  Speaker 2: At all just a voice level. I left doctor m
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: King alone in the armchair detectives room.
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: We went on with our program, and in due course
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: I reached the point in our mystery where I was
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: able to say, but, ellery, do you mean to say?
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: That's that?
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: Now?

  Speaker 2: I know who committed the murder?
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: Nicky and I hurried to the arm ched detective's room.
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: As usual, there was doctor Mking, a little nervous, but

  Speaker 4: otherwise himself.

• 8:14
  Speaker 4: Table, and there, ladies and gentlemen, you'll have the mystery. Now,

• 8:25
  Speaker 7: famous doctor Monty Mking, founder and leading light of that
• 8:29
  Speaker 7: popular radio program The King's English.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: All I can think of at this moment, Doctor M.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: King is McQueen's ignorance. You're too modest.
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: Emily, you're not the worst of hider by enemy. Ooh,
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: you're sometimes guilty of ellipses. Is that bad, doctor, But
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: you usually avoid committing such truly paul crimes against our
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: mother tongue as needless variants, irrelevant allusions, pleonasms, periperous.
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: Render But to get away from the English language and
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: how to use it, Doctor Mking, I hear you're famous
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: and the difference fere all together.
• 9:04
  Speaker 7: Yes, you're said to be able to whip up a
• 9:05
  Speaker 7: mean boyr based doctor. Oh.
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: Yes, Nikki, I am an enthusiastic amateur.
• 9:10
  Speaker 7: Hif doesn't your wife resent it?
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: On the contrary, Nikki, missus Mking is only too happy
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: to leave the solution of our household's culinary mysteries to me.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Ah. Talking about solving mystery is doctor Mking.

  Speaker 4: Knight's mystery.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: By first, here.
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: The control room cut our arm chair detective's room off
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: the air that night, just in time. As Nicky and
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: I hurried around the table to doctor mc king's chair,
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: can fell off.
• 10:16
  Speaker 7: His chair, Doctor Queen, Queen, I I poison poison.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Doctor King?
• 10:24
  Speaker 7: What the.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Search Rosemary?
• 10:29

