  Speaker 5: Producer of radio's outstanding theater of thrill, the master of
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: mystery and adventure, William N. Robeson.
• 3:16
  Speaker 10: There is an old definition which describes the theater as
• 3:20
  Speaker 10: a plank on two barrels and a passion. Analogously, we
• 3:24
  Speaker 10: might describe radio drama as a microphone, a voice, and
• 3:28
  Speaker 10: a story. Tonight we have all three and little else.
• 3:33
  Speaker 10: Little else is needed when the voice belongs to an
• 3:35
  Speaker 10: actor of the statue of Herbert Marshall. We present without
• 3:38
  Speaker 10: supporting players, without sound effects, and no more than the
• 3:42
  Speaker 10: usual musical trimmings. His voice is all that's needed to
• 3:46
  Speaker 10: strike terror to your heart. So send the more impressionable
• 3:49
  Speaker 10: small children out of the room, dim the lights, settle.
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: Back and listen as Mr. Marshall stars in A.M.
• 3:56

• 5:02
  Speaker 3: And now, The Waxwood, starring Mr. Herbert Marshall. A tale
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: well calculated to keep.
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: You in suspense. While the uniformed attendants of Madame of
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: Waxworks were ushering the last travelers through the exit, the
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: manager sat in his office and could learn Raymond Hewson,
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: a young journalist, somewhat down in luck. The manager was speaking.
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: It used to be said years ago that Madame Tussauds
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: would give a man a hundred pounds for sleeping alone
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: in the Chamber of Horrors. I hope you don't think
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: that we have made an exception, Mr. Hewson. By the way,
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: what is your paper? I'm... I'm freelancing a present forever.
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: I should find no difficulty in getting the story printed.
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: The morning echo would use it like a shot. A
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: night with mariners and murderers. You're very well, Miss Peterson.
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: And if only there was no small ordeal that you're
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: proposing to undertake. I own I shouldn't care to take
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: it on. I should hate having to spend the night
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: alone in the murder of Ben.
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: Why?
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: Those waxworks represent the lowest and most appalling types of humanity.
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: The whole atmosphere of the place is unfrizzled, and if
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: you are susceptible to atmosphere, I warn you that you
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: are in for a very uncomfortable night. Hewson had known
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: that from the moment the idea of her first occurred
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: to him. His soul sickened at the prospect. But here
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: was a chance not to be missed. The price of
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: a special story in the morning echo. Besides, if he
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: wrote the story well, it might lead to an offer
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: of regular employment. The manager smiled and rose. Well, I
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: think the last of the people must have gone by now. Oh,
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: one condition I'm afraid I must impose on you. I
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: must ask you not to smoke. We had a fire
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: scare down there this evening. I don't know who gave
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: the alarm, but whoever it was, it was a false one. Fortunately,
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: there were very few people down there at the time,
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: or there might have been a panic. And now that
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: you're ready, I'll take you down to the murderer's den.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: In a moment, we continue with the second act of Suspense.
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: Here comes Elmer Blurt, world's lowest pressure salesman. Nobody home,
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: I hope. It says here, J.P. Pullum, dentist. You wouldn't
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: want to buy a new 1959 Rambler, would you, Doc?
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: You are a lucky man. I just happen to have
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: a vacancy. Sit down. Yeah, but, Doc... Open wide. Oh,
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: that's right. You know, you don't have to tell me
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: on the 59 Rambler. It's first in economy, first in
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: sales games, and no wonder. Rambler has the best of both.
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: Big car room, small car economy. Tell it, Doc.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: Oh, relax.
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: Can't you salesman ever stop selling?
• 8:03
  Speaker 9: You know, Rambler's got quite an idea with that personalized comfort.
• 8:07
  Speaker 9: Independently adjustable front seats, adjustable headlifts, easiest parking and handling
• 8:11
  Speaker 9: in America.
