1:26
or in their present form in terms of completeness completeness for decades. However,
1:32
today's serial was one where the final episode was not found till sometime in the
1:40
middle of the last decade, so it's not been heard as often. But
1:44
let's go ahead and take a listen to today's episode The Sea Legs Matter from
1:52
Hollywood. It's time now for Johnny darn Hi, Johnny, didn't you tell
2:00
me one time at your quite a nut about fishing? Then got McCracken at
2:02
Universal Jesment Bureau, Doggonnett. You know you spiked my plans for a fishing
2:07
trip just a few weeks ago. Oh yeah, all right, let's on
2:09
your mind. Big fish, real big fish. You ever hear of Douglas
2:14
A land fair? Uh millionaire playboy sportsman? Your answer had well? Didn't
2:17
I read somewhere that he was sure? Did? Johnny at the bottom of
2:21
the Deep Blue Sea? And a four hundred thousand dollars claim has been filed
2:24
interested an expense account based on that will be a pleasure. Good night and
2:36
every weekday Night Bob Bailey and the Transcribed Adventures of the Man with the Action
2:40
Tact Expense Account America's Fabulous Freelance Insurance Investigator, Yours Trulee Johnny Dollar Problem Special
3:00
Investigator Johnny Dollar a Universal Adjustment Bureau, Hartford, Connecticut. Following is an
3:06
accounting of expenditures during my investigation of the Sea Legs Matter. Expense account out
3:15
of one ninety cents taxi from my apartment to the offices of Universal Adjustment where
3:19
Pat McCracken was waiting for me with a handful and a head full of information.
3:23
Who claims Johnny? Both filed by Constance Landsfeir the wife here copies of
3:28
them. I'll come too, pap now. Number one is against Douglas Landfair's
3:30
life policy with Greater Southwest Life and Casually Insurance Company two hundred and fifty thousand.
3:35
Oh, what's the other? One hundred and fifty thousand International Maritime Organization
3:38
for the loss of the land Fair yacht four hundred thousand clan. That's right,
3:44
Okay, what's the story? Well, Landfair was making a triple on
3:47
the coast of Central America and his yacht the Sea Legs. He ran onto
3:51
a rock or something, The boat sank and he and his crew one went
3:53
down with it. Well, do you have any reason to question the validity
3:57
of the claim by missus Landfair two and a half years ago? Landfair himself
4:00
filely claimed with International Maritime It seems he lost a power cruiser in't exactly the
4:04
same place near the Buldaro Islands off coast of Nicaragua eighty five thousand dollars total
4:12
loss happened in a spot where not one bit of the reculd be salvage.
4:15
Oh where'd you learn that? Local authorities in his small Nicaraguaan seaport and missus
4:19
Landfair. She was with him on that trip, but she wasn't with him
4:21
on this one aboard the sea lakes. No, or presumably she wouldn't be
4:25
around to file a claim. Where's Constant Landfair now home, as far as
4:30
I know, lives on their small estate on Long Island out near the town
4:32
of cut Yagua. Do you want to call her talk to her? No?
4:36
I think I'll go down there. Item two twenty one to twenty fair
4:44
and miscellaneias to cut you on Long Island? Item three a buck even for
4:47
a taxi from the little station to the landfair estate the state did you call
4:54
it? Mister? Well, isn't it well? It used to be before
4:57
the landfair is sold awful lot of it. So I guess there was nothing
5:00
else you could do to keep up with that highway of living. Keep talking
5:04
for him? Well, the old man land for his father in law.
5:09
He had plenty, I guess rapt he died. All kids seemed to do
5:13
to spend it. You know what I mean. Fancy yachts, let's polo,
5:16
playing flood in the winter, main the summer, all that sort of
5:20
thing. Oh, there's place now, right up ahead there on the right.
