The Adventure of the Beeswax Candle That's free wine brings you Fate Book of
1:45
Gregory Hood Tonight. The Patrick family, the family that took time to bring
1:56
you good wine. Invite you to listen to the adventure of these wax candles.
2:01
Another exciting story from the case book of Gregory Hood. I hope you're
2:06
sitting back in a comfortable chair after a good dinner. Did you try my
2:09
suggestion to start that dinner with a glass of Petrie California sherry. Petri sherry
2:15
is the best beginning a good meal ever has. When you pour yourself a
2:19
glass of that Patriy sherry, just look at the color, a beautiful deep
2:23
amber. Then hold that glass of Pattery sherry up to the light. Notice
2:27
how clear Petri sherry is, just as clear as crystal. That you know
2:31
is one sure sign of a good sherry. But only when you put that
2:36
glass to your lips do you really know how good Petrie sherry is. It
2:39
has a flavor that comes right from the heart of luscious sun, ripe and
2:44
grape. Oh and say, if you like your sherry dry, you know
2:47
not sweet. Petrie makes a fine dry sherry. It's called Petrie pale dry.
2:53
If you don't know which you prefer, the regular or the dry,
2:57
why not dry? Boat? Don't buy one, buy you, but just
3:00
be sure you always by Petrick. Well, it's Monday night in San Francisco
3:23
and we have a weekly date with Gregory Hood and his friend Sanderson's Face.
3:28
Tonight's rendezvous is at one of this city's favorite and most colorful meeting places,
3:31
the top of the Mark Hopkins Hotel. Let's join the Mary, Harry Bartow,
3:39
how are you, missus? Taylor? Hello, Gregory, Hello,
3:42
Harry comes to down. We were just discussing a story. Really said this
3:46
story, so I let him set the state for it and go ahead,
3:49
Sammy. Well, Harry. Though it's an adventure that happened last January,
3:52
it is vivid in my memory is if it had taken place yesterday. It
3:54
all began one evening when Mary and I were driving home from a party in
3:58
the Berkeley Hill. Mary your edification, Harry being what Wilson would refer to
4:01
as stand as b W b W beautiful wife. I get a go on,
4:06
sir. We were driving the Packer convertible, but even with fog lights,
4:10
we could barely see the white line in the middle of the road.
4:12
Everything was a grayish blanket, and though it was only a couple of miles
4:15
from the party to our home, we managed among the twistings of all those
4:18
unaccountable streets in the hills to get completely and utterly lost. I didn't dare
4:24
drive beyond the face of a somewhat depressed and anemic snail, And as we
4:28
crawled along, I prayed that the white line would leaders where sandy. This
4:35
fog rather exciting, doesn't make driving exciting, Mary, I can hardly see
4:40
the white line. I am afraid we're lost, like a dream world,
4:46
the kind of night when anything could happen, a night for adventure. He
4:49
sound like gregorys. All I want is home and fed. Oh last night
4:55
too, But tonight I think it's rather gay and rheumatically lost with you,
4:59
and after seven years of marriage, Darling, that's very flattery. This man
5:03
playing the clown in excellent. I wonder who lives around here? This plays
5:10
like that sounds like a professional turn it. Even the street light they're off,
5:14
the power failure. I guess my, that is quiet, the sort
5:19
of night's trouble. Somebody's in trouble. Stop the car, candy, Darling.
5:25
It's the middle of the night. We can't see your hand in front
5:27
of us. Stop the car, Handy. That sounded like a woman's screaming,
5:30
come on, dandy, wait for me, Mary, Wait for me,
5:33
darling. Where are you married? Mary? Mary? I've lost my
5:57
wife in this fog. I thought you might have come here here. Yep,
6:17
I lost my wife and Missus Fogg she didn't come here, did she?
6:20
No me Too'd you lose her? I'd like to learn the trick.
6:24
Look, I have no time to joke. Do you have a phone?
