Today we're going to get into one of the most lauded Golden Age radio programs,
1:23
the CBS version of the Adventures of Philip Marlow. The series starred Gerald
1:29
Moore. Moore was best known at this point in his career for his character
1:34
work over radio. He played all sorts of roles with just great power and
1:42
just a fantastic voice for radio. But he's but he'd also had some film
1:49
work. He had been the star of the first three post war Lone Wolf
1:57
movies about Michael Lanyard in nineteen forty six and forty seven, and even start
2:06
in the Lone Wolf radio program. Of course, Philip Marlowe and Michael Lanyard
2:12
were two different characters. In addition, he would also end up narrating the
2:17
Lone Ranger when it came to television The Adventures of Philip marlow This would be
2:25
to me the series. When I most think of Gerald Moore, what comes
2:30
to me because his unique voice creates a memorable and powerful marlow This is the
2:36
very first episode of his run, and not all of the series' best known
2:43
aspects, such as his get this and Get It Straight introduction, are present,
2:49
but you get a feel for the way the series is going to go.
2:53
So we begin with CBS's presentation of the Adventures of Philip marlow and the
3:00
episode Red Wind from September twenty sixth of nineteen forty eight. It was hot,
3:07
boiling hot that night. I wanted to grab a beer and turn in
3:09
early. So what happens? I get my beer, but when it comes
3:13
a gunshot, A beautiful woman in trouble and murder from the pen of Raymond
3:21
Chandler, outstanding author of crime mystery. CBS presents his most famous character,
3:25
brought to you now in the Adventures of Philip Barlow, with Gerald Moore starred
3:38
as Philip Barlow. We bring you tonight's unusual story, Red Wind. There
3:53
was a rough desert wind blowing into Los Angeles that evening. It was one
3:55
of those hot, dry Santa Annas that come downs with the mop passes and
4:00
curl your hair and make your nerves jump on your skin. Itch are nights
4:04
like that. Every booze party ends in a fight, and meek little housewives
4:08
feel the edge of a carving knife and study their husband's next Anything can happen
4:14
when the Santa Anna blows in from the desert. I closed up my office
4:20
early. I got tired of reading Philip Marlow Private Investigative backwards on the ground
4:26
glass of my office door. So I locked up and decided a nice cold
4:30
beer would taste good before I went up to my apartment. Hill up again,
4:33
mister Marlon Mallow Marl. Yeah, Malin's a fish. Yeah I know.
4:39
Malin's also the name of a lady on the radio malon Comma Marry the
4:42
story of Yeah, my Wifeless is to it. Oh good for her all
4:46
right here. You're farer that drunk again? What do you expect this business?
4:50
Autograph hounds, my sap it here, be right with your sport.
4:56
Gotta draw this man a beer ran out loud, these stumble blumbs. Hey
5:00
you got another customer backers, Hey, pud you sing the lady in here
5:03
lately, lady that tall, good looking brown hair print Valero jacket on a
5:09
blue sub dress. No, sir, no sah. Nobody liked that spinning
5:14
all right, straight scotch fast, yes, sir, Yes, is the
5:19
man drunk? I noticed the drunk was grinning at him, and then,
5:23
without changing his grin, the drunk swept the gun from somewhere so fast it
5:27
was just a blur coming out, made a couple of hard snaps, A
5:30
little smoke. Very you other guys don't move so long, waldough, don't
5:41
move you too. I bet I made his nose so long. Boys,
5:49
drink up, Get on the phone card, I'll get his license number.