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: But that 59 Rambler is so terrific it makes you
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: want to put your foot right down on the extreme. Now,
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: that didn't hurt, did it? Oh, gosh, well, no, that's
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: my lower place you've been drilling.
• 8:25
  Speaker 9: Rambler continues to pass car after car in sales. In
• 8:28
  Speaker 9: state after state, Rambler now outsells all but two other makes.
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: Come see why. Drive the success car at your Rambler dealers.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: And now, Starring Mr. Herbert Marshall, Act Two of The Waxwork.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: The world we live in in Mariner's Waxworks is an
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: eerie and uncomfortable chamber.
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: A chamber whose atmosphere invited its victims to speak to whispers.
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: The Vaxworth murderers stood on low pedestals. Recent notoriety rubbed
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: just the shoulders of the old favorites. Fertile, the murderer
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: of Weir, stood as if frozen in the act of
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: making a shop window gesture to young Bywaters. There was Detroit,
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: the poor half-baked little snob who killed for gain, so
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: you might think, the gentleman. Within a few yards of
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: him sat Mrs. Thompson, that erotic romanticist. and to officiate
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: the British middle class making of it. Charles Peace, young
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: member of the Vow Company, was an entirely evil, smeared
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: across the Norman Thorn. The manager pointed out several more
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: interesting and holy notabilities. That, um, that Crippen, I expect
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: you recognize him, insignificant little beast who looks as if
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: he couldn't tread on a worm. That, uh, that is Armstrong.
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: Looks like a decent, harmless country gentleman, doesn't he? There's
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: old Lackey. You can't miss him, of course, because of
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: his beard. And this one. Who's that? He was in
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: the house doing the whisper.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: Oh, have a good look at him.
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: This is our star. He's the only one of the
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: bunch that hasn't been hanged. The figure that Houston had
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: indicated was that of a small, slight man, not much
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: more than five feet in height. It wore little wax moustaches,
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: large spectacles, and an opera cape. There was something so
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: exaggeratedly French in its appearance that it reminded Houston of
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: a stage caricature. He could not have said precisely why
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: the mild-looking face seemed to him so apparent. Who is he? That,
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: said the manager, is Dr. Bourdette. Wilson shook his head doubtfully.
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: I think I've heard the name, but I forget in
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: connection with what. Oh, you would remember better if you
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: were a Frenchman. A little while back, that man was
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: the terror of Paris. He carried on his work of
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: healing by day and of fruit cutting by night. He
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: killed for the sheer devilish pleasure it gave him to kill.
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: And always in the same way. With a razor. But
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: at last he left the crew behind him which set
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: the police upon his track. But it was too clever
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: for them. When he realized that the coils were closing
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: about him he mysteriously disappeared and ever since the police
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: of every civilized country have been looking for him. However,
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: there's no doubt that he managed to do away with himself.
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: And by some means which has prevented his body coming
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: to life. I... I don't like him at all. What
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: eyes he's got. Yes, this figure is a little masterpiece.
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: You find the eyes bite into you? Well, that's excellent realism, then,
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: for Bourdieu practiced mesmerism and was supposed to hypnotize his
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: victims before dispatching them. Indeed, had he not done so,
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: it is impossible to see how some smaller man could
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: have accomplished his ghastly work. There were never any signs
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: of a struggle. I.
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: I thought I saw him move. Well, you will have
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: more than one optical illusion before the night's out, I expect, sir.
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry I can't give you any more light, but
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: all the lights are already on. For obvious reasons, we
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: keep this place as gloomy as possible. Well, good night, Mr. Hewson.
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: The manager had provided an armchair for Hewson, who immediately
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: turned it so that that was towards the effigy of Dr. Webberett.
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: For some undefined reason, he liked Dr. Blodet a great
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: deal less than his companions. The dim, unwavering light filling
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: the world of rigor which was so unkindly like human
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: beings that the silence and the stillness seemed unnatural and
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: even ghastly. He missed the sound of breathing, the rustling
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: of clothes, the hundred and one minute noise as one
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: hears when even the deepest silence has fallen upon a cloud.