6:26
Nope? Still hoping for one though, Well, how about the house next
6:29
door. Missus McIntosh lives there, get the phone. Thank you, You're
6:32
welcome, well you poor man. Of course you can use my telephone over
6:46
there. Thank you so much, Missus McIntosh. This is no night for
6:49
a young girls to be running around by herself. You had a quaddle,
6:53
of course, No, we didn't, Missus macantish, of course you did.
6:56
I know how these things happened. When I was a young thing.
6:59
I used to be in my she hints, but I assure you police headquarters
7:02
please, missus McIntosh. We heard a scream as we were calling along.
7:05
I stopped the car. Oh, this is Sanderson Taylor. I'm up in
7:11
the Berkeley Hills and my wife just jumped out of my car and disappeared in
7:14
this fog. What fast? No, we didn't, Lieutenant. As we
7:16
were driving along we heard a scream. I stopped the car, My wife
7:20
jumped out and just disappeared. Okay, I'll be over in the patrol cars.
7:25
Where are you? Oh, just a moment. What's the address you?
7:28
Please? One? One four an dry. I'll make it as fast
7:32
as I can, and this fuck I'll be waiting for you. And now
7:35
I'll make you a nice hung of tea and then you can tell me what
7:39
you called about. Mister Tarry, We've been in every hour on this street
7:55
and there's no trace if you're wife. But Lieutenant King, she she can't
7:58
just have disappeared. This she has You're sure you didn't have a row with
8:03
her and she hopped out on you? How many times? So I have
8:05
to tell you that we didn't have a round. Okay, okay, Look,
8:09
mister Taylor, it's nearly four in the morning. I suggest to drive
8:13
to your home. The FOG's lifting a little now. But look, if
8:16
your wife does get near her phone, she'll be bound to call you.
8:20
Or just take it easy, mister Taylor. I'll bet you'll turn up before
8:24
morning. Good morning, Gregorenhood Importers. Mister Taylor, Lord, I've been
8:43
calling him all night. Do you know where he went? Yes, mister
8:46
Taylor, he's down at the dock supervising the unloading of a cargo. Do
8:48
you know the name of the boat or the peer number. I don't know
8:50
the name of the boat, but I think he said pre number sixteen.
8:54
You're sixteen. Okay. If he should call you, tell him I'm driving
8:56
over there right away. And that's what happened, Gregory, and couldn't find
9:11
any trace on it. Guy, Sandy, I wish i'd been home.
9:13
I puw my plane down to del Monte last night. I came back early
9:16
this morning. I must have called you forty times during the night. I've
9:18
been absolutely franky. I have a hundreds all right, Sandy, but let's
9:22
set ashore and get to a phone. I've got an idea. Oh,
9:24
lundberg Wood, you take over the unloading, okay, wo be very careful
9:30
with that Peruvian consignment. I've got a spectral client lined up for those INCA
9:33
headdressers. Right. Come on, Sandy now and let me get this flight
9:41
straight. You checked it all the houses near where Mary got out of the
9:43
car. Yes, as far as we know, As I told the police,
9:46
though it was hard to spot the exact area. We were completely lost
9:48
in that darned claud and your only real clue as to your location was that
9:52
guy who was playing the caninet just before you heard the scream. Yes,
9:54
you say he was a good plan or top notch. I remember that.
9:58
Mary said he sounded like a profession and that's our only leader. Oh,
10:01
here's a phone booth if you have a Nickels family. Sure, who are
10:05
you calling? Harry James is at the Saint Francis. He may be able
10:07
to help us. You mean he might know who the clarenhese is? Sure
10:11
he's really good. Harry will know him. Now, mister Harry James with
10:16
a swim chance? Gregory who? Who? But it's worth trying. Oh
10:20
Harry, this is greg Hood. I know, I know, I must
10:24
sound like the crack of dawn. I'm sorry as I'm in a jam.
10:26
Perhaps you can help me. Well. My best friend's wife disappeared in a
10:31
fog in the Berkeley Hills last night. The last time she were seeing somebody
10:33
was playing a mighty sweet clarinet light nearby. I thought you might know.