5:27
I looked, and when I saw, apparently bore out what the taxi
5:30
driver had said. A big stone wall surrounded what had evidently been the original
5:33
rather vast property belonging to the estate. Square. In the middle of it
5:36
set what was probably once called a mansion, but small new modern homes were
5:42
crowding in on the old house. Hello, this is Lan. I'm Johnny
5:58
Dollar. I'm representing the Universal Usment Bureau on hardfare. Oh yes, of
6:01
course, in connection with the insurer. Well won't you come in please writing
6:06
here, mister Dollar, and do pardon the looks of the place. I'm
6:10
afraid I've neglected things somewhat since well sait down. Please thank you. I
6:18
hope you don't mind answering a few questions, missus lampfere. But since you've
6:24
already filed claims on the insurance policies, well, I'll try to be as
6:27
brief as possible. I don't want to see in cold blotted about it,
6:30
mister Dollar. But the initial shock of losing Doug and the loss of the
6:33
yacht is passed. There's nothing to be gained in just sitting around feeling sorry
6:38
for myself, particularly in view of the day to day problems I have to
6:42
face. What problems, missus lampfere to be perfectly blunt about it? Financial
6:47
mostly Well, I must say your attitude is very commendable. It's a necessary
6:53
attitude under the circumstances. Now, what may I tell you? If you're
6:58
sure you don't mind talking about it, I'd like to know all I can
7:00
about the circumstances surrounding the sinking of the yacht. Well, I don't quite
7:05
know how to start. We were on a just a pleasure crew. You
7:10
were along on this trip, yes, that is, up until until the
7:15
day it happened. Oh why did Doug ever happened? I'm sorry, mister
7:23
Well. We were just taking our time, cruising south along the east coast
7:28
of Central America, doing a little fishing. We'd often taken the sea legs
7:31
down there. That's the yacht, Yes, a motor sailor here on the
7:36
wall. This is a picture of her. That's Doug on deck. Oh
7:42
isn't she beautiful? Sixty eight feet over all, twenty footeen solid tea decade
7:48
everything. Yes, that is a good looking bottom. Terrible to lose something
7:53
is nice as that, isn't it? Yes, yes, Dennica. Along
7:58
the coast of Nicaragua, Doug decided to put in at San Juan del Pero.
8:03
That's where the sea lakes had originally been built. But the sand bar
8:07
formations have almost ruined San Juana's a court. So we went on up to
8:09
Bluefield. Oh, yes, I understand that's now the best seaport on the
8:13
Caribbean side of Nicaragua. You know that country down there only from what I've
8:18
read. Oh, but go on please, Well, while we were there,
8:24
he had some work done on our radio equipment. We'd had trouble with
8:26
it on the way down. Ah. When the work was finished, of
8:30
course, he wanted to try it out. He found a radio amateur in
8:33
Porto Gado, so he asked me to stay on shore while he and the
8:37
skipper went out to sea. We kept in contact every few minutes while he
8:41
headed the Buldero Islands, the Boldero Islands. Isn't that why you lost to
8:46
power? Cruiser a couple of years ago. Yes, the conneo named after
8:50
me, and I begged him not to go out there again. Why missus
8:52
landcare because of the treacherous currents between the two little islands, the great deep
8:56
that lies between them, terribly dangerous, with pinnacles of rock that reach up
9:01
almost to the surface. Well, why did he go out there again to
9:03
prove a point? That's all, to prove a point. Look, I'm
9:07
afraid I don't follow you. Douguld blame the loss of the Carneo two years
9:11
before on poor seamanship by the man at the wheel. He wanted to prove
9:13
that he could take a boat through there safely. Kind Of looks like he
9:18
was wrong, doesn't it. His last words over the radio where that a
9:22
rock had torn the bottom out of the Sea Legs almost dollar before the signal
9:26
stopped. I could hear the crunching of the holl and the sound of the
9:30
waters that swept in and over. It was terrible. You sent someone out
9:33
there right away, of course, yes, but it was no use.
9:35
Sea Legs was gone and with it went my husband and the man with him,
9:43
and the uh the bodies were never born before. When we lost the
9:50
Carnio. We had time to put on life preservers launched the small boat.