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: and the air was as stagnant as water at the
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: bottom of the standing pond. It must be like this
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: at the bottom of the sea, he thought. He faced
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: the sinister figure boldly enough. They were only waxworks. So
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: long as he let that thought dominate all others, he
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: promised himself that all would be well. It did not, however,
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: save him long from the discomfort occasioned by the waxen
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: stare of Dr. Bourdette, which he knew was directed upon
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: him from behind. The eyes of the little Frenchman's effigy
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: haunted and tormented him. Then he etched for the desire
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: to turn and look. At last, the compulsion was too great,
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: and he seared his chair around and looked behind him.
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: The image of the dreadful little doctor seemed to stand
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: out with the queer prominence. He soon frinched before the
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: parody of mildness, which some foolishly skilled craftsman had managed
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: to convey in wax. met the eyes for another nine seconds,
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: and turned again to face the other direction. She is
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: only a waxwork like the rest of you. You are
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: all only waxworks. They were only waxworks, yes, but waxworks
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: don't move. Not that he had seen the least movement anywhere,
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: but it struck him that in the moment or two
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: while he had looked behind him, there had been the
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: least subtle change in the grouping of the figures in front. Crippen,
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: for instance, seemed to have turned a degree to the left. Or,
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: thought Hewson, perhaps the illusion was due to the fact
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: that he had not returned his chair to its exact
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: original position. He had neither seen nor heard a movement,
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: but it was as if some sixth sense had made
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: him aware of one. He looked straight into the vapid
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: countenance of Lefroy, which smiled vacantly back as if to say,
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: It wasn't I. Of course, it wasn't me. Or any
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: of them. It was his own nerves. Or was it?
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: He swung round Crippen to encounter the mild but barefoot
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: child of Dr. Burdett. Then, without warning, he jerked his
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: head back to stare straight at Crippen.
• 15:49
  Speaker 8: Ah!
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: She nearly caught Crippen that time. You'd better be careful, Crippen,
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: and all the rest of you. If I do see
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: one of you move, I'll smash you to pieces. Yes.
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: This would not do. This distinctly would not do. These
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: figures grouped around him were only dummies made of wax
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: and sawdust. They stood there for the entertainment of morbid
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: sightseers and orange-sucking cripple. It was no good. He knew
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: the effigy of Dr. Bourdette was staring at him. He
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: could feel the two places where the gaze of those
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: piercing eyes pressed into his back. He turned halfway and
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: tried to steal a glance at the figure. but instead
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: he felt himself whirled around to face those dreadful hypnotic eyes.
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: You moved! Yes, you did, you moved! I saw you!
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: You moved! Then he sat quite still, staring straight before
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: him like a man found frozen in the optic snows.
• 16:51
  Speaker 7: Dr.
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: Burdett's movements were leisurely. He stepped off the pedestal with
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: the mincing care of a lady alighting from a bus,
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: and then quietly sat down on the edge of the horizon.
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: Once when I missed you, something told me that you
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: are nervous. My dear sir, I have no illusions. I
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: am not one of these consensual effigies, miraculous to come
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: to life. I am not the word that comes out.
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: I am not the word that comes out.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: In a moment, we continue with the third act of Suspense.
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: Little you know about the little white tablet In the
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: little green pocket wall Just a-waitin' for the moment when
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: you need him To bring your acid indigestion under control
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: Tums are the little white tablets in the little green
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: pocket roll. Tums for the tummy, T-U-M-S. Bring them in
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: quicker than you'd ever guess.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: Best for any time of active stress.
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: Keep them handy in the pocket roll. Keep your tummy
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: under tummy control. Tums are fast, effective, and safe. Tums
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: relieve the discomfort of acid.
• 18:29
  Speaker 9: Indigestion quickly with no danger of acid rebound, sometimes.