10:37
Is there any really good clarinet players living in Berkeley. You do the name
10:43
of Bill Cooper. Huh? You have his address? Harry and Luck Stanley.
10:48
You know is a clarinet play in berkosehas is looking up his a dress.
10:50
Oh yes, yes, Harry. His address is one on nine Modern
10:54
Ways. Much obliged to you, Harry, as I'll call you later.
10:58
We might have in it together. And thanks a lot. You had your
11:03
car hand Sandy shure to it. And let's head out across the bridge and
11:07
pay a visit to Bill Cooper, the sweet clarinet player. This is his
11:22
house, all right? Does it strike a responsive chord? And they know
11:26
it's hard to say in a day time, but this street leads off hogs
11:28
and drive and that's why I ended up last night in the fog. I
11:31
hope that Bill Cooper can help it, so do I. Yeah, I
11:37
heard your sweet clarinet. I just couldn't resist dropping by. You're a musician.
11:41
I play around with the piano a little in an Ameter way. Well,
11:45
come in, come in. I'm Bill Cooper. My name is Gregoryhood,
11:50
and this is my friend Sanderson Taylor. All right, Stanna, Oh,
11:52
I see you have a piano in here. Maybe we could try a
11:54
little jam session sometimes. Yeah. Maybe Are you a professional, miss Cooper?
12:00
I said, just my hobby. I'm a teacher of judo. That's
12:03
an interesting combination, you know. Bet. It is you do is great
12:05
step, you know, give you a feeling of power. Look, Bill,
12:09
I hope you can help you. Last night, around twelve thirty,
12:11
my wife and I were driving near here. We heard you playing to clarinette.
12:15
Yeah, that's right. I was playing at that time, and suddenly
12:16
we heard a weird scream. My wife jumped out of the car to investigaton.
12:20
I haven't seen her since. I'm absolutely frantic. Yeah that's good.
12:26
Uh, what can I do to help you? Well, did you hear
12:28
that screen? Bill, you'd stop playing a few seconds before about twelve thirty?
12:33
You say, yeah, Say, I do remember hearing a kind of
12:35
square. I thought it must be the radio over the professors. It certainly
12:39
came from that direction, the professor. Yeah, that's a maya. He
12:43
lived across the street at one twelve. And then let's say him a visit,
12:46
Sandy. I'm much obliged to Billy. It's the hood. And when
12:48
you're straighten out on your mix up, there wh I come back and hit
12:52
that keyboard. We might not got a couple of hot lakes together. Mister
13:05
Gregory hood, I am glad that at last you have come to investigate the
13:09
house next door. And why should I investigate a professor and my house of
13:13
mystery? Three things happened there. Things I do not understand, lies and
13:18
noises. And last night, when I am in bed, I think I
13:22
hear scream. You don't mean a house across the street to your professor,
13:24
where Bill Cooper, the clarinet player live. No, no, I mean
13:26
the house next to you. It's supposed to be anything, an empty house
13:30
in this day and age. That's a phenomenon I understand. In some ways.
13:33
It just tied up in a estate. He said, you miss thehood.
13:37
It cannot be tould until the ownership is the sight. Well that's a
13:39
mile. Why do you say the house is supposed to be empty. No
13:43
one lives in the hood. But many times I've seen light and movement.
13:46
Dare I do not like it? And one night I think I hear,
13:50
no, no, no, it is impossible. We will check with you
13:54
later, professor. Come on, say this right now. We'll take a
13:56
look at an empty house. That scream. My house looks deserted, Gregory.
14:09
Yes it does stand the front doors lockeder, yeah, yes, but
14:15
the locks old fashioned, and the skillet and he will do the drink.
14:18
I suppose I'm condoning a burglary, Gregory. And I don't think they'll send
14:20
us up the river on this one. Oh, open said to me.
14:28
Come on, Sandy, Gregory, I'm scared supposing well, the house is
14:41
unfurnished. Yes, what is it? Footprints in the dust, A woman's
14:45
footprints leading into the front room. Shut up, look lying by the fireplaces.