9:52
I must admit I wanted how it was when the sea legs went down.
9:56
There wasn't time, and I could hear it over the radio, and it
9:58
was terrible. I'm sorry, it's all right, I'm all right, Jeff,
10:07
mister Doll. I I may have to go down there, missus land
10:11
Fair and go through the motions of an investigation, you know, but then
10:16
you your companies will pay the claims. I s see no reason now why
10:20
not terrible would have to be so frank about it. But I do need
10:26
the money, Johnny, I was telling the truth. I didn't see any
10:31
reason why the claim shouldn't be paid. Perhaps Connie Landfair's explanation of why she
10:35
wasn't grieving over the loss of her husband was true, But more than once
10:39
I wondered if she weren't far more concerned over the loss of the yacht or
10:43
about how soon she could collect on the policies. Then that deliberate slip and
10:48
starting to call me by my first name, Just what are your plans,
10:52
missus Lanfair? The plans, Johnny, I don't quite know what you mean.
10:56
Well, I suppose the companies make prompt payment on these claims. That'll
11:00
mean four hundred thousand dollars. Well, really, mister dollar, aren't you
11:03
overstepping bounds a little bit? Maybe? But if it'll make you feel any
11:07
better, or if it will help to hasten settlement, I'll tell you I'll
11:11
sell what is left of this property and leave the country for awhere, somewhere
11:15
in Europe, on the continent alone. I think you, of course,
11:20
sorry. I just wanted Doug and I were too close to even think of
11:24
my having boyfriends or whatever you want to call it. The more I think
11:28
about it, the more I resent that question. No particular implication meant,
11:31
missus mine. For the next thing, they'll start implying that the sea legs
11:35
wasn't wrecked at all, that that is still alive somewhere, And then if
11:37
you can't dig them up out of the sea, your precious companies can somehow
11:41
contrive to keep the money that is rightfully mine can get out of pay long
11:45
from what I thought was a little the more she talked, the more I
11:50
became convinced that something was very wrong about this case. I let her vent
11:56
heor fury on me. It was simulated fury, I thought. Then I
11:58
called TEXI again in elefts Oh, no, sir, mister, you're all
12:03
wrong. Them land peers. There was figures, two peas in a box.
12:05
They tell me. Did you ever notice any particular friends either of them
12:09
may have had. Well, there was always throwing them big bodies. That
12:11
what you mean, big society type brawl. No, no, I was
12:15
thinking of girl friends for him or boyfriends for her. Who knows, sir,
12:20
he was her, she was his. No playing around, not like
12:22
most people. That said, and I know, I know, everything goes
12:28
out and cut you off. Back in New York, I found that the
12:35
best immediate routing to Nicaragua was by playing to Dallas, then to Mexico City,
12:39
and finally to Monagua on the West coast. I mean a reservation on
12:41
the Dallas plane immediately that set him four, and then spend a dollar forty
12:45
that set him five on a phone called a Pat Mccrackenback in Hartford, Well,
12:48
sure, Johnny, if you think it's important enough my commission. Yeah,
12:52
I've already made my reservation for the first leg of the two. Now
12:54
don't go off aboard on the expense of co Kat, how you talking?
12:56
But you really smell a rat? A well, look to report the landfairs
13:01
were real? Buddy, Buddy, she loved him, he loved her,
13:03
Yet only a couple of weeks after his death, she's a lot more concerned
13:07
over the loss of that boat than she is over him. Oh, I
13:11
don't know what to think meantime. If you can afford it, why don't
13:13
you have somebody to keep a check on her? Well, sure, Johnny,
13:16
but with what specifically in mind? I don't know. After all,
13:22
I didn't have any real concrete reason for feeling that this case was fishy.