5:53
Oh smoke. He throve away into that guy's car, and maybe he ain't
5:57
dead. He's dead all right. Oh that guy was using a twenty two
6:00
target prist. When they use that kind of gun, they don't make mistakes
6:01
where's your phone? This is for the police. Prow Cord boys were there
6:11
in five minutes. All I was out of business, all right. Nothing
6:15
in his pockets told who he was, but he had about seven hundred dollars
6:17
on him. With that kind of heavy coin, you can buy a good
6:20
nineteen ten automobile even today. Now, I told the cops what I knew,
6:25
including about Warlow's brown head pretty girl in the bolero jacket. It was
6:30
about nine o'clock when I stepped out of the elevator in my apartment house and
6:33
almost walked right into a brown head pretty girl in the billero jacket waiting for
6:39
the elevator on my floor. Excuse me just a minute, lady. What
6:44
is I'm a great admirer of balero jackets. I'll take the one you've got
6:46
on for instance. I'm sorry, but I'm no, no, no,
6:48
wait, if you'll be good enough to let me buy. Oh you've made
6:51
me miss the elevator. It's just as well. What it's better you don't
6:57
go out in those clothes. What do you mean it's all good looking balero
7:01
jacket, blue silk dress. Lady? Might I take the trouble of telling
7:06
you that you're in trouble, trouble, and the cops are looking for you
7:11
in those clothes. I haven't done anything, maybe not, But if I
7:15
were you, i'd have a little talk with me. I'm forty one across
7:17
the hall. I know things about you. Well, good girl, come
7:25
along. It took a firm grip on her arm, but I managed to
7:31
get her to my room. I rustled up some drinks, but when I
7:34
turned to give her hers I saw she held a small automatic. She looked
7:41
at me steadily. I put down both classes slowly so I wouldn't be misunderstood.
7:47
Look, sister, I know it's hot tonight and he does funny things
7:51
to people. But let's put that little thing away and have a nice cool
7:55
drink. Huh, don't move. Oh, I'm strictly frozen in my tracks.
7:59
Stay that, okay, okay. Wouldn't you like to know that I'm
8:03
a private detective? Private detection. I can prove it if you'll let me.
8:07
That's better. I don't like those things pointed at me. I'll have
8:13
that drink. Oh good. I don't often give good liquor away like this.
8:16
I can't afford it. Why are they act? The man was just
8:22
shot in a bar down the street before he got it even asking you about
8:26
a tall, pretty girl with a balerro jacket. What did he look like?
8:31
This man? He was tall, about five eleven, slim, dark,
8:35
dark brown eyes, with a lot of glitter, dark suit, white
8:37
handkerchief in the breast pocket. And he must have seen you early at night
8:41
to know how you addressed? Am I getting anywhere? He used to be
8:46
my my chauffeur. He had an appointment with him, didn't you? He
8:50
asked for you, didn't he? Yes, I had an appointment with him.
8:56
He'd stolen something from me when he left three days ago. I was
9:00
going to buy it back from him. Why didn't you tell the police?
9:03
I couldn't tell it was valuable? Wasn't it valuable enough for Warlow to steel?
9:07
Fifteen thousand dollars? He nuts? But it wasn't for Dad. You
9:13
see, it meant something. Man I loved David Trummit. Now he's dead.
9:22
To shut down overturney, I go back and tell my husband that he'll
9:28
he probably hired you, he did. How much is he paying me?
9:31
And where is this husband of yours? You got a meeting this late at
9:35
night? A very important man, the hydro electric engineer. Never mind about
9:41
him? What about Warlow? Why was he knocked off? He's dead?
9:46
Waldo is dead, Yes, sister, he's dead, very dead. Screaming
9:48
won't bring him back. I'm not going to scream. There was a dressman
9:54
behind the door, hired there. Take a glass with you all. I
10:03
went to the door, making a loud, yawning sound. Foolishly, I
10:07
didn't have my gun. That was a mistake because when I opened the door
10:11
of the guy on the other side certainly had one twenty two target automatic that
10:16
had already killed one man that night, and I knew the bald hid,
10:20
the flat, shiny eyes and the face like a poisonous lizard ball. He
10:24
put the muzzle of his gun lightly against my throat. Back into the room,
10:28
and baldy k door shut. You alone, Look for yourself. I'm
10:35
asking, not looking. I'm alone. You and that dumb buttend to saw
10:39
me? Dust off Waldo? What did wald do to you? Who's asking?
10:43
Just making conversations? He still done me on a bank job we did
10:48
together, got me four years in Michigan. Pen How is he dead?
10:56
So I'm still good? Jump offs over? Tell me why I came here,
11:01
Pal, I heard the bar keeping me talking. I told him my
11:05
name and where I lived. That's how Pal, I said, why skip
11:09
it? Hangman won't ask you. I guess why he's there. You're pretty
11:13
tough at that, answered Pal. But you're slamming off all right, But
11:20
could you get that gun out of my neck and try somewhere else? Just
11:24
any place? This better? This suits you, all right? It's just
11:28
so, it isn't my neck, say, went Pal, it's your party.