14:52
It's Marry, Marry, Marry. Not all right handed, she's breathing.
14:56
Must have been drugs. I run back to Professor Myers and call the
14:58
police and get them to sent an ambulance. Do that, And though,
15:00
before you go, I suggest you take a look by the window. Thered
15:07
bearded man laying on the floor. He's unconscious too. Uh. If you
15:11
look closer, you will see that he's wearing a knife in the breast pocket.
15:15
A knife sit thin up for the hill. Then there, I'm afraid
15:18
we're now mixed up in murder. You'll hear the rest of Tonight's story from
15:33
the case Book of Gregory Hood and it's good dinner and tell you how to
15:37
make a good dinner really great. Just serve that good dinner with a good
15:41
Petrie dinner wine. If you're having hamburger, steak, chopped stew, in
15:46
fact, any meat or meat dish by all means, serve it with Patrick
15:50
California Burgundy. Patrick Burgundy is a hoty red wine with a marvelous flavor.
15:56
Now, if you're having fish or chicken, try serving it with Patrick California
16:00
so Turned. Patri So Turn is a delicately flavored, subtle white wine.
16:04
It's just perfect. And whether you serve Patri Burgundy or Patri So Turned for
16:10
both, remember you can serve them proudly because Patrie is the proudest name in
16:15
the long history of fine wine. Well, Gregory again, you left me,
16:21
Cliffhang, what happened next? That's an easy one, Harry Sandy sent
16:23
to the police and an ambulance while I stayed in that deserted house. Who
16:26
has the ambulance arrived? We rushed off at the hospital with poor Mary and
16:30
taste the card anxiously while the doctor was Then why the devil doesn't me let
16:37
me see your greasy, easy Sandley. By the way, did the face
16:41
of that bearded corpse strike? The response ave cauding you, No, I've
16:45
never seen the solo before. I think I know him. The beard to
16:48
me at first it must be recent, but I'm certain he's a refuge named
16:52
George Renault Taylor. Doctor. She's going to be all right, Yes,
16:57
mis Taylor, She's going to be all right. Can I see her for
17:00
a moment, Yes, but no longer. He's exhausted, Mary, Mary
17:07
Dolly Ollo sanded here. Hello, Greg, how do you feel? Mary?
17:14
Awful? Rather as if I've been trying to rumble with a hurricane or
17:18
your poor dotty Sandy. I may be quite all right, the doctor says,
17:25
I'm sucking from shocks, that's all. Oh what happened Mary? Last
17:29
night? Of me? I really know a grey guy. I ran down
17:33
the street, turned the corner, saw a light in the house, the
17:37
only one that did have a light. The door was open, walked in
17:44
and sting something hidden in the bathroom here, And that's all I knew.
17:51
Told just now Mary, except the squadron squadrons of twinloaded butterflies have been buzzing
17:59
too. Maunderin m h squety. She just sleep greatly. Thank the Lord,
18:06
she's safe. This we'll come back later. That's sir. Hello,
18:14
Aeutenant King, this is Gregory Hood. Oh how do you do? The
18:18
doctor tells me your wife will have to stay in the hospital a couple of
18:21
days. I guess, so I wish I could take her home right now.
18:23
No, I'm not at all sure you'll be able to do that when
18:26
she's well. Mister Taylor, what are you driving at, Lieutenant? I
18:29
may have to book her on suspicion of murder, mister Hood, Oh,
18:33
Lieutenant, are you crazy? No, No, but your wife may be.
18:37
We found her fingerprints on the dagger that was sticking in the dead man's
18:41
chit with the blow on her head, Lieutenant. She was not cold by
18:44
a blow on the back of the hair. That's her story. But I
18:47
just talked to the doctor. He tells me there's absolutely no evidence of her
18:51
having had a blow on the head at all. You're back again. My
19:04
presence is coming, thank you. Professor Meyers. Work is what did you
19:07
find out? It's the house of mystery. There quite a number of things,
19:11
Professor, including my wife and the corps. Your wife and a corp.
