following is an accounting of my expenditures during investigation of the Kronin matter. Item
2:51
won fourteen dollars and eighty cents transportation to New York into the apartment of America's
2:54
One Time dream Girl, one time a long time ago. How do you
3:02
do? I'm Johnny Doller. I believe missus Cronin is expecting me. I
3:06
am missus Cronin, and yes, I am expecting you. Won't you come
3:10
in? Oh? Thanks? I did have butlers and maids and such for
3:15
years, scads of them, But since Barnaby passed away, I've just hibernated,
3:22
you might say. Oh, in here, mister Darler, thank you.
3:25
Ten years now, in the same little apartment. As you can see,
3:30
I've just been living like a little mouse. It looks very comfortable.
3:34
Oh, I suppose it's comfortable enough. But oh, Syla, I had
3:38
forgotten you were still here, but not for long, missus crowning, Oh
3:42
no, please stay. We'll have some tea or sherry or something as soon
3:46
as Oh you two, do you know each other? No, I'm afraid
3:52
we don't. Oh, but of course not. How could you, Sylvia?
3:55
This is mister Darla, Miss Blair, mister Dallas here to talk to
4:00
me about well, something or other. I'm not quite sure what is a
4:05
matter of fact, and won't take it a few minutes. If Miss Blake
4:09
would excuse us, sure, go ahead have at it. Well, if
4:14
you'll come this way, mister Dollar, don't you leave now. Sit'll be
4:17
not a chance. I just spotted your bottle of tea I'll have one or
4:20
two with soda if you don't mind what Oh, I see what you mean?
4:27
You young people in here, mister and mister Dollar. You buy any
4:31
chance? Johnny Darling, Oh that's right. A why miss Blake just wonder
4:39
well he is looking at you and brother. I wouldn't be in your shoes
4:43
from a million dollars. No, how about a half million that I'll admit
4:47
might interest me. Well, she after you, Missus Cronam, Thank you.
4:55
Wonderful girl. A born comedian. Yeah, she's a scream What is
4:59
she an actu? Oh no no, she writes things for magazines and things
5:02
like that. Sit down, mister Dalla. She came to interview me one
5:06
time. That's how I met her. I see she wrote a piece about
5:10
my necklace, the Circle of Vires Sylvia Blake. Oh, sure, articles
5:14
about Jem's famous stones jewel robbery her. She's fascinated by the subject. She's
5:19
coming to my party. Why don't you come to my party, mister Dalla?
5:25
Fine, I'd love to. In fact, that's why I'm here.
5:28
Oh, Joel Parker over at Shorty Mutual. It's kind of worried about this
5:30
party, Missus Cronan he's afraid you might invite people like me. What I
5:35
mean, people you don't know. You're a detective in a way. I
5:41
told Joseph how I felt about that. He's not going to send any detectives
5:45
around snooping into things, spying on my guests, wearing the hats in the
5:48
house, not the jewel like that, of course, but it's the principle
5:54
of the thing. Well, wouldn't you have a better time at your party
5:56
if you knew you were safe, mister Dalla. It was at a party
6:00
that Barnaby gave me the circle of fire. Our wedding reception. There were
6:05
over two thousand guests, a thousand of them invited, and we danced.
6:12
Oh, we danced all night, and the necklace was beautiful, and I
6:17
was beautiful back then, true. And then afterward, at four o'clock in
6:24
the morning, we drove through the park and a hansom, just the two
6:28
of us and the driver, of course, and I wore the circle and
6:33
I was safe, mister Dalla, I was perfectly safe. Maybe you were
6:38
just lucky that night. Barnaby was so wonderful, and he could make living
6:44
so wonderful. I don't doubt that he was probably a man who could manage
6:46
things pretty skillfully. He was running two railroads in a bank all at the
6:50
same time. Then, I imagine he had no trouble arranging for your safety
6:54
without even letting you know about it. We mean guards all around. It's
6:57
possible, yes, it is. He was like that. He never wanted
7:01
anything to worry me. All right, mister Dalla, you win, but
7:08
it's only because of one reason. I like you and I want you at
7:12
my party. Thank you. Missus Groning, Oh, you're going to love
7:14
every minute of it. It's up and they had a roundecks our old summer
7:18
place. Joseph told you. I suppose yes he did, Missus Growling,
7:23
and the people I've invited, hundreds literally people I knew the old days.