13:26
It was more a hunch than anything else, but a real strong one,
13:31
and I felt that after my visit to her, Connie Landfair would do something
13:35
just what I hadn't the least idea, But whatever it was, I wanted
13:39
to know about it. It was a couple of hours later that I started
13:41
to pick up the telephone to order a cab to the airport. Johnny Dollar,
13:46
this is bad again, Johnny. Oh high, I ordered a man
13:48
to keep tabs on Connie Landfair. Good. You're all friend to Jackie Brandy
13:52
Singer. Fine? You know what she seems to have left town in a
13:56
hurry, no trace. Uh oh, you're still going to Yeah, but
14:01
keep looking for right expense account. Adam six four to seventy five taxi and
14:07
tip to LaGuardia Feel where my taken a seat reservation were waiting for me.
14:13
Within a few minutes, I was comfortably ensconced in my seat by the window.
14:16
The passenger door was closed, and the big planes' engines were warming up
14:20
at the trip to Dallas, And suddenly the cabin door opened again. A
14:24
feminine figure skip lightly in and plunk herself down on the seat next to mine.
14:31
Well, how nice missus went. Surprise Johnny, now here's our star
14:52
to tell you about tomorrow's episode of this week's story. Tomorrow of the seeds
14:56
of suspicion really begin to sprout with the help one of the wildest characters I
15:01
ever met? Join us, Won't you Yours Truly? Johnny Daller? Yours

Truly Johnny Dollar, starring Bob Bailey, is transcribed in Hollywood. It is
15:16
produced and directed by Jack Johnstone, who also wrote this week's story. Be
15:22
sure to join us tomorrow night, same time and station for the next exciting
15:26
episode of Yours Truly. Johnny Dollar Roy Rowan speaking from Hollywood. It's time
16:33
now for Johnny Dellar. You called hard Hello, McCracken, what you get
16:44
me out of bed for this time? I'm calling from the airport in Dallas.
16:47
I mean you're going on in Nicaragua. Yep, all right, and
16:49
I know why you're calling you answers. No, we still haven't found any
16:52
trace of Constance Landfair. So why don't you come on back here and start
16:55
from scratch, because I have found some trace of County Landfair. It sure
17:00
is, brother. What's that supposed to me? Pat? She just happened
17:04
to occupy a seat aboard the plane right next to mine. Well, Johnny,
17:07
why don't you work on the facts of the case where it change instead
17:10
of on the woman involved? Patrick Ever hear of killing two birds with one
17:14
stone tonight and every weekday night Bob Bailey in the Transcribed Adventures of the Man
17:26
with the Action Pact Expense account America's Fabulous pre Lance Insurance Investigator, Yours Truly,
17:32
Johnny Dollar, from Special Investigator Johnny Dollar, location Bluefields, Nicaragua to
17:51
the Universal Adjustment Bureau, Hertford, Connecticut. Following is an accounting of expenses
17:56
incurred during my investigation of the Sea Legs matter expense account item A five twenty
18:04
five late supper at the Dallas Airport for Connie and myself during the wait for
18:08
our midnight plane to Mexico City, which we finally bought in and which finally
18:12
took off. And on this trip I learned no more, no less from
18:15
Connie than I had on the flight from New York to Dallas. For instance,
18:19
Doug and I were so close in everything, same friends, the same
18:23
interest. That's why we always took the law on the audience trips together,
18:27
did everything together. As a matter of fact, I felt that her somewhat
18:32
overdone assurances of how much she loved her and late husband could have been to
18:34
throw off any suspicion I might have that she'd done him in another for instance,
18:38
I still can't get over the coincidence about both deciding to go in Nicarague
18:42
at the same time. But believe me, Johnny, mister Gunner, I'm
18:47
just as anxious to clear up this whole thing as you are. The more
18:49
I thought about it, the more certain I was that it was not just
18:52
coincidence that had put her on the same plane with me, And the more
18:56
Leary, I felt I know the country so well too. I think I
19:00
told you the Sea Legs was built in a small shipyard in San Maun del
19:03
Pado, at south of the Fields. Yeah, that's at the lower end
19:07
of the East coast, isn't it. You do know something about Nicaragua,
19:11
din't. Oh, well, only what I've seen on the maps. Oh,
19:15
let's see, we can get a plane from Anagua to the east coast.
