1:41
not Tuba? That is the question? The Adventures of the Saint starring Vincent
2:07
Price. The Saint based on characters created by Leslie Trottering and known to millions
2:23
from books, magazines, and motion pictures. The robin Hood of modern crime
2:27
now comes transcribe to radio, starring Hollywood's brilliant and talented actor Vincent Price as
2:35
the Saint My mister Templar, Theodore, excuse me when I drag her in?
2:46
Huh drag her? Oh yeah, she is in good She is a
2:53
very nice tuba. Mister Templar. Perhaps I will take her out of the
2:58
case now. And Theodore, if you lift that confounded thing to your lips,
3:01
you're a dead man. You do not have to get violot, mister
3:05
Temple. I don't, Theodore. You forget that on one occasion you trapped
3:08
me. I have heard you play that thing well. I have never before
3:14
nor since wanted to be deaf. Well, mister Temple, I have been
3:15
practicing since. You're trying to tell me you now play better, well louder.
3:22
Goodbye, Theodore. I have got a problem. I don't doubt it,
3:24
but not what you think. It ain't the neighbors, Oh they've all
3:28
moved out. Huh. The landlord nail my windows died. He is the
3:30
man of genius. My problem is something else. It would help a sleep
3:34
away from that tuber. Well, I only want to I've never strangled anyone
3:38
yet, but there can always be a first time. Okay, I won't
3:42
demonstrate, but you heard me play five years of my life went down the
3:46
drain on that unhappy day. What did I play for you? It had
3:49
a title? Well, I guess it don't really matter on account of I
3:53
only know one piece. So well, anyways, that's what I played for
3:55
mister Stanley immediately, and no doubt happily needed to return to Africa yodeling for
4:01
Livingston. No, mister Stanley is hard appearing. No, he's a mania.
4:08
Nah, he hates music. Nah. He is the guy who owns
4:11
a Stanley Casino which is kind of upstate and is a very swanky roadhouse type
4:15
roadhouse. Oh, you had him tied to a chair, mister templar.
4:17
He asked me to play. He called me up and asked me to come
4:20
over and play. And and after he heard me play, he hired me,
4:25
oh to do what sweep the roadhouse to play the tuba in his band.
4:30
You know, it doesn't happen very often, but tonight it happened.
4:32
Words have failed me. Not only has mister Stanley hired me, but he
4:35
is gonna pay me one hundred bucks a week? And ohough is he gonna
4:39
pay me one hundred bucks a week? He also handed over one hundred bucks
4:42
in advance in cash Theodo. I suppose I should congratulate you my thanks,
4:47
But what's your problem, mister Templar. I love to play the tuba,
4:51
but I don't play it good. I know that you're an honest man,
4:55
theaterre even I sometimes can't stand the sounds I make, mister Templan. Nobody
5:00
would pay me go to play if it was legitimate. You may be right,
5:02
Theodore. So what should I do? I still got the whole hundred
5:05
bucks? Should I give it back to mister Stanley? What kind of a
5:09
man is he? Anyway? By reputation? From what I have heard around,
5:12
he is a very big operator type, and I do not think he
5:14
has had a reputation ever since he was expelled from reform school. Oh why
5:17
was he expelled? Ooh? He lowered the tone of the place, the
5:21
Theodore? When do you start working for him? I make my debut tonight,
5:26
the bat, I think. So what I'm asking you, mister Temple
5:29
is would you please be there when I debut? That means there will be
5:31
at least one friend of mine in the audience, and I gotta feeling I
5:34
am going to need a friend. You may be right, Theodore, but
5:38
if the roadhouse is the kind of place most roadhouses are, the patrons will
5:42
be thinking of other things than music anyway. Yeah, but suppose they think
5:46
a murder, mister Templar, Yes, the ray it ain't none of them
6:00
my business. Will that stop you? No? I didn't think it would.
6:02
One of these days I'm going to hate somebody else's calves and then what
6:06
happens to my wife and my sixth No, don't, don't, don't say
6:10
it. I haven't got a wife of six kids. You never will have
6:13
if you don't keep your eye on the road up here in the country,
6:15
What could I run into a tree through? Yeah, but mister temple Is
6:19
started to ask you something. You're going to the Stanley Casina. The Stanley
6:25
Casina is in the country, west Chester, Lewis, you're the same thing.
6:29
Also, the Stanley Casina is a very romantic place, fellas take the
6:31
girls there. Now, you're not equipped with a girl. Therefore, why
6:36
am I going there to listen to a friend of mine play the tuba.