7:29
Of course, a lot of the moon't come, but you know it was
7:32
strange. So many of the letters came back on deliver Missus Crowning, Oh,
7:38
Sylvia, I didn't hear you come here on the sneaky type. You've
7:42
got a visitor, says he's an old friend. Really well, I suppose
7:45
I had better see You'll excuse me, mister Dalla. Sure ahead, you'll
7:49
Sylvia talk to each other. I brung the bottle in case you're interested.
7:56
Sure, I'm a sort of right. She's on a cloud by herself.
8:00
Of course, some of the invites to the party were undelivered. Those beautiful
8:03
people had a habit of dying young. Say when when who's the visitor?
8:09
I'll guess with you looks like an overgrown leprechn Say his name was Shorty Webber.
8:13
Shorty Webber, you know I know of him, an old time song
8:16
and dance band, among other things. He probably worked in a show with
8:20
him back in those dear dead days. Anyway, he's got an invite clutched
8:24
in his sweaty little palm. Another freeloader, I suppose I am, yes,
8:31
not you. Though you're working your way, isn't that what you're doing?
8:33
One way or another? Meaning a magazine article just in case, written
8:37
right on the spot, attempted theft of the circle of Fire clever jewels.
8:41
Why do you say attempted? I'm working my way, remember, sure I
8:46
remember. But it won't be attempted, Johnny, Somebody's going to get that
8:50
necklace before the weekend is over, I'll bet on it. Would you care
8:54
to name any names? Pick a name off the guest list any name.
8:58
Suppose I pick Sylvia Blake. You're the detective you've dug up and written up
9:05
every big time Jules Theft over the last fifty years. You're bugged on the
9:07
subject. Obsessed with beautiful gems. Fits my personality. I'm rather beautiful too,
9:13
in a brittle and glittering sort of way, don't you think so,
9:18
Johnny. I think he worked pretty hard at that tough act maybe, And
9:22
I think you'd give you a right arm to own that necklace. Going after
9:26
that would really be going for the big one, going for broke, and
9:31
somebody will do it, Johnny. Wait and see. She left a few
9:39
minutes later, with a bottle under her arm and a chip on her shoulder,
9:41
With a girl gone and the Scotch gone. There seemed to be no
9:45
point in me hanging around any longer, so I went looking for missus Cronin
9:48
to say goodbye. I didn't find her, but I didn't find her caller,
9:52
Shorty Webber. He didn't hear me come into the row. He was
9:54
too busy. He was hunched over Missus Cronin's writing desk. Goings or a
9:58
mail. You won't find it there, Shorty, who's all that, shorty,
10:03
And don't try to reach for it. I wasn't gonna, I understand,
10:07
wasn't turning around. Put your hands up against the wall. You got
10:11
me all wrong. I wasn't relax. I would just affiliate stub barrel,
10:15
clip holster. Nice gun belonged to front of my bad business, shorty and
10:20
X con packing a gun. I guess you're Johnny Dollar. She said you
10:24
was here, and I know what you think of mister Dollar, but you're
10:28
wrong. Why Dolly, missus Cronin Jason a friend of mine. I tried
10:33
to get her to marry me once, well, thirty years ago. A
10:35
lot that happened in thirty years. Does she know you've served time in prison?
