0:00
Speaker 1: On October 26, 1958, CBS Radio brought listeners episode 342
0:07
Speaker 1: of Gunsmoke, The Tragedian. In Dodge City, Marshal Matt Dillon
0:12
Speaker 1: must prepare for Brad Kyler's expected attempt to free his
0:16
Speaker 1: jailed brother. At the same time, a down-and-out Shakespearean actor,
0:21
Speaker 1: troubled by drink and accused of cheating at cards, becomes
0:25
Speaker 1: involved in the town's affairs. William Conrad stars as Matt
0:30
Speaker 1: Dillon with Parley Bear, Georgia Ellis, and Howard McNear. Les
0:35
Speaker 1: Crutchfield wrote the script, and Norman MacDonald directed and produced.
0:40
Speaker 1: We now take you back to the original broadcast.
0:54
Speaker 2: Around Dodge City and in the territory on west, there's
0:57
Speaker 2: just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers,
1:01
Speaker 2: and that's with a U.S. Marshal and the smell of
1:03
Speaker 2: gun smoke.
1:23
Speaker 2: Gunsmoke, starring William Conrad. The story of the violence that
1:27
Speaker 2: moved west with young America. And the story of a
1:31
Speaker 2: man who moved with it.
1:32
Speaker 4: I'm that man.
1:34
Speaker 5: Matt Dillon, United States Marshal. The first man they look
1:38
Speaker 5: for and the last they want to meet. It's a
1:41
Speaker 5: chancy job. And it makes a man watchful. And a
1:46
Speaker 5: little lonely.
2:02
Speaker 6: You know, Mr.
2:03
Speaker 7: Dillon, I sure would feel a lot safer if we
2:06
Speaker 7: had Brad Kyler locked up there in jail like his brother.
2:09
Speaker 8: So would I, Chester.
2:11
Speaker 6: You'd think if he was around town, somebody would have
2:13
Speaker 6: saw him.
2:14
Speaker 4: Maybe he doesn't want to be seen.
2:16
Speaker 6: I'm mighty upset and feeling not knowing if any minute
2:19
Speaker 6: you might get a bullet.
2:20
Speaker 8: In the back.
2:21
Speaker 5: And that's probably the way you'll try it, too, in
2:23
Speaker 5: the back. Now, let's take another look in the long branch.
2:26
Speaker 3: All right.
2:38
Speaker 7: Hello, Matt.
2:39
Speaker 4: Hello, Kitty.
2:40
Speaker 9: Have you caught Brad Kyler yet, Matt?
2:43
Speaker 4: I haven't even found a trace of him, Kitty.
2:45
Speaker 8: Oh, Matt.
2:46
Speaker 4: Seems to me you could make.
2:47
Speaker 6: His brother talk.
2:48
Speaker 4: Not so far. You got him locked up in jail.
2:51
Speaker 9: Isn't that some way of forcing him?
2:53
Speaker 4: Take an axe handle to him, do you mean?
2:55
Speaker 10: Oh, no.
2:56
Speaker 6: Don't write down to it, Miss Kitty. I don't think
2:58
Speaker 6: even that'll break him down. Them collar boys is tripping
3:01
Speaker 6: on you. Brad and Ray's both.
3:03
Speaker 1: They're just a pair of cold-blooded killers.
3:05
Speaker 6: Sure they are.
3:07
Speaker 10: I'm proud of it.
3:08
Speaker 7: Ray sits over there in his cell, brags about the
3:10
Speaker 7: things he's done, admits all of it.
3:12
Speaker 5: He says he'll never stand trial, though, that Brad will get.
3:15
Speaker 4: Him out before then.
3:16
Speaker 10: Oh, he's just bluffing, Matt.
3:18
Speaker 11: No.
3:19
Speaker 4: Brad will make a try, at least.
3:21
Speaker 8: Matt. Oh, hello, Doc.
3:23
Speaker 9: Hey, Matt, if you want to stop a big fight,
3:25
Speaker 9: maybe a killing, you better move in on that poker
3:28
Speaker 9: game over in the corner.
3:31
Speaker 4: Looks peaceful enough to me.
3:32
Speaker 10: No, no, no, it isn't. It's crooked, Matt.
3:34
Speaker 9: I smelled it, so I pulled out just now. And
3:37
Speaker 9: some of the others are getting kind of itchy, too.
3:39
Speaker 9: I think Ben Stoddard's about to call a showdown.