6:42
Well, one thing you can say for that, it's different. It's also
6:46
true. Yeah, mister Temple, I'm not saying I can understand why a
6:48
guy would want to play a tuba in the first place. But maybe he's
6:51
got a reason. But for somebody to voluntarily listen to him, then there's
6:56
no excuse. I'm fine to Theodore Louis. I have a feeling he may
7:00
be in trouble or that I can understand. You see, he must have
7:02
been hired for a reason. It has nothing to do with his tuba play.
7:06
Now what it is, I can't imagine. Maybe you should have stopped
7:10
him. I couldn't Louis with the job, and I don't know. Maybe
7:13
I should have maybe not. I feel a little like Hamlet. Oh this
7:17
I gotta feeling I'm gonna regret. What do you mean? You feel like
7:20
Hamlet? And he couldn't decide either, of course, you remember his famous
7:24
piloquy. I think that children should want to be sent to bed right now,
7:27
the one that begins tuba or not to That is the question. Oh,
7:43
it's a nice joint, mister Templar. So it is nice. If
7:46
you'd ask me into dinner, then you afford it at the prices are a
7:49
little high. My mistake. Could have bought a colt perhaps, but it
7:53
wouldn't have bought a floor show, and judging from the daycor the floor will
7:58
shortly have plenty to show. I wouldn't be surprised. Embarrassed maybe, but
8:01
surprised now. I look, the band is climbing into the bandstand. Yeah,
8:05
I know it's only trouble. Oh I don't see no tulboo, no
8:09
theater or either. Maybe he got fired before he even started to play No
8:16
Louis and finished my dinner. Don't have to suggest it for a while yet.
8:18
So if you want to go play a visitor or something, I very
8:20
definitely do come along. Okay, only will we got the the door at
8:26
the left of the bandstand, Several people have used it. We might try
8:30
would be maybe an exit, and then the headwaiter will stop it. Yeah,
8:33
and he ain't so so well tried me very nice hallway got walls on
8:41
both sides. Not to mention the roof might coming through the transom of that
8:46
door. Up ahead, mister Temple. We're looking for Theodore. We're looking
8:50
at the moment for anyone we can find there too much noise coming out of
8:54
that room. This might be Stanley's offer from Good Evening Stanley. No,
9:07
yes, gentlemen, yeah, well, of course I'm always delighted to see
9:11
guests in person, but I'm sure my headweight will do anything to satisfy you.
9:15
Tell me, does he employ the musicians for your orchestra? Are you
9:18
musicians or not? Exactly? We're interested in one of your musicians, So
9:24
which one theadore? Theodore Coogan Cougan. Well, I'm sorry, but the
9:28
name isn't familiar. On of course, I know all the boys in the
9:31
band. Of course, what does he play? He he insult the tuba
9:37
tuba? Well I'm sorry, but we don't have a tuba in my band.
9:41
What made you think your friend Theodore might be playing for me? Well,
9:46
I'm afraid it was an incorrect How I will. Your friend's a good
9:48
man, you know the novel they might be worth something. Send him along
9:54
to me and I'll I'll see that would be very nice? Have you only
9:58
thinking you can see? Well that's all and now, uh, why don't
10:01
you gentlemen run along and enjoy the floor show? Oh? Thank you,
10:05
thank you, That's exactly what we'll douse, my apologies for having intruded.
10:07
Not at all, not at all. It's a pleasure to meet you.
10:09
Good night, good night, cool, real courtly type. Huhm, very
10:18
come along then, Yeah, this ain't the way back to the floor.
10:20
I know I didn't. We're not returning there. Why not? We don't
10:24
approve the floor shows, and it's not that back to the building would be
10:26
around this abandoned Can I know way we better go back there? Uh,
10:35
mister Temple, I could lunch you a few bucks if you're short and you're
10:39
trying to dump the dinner build you know, I mean looking, But it
10:41
didn't money. I'm worrying about it at the moment. And these leads ran
10:46
back to the casino floor, which is bad. Therefore we're left to h
10:52
yeah, that's staircase. We go up and pre okay, course we don't
10:56
know what's upstairs, but at least we may not be expected there. Is
11:00
that good better than what's likely to happen anything. What makes you think something's
11:03
liable to happen downstairs? Instant I mentioned Theodore to Danley, he casually pressed
11:09
a button at the side of his desk, a button which I suspect is
11:11
he's equivalent for a danger signal danger to who I'm afraid louis to us.