10:41
She thinks I was on tour Europe and Australia. She never reads a
10:46
paper. Who he is anything? Don't tell him, mister dollar, Please,
10:50
don't you know? It's quite a coincidence, shorty. It was Jules
10:52
that time, a big affair of New Orleans, and you were hired as
10:56
an entertainer diamond braceon, wasn't it, and you were caught call it is
11:01
the only time in my life I've ever done anything like that. And I
11:05
went again, especially not to her. Well, I'm planning to look out
11:09
for at this party. That's why I bought the gun. And is that
11:11
why you were going through a male heir? Yeah, I wanted to see
11:15
who was coming. I learned things while I was doing time. I know
11:18
how the word gets around in a big deal like this. There's a lot
11:20
of wrong guys in this world. Oh, I give it, Shorty,
11:24
what you matter? You know how she is? She's a babe in the
11:28
woods and something like this. My ears be burning or is it some other
11:31
baby? Mean? Not for me, Dolly, You're the only babe I
11:37
ever could see. Oh, Surety, you never give up. Oh do
11:43
you two know each other? Not exactly, but we found we had a
11:46
mutual friend a certain state prison warden found nice shut. He's always doing benefits
11:54
at those places, Dolly, Yeah, that was it. He did a
11:56
benefit there. Oh, well, I'll bet you and do a big well
12:01
you know two minus Shorty. Why they loved him, missus Cronin hated to
12:05
let him leave. Yeah. Well, speaking of leaving, I got a
12:09
shove. Now, don't take a new wood Nichols. It was crazy and
12:15
corny and said the whole idea I guess the sadness of it hit me when
12:20
I was saying goodbye to missus Cronin at the door. The gaiety slipped for
12:24
a moment, and suddenly she was old and tired, and at the same
12:28
time she was a scared little girl. And then she said something strange,
12:33
and the shivers ran up my back. Do you believe in premonition's journey?
12:39
Well, I have a hunch now and then where whatever it is, it's
12:45
the reason I'm doing this, having this party, one last flynn, you
12:50
might say, before it's too late. Oh come now, you're still a
12:54
young woman, missus Cronin. No, I'm old, journey. I've been
13:01
old for years since Barnaby died. We loved each other, so but that's
13:09
not what I mean. I've had this premonition dately. What's sort of a
13:16
premonition that's something awful, something terrible is going to happen to me. Johnny
13:43
dollar is a dollar. This is adjacent prel I manage missus Cronin's trust fund.
13:48
Oh sure, we haven't met, of course, and I know that
13:50
I'm overstepping the ordinary bonds of propriety, but I simply have to talk to
13:54
you. Immediately if possible. Well, can it wait until train time?
13:58
You're going with us up to a party in the at Arondecks, aren't you.
14:00
Yes, I am. But it'll be too late then to make very
14:03
much difference. Well, maybe you could tell me the general idea of what
14:05
you understand. Missus Cronin has authorized you to obtain the circle of Fire from
14:09
the bank and to keep it in your possession until she wears it at the
14:13
party. Now that's right, don't do it. Leave the necklace where it
14:16
is. Why. There's a long story, mister Doller, and it goes
14:20
a long way back. The whole thing is a lot more complicated than you
14:22
realize. Well, I'm beginning to realize it. Just exactly what is it
14:26
you're worried about. I'm worried about missus Cronin Senate From Special Investigator Johnny Dollar,
14:37
New York City to the home office Shorty Mutual and Trust Company, Hartford,
14:39
Connecticut, Assignment the Cronan matter expense account continued Item four A dollar in
14:48
eighty cents taxi to the offices of The Daily Times Career for a look at
14:52
the Morgue files on Missus Cronin. The clipping started with a year nineteen sixteen,
14:58
when a bright eyed, wide eye kid named Dolly McClean danced her way
15:01
out of the chorus lines of a two bit musical and straight into the limelight
15:05
of Broadway. One hit show after another, hits just because she was in
15:09
them, and parties, balls, social affairs, the Dancing Darling. A
15:13
critic tagged it with a name in her first ride up when the name stuck,
15:18
so she danced danced away the mad, crazy years that followed World War
15:22
One, and like everybody else, she lived it up. There were rumors
15:26
of engagements, love affairs. The Baron dis count that one after another.
15:30
Shorty Webber was mentioned a few times, and Jason Prell was in from the
15:33
beginning as a promoter, though a business manager, not as a lover.