3:41
Speaker 4: Who's doing the cheating?
3:43
Speaker 8: Well, I figure it's that.
3:44
Speaker 2: You see that old fellow over there by the wall?
3:46
Speaker 8: Yeah.
3:46
Speaker 10: With the fancy vest and the soles off his boots?
3:49
Speaker 4: Well, he's marked the.
3:50
Speaker 10: Deck somehow, the way it looks to me.
3:52
Speaker 5: You know who he is, sir?
3:53
Speaker 10: No, no, no. He's a stranger.
3:54
Speaker 9: He claims he's a big-time stage.
3:57
Speaker 6: Actor back east.
3:58
Speaker 10: But I think he's mostly hot air and bad whiskey.
4:02
Speaker 4: All right, mister.
4:04
Speaker 8: This has gone far enough.
4:05
Speaker 4: There it is, Matt.
4:06
Speaker 8: Yeah. You've been.
4:08
Speaker 7: When an all-fired regular pursues.
4:11
Speaker 4: Me, mister.
4:12
Speaker 8: I beg your pardon, my dear sir.
4:14
Speaker 4: Don't high-talk me, you fancy. All right, then, all of you.
4:18
Speaker 4: Take it easy now. Now, what's the trouble?
4:20
Speaker 10: This man's been cheating on us.
4:21
Speaker 4: That's the trouble.
4:22
Speaker 8: Sir, may I ask if you represent the law here?
4:26
Speaker 4: I'm the U.S. Marshal.
4:27
Speaker 8: Yeah. Who are you? I, sir, have.
4:30
Speaker 11: The distinction of being Edward Vanderman, a name with which.
4:33
Speaker 8: You are no doubt familiar.
4:35
Speaker 4: No, I can't say that I am.
4:37
Speaker 11: Then may I inform you, Marshal, that I am the
4:40
Speaker 11: Edward Vanderman who has trod the boards for low these
4:44
Speaker 11: many years before the crown.
4:45
Speaker 8: Heads of Europe. Always to the wildest acclaim.
4:49
Speaker 4: That's very interesting.
4:50
Speaker 11: Twenty-three weeks as Hamlet at the Covent Garden Music Hall.
4:54
Speaker 11: Thirty-one weeks in the unforgettable.
4:56
Speaker 8: Role of Macbeth.
4:58
Speaker 4: All right, but what about this poker game?
5:00
Speaker 11: Well, it's a ridiculous accusation. I had the impression I
5:03
Speaker 11: was playing with gentlemen instead of these coughing, haggling creatures.
5:08
Speaker 8: Let me have him, Marshal.
5:09
Speaker 4: Just let me and the boys take him out back.
5:11
Speaker 6: For just five minutes.
5:13
Speaker 4: How do you know he was cheating, Benjamin?
5:14
Speaker 6: He was cheating.
5:15
Speaker 8: We all know it.
5:18
Speaker 10: Look at these cards.
5:19
Speaker 4: Nick and Cliff and Cornard. Every one of them. He's
5:22
Speaker 4: been working them over for the last hour. His luck's
5:25
Speaker 4: been getting better all the time. How about his table
5:27
Speaker 4: of steaks there? Most of that's yours? Most all of it.
5:31
Speaker 4: You got only $ 5 to start with. All right, then
5:33
Speaker 4: keep it and split it up however.
5:34
Speaker 8: You figure it.
5:35
Speaker 4: Come on, Vanderman.
5:36
Speaker 8: I beg your pardon, sir?
5:37
Speaker 4: Come on outside.
5:38
Speaker 8: Now move.
5:43
Speaker 2: Out this door.
5:45
Speaker 4: Come on, Chester.
5:45
Speaker 8: Yes, sir.
5:47
Speaker 5: All right, Vanderman, I'm going to make this short. We
5:55
Speaker 5: don't like card sharps and darts. You get out of
5:58
Speaker 5: town tonight.
5:59
Speaker 8: Sir, I am not a card sharp.
6:01
Speaker 4: You were cheating, weren't you?
6:03
Speaker 8: I was... Yes, I was cheating. But it was out
6:08
Speaker 8: of desperation, sir.
6:09
Speaker 11: That and a drink on an empty stomach.
6:13
Speaker 8: Marshal, I can't get out of town. Oh, why not? Well,
6:17
Speaker 8: to put it quite simply, sir, I am broke.