19:15
I knew it. It is a house of evil. I also found
19:18
this book, Professor Meyers, was lying on the Missrs Taylor's unconscious body.
19:22
I thought it would interest you. This is the sixteenth sstery book, The
19:27
House of the Mirror of My Lovers. This confirms my suspicion as to that
19:33
house next door. This is a book, a book, a greenware.
19:37
What's a cream ware, Professor Mayer, I think, mister Hood, No,
19:40
don't you, I think so. It's a handbook of black magic,
19:42
a collection of all the most evil and supposedly poking spells. Is this correct,
19:47
my friends? And this book, this, my Devli, is one
19:49
of the most celebrated and horrible of all greenware. As a scholar, mister
19:53
Wood, I would tag you to give this book to the university library.
19:56
As a man, I say, I can do neither. At the moment,
20:00
Professor, I'm study it. Within these worm eating covers lies the answer
20:06
to murder. Driving me crazy sitting around the house without marry being I know,
20:18
I know, did you call the hospital stand that? Yeah, she's
20:21
fine, but the Lieutenant King's still in residence there. We've got to do
20:25
something. Gregor and doing my best while you were driving the children over your
20:27
aunts. I divarged the mirror of malevole from cover to cover, and I'm
20:32
confused, fand there. This case isn't pleasant. In fact, it's very
20:36
messy. We're mixed up in black magic. Black magic slls a nasty,
20:40
vicious, evil mind at work, and it means even worse. Gregory,
20:44
for peach Stake stopped coming on a piano. Okay, okay, I'm sorry,
20:49
Sorry, I didn't mean to yell, Gregory. I know what did
20:53
you mean just now when you said it was vicious and evil and worse than
20:56
that? Well, I was thinking what the police might have made and if
21:00
they realized this was a black magic case. If that scream you heard last
21:03
night was not a death screen but some part of the supu ritual. Supposing
21:07
Mary wandered in and something happened, well, Sandy, wouldn't it be possible
21:11
that she killed him herself? Gregory, you can't believe that. I couldn't,
21:15
but Lieutenant King could, and I wouldn't blame him. What we have
21:18
to get is a confession from whom, oh I know, from whom all
21:22
right. It's a question of how, if only this done, book,
21:26
would Sandy I deserve to be kicked from here to Sacramento. What are you
21:30
burbling about? I got the answer it right here in the book. Let
21:33
me see, and here it is. Listen, I'm reading from page ninety
21:37
six of the Mirror malevolee, how you may make a murderer confess his crime
21:42
in a candle of pure beads waxed. Insert the cuttings of the nails of
21:45
the dead man. Learned it in the presence of the murderer, and the
21:49
spirit of the dead man will descend upon him and torment him until he do
21:53
confess his murder. Gregory, I'm willing to ride along with you most times,
21:56
but if you put me faith in that kind of sudline, that's and
22:00
I think this is going to work. Get your nails clippers. Then we'll
22:02
go out and find a nice white bee white candle. After that, I'm
22:04
planning on playing a hot duet with Bill Cooper, amateur clarinet player. I
22:08
think we may smoke out a murderer. I'm planet you came back, mostefa.
22:22
What do you want to play? We'll let that live. Bill went
22:26
thought from here to remember I whipped up a few weeks ago. You know,
22:29
all said standing Oh yes, Gregory, I'm all said. Okay,
22:30
Bill, let's see where you can go on from here? Right very much
22:45
now, Gregory, yes, standing? Now what's burning of bed? White
22:53
candle with George Renaud's NAO pairing? Stuck down and put it out? Bill?
22:59
Put that candle out, put it out to me? Oh no,
23:02
Bill, we'll hold you. So you're gonna watch the candle burn. It's
23:04
pretty, isn't there. Don't you feel him now, don't you, sir?
23:07
Is the murdered man that's defended the tormented. Let me going, you
23:11
evon tormenting you Bill, as long as that candle burn until you compare.