11:16
Oh, I mean he's the landing and yah another hallway. Yeah, I
11:22
would have to try. There's nothing doing on this side. Oh go locked?
11:30
Yea. So far all this upstairs consists of us a lot of doors
11:33
which are love the rooms. They're probably used for storage. Then they will
11:37
realized shorty that we didn't return to the floor. So the back door was
11:41
guarded, so he'll know we didn't leave through it, which means, uh,
11:43
he'll come up and see you sometimes, and there's sometimes there's gonna be
11:46
no. It is cause I don't know whether Stanley intends anything too drastic.
11:52
We hadn't seen Theodore it. Supposing we had. When I try this time,
11:58
one's open. Go quite as sweet, better than use some sweet air
12:07
and the sweet. Check the door. Okay, there are bolt on the
12:11
door. I slided you guided. You know it ain't very strong. Window
12:18
over on this side. Hey, it's a room with a view. Yeah,
12:24
well we've got the view of the parking lot. Directly below the window
12:28
is an extension of the building proper, the temple. This is the time
12:31
to get architecture, the windows out, Louis. The roof of the extension
12:41
is only a few feet below, so it's outside. It's a solid roof.
12:48
Mister Temple could move over, so we're out on the roof. So
12:54
wait a minute, Louis. Someone down there in the parking lot. Oh
12:58
yeah, And even from here I can see he's carrying something besides small change
13:03
in his right hand coat pocket, armed an unquestionably forewarned room service backer.
13:07
They almost getting the fatient from a short dropped to the ground. Louie jumped
13:11
down, jump, but put the letting That man down there come to you.
13:15
You stay right down below the edge of the roof. I'm calling you,
13:18
Louis. Hurry, okay, okay, Hi, you for me of
13:24
my life? Your hands away through your pocket pocket, I said, okay,
13:30
Well here goes boom. Mister Temple. He didn't say four. And
13:37
you're landed right on him. Day got cod Come on, Louis, I
13:41
already located this over to the leftman. Let's take a cab, huh,
13:46
Temple, Yeah, a very good foot bracer. I ought to tell you,
13:52
I take it back. I just gained fifty miles hour. We're almost
13:54
to the cab. Why didn't too good for the raim? That rain could
13:58
be too best for us? Help? How, Louis, were you hit?
14:01
No, they scratched the thunder. I just play. I'll buy you
14:05
a new fender quick, Louis in here, Come on, mister Temple.
14:13
Did we stop at a gas station in a way Yeah? Yeah, the
14:16
one with the playing red horse just outside the city. We should have taken
14:18
a horse. No, we'll most ports are breaking the speed lim I think
14:28
we're out of range now as long as we ain't out of gas. Hey,
14:31
Louis, why what? I just remember? What is mister Temple?
14:33
What happens? I forgot to pay the check? The templar yellowis? I
14:50
ain't as big a collard as I sound, of course? Going now I'm
14:52
bigger. Why don't we go home instead of visiting that tuba player, Louis,
14:56
Theodore may be in danger? Uh huh, and they fire bullets at
15:01
us. We're not dangerous. You mustn't forget, Louis, that Theodore have
15:05
to worry about it too. But to all this touches me. Okay,
15:09
we'll help you all protect the tuble, but if we wind up in the
15:13
hospital, will need a tubul we will a luber toothpaste. I guess he
15:33
gave him apparently not. Oh oh, that's a tuba player. Good evening,
15:41
and if I'm in temperated, this is Lewis. I'm the Queen of
15:43
Transylvania. But don't let that all of you maybe come in. Of course,
15:48
the king is out of town. There's only one trouble about being the
15:52
queen of Transylvania. There is no such place as Transylvania. You're right,
15:58
but I didn't to fight outside or upset the neighbors with your gun. I
16:03
always worry about the neighbors. And now that you have your gun pointing at
16:06
me, what am I supposed to worry about? A good explanation of why
16:10
you're looking for Theodore? Why does that continue? I don't think I like
16:12
people who go around looking for Theodore. Maybe they can't help, but it's
16:17
it's a neurosis or something. I might want to offer Theodore a job doing
16:21
what well? Playing the tuba in an orchestra, and I'm the Queen of
16:25
Transylvania. You'll have to do better than mad mister Templary the car. Unless