6:20
Speaker 4: What?
6:21
Speaker 8: A matter of unfortunate investments, you might say. At any rate...
6:26
Speaker 8: Dodge City is the end of the line. I hadn't
6:28
Speaker 8: the sense. As you can see, I'm not very well
6:32
Speaker 8: equipped for walking.
6:33
Speaker 4: When did you eat last?
6:35
Speaker 8: Oh, approximately 24 hours ago.
6:38
Speaker 4: All right.
6:41
Speaker 5: Chester, take him over to the jail and give him
6:44
Speaker 5: some of that stew that you made.
6:45
Speaker 4: He can sleep on the cot tonight. Maybe we can
6:47
Speaker 4: figure out something in the morning for him.
6:50
Speaker 8: Oh, Marshal, you.
6:51
Speaker 11: Have not only earned my undying gratitude, but I promise
6:56
Speaker 11: I will never crimp another deck as.
6:58
Speaker 8: Long as I live. Furthermore, you may call me Edward.
7:05
Speaker 4: All right, Edward.
7:07
Speaker 5: But you should save your gratitude until you taste that
7:10
Speaker 5: stew at Chester's.
7:30
Speaker 10: Michael, you've gone clean out of your mind.
7:32
Speaker 4: Do you think so, Joe?
7:34
Speaker 10: Instead of running that old fellow out of town, you
7:36
Speaker 10: stand here and ask me to give him a job.
7:38
Speaker 4: Joe, you need a waiter. You said so yesterday.
7:41
Speaker 5: And where else are you going to find one who
7:42
Speaker 5: can fill in his cook if you want to take
7:44
Speaker 5: a morning.
7:44
Speaker 4: Off now and then?
7:45
Speaker 10: How do I know he can cook?
7:47
Speaker 4: Well, he says he can. Try him out.
7:49
Speaker 8: Well, what have you got to lose?
7:51
Speaker 10: My restaurant, maybe. If he was to take a notion
7:53
Speaker 10: to sell it while my back was turning.
7:55
Speaker 6: Oh, don't you worry about that, Joe. Nobody'd buy it
7:58
Speaker 6: once they got a look at all them cockroaches.
8:01
Speaker 7: I got no more cockroaches than anybody else in Dodge.
8:04
Speaker 6: Yeah, but yours is bigger.
8:05
Speaker 4: That's because the food here is better. What do you say, Joe?
8:10
Speaker 4: Edward's waiting outside. You want to give him a try?
8:13
Speaker 10: I can't figure what you're up to, Marshal. Spending time
8:16
Speaker 10: trying to get some stranger a job ain't got much
8:18
Speaker 10: to do with law enforcement.
8:19
Speaker 4: Well, it might have in the long run.
8:21
Speaker 5: He was broke and desperate. That's why he cheated in
8:24
Speaker 5: that card game. And he's still broke and desperate.
8:29
Speaker 4: Now, how about it, Joe?
8:31
Speaker 10: All right, Marshall. Call him in. Thanks, Joe.
8:38
Speaker 4: Edward, come on in.
8:40
Speaker 8: Hey, Joe.
8:42
Speaker 6: Just don't get in no card games with him.
8:45
Speaker 8: Why, that fellow came in from the bottom of the.
8:46
Speaker 4: Edward, this is Joe Carpe, your new boss.
8:49
Speaker 8: Mr.
8:50
Speaker 7: Carpe, it's a dollar a day in grub that he
8:52
Speaker 7: can sleep on a cot in a store room.
8:54
Speaker 8: You, sir, are overwhelming in your generosity.
8:57
Speaker 7: You can start out washing them dishes there.
8:59
Speaker 8: Very well.
9:00
Speaker 11: Unaccustomed as I am to exercising my unique talents in
9:04
Speaker 11: a scullery, I nonetheless approach the task at hand with
9:07
Speaker 11: a high heart and doughty courage.
9:10
Speaker 8: Where is the soap?
9:12
Speaker 10: Does he always talk this way? Yeah, mostly.
9:15
Speaker 4: Come on, Chester. Thanks again, Joe.
9:18
Speaker 8: Just one thing, Marshal.
9:20
Speaker 11: Behind this mask of frivolity, I am eternally grateful to you.
9:26
Speaker 10: Forget it, Edward.
9:28
Speaker 11: Your trust, sir, is not misplaced. I will not disappoint you.
