  Speaker 4: Well, these things mister Cranston's been saying I've never heard

  Speaker 4: is uttering the words of someone else, someone else. A
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: will stronger than his own dominates him, dictator every word
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: and action.

  Speaker 3: You mean a form of hypnosis?

  Speaker 3: Uh frequently, miss Lane.
• 12:37

  Speaker 7: You can think clearly enough, but can't express yourself.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 14:23
  Speaker 7: I shall lessen the pressure a bit for the moment,
• 14:25
  Speaker 7: so that you and I can have a little Tata tete.
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: You may talk, Cranston, You may talk, you murderer. You
• 14:37
  Speaker 7: feed rather a spectacular beginning for the Tata tat and.
• 14:42
  Speaker 11: Maybe a spectacular endo. It to doctor Kalma. There's a
• 14:46
  Speaker 11: limit to your control.
• 14:47
  Speaker 7: The facts dispute you. Mister Cranston. You are helpless. You
• 14:51
  Speaker 7: can speak no louder, no longer than I choose to permit.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: You're grown rich by murdering fraud. But in some way.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: I'm going to put an end to.
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: You, and come now, Crimston, your slide recipite is over.
• 15:06
  Speaker 7: I returned you to the condition that baffles science and
• 15:09
  Speaker 7: destroys you.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: My will is your will, my orders your command. Obey,
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: obey all right? Will you will.
• 15:35
  Speaker 7: Precisely now, Cranston, I leave you to your doom. You
• 15:42
  Speaker 7: shall be dead by morning.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Before our second act begins. Let me ask you a question.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Have you ever talked to an older person who said, well,
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: of course, things were a lot easier for you people
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: now than they were in my day. I guess you
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: can't blame older folks for being just a bit envious,
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: For we have so many new, improved products which make
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: present day living easier.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: The list is practically endless. Just for example, take blue coal.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Now, thousands of you homeowners will agree with me that
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: blue coal has certainly simplified living. Its use has brought
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: home heating comfort that wouldn't have been thought possible a
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: generation or so ago. For blue coal burns so much better,
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: require so little furnace attention, and it gives you safer,
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: more dependable heating service and satisfaction. You see, blue coal
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: is a guaranteed product of the glen Alden Coal Company,
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: the nation's largest hard coal producers. All their superior resources, equipment,
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: and care in mining and preparation combine to make blue
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: coal the finest hard coal money and buy. That's why
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: it will pay you to make your next fuel order
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: a supply of blue coal. See what a tremendous difference
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: it makes compared to ordinary at for site. Then you'll
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: join the thousands of regular blue coal users who say
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: there's no substitute for a blue coal for perfect heat
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: with less furnace attention. Call your dealer tomorrow. His name
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: is listed in the flatified section of your classified telephone
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: directory under the words blue coal.
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: Is mister Creston any better?
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: Doctor Anthony, Sorry, Miss Lynne, No improvable. This is terrible.
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: It's horrible. Even doctor Dahma couldn't help.
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: No, he said, the patient refused to co operate. Under
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: the circumstances, help was impossible.
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: I'm afraid, mister Creston, I saith and doctor Dharma. If
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: there was some way I could, Doctor Anthony, you have
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: a copy of doctor Domer's book. Yes, you might do it.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: If we show mister Cranston the book, he might realize
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: how important doctor Domiy is.
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: Well, we can try it. Nurse, go across to my office.
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: You'll find doctor Darmer's book on my desk.
• 18:11
  Speaker 14: Bring it here, Doctor Anthony the phone ninety Hello, Yes,
• 18:19

• 18:23
  Speaker 14: you well, I see all right, have him come up.