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: Caused by harsh alkalizers.
• 18:35
  Speaker 9: Always carry Tums, 10 cents. Three-roll pack, a quarter. New Tums,
• 18:40
  Speaker 9: six-roll pack with free metal carrier.
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: 49 cents.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: And now, starring Mr. Herbert Marshall, Act Three of.
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: The Wax Work. He saw Sasha Mulder staring at the
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: mile with the murderer. He could see. He could hear.
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: He could not move a muscle. and could not tear
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: his eyes away from Dr. Burdett's hypnotic eyes. The doctor
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: continued in his easy manner. The circumstances have made it
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: desirable that I should live in England. I was close
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: to this building this evening when I saw a policeman
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: regarding me a little too curiously. I guessed that he
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: intended to follow and perhaps ask me embarrassing questions, so...
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: I mingled with the crowd and came in here. A
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: coin brought my admission to the chamber in which we
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: now meet, and an inspiration showed me a certain means
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: of escape. I raised a cry of fire, and when
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: all the fools had rushed to the stairs, I stripped
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: my effigy of the cape which you behold me wearing,
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: donned it, hid my effigy under the platform at the back,
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: and took its place on the pedestal. The manager's description
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: of me, which I have the embarrassment of being compelled
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: to overhear, was biased, but not altogether inaccurate. Clearly, I
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: am not dead, although it is as well that the
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: world think I am. His account of my hobby, which
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: I have indulged for years, although so necessityless people to
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: have late, was, in the main, true. For you see,
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: the world is divided between collectors and non-collectors. With the
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: non-collectors we are not concerned. The collectors collect anything according
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: to their individual tastes, from money to cigarette cards, from
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: mugs to matchboxes. I collect fruits. He paused again and
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: regarded Houston's surface. Interest mingled with disfavor. I am obliged
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: to the chance which brought us together tonight, and perhaps
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: it would seem ungrateful to complain. From motives of personal safety,
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: my activities have been somewhat curtailed of late, and I
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: am glad of this opportunity of gratifying my somewhat unusual whim.
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: But you have a skinny neck, sir, if you will
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: overlook a personal remark. I should never have selected you
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: from choice. I like men with thick necks. Thick red necks.
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: He fumbled in an inside pocket and took out something
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: which he pressed against the wet forefinger and then proceeded
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: to pass gently to and fro across the palm of
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: his left hand. But this is a little French razor.
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: The blade you will observe is very narrow. They do
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: not cut very deeply. but deep enough. In just one
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: little moment you shall see for yourself. I shall ask
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: you the little civil question of all polite barbers. Does
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: the razor suit you, sir? He rose up at the
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: minute of the menacing figure of evil and approached Hewson
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: with the silent, furtive step of a hunting panther. You
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: will have the goodness to raise your chin a little.
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: Thank you. And a little more. Just a little more. Ah,
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: thank you. Merci. Merci, monsieur. Merci. Merci. Over one end
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: of the chamber was a thick skylight of frosted glass
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: which by day lit in a few sickly, unfelted rays
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: from the floor above. After sunrise, leaves began to mingle
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: with the food light from the electric bulb, and this
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: mingled illumination added a certain ghastliness to the scene which
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: needed no additional touch of horror. The waxwork figures stood
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: apathetically in their places, waiting to be admired or execrated
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: by the crowds who were presently wandering fearfully among them.
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: In their midst, Houston sat still, leaning far back in
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: his swivel chair. His chin looked tilted as if it
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: were waiting to receive attention from his father. And although
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: there was not a scratch upon his throat nor anywhere
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: upon his body, he was cold and dead Dr. Gurdjieff,
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: under the pedestal, watched the dead man in emotion.
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: He did not move, nor was he capable of motion.
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: But then, after all, he was only a waxwork.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: Suspense.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: In which Herbert Marshall starred in William N. Robeson's production
• 24:34