9:33
Speaker 4: Drop by the jail when you get a chance, huh?
9:35
Speaker 8: Let's go, Chester. Come, come, my good man. This way.
9:38
Speaker 12: This way.
9:45
Speaker 4: What's the matter, Chester? You don't look too happy. Aren't
9:47
Speaker 4: you glad he got the job?
9:49
Speaker 8: Well, Mr.
9:50
Speaker 6: but I just suddenly remembered Brad Collier. You ain't forgot
9:53
Speaker 6: about him, have you?
9:55
Speaker 5: Chester, when a man like Collier is gunning for you,
9:58
Speaker 5: you don't forget.
9:58
Speaker 4: It too easy.
10:16
Speaker 6: We got the tray all fixed, Mr.
10:18
Speaker 8: Jones.
10:19
Speaker 6: We can take it back to him whenever you're ready.
10:21
Speaker 4: All right, Chester.
10:21
Speaker 8: Let's get it over with.
10:24
Speaker 6: I swear it sure ain't much pleasure to pick supper
10:26
Speaker 6: for somebody that don't appreciate it.
10:28
Speaker 5: A race cutter wouldn't appreciate anything we.
10:30
Speaker 8: Did for him.
10:31
Speaker 6: Bill don't have to be so mean about it.
10:33
Speaker 5: Being mean is what got him in jail in the
10:35
Speaker 5: first place.
10:38
Speaker 4: Grace, here's your supper. What is it?
10:41
Speaker 1: That same slop you've been bringing every night?
10:44
Speaker 4: Whatever it is, it's what you get. Take it or
10:47
Speaker 4: leave it. I'll take it.
10:48
Speaker 1: To make you two happy if I was to starve.
10:51
Speaker 4: All right, get back away from this cell door. All right, Chester,
10:59
Speaker 4: set it aside. I can smell that stuff clear over here.
11:04
Speaker 10: Well, go ahead.
11:05
Speaker 8: Tomorrow night, I'm.
11:06
Speaker 6: Going to cook you grits. Tomorrow night, I may not
11:09
Speaker 6: be here.
11:09
Speaker 4: All right, Chester, come on.
11:12
Speaker 5: You'll be here a race until the day you stand trial.
11:16
Speaker 4: And then my brother will have something to say about that.
11:18
Speaker 8: Oh?
11:19
Speaker 4: Well, he's had plenty of time to say it. What's
11:21
Speaker 4: keeping him?
11:21
Speaker 6: He'll be here.
11:22
Speaker 4: Don't worry. Before we leave.
11:26
Speaker 10: Town, we're going to get to you, Marshal.
11:28
Speaker 4: You do that, Race. Come on, Chester.
11:31
Speaker 8: You'll find out.
11:32
Speaker 4: This way.
11:34
Speaker 6: I need to tell you that's the honest you and
11:39
Speaker 6: me not ever seen.
11:39
Speaker 8: Yeah. Marshal? Huh?
11:47
Speaker 4: Hey, come on in. What's the matter, Joe?
11:52
Speaker 10: Marshal, I ought to make you pay the loss yourself.
11:55
Speaker 4: What are you talking about?
11:56
Speaker 7: That galled-down card shop he got me to take on,
11:58
Speaker 7: he's gone.
11:59
Speaker 8: What?
12:00
Speaker 10: Took every cent out of the till along with him.
12:02
Speaker 10: Lord knows where he is by now.
12:05
Speaker 4: I got a pretty good idea of where he is, Joe.
12:07
Speaker 4: And I wish I didn't.
12:20
Speaker 3: Here, Matt.
12:22
Speaker 6: Open it up down there by.
12:24
Speaker 8: The end of the bar.
12:25
Speaker 10: I see him.
12:31
Speaker 7: He had had a few drinks before he came in,
12:33
Speaker 7: and he's had more since.
12:35
Speaker 10: But where'd he get the money, Matt?
12:37
Speaker 9: Stole it.
12:38
Speaker 10: Huh?
12:39
Speaker 8: From Joe Carty.
12:40
Speaker 10: Oh, no.
12:41
Speaker 4: After you got him the job?
12:43
Speaker 5: Well, I should have known better, I guess, but I
12:45
Speaker 5: hate to see a man down and out pushed against
12:47
Speaker 5: a wall.
12:48
Speaker 10: I'm sorry, Matt.
12:50
Speaker 11: Well, I'll see you in a minute.