19:18
Oh. Yes, Nicaragua boast two or three commercial airlines. I'm sure
19:22
at least one of them makes a direct flight to Bluefields. That's where we
19:26
put in with the Sea Legs. You know, before before shoots, before
19:30
the beautiful thing went down between those awful Buldero Islands and took your husband with
19:36
her. Oh yes, poor dug. There it was again more apparent concern
19:45
over the loss of the Sea Legs than over the husband she claimed to have
19:48
loved so much, And still no explanation of why she decided to go back
19:52
to Nicaragua. Her decision must have been sudden too. Right after I'd seen
19:57
her at a home on Long Island from Mexico City, we took a deluxe
20:04
four engine playing to Monogua, but the last leg of the City of Bluefields
20:07
was in a two engine something that looked like war surplus, tied together with
20:11
baling wire. At midnight, we signed into the Providencia Hotel and after a
20:17
hearty meal, retired to our respective rooms to make up for law sleep.
20:19
I had not planned to wake up at six am, but fate decreed otherwise.
20:26
Hu Ah, you're feeling that. Yeah, sure, just a minute,
20:33
I'll get up and open the door. No, no, no,
20:34
no, do not disturb yourself here, sir. There you see there was
20:41
no need to disturb yoursel. Well just a minute. Who are you,
20:45
Uster Patrick, Vladimi Gtto at your service, Oscar Patrick. Hey you,
20:51
my dear mister Dolan. They just called me Oscar. Now that we are
20:53
working together, working together, whatever and no matter what your needs, I
20:59
am Oscar Patrick vladimieper scattl will provide them for you. For a smaller financial
21:03
pitter himself course, let me straighten your pillow. Wait a minute, where
21:11
did you get the key you just used to open this door? Ah,
21:15
As you can see, mister Dollard, I am prepared for everything. That
21:18
is why I can be of such unestimable service too. Oh no, the
21:22
devil is practice I ordered for you, of course. Ah here, my
21:26
goodness, I will think you like collective pips other times get lost. This
21:36
is a gag, is some kind of How can you say it's not a
21:38
thing after I just saved you paying that menial? Serve a big tip?
21:42
Here now tomato juice, orange juice cream, chippyp on throws eggs lamb chops,
21:48
graveling, little sausage, your toast, tony jam and cost. You
21:52
expect me to eat all of that? If I am to be of help
21:56
to you in this important campaign, I must keep my strength up. Oh
22:00
I beg your pardon, and at my expense, of course, of course,
22:03
after all, nowhere else in Central America can you get such valuable help
22:07
as I can give you. Yeah, well, just what gives you the
22:10
idea I may need your help? A good question? Oh here, let
22:14
me prop you up on your pillow so that you can enjoy it to still
22:18
ask? There you are, Oh, it doesn't look so good this morning,
22:22
So I shall take that and business while you enjoy your breakfast. Won't
22:30
wait for me? Mister? Look so again? With how did you know
22:33
my name? Easy? You signed the hotel register. Okay, But then
22:38
how did you know? Who has not heard that the famous free lancing insurant
22:42
teams together. It's such a lovely big fat expense account lucking. So that's
22:48
what appeels in, of course. And who am I, Oscar Patrick?
22:53
Exactly? Who am I thought I shouldn't learn a couple of tricks or two
22:56
from such a great man? Oh? Brother, seems to me you learn
23:00
plenty already, thank you, And that is why I should be at such
23:03
magnitudinous assistance to you in the sea ings matter for a pitance, you understand
23:07
me, say one hundred dollars a day? How about ten seventy fifteen twenty
23:17
a day? And not one pen anymore? Sorry ask her? But you
23:21
are not higher, mister Dollar. You bleed me to the quick? How
23:25
else could you solve this case without me? Do you really know something about
23:29
the sea legs? And how did you know I came here to investigate it?