11:35
I leaned against the gun, weakly sought. The dressing room showed a
11:39
crack of darkness. The crack widened. I began to shake a little in
11:43
spite of the heat. The girl came quietly into the room, but there
11:46
was white over on her irises. She was scared. She had a gun
11:50
in her hand, but I was sorry for her dead. Sorry. She
11:54
tried to make the door a scream. By the way, it would be
11:56
curtains for both of us. Scared, mister worried about it, little thing
12:01
that couldn't talk. The girl floated me, yes on my by Palie.
12:07
The horrified face was drifting totous. My mouth was as cold and dry as
12:11
yesterday's toast. Well, kid, how does it feel you ready yet?
12:18
Say the word? Well, don't take all night about it. If you're
12:20
gonna do something about it, do it? Why not? Pal I like
12:24
this? Suppose I yell going ahead? Yeah, thanks, sister, Advise
12:35
me. Everything I have is yours now and forever. Flatter me. No
12:43
end, lady, I only punched him. I get out of here while
12:45
I call the cops down on this killer. Good night. Wait a minute,
12:48
Wait a minute. That jacket mansha for the cops. Leave it here.
12:52
You don't need it in this kind of weather. Okay, see you
12:56
again. I don't know who might have been the rival of a dead flyer
13:01
and things like that. Yeah, second though, I forget the whole thing.
13:07
I'll see if the police get Jesse James here. Good night ly Ah
13:33
yeah you mean me? Yes? Please? Oh you again? Set in.
13:39
I want to talk to that. You want to know what happened at
13:43
headquarters. Yes, I went down to headquarters with the law and gave him
13:46
the story. I left you out of it. You saved my life,
13:50
so no one knows anything about you. Incidentally, neither away. My name
13:56
is missus Frank Bartley two twelve three month place. Well lent you a two
14:03
four five ninety six. That's what you want, I guess, soir.
14:09
Oh there it is. Now, where'd you really come back? I wanted
14:15
my crews. Oh no, pearls too, Yes, all right, tell
14:18
me about the pearls. We've had a murder, a beautiful mystery woman,
14:22
and a sadistic killer, and an heroic rescue. Now we will have pearls.
14:28
I was surviving back from the man called Holder, and I saw everything
14:31
that came out of his pockets. They weren't any pearls. Could they be
14:35
hidden in his apocket? That's possible. Waldo lived on the same floor as
14:39
you do in this apartment half And why didn't I know him at least by
14:43
sight? Well, they just moved in last week. He managed to get
14:48
a sublet sort of amateur magician on the side. Huh, it's true,
14:54
getting ova. Yeah, what about your husband? This hot, mysterious night,
15:00
it's still it is meet good Glay. Did you say it? I
15:11
didn't have any answers. We just sat there looking at one another. I
15:18
was suddenly aware of the hot desert winds, staring at the night. I
15:22
took hold of her and I kissed her. She said, very still.
15:28
I was shaking. When I let go of her. Her voice trembled a
15:31
little when she spoke. I meant to do that. Oh, I wasn't
15:39
always this one. Only since Johnny Darns was killed in the war. He
15:46
gave me those curls, forty one of them, the diamond Colpellac passed.
15:54
I'd have loved them if they were wooden beads, because he gave him tum
16:00
not shot. Or you'd love just one time. You understand that, yes
16:07
I can. But I don't understand is how you could explain a fifteen thousand
16:11
dollars pearl necklace to your husband? Throw them a limitation that I got them
16:15
nice style? How did Waldo last hint of them? And what they stood
16:18
for? And my husband was in Argentina, Waldo and I would go for
16:23
long drives. It was restless and wretched because of john Sometimes Waldo and I
16:30
had a little drink again, but that was all. But you can fight
16:33
in Wallow about those pearls. And when your husband came back, Wallow stole
16:37
the pearls and ib to sell them back to your Tell Papa, now you
16:40
think the pearls are upstairs and Warlow's apartment. I suppose it's a lot.