23:14
You know George Renaud didn't you? Oh no, I didn't can run a
23:18
burn? Bill. It's got a burn right town. Come on, Noll,
23:21
Why not admit it? You and Renault played a black magic, didn't
23:23
you? Oh? Yeah, good it. You admitted before that you had
23:26
a taste for power. Don't you can get it that way? I said,
23:29
Finally, you killed him because cause he would give you more power than
23:30
human sacrifice. I could still that can please you? Did? Bill?
23:34
And when missus Pare walked in on the killing, you strugged her with one
23:37
of those paralyzing blows of the peculiar. The judo then left no mark,
23:41
and you planned to frame her for the killing. You would have pa burnt
23:44
on the dagger. Go in for it, Bill, you can't have killed
23:48
George Burnau's murder spirits has returned, And don't know you never unless you compare
23:52
Will burned candles until you forgot more daylight. Look, but I do know
24:00
what everything Marry Dolly, how you see he's at Sandy gabbers fine and Gregory,
24:25
Yes, you were wonderful, Lieutenant, seems tells you to he saved
24:29
me from a possible murder. Chide for I think you understand how it was.
24:33
Why should you, Lieutenant personally, I think you have a horrid mind.
24:37
I'm just the guy who works on the facts. There this the hood
24:41
got a nice spirit confecton out of Cooper. He keeps saying, the dead
24:45
man call meticin. How do you do it? You good by using a
24:48
four hundred year old book, But Gregory, you didn't really believe in that
24:52
stuff? Of course not. They've gone and horrible, but Bill Cooper believes
24:56
in it. The only way magic ever appears to work is when the victim
24:59
knows about it and believes that what they prefigured with Cooper in the first race,
25:03
or to him for one thing, the fact that he's been an instructor
25:04
in judo. That's what a conference being able to stun Mary without leaving any
25:08
physical trace. But the real print was the scream last night. I don't
25:12
get you, Gregory Cooper said. He thought it was the professor's radio,
25:15
but there was a power of failure in this area at the time. He
25:18
told me, stand it that all the lights draft. That's try if they
25:22
were sure. If Cooper had been in his own house, he'd have been
25:25
sitting in the dark. He'd have known don well that his neighbor's radio wasn't
25:27
working. He lied flastly, and why should an inn man do so because
25:33
he was in the deserted house, led only by candles and improvising on the
25:37
clarinet. He didn't know about the power failure. But that didn't make a
25:41
short case. I have to scare him Intal professions, greig Reydan, you're
25:45
a very remarkable man. You're a very remarkable girl. I thank you for
25:48
saving me from a gas chander. Cool think nothing of it, Marry,
25:52
but I do, and I need you have promised. What is it?
25:55
Man? Whenever we have you to dinner from now on, I'll set the
25:59
table with these wrecks, sandals come handles without fingernails. And for the main
26:03
course, Reglary, we'll have twin moaded butterflies. Greg, that was some
26:23
story. I didn't know you knew so much about black Man. I'll let
26:30
you in on a little secret. Harry. I don't know a thing about
26:32
it. The only kind of magic I know is what my old father talking.
26:36
He did the most wonderful act of throwing a woman in her but it
26:38
never works me. You mean you couldn't master the trick, right, No,
26:44
it requires lots of practice. Oh and you couldn't find the tie.
26:48
No, I shouldn't find the woman. Oh no, But Harry, you
26:52
must know if you pretty good tricks you so no, not one? Greg?
26:56
Come on, Harry, how is it every time I come to your
26:59
house but marvelous meals? And you're no cook a Greg? That's because of
27:03
the Petrie wine. Didn't your old father ever tell you what a good dinner
27:07
wine does for any meal? It all comes best, you know, And
27:12
you know Petri wine is good wine. Why it's got to be Look at
27:17
the long years, the skill and experience that goes into its making. The
27:21
Petrie family has been making wine for generation. Wine making is their heretage,
27:26
a heritage handed down from father to son, from father to son. So
27:33
you can see why the Petrie business has grown and grown so that today the
27:37
Petrie family are America's largest independent wine making. Yes, but making the Petrie
27:42
wine is a family affair, and the Petrie family has every intention of keeping
27:48
it just that. So you know, the name Petrie on a bottle of
27:51
wine is more than a trademark. It's the personal assurance of the Petrie family
27:56
that Petrie wine is an always will be good wife. Well, Grad,
28:03
we've wake particular page of the case book. Are you turning too? For
28:06
next weeks? God? Next week, Harry, I'm want to tell about
28:07
an odd story that trusuplace in Hollywood some months ago. It's in terms of
28:11
noted columnist and extremely garrulous press agent, but me and a very dead accort
28:18
I call the adventure murder in celadors. See you next Monday, Harry.