• 10:35
  Speaker 7: call a doctor?
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Oh what Nicky, Hillary? What's going on in here? What's
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: happened to your guest?
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: Say it's dead Phil, But we're still on the air.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: Like the poison is in that glass of water. M
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: King just drank our water from the picture pictures loaded
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: with a tool.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Smell of this film? Huh oh, what am I doing?
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Hurry for the love of Mike, we're still on. You've
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: got to finish the show.
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: So murder.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Yes, the murdy is Phil had this room got us
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: who were off the air? Nicky, Hey, sorry, back.
• 11:03
  Speaker 7: To the mic. I don't know how we got through
• 11:14
  Speaker 7: the rest of the program. My mind's a blank on
• 11:16
  Speaker 7: the whole thing. But the minute we went off the
• 11:19
  Speaker 7: air that evening, Ellery hurried back to the guest room
• 11:21
  Speaker 7: to solve a very different kind of murder, the murder
• 11:24
  Speaker 7: of his own armchair detective. No, no, no, I didn't
• 11:29
  Speaker 7: inspect the Queen. I didn't.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: I tell you, missus mc king your husband's dying words
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: with a at you.
• 11:34
  Speaker 7: But you didn't find anything on me, did you.
• 11:35
  Speaker 6: The idea of murder is ridiculous, Queen. My brother probably
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: committed suicide. Impossible, Bud.
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: The poison that killed him comes only in liquid form,
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: so it must have been in the container.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: And there's no poison container of any kind, either on
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: doctor mc king's body or.
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: In this rule Inspector. Really I found it. Ah, the
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: bottle's empty, Inspector.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: But smell it.
• 11:52
  Speaker 7: Eh, this is it all right?
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: Say?
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: Let you find that bottle on the floor of that
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: glass and closed booth where missus mc king, Bud mcking
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: and miss wolln the broadcast from my stroke the client's booth.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Oh, Nikki feeling better?
• 12:03
  Speaker 7: Oh yes, sorry, Oh? No one else was in that booth, Inspector,
• 12:06
  Speaker 7: just his wife's brother and secretary.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: So to simplify this allay, IM sure the water in
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: this picture was okay when the mking party first came
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: in here with you.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: And Nikki, before he went in the air, positive does
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: Inspector Eli, he.
• 12:16
  Speaker 7: Drank a glass full of it himself.
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: So one of these three dropped the poison into the
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: picture before miss porter escorted him out disposed of.
• 12:22
  Speaker 7: The empty bottle in the booth.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Freid. We forced the poisonous hand Nikki by sending him
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: into that booth. Mking.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: It looks as if your husband had noticed you pulling
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: around with that picture.
• 12:31
  Speaker 7: If Marty had seen me drop poison into the water,
• 12:33
  Speaker 7: would he have drunk any of its?
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Rosemary's got a point there, Inspector.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: He probably didn't get the significance of what he'd clean
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: until he realized.
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: He was poison But when he does realize it, he says,
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: to search you for the bottle man?
• 12:43
  Speaker 7: But why should I murder Marty? I loved my husband.
• 12:45
  Speaker 7: I loved him dearly. Life won't be the same, I'll
• 12:48
  Speaker 7: say it won't.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: What do you say, Oh?
• 12:53
  Speaker 7: Nothing, nothing?
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: What did you mean, miss Wallace?
• 12:56
  Speaker 7: Yes, go on, Elsie, say it all right, I will.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: Doctor mc king was the kindest husband in the world
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: to her, and all she cared about was money, money
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: for clothes, furs and jewelry.
• 13:09
  Speaker 7: And when he had to close down her charge, he
• 13:10
  Speaker 7: called she.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: She poisoned him out of revenge. Huw mush wolen no
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: for his estate.
• 13:17
  Speaker 7: His will leaves everything to her. That's why missus mc
• 13:20
  Speaker 7: king poisoned him.
• 13:22
  Speaker 8: What is money?
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Well, missus mckinn What can I say, mister crean.
• 13:26
  Speaker 7: That I'm innocent.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: I've already told you that.
• 13:28
  Speaker 7: A dozen times.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: It's true.
• 13:30
  Speaker 7: I've been extravagant and I was angry when Mardy plants
• 13:33
  Speaker 7: down on me. But commit murder for money?
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: The man I loved Hallry come out with me a minute.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Oh yes, Dad, shut the door, well shut it it
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: shut that. Oh he's blamed radio doors, you think, son.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: I don't know. The King did put the finger on
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: his wife. He may have been no more than a
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: stab in the dark day, certainly not enough to hold
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: her on.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: And he ain't gonna stand her home and have bally
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: Gum showed the house on the QT. Might send Nikki
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: home with that tool. Good idea that secret snoop out information.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Where they wouldn't give her.
• 14:06
  Speaker 7: The time of day.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: I'm blessed sure, but what that?
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: Ever since m King said Sir Rosemary, I've had the
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: weirdest feeling that he meant something else.
• 14:15
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: I had the feeling there's a clue, clue I've missed
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: or forgotten, a clue that ties in with mc king's
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: dying words. Maybe something that happened during the of course,
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: you've got it now, but I know where I can
• 14:28

• 20:42
  Speaker 3: but ellery Rosemary.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: That's missus mc king's first names.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: It's also the name of something else, Doctor mc king
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: was an amateur chef, an enthusiastic cook, and this ought
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: to be the spice cabinet.
• 20:52

• 21:00
  Speaker 4: ginger Ah, look Rosemary, huh.

• 21:05
  Speaker 2: He said, search Rosemary. Meant to finish a sentence of.
• 21:08
  Speaker 7: Search Rosemary, jar and spice cabinet or something like.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: That, search Rosemary, jobbo, Well, search it. I'm right there'll
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: be something in this jar unless the searcher beat us
• 21:17

• 21:18
  Speaker 6: There is a lot of typewriters message the King left
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: it what to say yuh, dated ten days ago.
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: Due to a recent disturbing episode, I am writing this

  Speaker 4: notice of precaution. If anyone finds it, I'm the only
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: one who uses the spice cabinet, so to say it
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: against accidental discovery. It will be because they are investigating
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: my murder. The other night, a certain person close to
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: me threatened my life jar. I was inclined to at
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: first dismiss it as hysteria. Now I am not so sure.
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: If anything happens to me. The person who threatened to
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: kill me wash co On Elsie Woolen, my secretary signed
• 21:57

  Speaker 4: Tears, Nikki, you tackle a give us some of the
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: old Porte treatment, you know, the kind of use on me.