• 18:30
  Speaker 4: What is the doctor.
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: The driver of the car that killed the girl goes
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: on trial tomorrow. His lawyers downstairs in the reception room.
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: He thinks, mister Cranston save the boy.
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: Perhaps the pride of the boy might stimulate mister Creston's interest.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: Why, yes, there is that possibility.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: Here's the book, doctor, let me have it here. Look, Lamont,
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: this is doctor Darmou's book. You see his name on
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: the cover. He's a tremendously important man, Lamont. You must
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: let him.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: Help you, Miss Laine. We've struck something.
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: He's coming through the pages. I think we've roused his
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: interest in.
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: Oh, that's the lawyer he was putting off. Doctor this nurse,
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: tell that, gentlemen, we can't see him just yet.
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: Look, doctor, he's actually reading the book.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: This is the first break of the Oh, I hope,
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: so said. Yes, that's why that lawyer was mister Cranston.
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: To establish how far the automobile was from the girl
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: when she stepped off a curve, he brought us in
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: large photographs of the scene of the accident in the
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: hope that mister Cranston could mark the spot on the picture.
• 19:28
  Speaker 15: Well, I'm afraid that doctor. Look, mister Cranston's reaching out
• 19:33
  Speaker 15: the photograph. I believe do you think he recognized him? Apparently?
• 19:37
  Speaker 15: Nurse let me have that photo. Here's his learned Here,
• 19:41
  Speaker 15: Lamont show us where the automobile was when the girl
• 19:45
  Speaker 15: stepped off the current.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: Why he's drawing his finger over the picture.
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: No, no, Lamant, not there the place where the car is.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: Ah, he's indicating a spot on the sidewalk. You see,
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: it's useless. His brain is unfunctioning.
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: Why look, look, miss Lane, he's he's pointing from Dahma's
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: name on the book cover to this spot on the photograph.
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: But I see it now, he's placing Dahmer at the
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: scene of the accident. Oh, doctor, don't you understand Lamart
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: has met that man before. That's why he was so
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: agitated when Dama came in.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: Here, I believe you're right, miss Slave.
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: That's why he keeps repeating the words we will meet again.
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: Do you think Dama might be the influence that dominates
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: mister krast I don't know, doctor, Look, miss Lane, he's
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: pointing to a passage in Dahma's book.
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: Now, what is it, Lamar, should the controlling mind lose
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: poised for even an instant? In that moment the spell
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: is broken and the will of the subject released. He
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: is the controlling mind, loser's toil.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: Winda. And now he's trying to tell something by the
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: association of.
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: Ideas significant and the window here, I got it, doctor.
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: Do you remember when you ask Doma to close that window?
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: He lost his poise. He never went near it, He
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: didn't dare look out of this twenty six floor windows.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: Of course I thought his conduct strange at the time.
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: Dama is a victim of a phobia, the fear of
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: high places. That is what mister Creston is trying.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: To worry shell meet again.
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: We've got to get Dama back up here. We've got
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: to make him lose his self control up only for
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: an instant. It's the only way to break Downa's influence.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: But will he come, he's washed his hands of the case.
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: I think I know a way to get him here.
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: Get the chairs out there on the terrace now, Doctor Anthony,
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: I think we'd better move it to Cranston's bed a
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: little closer to the edge.
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: Yes, hurry, miss Lene. Dama's already on his way out
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: where he was the chair right over there, close to
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: How did you manage to get Dama to come up here?
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: I simply phone and told mister Creston was getting well.
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: He nearly dropped the phone he was so nervously.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: That must be done.
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: Now. Look, I'll go through the next room and leave
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: you and mister Cranston alonely Nurse, you show doctor Dahma
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: in and you can go.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: Good luck, Miss Lyne. I certainly hope this guy.
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: I hope so doctor hurry, hurry, I'm not watch him,
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: watch Dama every second. This is our only chance to
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: beat him, Doctor Dama. I'm glad to see you.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: How do you do to him? Glad? Isn't this rather
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: than having mister Cranston out here? It's it's quite windy
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: at this.
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: Mister Cranston requested it, requested it?