23:33
In the second place? What else would such a distinguished instigator to be
23:36
doing than the case of the American boat lost in the book Dollar Islands?
23:40
Especially coming here? But this is lanth here and in the first place,
23:42
because I know all about it, all right? All right, ask you
23:45
tell me this. Do you think there's anything funny about the loss of the
23:49
Sea Leggs? I am sure of it was a crime of the first and
23:52
second. Why because you are here you can do better than that, all
23:57
right, because I am always sure there is something crooked going on until the
24:02
guilty ones are approved otherwise, or until the innocent bums are approved whatever is
24:06
left which decides the point? Because I will shure of it in the first
24:07
place. Yeah, anyhow, the first thing for you to do is make
24:11
it trip to Port the God, the last point of contact with the Sea
24:15
Legs before she was wrecked. Exactly. I have a plane ready and waiting
24:18
for your own personal use applying. Yeah. Else one hundred and fifty miles
24:22
by oxcar or both. Well, no, no, no, First,
24:26
however, I like to contact the authorities here in blue Field. What do
24:30
the authority is not about crime? Me? I know all about it.
24:33
Yeah, I'm beginning to think you do ask you too much? Probably,
24:36
thank you, mister. I respect your high opinion on myself. All right.
24:40
I don't know yet what your recked is, man, that I can
24:44
make plain to you in two words morning. Okay, Look, if you
24:48
can't get me a small plane? Yes? Good? Is the address to
24:51
give to the taxi driver when you are ready to go to the airfield that
24:53
I actually be waiting for you. Oh not the big airport. No,
24:56
no, no, no, that is where the lady, missus Lancair.
25:00
I would expect you to look for transportation, asking you one of the craziest
25:03
I knew you wouldn't want her coming along, And if she ever gets in
25:07
your way during your camera, you will keep her out of my wine?
25:10
Yes, at my expense. What else I'll tell you something? Asking if
25:15
there is a wrong angle to this case. I can't help wondering if she
25:18
isn't a part of it. You read my mind, you see, I
25:21
like brothers under the team. You say you have a plane all ready to
25:23
go, then we can be on our way before missus Lampey knows we've left.
25:29
Hey, you want to set the trailer there so I can get up?
25:30
Oh? Yes, of course, I'll set it right over here.
25:33
Anti. Hey, wait a minute, what are you going through my pockets
25:38
for just accepting a small tip for bringing up your breakfast? Thank you?
25:49
If only half of what Oscar said was true, it was conceivable that he
25:52
could be of helpful. I check with the hotel manager in the local police.
25:56
They knew Oscar well and told me that he pretty much lived on the
26:00
occasional American tourist who showed up. Then he acted his guide show for pilot,
26:03
anything for a price that they could be trusted implicitly by whoever happened to
26:08
be paying him at the moment, and which was important to me. He
26:11
knew the country and his people inside out, was a fun of information about
26:15
anything and anybody. So I decided to let him tag along for a while.
26:21
The Federal Maritime h well, the equivalent of our Coastguard, had headquarters
26:26
in the harbor area, and I found a captain narrow spoke fair English.
26:30
I'm sorry, said your dollar, but you know as much as we do.