12:54
Speaker 8: A toast, gentlemen.
12:56
Speaker 11: A toast to the royal blood of the House of Barleycorn.
13:02
Speaker 3: Barleycorn.
13:05
Speaker 7: All right, boys.
13:06
Speaker 1: All right.
13:07
Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
13:07
Speaker 4: Edward, the party's over.
13:09
Speaker 8: Oh, dear me. The sheriff of Nottingham. Yes, indeed.
13:14
Speaker 4: Come on, let's go.
13:15
Speaker 8: No, wait, Marshal.
13:16
Speaker 11: What? This is merely a natural misunderstanding which I can.
13:20
Speaker 6: Explain quite easily if you.
13:22
Speaker 8: Will only permit me. Don't bother.
13:25
Speaker 11: But I feel it's the least I can do under
13:27
Speaker 11: the circumstances.
13:28
Speaker 8: Of only one moment, Marshal, if you will listen to me.
13:32
Speaker 8: All right, let's hear it.
13:36
Speaker 11: I accepted my menial role this morning with proper humility, Marshal,
13:41
Speaker 11: and throughout the long day I labored diligently and conscientiously... gratefully, lovely. Then,
13:49
Speaker 11: as eventide drew nigh, in Master Carpe's cupboard, I.
13:55
Speaker 8: Found a bottle.
13:56
Speaker 4: So?
13:56
Speaker 8: I looked, I sniffed, I tasted, I imbibed.
14:02
Speaker 6: And morality and ethics.
14:04
Speaker 8: Were flung through the wind. As I warn you, drink
14:08
Speaker 8: is my weakness.
14:09
Speaker 4: On an empty stomach, so you said.
14:12
Speaker 11: I neglected to add that a precisely similar effect occurs
14:16
Speaker 11: on a full stomach.
14:19
Speaker 8: I'm sorry, Marshal.
14:20
Speaker 4: Come on, let's go.
14:21
Speaker 8: No, no, wait, wait.
14:24
Speaker 12: I was quite sincere this morning when I promised not
14:27
Speaker 12: to fail your trust, Marshal.
14:30
Speaker 8: Nonetheless, I did fail it.
14:32
Speaker 4: There is no excuse, of course.
14:36
Speaker 11: I suppose that I really should face the fact that
14:40
Speaker 11: I am just a bit on the worthless side.
14:44
Speaker 4: I'm inclined to agree with you, Edmund.
14:46
Speaker 7: Mr.
14:46
Speaker 11: Dillon?
14:47
Speaker 8: Yeah, what is it, Chester?
14:48
Speaker 6: Just a few minutes ago, Mr. Dillon, three different people
14:50
Speaker 6: seen him down by the depot.
14:52
Speaker 8: Who? Brad Tyler.
14:53
Speaker 6: He's here, all right.
14:56
Speaker 3: Thank you.
15:14
Speaker 8: What?
15:17
Speaker 10: Who is it?
15:19
Speaker 8: It's me.
15:21
Speaker 4: Oh. Hello, Doc.
15:25
Speaker 5: Can't you find any place to loaf except in front
15:27
Speaker 5: of the jail?
15:28
Speaker 7: Well, with you and Brad Kyle around the prowl for
15:31
Speaker 7: each other, I figure I might as well just wait
15:33
Speaker 7: right here until one of you need it.
15:35
Speaker 4: You're wasting your time, Doc.
15:37
Speaker 5: I can't find a hide or.
15:38
Speaker 10: Hair of him. He's here in town somewhere. Folks have
15:41
Speaker 10: seen him.
15:41
Speaker 4: I'm not one of them, though.
15:43
Speaker 8: Come on in.
15:48
Speaker 4: Chester.
15:49
Speaker 10: Has he got it locked?
15:50
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess so. Chester.
15:53
Speaker 6: Who is it?
15:54
Speaker 4: It's me, Chester.
15:55
Speaker 8: Open up.
15:56
Speaker 11: Oh.
15:56
Speaker 8: All right.
15:58
Speaker 6: Just a minute.
16:06
Speaker 8: Hello, Doc. Yeah, Chester.
16:08
Speaker 6: Sure am glad to see you, Mr.
16:09
Speaker 10: Jones.
16:10
Speaker 2: I've been sitting here with this rifle and jumping out
16:12
Speaker 2: of my skin every time an owl hooted.
16:14
Speaker 10: There are no owls this time of year, Chester.