28:22
You backtag And in the meantime, if you hear of any place for LNT
28:25
or sale, will you let me know don't tell me you're looking for a
28:27
place for lairs. No, no, Harry, It's for a friend of
28:30
mine, a veteran who just got back. Believe me, this housing shortage
28:33
is really hitting the returning service men high. And if anybody deserves the breaks
28:37
they do, I think it's up to us to do what we can to
28:41
see that they get first chance at any vacancyck. Remember, if you have
28:45
a vacancy, lent it to a veteran. Good night. The Case Book
29:07
of Gregory Hood is written by Dennis Green and Anthony Bouder. Original music composed
29:11
and played by Dean Foxler. Gail Gordon plays the part of Gregory Hood,
29:17
and Sanderson Taylor is played by i Gilmore. The Petry Ryan Company of San
29:27
Francisco, California invites you to tune in again next week, same time,
29:33
same station. The Case Book of Gregory Hood comes to you from my Hollywood
29:37
studio. This is Harry by Terrell saying good night for the Patrie family.
29:47
Welcome back, Well as usual, a very interesting case. I actually found
29:52
it a little more scary or creepy the first time I'll listen to it.
29:56
But listening to this time, the one thing that I noticed was that Gregory
30:02
obviously didn't believe in it because he was using Sandy's nails in the candle,
30:10
which obviously has no power in terms of that particular curse. Well, now
30:15
we turn to listener comments and feedback and have this from Kevin. Hi again,
30:21
Adam, a suggestion consider, since there are so many different series running
30:23
here, would you consider mentioning the air date or approximen date of each program
30:29
before you play it, at least as far as they available. I can't
30:32
always remember the time period we're dealing with, and it's interesting to me either
30:34
way. I always love your programs, and again, thank you very much
30:38
for your hard work and good quality. Well thanks so much for the question,
30:42
Kevin. It's not an unreasonable request. I do it on the War
30:47
and because we're dealing with a variety of different programs, but I don't do
30:52
it on every series, particularly this one, unless we've had a bit of
30:57
a jump, if we had lost episodes, then I'll usually mention the date
31:03
of the program. But unless I say otherwise, we're kind of just,
31:07
you know, one week to another, though I do understand losing track.
31:11
You can always go to Great Detectors dot net. Where we have show notes,
31:15
and the show notes do have the deed of the show in there.
31:18
My one concern is if I make that commitment to our listeners that you know,
31:22
and I say every time I do it at the start of the show,
31:27
I'll include the date. If I forget, then I basically have to
31:32
re record the whole intro and I don't like doing extra takes. But I'll
31:37
go ahead and level set now as to where we're at with each particular series
31:42
that we're playing right now. And if folks lose track in the future,
31:47
you can go to Great Detectors Net on Yours truly Johnny Dollar July thirtieth to
31:53
August third of nineteen fifty six, case Book of Gregory Hood June twenty fourth,
32:00
nineteen forty six. Nick Carter November fifth, nineteen forty four, and
32:05
the Lineup December twelfth, nineteen fifty two. And if you ever lose track,
32:09
you can always check on the website because we do keep that information there
32:15
and it may even be in the description if you have iTunes. All right,
32:22
well, then we'll do it for today. We'll be back tomorrow with
32:25
the continuation of the Sea Legs Matter, and then join us back here next
32:30
Tuesday for the Casebook of Gregory Hood. In the meantime, send your comments