16:30
I'm guessing badly. The number of people you dislike is shortly going to be
16:34
increased. I don't That car which just stopped outside may be bringing more seekers
16:38
for Theodore. Double please anything interesting through that window? Sure you are,
16:51
and don't try to follow me. Hurry Look at this well right out the
16:55
back door. That's not polite. No point in following her. I'd rather
16:57
find her than theater. Another room that door? You you still think maybe
17:03
Theodore is here? I don't know. This is the bedroom at Oh well,
17:08
well what you found? Theodore and the bed lois lying on a lovely
17:12
white seat. Oh a, wah, whoa, who've been shot full of
17:18
holes? It don't look good on him. Nay, he's dead, boroughly
17:22
dead. But uh it's not Theodore. The doorbells and doubted him. It's
17:27
the Stanley and his friends. However, mister Temple, this is no time
17:30
to pick a Corpse's possible. While yeah, all right, come on,
17:36
you may still make it. If they haven't put anyone on the back door,
17:38
and if they had, it's not crossed any bridges until they collapsed under
17:41
it. Huh something would what you just said? Yeah they're out here alright,
17:48
yeah, yeah, I know, no bridges. We gotta be able
17:51
to make it out of the building. You know something, This is one
17:55
time I would like to run into a couple. Will ask me, where's
17:56
the fire? It's a more important question, really, Theodore, what mister
18:10
Temple and we had enough escapes for the night. I don't know. Louis
18:12
the corpse back in Theodore's apartment with a man named Max Carter. Oh,
18:17
that's why you swiped his wallet. Wasn't nobody around introducing to it? Yeah,
18:22
that's right. Does that wallet also tell you why he was murdered?
18:25
No? Therefore, Yeah, as we stopped at the nearest drug store,
18:30
mister Temple, I couldn't need a thing. That's not what we needed drug
18:33
store for. I look, there's one up ahead, Louis, okay,
18:37
and almost a temple. Wouldn't you have thought that whoever killed that catter guy
18:42
would have been smart enough at least to swipe the wallet so that the body
18:47
wouldn't have been immediately identified. No, now, I suspect it was very
18:52
important to the killer that the body be identified and quickly. I will say,
18:56
aha, ah ha, this make me sounds smart, like I understood
19:00
what you said, So now I can be a dolph again. We're in
19:03
the drug store. Now one son, we find a phone booth, Yeah
19:08
yeah, and we make a phone call. Well, if you'd had a
19:17
chance at least to get a phone number, I would know who you will
19:18
phone. But you didn't to who you phone. Then I've got to find
19:23
out who Maxicanner? Oh, Lieutenant Simon Temper, The lieutenant just left for
19:29
the upper Amazon, good night. Well what's the matter with the lower Amazon?
19:33
Simon? What can I do for you? Who is Maxic Carner?
19:36
Crook, drug addict, blackmailer? Awesome little character I see. Suppose he
19:41
was found murdered, I'd give three cheers, and after that you'd suspect whom
19:45
killing Carr? Thousands of people. But the first guy I tried to get
19:48
in touch with would be a little tuba player named Theodore Cougan pet or Cougan.
19:52
Why Lieutenant Oor Cougan was engaged to a girl named Wendy Breen, very
19:56
much in love with her. You give me a suicide because cause of Carter?
20:00
Huh? So unless Theodore had an iron clad out and Lieutenant not iron
20:06
clad that went out with a buttle, Simon, why are you interested in
20:10
the bustle in Carter? Well, maybe he has a buttle. Goodbye,
20:14
Lieutenant, and that's interesting. What is Louis? I am about to ruin
20:19
and old the prophet? Oh, mister Temple, will be careful. It's
20:23
sometimes necessary to pay the piper, true, but then it may also be
20:29
necessary to prevent him from piping to the cab. Did the lieutenant mentioned why
20:47
he would suspect theodose? Yes, Carter was the reason for a suicide if
20:51
a girl named Wendy Breen Theodore was going to marry her. Oh that's flunny,
20:55
moldive him. Okay, the cab? Well, where to twice around
21:02
the park? Huh, mister Temple, you're not the man you used to
21:06
be. Don't be silly. Louis, the Queen of Transylvania has joined Uh
21:11
huh, I've been following you too. Well, we're flattered when you stopped.