  Speaker 6: They just don't understand.
• 22:46
  Speaker 7: Yes, well they're men, dear, But Elsie, they'll find out eventually.
• 22:51
  Speaker 7: It's much better to tell the truth. They're really not O.
• 22:56
  Speaker 7: You can't blame them, dear. If you refuse to talk it,
• 22:59
  Speaker 7: it looks if you have something to come and see you.
• 23:02
  Speaker 7: Why not tell the whole story? Come on, now, I
• 23:08
  Speaker 7: loved him, secretary loves books.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: Dike, you shut up.
• 23:13
  Speaker 7: I kept it locked up for so long, but one
• 23:18
  Speaker 7: night it came out. Marty told me he loved his wife.
• 23:23
  Speaker 7: I guess I said some foolish things, but I didn't poison.
• 23:27
  Speaker 9: Him last night.
• 23:28
  Speaker 7: I didn't.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: You can't prove I didn't because I didn't try to
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: prove it.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: Go ahead, try hey, all right, Bailey, She's not going
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: anywhere because she's right.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: He can't prove it. Well, this does is to uncover
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: an not a possible motive.
• 23:47
  Speaker 7: This would be about the time for the great Ellery
• 23:49
  Speaker 7: Queen to come up with one of his miraculous solutions,
• 23:52
  Speaker 7: wouldn't it.
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: Oh Nickie, how did you know? Oh no, Llary, Yes, Dad,
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: Now I know who murdered doctor m King. And there,
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: ladies and gentlemen, you have the mystery. Now I suppose
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: you home, Mom, Jeded Detectives and our guest in the
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: studio compare solutions.
• 24:23
  Speaker 7: Ellery. I'm happy to introduce the charming proprietress of one
• 24:27
  Speaker 7: of Hollywood's most popular syndicated columns, Miss Sheila Graham.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Good eating, Miss Graham, and welcome to the arm chair.
• 24:34
  Speaker 7: Thank you.
• 24:35
  Speaker 8: But after listening to your mystery tonight, I'm a little
• 24:38
  Speaker 8: worried about occupying this post.
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: Oh oh, you have nothing to be afraid of, procus
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: you like a glass of water. But help you relax?
• 24:48
  Speaker 7: Who has the last thing in the world i'd want?
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: I can't say that I blame you, But now I
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: suppose we get down to business. Tell me, who do
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: you think is the criminal in tonight's story?
• 24:57
  Speaker 8: Well it's very complicated, tonight, sure, but I think miss Woolan,
• 25:01
  Speaker 8: the secretary did it.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: I see and you see it.
• 25:05
  Speaker 8: Well, it was a very subtle murder. It takes a
• 25:08
  Speaker 8: smart girl to murder a man like that, and took
• 25:11
  Speaker 8: a lot of preparation. Secretaries are usually rather smart. And
• 25:15
  Speaker 8: she knew this man. She knew that he might get thirsty.
• 25:18
  Speaker 8: He obviously got thirsty very often in his office. And
• 25:21
  Speaker 8: also he said that somebody very hysterically threatened his life.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, previously, you mean in the note.
• 25:29
  Speaker 8: He left, and she was a very hysterical woman. So
• 25:32
  Speaker 8: I think miss Woollan did it.
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: Thank you very much, Micheila Graham. We'll find out in
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: just a moment if your solution is correct. Now here
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: is Paul Masterson.
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: A second grade war has in the not two distant
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: past drawn to a close. The magnificent, self sacrificing work
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: of the International Red Cross will long be remembered at home.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: The American Red Cross has always been on the job
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: whenever a disaster struck, whether it was a tornado, earthquake, fire.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: Or flood.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: It is our duty and our privilege to help make
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: the ninth teen forty eight Red Cross campaign the best ever.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: The quote is set at seventy five million dollars. By
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: giving to the Red Cross, you were giving directly to
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: your relatives and friends and the armed forces. And here
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: at home, let's make nineteen forty eight the banner year
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: in donations to the American Red Cross.
• 26:26
  Speaker 7: I don't care. I don't want to hear it. He's
• 26:29