16:45
I've been paid. I'll go look quit here was I gone? Long?
17:03
Waller? Well, no, no pearls, no pearls. There was a
17:10
man in Waller's room. Man there a guy named Leon Velisanos, Mexican,
17:17
South American, about forty five, small, iron gray hair, very neat,
17:21
corn colored soup wine colored. Sie. No, I don't think I
17:23
know the me. You say he was in the room. Yeah, what
17:27
did he say? Very little? In fact nothing. He was dead.

19:03
I sat with Lola busily in a car, listening to the hot wind
19:06
gallop around in the midnight streets. I just told her about the Latin looking
19:10
man I'd found in Waldow's room in a very dead condition. I held her
19:15
hands until they stopped trembling, and then I gave it a few remaining details.
19:21
Get a gun in a shoulder hosted, but someone had strangled him before
19:22
he could set up in business with a gun. Someone you see that convertible
19:29
coops who cars ahead of us for hours there before I talked here to wait
19:33
for you. Leon, the guy in Wallow's room. Came in a car
19:37
according to the key container he carried it isn't his car? Is his car?
19:41
Does it mean? Yeah? It belonged to a lady according to the
19:44
tag, and a car to Eugenie Kochenko, West Los Angeles. You better
19:49
go home now? How do you do? Drive that plassy convertible around and
19:55
wave with my friend? Impress people we run along now me, I've got
20:00
another date. Yes, what is it? Pieces Eugenie Colchenko? Yes,
20:23
what is it? Did you lose or misplaced? A pigeon gray convertible coupet?
20:27
What do you say? I found it, brought it home to you?
20:32
Come in please, it is a reward you wish? Shall we see
20:38
part of a dragon? Lady? Who was he? Who was who?
20:41
A little guy? Leon? Your lungs? Your car? So he's dead?
20:44
Who was he? No? No, darling, darling, come here
20:48
please? Who is this man? I came about miss Kolchenko's car? What
20:55
about a car? A gentleman who barred it, couldn't return it on account
20:59
of isn't a lie, darling? He is d that was putting it more
21:02
bluntly, of course, yeah, eh, yeah, completely? Who are
21:04
you? Philip Marlow private investigator my card? Have you told the police yet?
21:12
Never do it once? What can be profitably deferred pending negotiations? I
21:18
might negotiate peachy. Just what do you know, Marlon Hell, A man
21:23
name of Worlow is shot in a bar tonight. I happen to have the
21:26
inside as to who he was, and when I visited his apartment tonight I
21:30
found this Leon Velisanos did he wouldn't have had five hundred dollars and twenties on
21:34
nimody. No, because Warlow had over seven hundred dollarsana when he was killed
21:40
in that cocktail bar, mostly in twenties. Is there a basis of negotiation
21:45
yet? Very well, Malo. There were certain bills for some stuff in
21:49
Spotenko here head cards to my account. But Jo told me I might charge
21:55
to you r a car, all right, my dear. So I wasn't
21:56
bright. That might be the understatement of a decade. But go on,
22:00
I had the bills safely in my briefcase. Somehow, there's Waldo had a
22:04
chance to steal a briefcase I hiredly On gave him five hundred dollars to buy
22:08
back those bills from Waldo Instead, Waldow took Leon's coupons, was forced to
22:12
kill Leon in the process. And he went out to keep another date and
22:15
walked into an old pal hostile enough to blow him down. And somebody still
22:19
has those bills. And I'm in front of Ward. Huh. The man
22:23
who shot Waldow got away in Waldow's car with your briefcase. And it could
22:27
be cops caught him and the police have the briefcase. Maybe, but the
22:33
police are interested in solving crimes, not in tossing much to the benefit of
22:36
sensation. It is. I have a friend or two a headquarters. Let
22:38
us see what I can do. It's worth five hundred dollars to me my
22:42
alone, and that's what it'll cost you. Good luck and thank you,
22:48
mister Marlow. Philip Marlow. Remember my name is Frank Barsley Westling. Oh
22:57
And just what does that mean the big hydro electric engineer? Yeah, yes,
23:03
how do you know? Never mind? May I use your telephone someday?
