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 3: I wonder what could have happened to her.

286
00:19:53,279 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 8: Perhaps perhaps she's murdered and hanging in a closet or

287
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:03,680
something like that. Oh no, she isn't. That's a pity.

288
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:05,799
It would solve everything.

289
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 3: Will and I get mixed up on this. I was

290
00:20:08,759 --> 00:20:10,759
just sitting there reading a Sam Spade script.

291
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 17: Come in, Come in, most honorable professor. Oh, come in,

292
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:21,599
servant of honorable professor. Wished to be of assistance in

293
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,759
this baffling case. Cando, it was good to see you, Chan,

294
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:30,039
Oh Chan, meet a friend of mine. I'm deeply honored

295
00:20:30,079 --> 00:20:32,440
to make the acquaintance of esteemed friend.

296
00:20:32,799 --> 00:20:35,319
Speaker 3: Happy to know you. What goes on here with me?

297
00:20:35,559 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 9: Brought illustrious co worker?

298
00:20:37,559 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 3: Oh yes, I thought I'd pop along with him, you know. Oh,

299
00:20:40,039 --> 00:20:40,880
good of you to come.

300
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:45,640
Speaker 9: It seems as he's a Muffett has disappeared, really planning to.

301
00:20:45,599 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 3: Be away long? Where don't we go from here? Hmm?

302
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 7: I wondered if there's a precedent. I remember how I

303
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,880
sold my most baffling case. Perhaps that would help?

304
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 3: How is that?

305
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:56,319
Speaker 5: Oh?

306
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 7: Yes, yes, I remember. I went to a phone box,

307
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:04,799

Speaker 9: So they say, oh, he must be the one. Oh,

00:29:23,359 --> 00:29:26,799

00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,759

446
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:09,200
the Columbia Broadcasting System.

447
00:33:09,279 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 16: This is Andrew J.

448
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 4: Graham, author of the web surface series Oh and a

449
00:33:13,359 --> 00:33:14,200
Man of His Wife.

450
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 3: You're listening to the great Detectives of Old time radio.

451
00:33:24,279 --> 00:33:26,519
Welcome back. Well that was fun.

452
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:31,599
Speaker 2: A lot of really great in jokes about detective and

453
00:33:32,039 --> 00:33:35,279
mystery programs of the era, as well as some of

454
00:33:35,319 --> 00:33:39,599
the famous detectives. Of course, you have references to Sherlock Home,

455
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:40,839
Sam Spade.

456
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:40,799
Speaker 3: Jo On E.

457
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:44,799
Speaker 2: Doller, the Whistler, and Inner Sanctum, as well as Charlie

458
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:50,119
Chen and a fair Peter Lorian personation. The people really

459
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,000
use that all the time in the Golden Age of radio.

460
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,240
And then you have the music. The incidental music on

461
00:33:56,319 --> 00:34:00,759
this was really nice, and then the scene was absolutely

462
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:04,519
top notch this episode. One other reason I played it

463
00:34:04,559 --> 00:34:07,559
is that It originated from the city of Chicago, and

464
00:34:07,599 --> 00:34:10,840
we don't get a lot of Chicago based programs. Very

465
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:14,639
few have survived. Of course, you have not Beat, which

466
00:34:14,679 --> 00:34:17,679
is set in Chicago, butts recorded out in Allywood. But

467
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,719
this is a nice unique mix of talent and a

468
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:25,760
really unique program. Certainly nothing else like it that we've

469
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,199
played or probably will play in the future. But I

470
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,559
hope you enjoyed the change of pace. Monday, we'll be

471
00:34:31,679 --> 00:34:35,599
back with not Beat Tuesday, listen for Follow That Man,

472
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,320
and then a week from Tuesday, it'll be time for

473
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,880
the Judge. In the meantimes. In your comments to Books