21:15
I paid off my cab and decided to use yours. Oh cozier the
21:18
cheets. Mister Templer, Why were you looking for Theodore? I wasn't not
21:23
in his apartment at any rate? What were you looking for? You know
21:26
that as well as I do. You better tell me anyway? You know
21:30
you really should have words with your dressmaker, your revolvers showing again. Besides,
21:36
do I really have to tell you you were in the bedroom. No,
21:38
I didn't have a chance to. I mean, go on, start
21:41
the car. I stopped, mister Temple, You start, Louis. Now
21:48
suppose you tell me what you were looking for. I'm the one who has
21:52
the gun. I don't have to answer any question, not mine. Perhaps
21:56
the pleee Tarbor will be ruder and more insistent to police use me for interrupting,
22:00
mister templar. But we are being followed, oh by someone else toide
22:04
the queen here, let's make quite a profession. Louis, Can you get
22:07
any more feet out of this cab? Oh's the car right in front of
22:11
me going slowly? You might try passing it, Okay, they he swinging
22:15
on the right in front of the Oh you like that is thorough One car
22:23
in front of us, one behind. Hey, we're boxed in, dazy
22:26
step, Louis, will do you missus? Danny's very touchy around offended?
22:32
Oh indeed, Well can that be my beautiful moon. I've got a gun,
22:37
half a dozen of my boys surrounding the cab. You better let me
22:38
have that gun, thank you. Ah, then we'll all join me in
22:44
my car. I uh think you'll find it more comfort, but I like
22:48
it here because your car is black. It reminds me of a funeral.
22:52
You know, that's a very interesting comment because that may be precisely where all
22:56
of you are going. Well, Stanley Cassino, huh, beginning to feel
23:22
like my little home away from home. Well, I'm so glad the back
23:26
way. Boys. Come on, come on, you don't have to plush
23:36
my office. No one minds. Oh no, my love, I don't
23:41
mind. Good. That's gonna ask me to no, but I might shut
23:45
up all right. I just don't like to feel the low. Now make
23:52
yourselves comfortable. My boys will remain here to keep us coming. Now,
23:56
then, what to do about you? No, it's quite yet, mister
24:00
Stanley. I need five minutes of your time. Five minutes I might be
24:04
able to spare them. Why would Mona Hear have wanted Max Carter dead?
24:08
An interesting question. I suspect he was black Mania. Mona has been an
24:14
alder girl on occasion, and she was in Theodore's apartment in order to kill
24:18
you. Wouldn't kill Theodore. We're friends. I beg your pardon. I
24:22
hadn't been thinking of Theodore. However, mister Stanley, had you also tired
24:26
of paying carterof potence? You're using bothers me, Temple, how stop?
24:30
You know as well as I do that Carter's dead. Oh but Mona,
24:33
you told Louis and me that you hadn't been in the bedroom. How did
24:37
you know Carter was dead? I just guess it's a very tired attempt Mona.
24:42
You know, Temple, you're the barrow of very welcome news, and
24:48
then Carter was black maning. You know, the sweet silence. However,
24:52
it's no longer worrying you miss Mona's admission. And by the way, Theodore
24:56
must be on his way home now. Be it all surprised? Although I
25:02
can't understand why you assume I know anything of Theodore's whereabouts. No, but
25:07
in that case we may as well leave, Yes, I think so?
25:11
Would you drop Moona off a police headquarters. I didn't kill Carter. I
25:14
would have liked to, but he was already dead. My dear girl,
25:17
I suggest that you say that impassioned cry for the jewelry, but during the
25:21
one that will try her for the murder of Max Carno. But she will
25:25
be tried for that she didn't murder Carter. Well, I thought, I'm
25:27
sure the police would prefer Theodore Theodore. Of course, Louis, we know
25:32
he had a magnificent motive. Lieutenant Archer himself said Theodore would be in line
25:36
for the chair unless they had an alibi. Yeah, but he's got an
25:38
alibi. No, no, no. What Theodore will try to say is
25:42
that he was hired as a tuba player by mister Stanley. Came to the
25:47
casino, but instead of being permitted to play, he was bungled into a
25:51
car, driven about for hours and then relief. Well, that would give
25:55
him an alibi if he were believed. But his alibi depends entirely on whether
25:59
or not Stanley really hired him. Mister Danny has already told if he didn't,
26:03
Yeah, but he could be lying. Possibly, But after a jury
26:06
heard Theodore play the Cuba six once, whom would they believe? No one
26:11
would believe Theodore. Theodore would stand a very good chance of dying in the
26:15
electric care However, oddly enough, Theodore will be believed having fun. Templar
26:22
first de printed on Mona, then on Theodore. Now suddenly you're changing your
26:26
mind again. I WA's the idea, and you'll be believed because first I
26:30
shall corroborate his story. The jury could think that you were perjuring yourself for
26:33
friends. No, because you see standing other people besides Mona and Theodore wanted
26:38
Carter dead. That's suppose that one of them got Theodore out of his apartment
26:42
and then put Max Carter's already dead body in there. That would put Theodore,
26:48
if you'll pardon the expressions on the pot, Well, how would this
26:52
theoretical person get Theodore out by making him a fake offer of employment, by
26:56
seeing to it that no one would later believe in that, by also making
27:00
sure that Theodore would have no alibi for the critical time. That person,
27:07
according to you, could only be myself. That's a clever there more than
27:11
a theories. Danny Carter was shot full of holes. That's so I described.