15:37
Her friends were mentioned, hundreds of them. Then Barnaby Cronnin came into the
15:41
file Oi Wonder of the business world, the Golden Prince engagement, marriage and
15:48
Barnaby's fabulous gift to his new bride, a half million dollar necklace of diamonds
15:52
and emeralds, the Circle of Fire. Then Barnaby's sudden death, Missus Cronin's
15:56
seclusion end a file expense account item five twenty four dollars and thirty cents transportation,
16:04
hotel in incidentals, and a taxi to the railway station to find the
16:08
special coach missus Cronin had charted to hauler guests to the Adirondacks and to her
16:12
Roaring twenties weekend party. I purposely got there early, but one of the
16:18
guests was even earlier. Is A Dollar? Wait, you are mister Dollar,
16:22
aren't you. That's right? But I don't know, Jason Prell.
16:25
I thought you might come down early to meet the back messengers. Thank heaven
16:27
you did. While I'm afraid I know. I've known Dolly McLean missus Cronin
16:32
for over thirty five years. All that time, I've managed her business affairs,
16:37
range her personal contacts, been like a father to her. Yeah,
16:38
I've read the newspaper clippings. Newspaper stories can be misleading. Sometimes they build
16:45
things up sensationalism. It's true, of course that Dolly and I had some
16:48
quarrels. Who doesn't. In spite of everything, I was still her best
16:52
friend. Go On. I know Dolly nor better than anybody else in the
16:56
world. I know how she's gone down hill. Since Barnaby died, especially
17:00
in the last year or so. And I know this whole idea is the
17:03
worst possible things she could do. Have you tried talking to her along that
17:07
line, she won't listen. She's dead to set on it. I'm hoping
17:10
you can help point out to her how dangerous it is to go off into
17:14
that isolated place where a piece of jewelry is valuable as a circle of fire.
17:18
It's worth of fortune. Somebody's bound to try to steal it. I
17:22
still don't get what you're driving in, mister Prownin, But I just told
17:25
you it's the risk it's involved to home. Why missus Cronin. Of course
17:30
she knows about the risk. She's willing to take it. She doesn't know
17:32
what she's doing. You said something on the phone about her sanity. Are
17:37
you trying to imply that, Oh no, no, no, not yet.
17:41
But she's not well. She burned herself up back in those early years
17:45
and she hasn't much left. The only thing that keeps her going is as
17:48
a crazy kind of belief belief. Dolly believes in people. So I'm mister
17:53
p Yes, of course, But Dolly's hold thinking hinges on it all the
17:57
people she knew back in the heyday, that people she calls her friends in
18:00
her book, They can do no wrong. She lived in a dream world,
18:03
still does, like a fairy princess, but it never really existed.
18:07
Things weren't like that back in those days, mister Dollar. So I've heard
18:11
most of the people she thought of as friends were only trying to use her
18:15
barnaby, and I would block them off, take care of things when things
18:19
had to be done, and let her go on living happily in her never
18:22
never land. And now that's the only land she has to live. Is
18:26
that what you mean? Exactly why some of those friends would cut their mother's
18:30
throat for a tenth of the value of the circle of fire. Those are
18:33
the guests she'll have with their party. Well, I've already been told once
18:37
that somebody will steal at necklace before the weekend is over. Do you want
18:40
to add your prediction. I think somebody will try, and that's all it's
18:42
needed to start that dream world of hers falling apart and to make her face
18:47
things the way they are. May ask you a question, mister Prown,
18:51
Yes, of course. This trust fund you're managing that her husband left for
18:55
just how big is the setup. Barnaby Crownin was a wealthy man's dollar,
19:00
but he had his ups and downs like every business investor. And the capital
19:03
is adequate for her support, but not much more. Is the necklace a
19:06
part of the trust capital. It's her own personal property, Otherwise I could
19:11
have prevented it from being taken from the bank. You have complete control of
19:14
the trust. Yes, Barnaby knew that she had no understanding of business matters.