26:33
We sent the boat of quarter, but we find no sign of the
26:36
sea legs or the poor people who go down with nothing. Yeah. Well,
26:41
I'm thinking of going up to Port of Guardo, where she took off
26:44
on her last trip. You the excellent idea. From there, you can
26:47
fly out of the Boldaro Islands where the Kedta cord and that's what I was
26:51
thinking. But in addition to an airplane, you must also need a pilot
26:56
and a guide. You have someone to suggest, I see there is but
27:00
one. Send you an Oscar, Patrick Vladerasque precisely, I am nine twenty
27:08
cents American for a three mile ride and an all model t Ford to the
27:11
little private airstrip where, true to his word, Oscar and rented an almost
27:15
brand new two plays playing for us. You had it warmed up and ready
27:18
to go, so fasten your beltit you dollar relaxed and enjoy it and he'll
27:26
take off. You sure you can fly this thing? Asker ha, I
27:30
am the finest part of the nigga, maybe in the whole world. I'm
27:33
even a compil Just how much is the useless plane Costingly? You ask her
27:38
for me a special right, so don't worry about it. Here we go
27:41
into the how much will we use your prices? Thirty nine dollars a day
27:45
American? But me I always have a deal, and that's on account of
27:48
I give to feel so much business. So now that is ask her how
27:53
much forty five dollars a day? Do you see what the beautiful view we
27:57
have? Forty five the pay and the Caribbean on one side, and the
28:02
flat empty margin and planes on the way. Thirty five dollars a day is
28:07
a regular rade. What's so special about forty five for may? Oh?
28:10
No, mister dollar, for me? Surely you wouldn't expect the finest pilot
28:15
in the whole entire world to work finating? Are you? Okay? Okay?
28:19
But Bob took this along getting to the airfield, mister Dollar a couple
28:23
of calls. I wanted to make us all, Why why you have disappointed
28:26
me? And all the time I thought you had the uppermost confident me.
28:30
Now what's that supposed to me? First you tell me you do not want
28:33
the lady to know you're awakened up and going missus lamp Fair? Yes,
28:37
And then what happens? You tell her all about it? What makes you
28:41
think that? Why else did she come tearing out to the airfield while I
28:45
was waiting for you in a minute, ran herself a plane and take cause
28:48
in it? What she took off just a couple of minutes before? Read
28:52
it, honey Lampsfair shattering a plane? Why and it goes where? And
29:00
after her offer to stick by me and help me, why would she do
29:03
it without letting me know? There are a lot of questions to be answered
29:07
in this case, and most of them to be answered by Connie Landfair.
29:25
Now here's our star to tell you about tomorrow's episode of this week's story.
29:29
Tomorrow see the Rocks and dear Old Mother Nature bring some pretty startling facts to
29:33
light, and the case takes a sudden twist. Join us, won't you?
29:38
Yours Truly? Johnny Dollar? Yours Truly Johnny Dollar is starring Bailey,
30:00
is transcribed in Hollywood. It is produced and directed by Jack Johnstone, who
30:04
also wrote this week's story. Be sure to join us tomorrow night, same
30:08
time and station for the next exciting episode of Yours Truly Johnny Dollar. Roy
30:15
Rowan speaking welcome back, Well noticed, Harry Cracking Harry Bartelski's me taking over
31:18
as Pat McCracken. Also, if you are a fan of The Man Called
31:26
X, you may find this character somewhat uh somewhat familiar. He definitely has
31:34
a lot of similarity to Pegan Welschmidt in terms of overall attitude and modus operanda,
31:44
and that's probably no coincidence since Jack Johnstone was a director on The Man
31:51
Called X on CBS. Now we turned to an email I received from a
31:56
listener Mark, who says the but he had an idea for a friend on
32:04
their birthday, and I want to see what I can find for old time
32:08
radio shows that played on the day of her birth. And then he asked
32:14
me to identify where he could find programs or a listing of programs that aired
32:21
on a particular day. And if you do want to find that out,
32:24
say you want to find out what radio programs are out there that played on
32:30
the day you were born. The website I would recommend you going to is
32:34
what I've referred to before. It's Radio goldindex dot com. And after you
32:39
click the start there there is an option in red to search by date,
32:45
and they have years from nineteen twenty two to two thousand and fourteen. Once
32:52
you get past the early part of the nineteen fifties, there are less transcriptions
33:00
available just because there were less programs being made. But nonetheless, that is
33:08
where I would recommend people to go is radio gooldindex dot com. He goes
33:15
on to say, I love to hear the backgrounds you give and know you
33:21
will know where to direct me to find the information. Many thanks for your
33:25
help and for your great radio presentations on the great Detectors of Old Time Radio.
33:30