27:17
If the sheet on which he was lying on the bed in Theodore's apartment
27:19
was a lovely white sheet, that's how you describe it. But if it
27:23
has been red with Carter's blood. Therefore Carter was killed elsewhere and moved to
27:30
Theodore's apartment, that does a temple. I'm afraid you'd been bright enough to
27:33
keep your mouth shut. A shat I suspected to believe I didn't notify them
27:38
earlier because Theodore was in your hands. What I did do, however,
27:42
was leave a match book in Carter's pocket. A matchbook here is one supplied
27:48
by your management. When Louis and I die in here, I knew your
27:52
plan called for one of your men to notify the police anonymously of Carter's death
27:56
in Theodore's apartment. Infore, I you're having company, mister Stanley, you'd
28:03
better open the door. They're calling for you. Well, mister Templar,
28:18
we've got through it alive. Prap, But will we ever be the same?
28:22
Is that bad? Simon? Well, I never would have met the
28:26
Queen of Transylvania otherwise, Oh so so to long live the Queen. You
28:52
have been listening to another transcribed adventure of the Saints, the robin Hood of
28:56
modern crime. Now here is our starve in some christ ladies and gentlemen.
29:03
Almost by definition, freedom has been an integral part of America. It is
29:07
the foundation upon which our political philosophy is based. And now we must reaffirm
29:14
our faith in that philosophy. This is the sentiment expressed by the Crusade for
29:18
Freedom. The purpose of the Crusade is simple. First, to bring moral
29:22
and financial support to a radio station operating in the heart of Europe itself,
29:27
a radio station which gives the communist dominated countries a chance to hear the voices
29:33
of their exiled democratic leaders, to tell the world just what America stands for,
29:38
and to bring the truth to the ears of subjugated Europe. To reaffirm
29:42
your faith in freedom, Join the Crusade for America for all humanity. This
29:48
is Vincent Bryce inviting you to join us again next week at the same time
29:52
for another exciting adventure of the Saints. Good Night. This Adventure of the
30:11
Saint was written by Lewis Viddie's Our cast included Nike Morley as Mona and Jack
30:15
Moyles as theatre Victor Rodman, with Stanley frank Urst will Lie Lieutenant and Louis
30:19
is played by Larry Dodkin. The Saint based on characters created by Leslie Charters
30:23
as a James L. Staffier production and is directed by Helen Knight Sinson.
30:27
Price is soon to be seen with Errol Flynn and Michael and Pell and William
30:30
Marsha's production of Bloodline. Saint fans will be glad to know that the comic
30:33
books are now available on the newsstands. Three Times Mean Good Times. On
30:37
NBC Today, Kerry Grant and Vesty Drake starre in the premiere of a delightful
30:41
newcomer to the NBC Sunday lineup, Mister and Missus Blandings. It's top listening,
30:45
so I'll be sure to hear that Kerry Grants as Mister and Missus Blandings
30:49
later on NBC back. Jack Moyles is such a versative or was such a
31:03
versatile actor, and we will hear him in more detail and playing the role
31:11
of Rocky Fortune, the part that he is best known for. But he
31:18
is another one of those actors who is in just so many different stories and
31:25
good voice work. I didn't actually recognize it first as Moyles, but another
31:32
interesting story, and they really do develop these out, particularly without a commercial
31:38
sponsor. The Crusade for Freedom essentially raised funds for Radio Free Europe, and
31:45
there was an episode of the radio comedy Life with Luigi where Luigi went out
31:52
and raised funds for the program. And you'll hear it referenced sometimes like this
32:00
one at the end of the episode. I've heard that referenced on Armis Brooks,
32:06
but it was something that ran throughout the nineteen fifties until nineteen sixty to
32:13
raise funds for for Crusade for Freedom and Radio Free Europe. All right,
32:21
well, that will do it for today. We will be back tomorrow with
32:24
the lineup. In the meantime, sendra comments to Box thirteen at Great Detectives