19:18
He's old, mister Dollar, older than her years, tired. All
19:22
that keeps her alive is her belief in the past, her dream world where
19:26
everybody loves her and protects her, where she's still a dancing turner. And
19:32
if that dream world is destroyed, she'll be destroyed along with it. I'll
19:36
phoned the bank mister Dollar asked him not to bring that necklace here. I'm
19:40
afraid they think I was crazy. Why, because I've got it with me,
19:42
mister Prowne. I picked it up myself two hours ago, and Heaven
19:47
help us, all the convention coach Missus Cronin had charted for the run that
19:56
they had herndacks was arranged with a long isle of individual staterooms in the main
20:00
lounge area. At one end it could accommodate fifty people, but when the
20:04
train pulled out, there were only six of us in the coach, six
20:08
out of the hundreds of friends she'd had in the old days when she was
20:11
in the big time and on top. And out of the six, three
20:15
of us were new acquaintances, people who hadn't known her back when I was
20:18
there, of course, because I'd been hired to be there to protect your
20:22
fabulous necklace. And Sylvia Blake, still playing at tough and cynical, was
20:26
probably hoping for a magazine article or hoping for something. But the third newcomer
20:32
there was the question one, I think there's whole thing is just too exciting
20:37
for words. Don't you think it's too exciting for words? Well, I
20:41
know who you are. Of course, you're mister Johnny Doller, and you're
20:42
supposed to protect those fabulous jewels. And I'm Laura Deane, and I think
20:47
we ought to call each other Laura and Johnny, because after all, it's
20:48
a party, isn't it. Up Till now I was having doubts. You're
20:53
obviously not one of missus Cronin's friends from the old days. Oh no,
20:56
I just met her back there at the station. Well, I talked to
21:00
her on the phone. Of course. She sent an invitation to my aunt,
21:03
who was a very dear friend of hers. Only they hadn't seen each
21:06
other for years, and she didn't know my aunt had passed on over a
21:07
year ago. So I phoned her and told her to missus Cronan, I
21:11
mean, And she said for me to come to the party. She liked
21:14
to meet me, and I wouldn't have missed it for anything. Yeah,
21:15
well, Johnny, do you think they really have champagne and bathtubs like they
21:19
used to back in her time? If they do, it'll get awful wet
21:22
out. There are only six of us to drink it. Oh gosh,
21:26
I don't see how you can call six people a party. Well, the
21:29
thing is, we'll all be in there trying hard. Now you're joking me.
21:33
I'll bet you're fun at a party. Oh, where do you see
21:37
the act I do with a lamp shake? Who did you say your aunt
21:38
was? I don't think I said who. When did they start serving the
21:41
champagne? Johnny? When they see the heights of your eyes? That's cute.
21:45
I like that. Thanks now about your aunt poor Also, she'd have
21:48
loved this too. You ought to hear about some of the parties she and
21:51
Missus Cronan used to go to. Yeah, imagine they used to go every
21:53
place together. Back in those days. The newspapers called them the Siamese twins,
21:57
the Simon Siamese. That was just an expression, Fritzie Morrell. Is
22:03
that what you're saying, that you're Fritzie Morrell's niece? Sure? Did you
22:07
know it, Johnny? No? I never met her. Oh, you'd
22:10
have liked her. She was a lot of fun, loved a party.
22:14
Gosh, I felt. She kept babbling on, and I listened to her
22:18
and tried to figure her out. The chatter was smoke screened underneath it.
22:22
She was cool, sharp and shrewd. I didn't know what she was up
22:26
to, know why she was here, But I didn't know one thing.
22:30
Fritzie Morrell had died about a year ago, true enough, but she'd left
22:33
no surviving family and no niece. Laura Deane was a liar. I hadn't
22:45
seen Missus crownin since we pulled out of the station. She greeted us,
22:48
then gone right to her state. Roman stayed there, and when I saw
22:51
Jason Frell come hurrying from that direction, I could read the look on his
22:52
face even before he reached me. Mister Dollar, please, missus Crownin,
22:56
Yes, go to her at once. What is it? What's wrong?
22:57
She was suddenly taken ill, very ill. Hurry missus n Man. Oh,
23:11
I'm all right now, it's just nerves. I've had it before.
23:17
My doctor in New York gave me some tablets to take when this bottle here.
23:22
Yes, you know what they are, Johnny, Yeah, I know,
23:30
all right. So he does say it's my heart, but he's wrong.