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: Mister Cranston did, Yes.
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: Won't you say down, doctor, here's a chair right over here.
• 22:49
  Speaker 7: Yes, I'm prod me, miss Lyne, but but I'm pressed
• 22:52
  Speaker 7: for time.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: Must examine mister Crampton alone. Do you man not at all? Doctor?
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: I'll lead Oh, Miss Layne, look out tower.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: You nearly sail over the end?
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: Did I frighten you?
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: Doctor?
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: Come away from Sorry, I'll leave you now, Yes.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: I, miss Lane. Look mister Cranston's gune. What was that?
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Should the controlling mind lose poise for even an instant?
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Thanks for the tip, doctor. Miss Lane's fate stumbled at
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: the trick.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: You lost poise? Who are you?
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Your liberated subject? Among Prinston?
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: I can't see you.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Right, write doctor?
• 23:32
  Speaker 7: Nobody ever sees the shadow the shadow you. Yes, doctor,
• 23:39
  Speaker 7: I've heard of you, the invisible, But this can't be
• 23:46
  Speaker 7: You accomplish this through hypnotism.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Correct, doctor, we're masters of the same art, we apply
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: it quite differently.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: You have hypnotized me.
• 24:01
  Speaker 7: All my life. I've looked forward to an encounter with
• 24:04
  Speaker 7: a shadow. I felt it would be the ultimate test
• 24:08
  Speaker 7: of my hypnotic powers. Well, here we are, doctor, quite so,
• 24:14
  Speaker 7: and you shall see who is master. What do you
• 24:17
  Speaker 7: mean I lost control over your will? But only for
• 24:20
  Speaker 7: the moment. You're a fool if you think you can
• 24:23
  Speaker 7: best me. I have just to touch you, and you
• 24:26
  Speaker 7: will again be helpless. If you can't touch me, You've
• 24:30
  Speaker 7: made one mistake, a fatal one mistake. Your selection of
• 24:35
  Speaker 7: an arena was thoughtless. This terrace is small. You'll have
• 24:39
  Speaker 7: to pass me to get away, Dama.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: This may mean your doomb I.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: Know where you are. Now there, I'll.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Oh, you've lost the first move. You can't touch me, Dama.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: It's useless to try. Your wisest course is to s
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: render and settle with the law.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: Never ha, you moved that chair. You're in the corner
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: near the wicker fence. Now we'll see where you can
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: get back from the age.
• 25:19
  Speaker 11: Right, Yes, Margot, it was Dharma costas balance about twenty
• 25:25
  Speaker 11: six stories.
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: Well, thank god, you would say, oh, it was so cast.
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: Are you lying there aware of everything? Not able to
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: express your thoughts?
• 25:34
  Speaker 11: You expressed them very well for me, Margot. If it
• 25:37
  Speaker 11: were not for you, this would be my hour of
• 25:40
  Speaker 11: doom instead of dams. He had an amazing mind, Margo,
• 25:45
  Speaker 11: but like so many brilliant minds, it was bent in
• 25:50
  Speaker 11: the wrong direction. Men like Dharma would be a boon
• 25:54
  Speaker 11: to mankind. Did they use their talents constructively.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: We'll introduce our special guest in just a moment, but
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: first let's hear from Blue Coal's heating experts, John Barclay.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Ken Roberts, and good afternoon friends.
• 26:22
  Speaker 10: Many homeowners are under the impression that all they need
• 26:25
  Speaker 10: do to put coal on the furnished fire is thrown
• 26:28
  Speaker 10: on a few shovels full. I can assure you that
• 26:32
  Speaker 10: that's neither the most practical nor the most economical way
• 26:35
  Speaker 10: to get satisfactory heating results. First, the grates should be
• 26:39
  Speaker 10: shaken gently until you see the first red glow in
• 26:43
  Speaker 10: the ash pit.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: Be sure not to.
• 26:45
  Speaker 10: Shake red, hot or unburned coal through into the ashpits,
• 26:50
  Speaker 10: but then you'll simply be wasting coals. Next, pull a
• 26:54
  Speaker 10: mound of live coals to the front of the firebox
• 26:57
  Speaker 10: just inside the fire door with a shovel or hole.
• 27:01
  Speaker 10: Now you have a fire bed sloping down toward the
• 27:04
  Speaker 10: back of the furnace. Put fresh coal into the hollow
• 27:07
  Speaker 10: form by this slope, being sure to leave a few
• 27:10
  Speaker 10: burning coals near the door. These live coals will act
• 27:14
  Speaker 10: as a pilot light which will burn off the gases
• 27:17
  Speaker 10: which rise from the fresh cold contact with the burning coal.
• 27:22
  Speaker 10: Try this method of putting coal on the fire and
• 27:24
  Speaker 10: see if it doesn't give you far more satisfactory heating results.
• 27:28
  Speaker 10: And remember, if at any time you have difficulty with
• 27:32
  Speaker 10: your heating plant, get in touch with your nearest blue
• 27:35
  Speaker 10: coal dealer heal gladly send a John Barkley serviceman to
• 27:40
  Speaker 10: show you how to fix up the trouble. John Barkley
• 27:43
  Speaker 10: service is absolutely free, so call your Blue Coal dealer.
• 27:48
  Speaker 10: I thank you, and now I have the privilege of
• 28:02
  Speaker 10: presenting Doctor Lorne W. Barclay, National Director of Capping Activities
• 28:07
  Speaker 10: of the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: By the way, you are not related to John Barclay,
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: our heating expert for any chance, are you not? That
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: I know of?
• 28:16
  Speaker 10: But I have heard his heating advice on this program
• 28:19
  Speaker 10: and found it very useful. Good Doctor Barclay.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: The producers of Blue Coal have asked me to congratulate
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: your great organization, the Boy Scouts of America, on the
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: twenty ninth anniversary of its founding. Through the years, the

  Speaker 2: American ideals, and for that we salute you. Thank you,

  Speaker 2: mister Roberts, and may I say that we are grateful
• 28:44

• 28:48
  Speaker 2: making a valuable contribution to Americans young and old by
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: showing them that crime in any form does not pay.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: We appreciate having had you with us this afternoon, doctor Barclay,
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: and we sincerely hope you will visit us again. Today's
• 29:13