  Speaker 7: just too too smart, always knows the answer to mysteries.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: Well, I want to here, Nicky piped down. What have
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: you got out? Ready? Swelled head?
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: And it's all right, dad, it's that crack of the skull. Well, now,
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: what was doctor Marty mc king's profession? What was he
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: most famous for?
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: His radio program The King's English thirty on the correct
• 26:48
  Speaker 6: usage of the English language.
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: And let's take another look at that note we just
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: found on the Rosemary jar I quote due to a
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: recent disturbing episode, I am writing and so forth. Something
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: wrong there, Maestro, Oh, sergeant, due to two in that
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: sentence is hopelessly incorrect.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: Oh it is, Huh. It should read because of a
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: recent disturbance, I'm writing and so forth. Due two can
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: never be used at verbally that so and this.
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: If anyone finds it, it'll be because they are investigating
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: my murder.
• 27:19
  Speaker 7: Any one must be followed by he one can possibly
• 27:21
  Speaker 7: mean the plural.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: Oh, miss Porter is with us again? Yes, Nikki.
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: Another mistake, and this I was inclined to at first
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: dismiss a split split in one. In other words, this
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: short note purportedly from the pen of an authority uncorrect English,
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: reveals not one, not two, but three of the commonest
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: errors of usage.
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: Incredible conclusion. Doctor mc king did not write the note.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: It's a phoney, I mean a forgery.
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: And since the note was not written by doctor mc king,
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: was not left in the Rosemary job at doctor m
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: king either someone else left the note in the jar.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: Obviously the real writer of the note. The fortrait very
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: why what was accomplished by it? Or a great deal
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: to it?
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: Made us believe that the word rue Rosemary and doctor
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: mc king's dying statement searched Rosemary meant Rosemary the herb
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: rather than Rosemary, the name of a woman. And who
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: gains by our thinking that the victim was not accusing
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: a woman named Rosemary, but was merely telling us to
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: look for a note in a spice jar.
• 28:15
  Speaker 7: Only Rosemary mcking herself, she did poison her husband right
• 28:18
  Speaker 7: to twist.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: His accusation of her to mean something entirely different because
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: she had a guilty conscience.
• 28:23
  Speaker 7: So tonight, after I put her to bed, she forged
• 28:25
  Speaker 7: her husband's signature to a note accusing Elsie Wooman, then
• 28:28
  Speaker 7: sneak downstairs, let the note in the rosemary.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: Jar as a blind and then Nicky deliberately led us
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: to that jar. Wait a minute, Wait a minute, led
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: us to the jar, my stroke.
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: By wrecking the kitchen, Sergeant, what was that but a
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: clever device to draw our attention to him, to make
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: us search it and find her plant in the rosemary jar.
• 28:45
  Speaker 7: And then on her way back upstairs, she bumped into
• 28:47
  Speaker 7: me in the dark and let me have it.
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: At that Rosemary's attempt to lead us down a falls
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: trail might have succeeded if only she'd learned from her
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: victim the rules governing the English language.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: Oh, here's where she learned something about the real governing murder. Really, Oh,
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: Rose Murray Mking for the murder of my arm chair detective. Yes, sir,
• 29:19