23:36
It's just nerves. Yeah. Sure, that's not why I sent thought
23:40
your Johnny. You have the necklace. Yeah, I want to see it
23:44
now. I'll wait until it's time to wear it. Johnny. I've written
23:49
something here. I'm going to sign it, and I want you to sign
23:55
as a witness. Well, all right, unless you'd rather have Jason prow
24:00
Jason would argue about it. There. Now you signed, they are keep
24:11
it for me. Do you mind if I know what I've signed? Of
24:15
course, not read it if you like. In the event of my death,
24:19
I dally chromin being of sound mind, bequeath the necklace known as the
24:25
Circle of Fire to Sylvia Blanche. Sylvia loves jewels. She'll appreciate it.
24:32
Yeah, I imagine she will. She's not to know about this, you
24:36
understand, because of course it'll be years before she gets it. Oh,
24:41
sure will. Now you'd better try to get some sleep. I'm going to
24:45
and thanks Johnny. There was nothing we knew something. I was heartbroken when
24:51
they didn't show up at the station, all my old friends. But I've
24:56
been lying here thinking, and I've finally get it out. Oh they all
25:03
went on ahead. They'll be waiting at the house. They're trying to surprise
25:07
means, don't you think so, Johnny? I said, yes, I
25:12
thought so, But I was lying because I didn't think so. But she
25:18
was still a dancing darling, and she had that way about her. You
25:22
wanted to protect her. I didn't go back to the lounge. I walked
25:26
down the cart into my stateroom. It was night by then, and the
25:30
cart it was only dimly lit. My stateroom was dark. When I opened
25:34
the door, I caught a bare flash of molben too late. When I
25:44
came two minutes later, I was lying on my stateroom floor blood seeping from
25:48
a cut in my head. I fell in my inside pocket for the bulky
25:51
leather case that had held the necklace. I was gone. There'll be another
26:11
intriguing episode in our story of the Kronin Matter tomorrow. Tomorrow an old love
26:15
and an old hate and violence breaks out at midnight? Join us, won't
26:19
you? Yours Truly? Johnny Doller? Yours Truly Johnny Doller, starring Bob
26:37
Bailey is transcribed in Hollywood, written by Less Crutchfield. It is produced and
26:41
directed by Jack john Stone. Be sure to join us tomorrow night at same
26:45
time and station for the next exciting episode of Yours Truly Johnny Doller. Roy
26:52
Rowan speaking welcome back, while an interesting twist with it actually not being stolen
28:00
from the stolen from the actress's neck but from Johnny. I guess now would
28:10
allows somebody hasn't any about violence against her just to still get the necklace.
28:15
I always imagine Johnny Dollar or somebody who could handle it. This is somewhat
28:21
of a unique sort of type of character here, the ageing starlet. I
28:33
don't think you quite see it as much any particularly not in the light of
28:37
this very sympathetic characterization it may have been if there was something that they were
28:45
more aware of the screen in Hollywood, as the Screen Guild theater those radio
28:52
programs will play from time to time, which adapted movies actually was say it
29:00
up to pay to help pay for a rest home for retired actors and actresses
29:11
who often would have found themselves institute without the home support. At last I
29:17
heard, I believe that at that home had actually been shut down. I'm
29:19
not sort of whether it was an improvement of ratings or less concern from Hollywood
29:26
itself, but we'll find out tomorrow what happened to the Jewels. Be sure
29:32
and listen on Wednesday for part three. Listener comments and feedback received a donation
29:38
from Genevieve of one dollar, lowest donation, but she had a reason for
29:45
it. She said, love the podcast, even love the awful inflatable animal
29:51
commercials. Donated a dollar just for that. If you pretend to send me
29:55
the talking Santa, I'll pretend to get them. I can smell the plastical
30:00
with the Rahio. You do a good job, and our whole family listens
30:03
will donate more as we are able. But I had to send a dollar
30:06
just for the inflatable characters. I will pretend to send them. I don't
30:11
know whether it with some of these congressional debates, you'll have to pretend to
30:15
pay sales tax on the imaginary animals. But thank you. Great response to
30:22
the giant animal commercial. I thank you and PayPal thanks you all right,
30:30
listener comments and feedback, and we have a new iTunes review from the Chimp
30:37
who just simply says, regarding our app, it's the best old time radio
30:41
app I found. Well, thanks so much, Champ. That will do
30:45
it for today. Join us back here tomorrow for a new series, Mister