23:18
I must tell you, abuddy, Borah, that is a solid earthy
23:21
Borough detective lieutenant over its central homicide Well. I phoned the borrowed from Calchenko's
23:26
house and told him where he could find a well dressed cadever named Leon and
23:30
furnished a few smaller details. I gave you Borrow a time to check my
23:33
tip, and then I went down to see the good Lieutenant and told him
23:37
why I'd been up in Warlow's room only to find Leon instead of a certain
23:41
lady's spring of pearls. Pearls, Eh, yeah, I thought Waldow might
23:45
have had them up there. Whose pearls were they? The ladies go on,
23:49
Oh, they might have been in Warlow's car that Warlow's killer drove away
23:52
in. Yeah what yeah, they might have Yeah. Also batch of bills
24:00
charged to the account of a certain Frank Vossily. Yeah. Police aren't interested
24:04
in domestic scandal. They want to prevent us solve crimes. Right, So
24:08
I've got five hundred dollars for the police fund if those pearls and those bills
24:12
are returned to their rightful owner. Quit your kidding. It's a valuable necklace.
24:17
Yeah, there's your necklace. Take it away on the levely bar.
24:23
Just tell me straight what it's all about. Oh sure, sure, but
24:27
you see this Wallow is blackmailing a wife with the pearls and her husband with
24:30
the bills. Bossily, that's the guy's name sent Leon to get the bills
24:34
from wadow Wallow, kill him, and then stepped out and got nailed by
24:37
that guy in the bar. It's tool pigeoned against. Once I left,
24:41
Bossily's name stays out of the papers. I get five hundred bucks. It
24:44
goes to the police fund. Thanks, we'll keep them out. I'm not
24:48
in this case for money. I just want to get back the bills and
24:49
the pearls ure And like you say, Marlow, the police aren't in business
24:55
to sling mud. Look you can deliver the pearls to the lady yourself if
24:59
you like. No, you better take them to a Marlow. You see,
25:03
except for that diamond propeller clasp on them. Their phony phony. But
25:07
look, Marlow, I know pearls. Real pearls feel gritty between the teeth.
25:15
These are hard and glassy. Cry yeah yeah, their phony all but
25:22
the class, Marlow, all but the clasp. I took the pearls and
25:30
had them appraise the next morning at a gilt edge place in Beverly Hills.
25:36
Phony all over, the clasp and imitation as good as these couldn't have been
25:41
made that fast. These were the pearls at Wallow had stolen. I took
25:45
the glass pearls to a dive on No Rose and had them duplicated for twenty
25:48
eight dollars. I had the jeweler touched the diamond class for the twenty dollars
25:52
duplicate spring of pearls, and I called up Lola. Hello, Hello,
25:56
Okay, you're in. Yes, have a string of pearls for you.
26:03
Wait a minute, Wait a minute, Lola Walla was getting set to jypy.
26:07
We sold the real pearls and made up a string with the diamond clasp.
26:11
Oh, okay, sure, meet me at four at Nicolaiath's. Hey,
26:38
yah, Lola, these are the pearls the police found in Warlow's car.
26:42
You're right, they're not mont. I'm sorry, Lola. No,

27:04

27:21
let me know. Huh names Marlow, Philip Marlow, Remon, Philip Mallow
27:42
I drove almost to Meliboo, and then I parked. And then I walked
27:49
way out on a rock quick jutting into the Pacific Ocean. And then I
27:55
reached into my pocket and dug out the string of Bohemian last pearls the Kennedy
28:02
Barr had found in Waldo's car. I cut them knot at one end,
28:07
slipped the pearls off, one by one, one by one, I flipped
28:15
them into the water. Would have seen the gulls swoop down on them.
28:21
Then they flapped up again, screaming indignantly onny pearls. They'd fooled Waldow and
28:29
Lola Varsila, but they couldn't pull the seagull, I said aloud, So
28:37
the memory of Johnny Delmas, just another four flushing. I listened awhile with
28:53
the wheeling seagulls. All at once I realized that the wind had died.
29:00
The Santa Anna had blown itself out. The Red Wind was done. It
29:06
was over. It was cool again. The Adventures of Philip Barlow, created
29:19
by Raymond Chandler, stars Gerald Moore and is produced and directed by Norman McDonald.