  Speaker 3: and brings lightning into those beauteous orbs? Why, Paul, Well,

• 29:58
  Speaker 3: in me. Poh, NICKI remember me, go away, not you, Nicky?
• 30:04
  Speaker 7: Yes, I remember you, Ellery, Q I remember that female too?

  Speaker 11: out at Otrwesterns dot com slash live again. That's OTR

• 32:28
  Speaker 11: Detectives of Old Time Radio with Adam Graham And now
• 32:31
  Speaker 11: let's get back into the show.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Welcome back. Well, this has gotta be the most mata
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: detective show we've ever had. This makes uh, Johnny Dollar
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: running into listeners seem quite tame by comparison. It's an
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: interesting idea, and I think they did a good job
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: of it. I uh, I think they were trying to
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: avoid going for a sort of wouldn't it been as
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: bad as a War of the World's panic? But they
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: didn't want people going around saying, did j hear how
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: somebody got killed at ABC recording ellery Queen? And he
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: was clear that so that it didn't happen live. It
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: happened a long time ago, back when we were on
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: NBC or CBS. Of course, the case was a little
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: bit of misdirection because the only reason the police thought
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: that Rosemary meant something other than the woman's name is
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: because Ellery said that's what he felt. Though, as Inspector
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Queen said, they didn't quite have any evidence, so it
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: all turned out for the best. Well, now we turned
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: to listener comments and feedback and joan comments regarding the
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: saga of ROUFFI rough that it was nice. It was
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: a nice surprise to find Jack Webb in the show.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: This only goes to prove we must listen even more
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: carefully to the voices as we listen to the different shows.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: I missed the regular actors of Ellery Queen as we
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: heard them in previous shows, and because of this I
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: only have listened to this show. I didn't like the
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: replacement actors as well as I like the ones before. Well,
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: I guess the case of the Ellery Queen Radio show
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: at this point is if you don't like the cast,
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: they will change, And of course we had a change
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: with Virginia greg Out replaced by Kay Brinker. The interesting
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: thing about Kay Brinker is she had worked on Ellery
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: Queen before, and she had actually married Ellery Queen or
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: one half of the writing team that produced the books.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: She was the wife of Manfred Lee. She married him
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: in nineteen forty two and they had eight children together.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: And here she's returning to the of Nicki Porter in
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: nineteen forty eight. Of course, this would also mark the departure,
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: as I said, of Larry Dopkin. Now, we don't know
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: if this was his last recorded episode, but it's the
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: last episode in existence. And the way that Dopkin tells
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: that he was very unceremoniously dismissed. He told Martin Grahams
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: that one day he was just told that he was
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: not going to be back as Ellery Queen and not
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: to show up at the studio next week. Was given
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: no reason why he was dismissed. And again from everything
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: in Dapkin's career, he continued to be much in demand,
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: a very great professional, but he was replaced by Howard Colver,
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: who will hear next week. Now we do turn to
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: a listener review over in the iTunes store Bill Jay Right.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: Some of these I heard when they first aired. It
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: is interesting on the personalities of normal people as portrayed
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: then compared to ask portray now, indeed it really is,
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: and I do think that there were some big differences.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: While certainly some of the portrayals were silly or over
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: the top or unrealistic, even on the more closest we
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: got to reality programs, stuff like people are Funny. There
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: was a different way people talked and carried themselves, even
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: if they didn't know they were being record well. During
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: our listener support Week, we discussed programs that will be
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: coming to you during our two thy fifteen twenty sixteen season,
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: which gets underway the last week of October. Still to
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: come this season, on Mondays, we'll be starting up with
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: Michael Shane and that will run through that whole season.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: On Tuesday. We actually have two more series we're going
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: to introduce in the twenty fourteen twenty fifteen season, with
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: Heartstone of the Death Squad and Crime Files of Lamond.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: For those of you who love Basil Rathbone, he'll be back,
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: though not as Sherlock Holmes. He'll be starring in Tales
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: of Fatima for two weeks and then I know a
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: lot of people have asked for the Shadow, and I've
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: explained the program status. We just can't bring it to you. However,
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: we are going to bring you a show that's very
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: much like The Shadow. In fact, it stars one of
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: the actor, mister James Monks, who starred in Mister Moto.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: And I thought that it was a supernatural show, but
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: as I listened to it, it turned out to really
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: be a detective story with a little bit of a
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: shadowish element thrown in, and I thought, this isn't something
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: we should do as an extra, this is something we
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: should bring to the Great Detectives. So he will bring
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: you The Avenger, then the ABC Mystery Theater featuring Mark
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: Saber and Defense Attorney and find only the Private Files
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: of Rex Saunders. These are all fairly short series, with
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: the exception of The Avengers. I trust you we'll enjoy
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: them all right. Well, that will do it for today.