29:34
In Tonight's story, Red Wind, Lola was played by Peggy Weber and
29:38
Barry Kroger was Baldy. Joan Banks played Eugenie Kolchenko, Jeff Corey was lieutenanty
29:45
Bara Parley Bear was Varsley, Lou Krugman was Waldo, and Wilms Herbert played
29:51
the bartender. The special music was conceived and conducted by Ivan dit Bars.

30:26
marine. Combine travel, adventure and education at no expense to yourself. When
30:30
you are a marine, you can travel to the far places of the Earth

and carry on at the same time your own educational program through free Marine Corps
30:38
Institute correspondence courses. You have plenty of courses to choose from, and an
30:44
ideal way of studying geography or history is to take a course dealing with a
30:48
background of the area in which you are stationed, or any of the more
30:52
than one hundred and sixty Marine Corps Institute courses. Thanks to this Marine Corps
30:56
Institute, thousands of marines are making content annual educational advancements during their service in
31:03
the US Marine Corps. That opportunity upon becoming a US Marine is yours for
31:07
the asking. Check with your nearest Marine Corps Recruiting Office tomorrow for complete information
31:21
next week. At the same time, be sure to tune in for another
31:23
adventure of Philip Marlowe. When Marlowe says, I was low, very low
31:30
the night I set out searching for the girl with the strange hazel eyes.
31:36
The fog which hung over Los Angeles didn't help. I felt even worse when
31:40
I found it, but by then I had death on my hands. If
31:52
you like your laughs mingled with spicy music, be around tomorrow to hear the
31:56
premiere of Alka Seltzer Time, feature HERBS writer and Raymond Scott's Quintet. They'll
32:01
be guest stars too. Here's the show that's guaranteed to keep Monday from being
32:07
blue. It's coming your way Mondays through Fridays over most of these CBS stations,
32:12
So consult your local newspaper for the time of Alka Seltzer Time. This
32:21
is Roy Rowan speaking for CBS the Columbia Broadcasting System. Welcome back. Well.
32:39
This was essentially the same script as was performed by Van Heflin we listened
32:46
to about a month ago, and while I thought Heflin did a decent job,
32:52
this was a better performance just in terms of the amount of energy and
33:00
Moore's overall style. Overall, this is a strong start for the series and
33:06
it works as an as an introduction to Marlow and even Lieutenantybara, who will
33:13
be a regular character in the series. With that, onto some listener comments
33:20
and feedback, and Richard has this to say, this incarnation of Marlow is
33:27
new to me. It's fantastic. Thank you for broadcasting it. Well,
33:31
thanks so much. And that's one thing I really do strive to do is
33:37
to just bring people every version of a character. And sometimes it can be
33:45
you know, whether it was Sherlock Holmes or Johnny Dollar. I know when
33:50
we were going through the other series with John Lone and Charles Russell and f
33:59
and O'Brien, I kept getting emails asked me when we were going to get
34:01
to Bob Bailey. But there were some great episodes and great stories along the
34:06
way, and some hidden gems, even if they haven't become the most commonly
34:12
played programs. And I think the Van Heflin's stories were definitely good radio and
34:20
some great stories that haven't been adapted elsewhere for radio. We also have a
34:25
listener question here from Jeff regarding our big list of radio detective shows. Who
34:32
ask, what about Dick Tracy. Dick Tracy, Dick Tracy. Yes,
34:38
we're going to do Dick Tracy eventually, one of the classic characters of detective
34:47
fiction in the United States. For some reason, I didn't have him on
34:53
my yes list. I meant to copy him over and I will do that.
34:58
But yeah, we've got him on the list. The episodes of Dick
35:00
Tracy are serial episodes that aren't complete, so we can't use them, but
35:06
there are a couple half hour shows and I think they'll definitely be worth listening
35:12
to when we get to them. So thanks for the question, Jeffrey.
35:15
I'll make that clarification anyhow, We will get to Dick Tracy one of these
35:20
days, thanks so much. All Right, Well, that will do it
35:22
for today. Join us back here tomorrow for Nick Carter, and we'll be
35:28
back next Wednesday with another episode of the Adventures of Philip Marlow and the Meantime.
