in the city. Finally reduced to no more than a confused squatterus sink of
2:40
exhaust fumes a nameless marvel of shallow people milling around looking for nothing but a
2:46
chance to count each other out of a lousy But this is no exception,
2:51
because when I finally decided to quit, to get out of it, to
2:53
go someplace quiet and relax, I found myself instead in a hurry all over

again. I was on my but it was very public building on Spring Street.

6:08
again. Yeah, woman, God happened her? Great? Who was it?
6:15
The lady in black? Where do you get that? It sounds?
6:16
Coin? What did you get that it sounds? Do you mean it's a
6:19
story about it out now on the LA Journal. Yeah. I'll be back
6:24
down five minutes and listen. Get a hold of the reporter who wrote that
6:28
story and hang on to him. I want to talk to that's why punk.
6:31
How do you like that? Yeah? Deal of a hambling murdered with
6:33
an eyewitness to pub it only the police department is a laugh out sit in
6:38
town to know come on still through this time to buy a newspaper, find
6:41
out what's going on Matthis was boiling as we let the Morgan headed the police
6:53
say quarter. We made one step on the way to pick up a copy
6:56
of the journal, which he read as that drove kind of smoking well illustrated
6:59
to station was in the cars issues double place working files play here is exclusively
7:02
because the journal tonight she was an eye witness when a mass killer purposely swerved
7:06
his speeding car into curvaceous blond beauty Via Hamlin outside he lover's Brentwood home late
7:13
last night. If that's journalism, a last might bay braiding. You're a
7:15
cop, not a critic. Yeah, but I got taste. A lady
7:17
in black will appear at police headquarters at nine o'clock to reveal life desnumber and
7:21
description of the murder and the shocking death with the police have already labeled accidents.
7:25
Will not come on my teller. Sorry for Matthews, because the way
7:28
things were breaking, the vera handling deal was essentially become one of those involved
7:30
schoolgirl affairs. But nothing goes according to the book, And I was glad
7:34
I never got a letter. Howard was none of my business. All I
7:38
wanted to do was drop Matthews off, get away from the whole thing and
7:40
try to forget about it. That when we piled up behind the waiting squad
7:44
car at headquarters, the ganger nike for cos I was breaking the fairs.
7:46
Don't give you is your witness going to show it's kind on the fut worth
7:51
a lady. I know, I didn't. I don't know what. I
7:54
wouldn'tess till I rot it from the channel. It was a dirty praise,
7:57
I am, I haven't. You're an All the time I have a few
8:00
guys want to keep off like a journal squirt in the line. They just
8:03
make it tough. Don't blame them up. He run up. I'm ala
8:07
they blame him, you know as well as I do. The journals picked
8:09
up that witness right here, kept to running rap until they have time to
8:11
break the story. Well he shouldn't let it drawn, you know. Guys
8:15
like that usually hang them so after the damage is done. A perfect time.
8:24
I've had enough today. Matthew's besides nobody in city Hall by my jack
8:26
the night out of side and goes to the corner where one of the reporters
8:39
told me that the green saidan had had a lady in black hands, the
8:43
weather, tired of shots, had gotten my way clean. So that to
8:46
think about it, I drove back to Hollywood and try to double scotch and
8:48
a quiet bar that didn't work. Half hour or later I ended up in
8:54
my office with vera Handlin's letter open on my desk. He closed with fire
8:58
ten dollar bills in a souvenir force got from my face called Moon's Point on
9:01
Highway one oh one, hanciled across the back of the words I think this
9:07
plason troubled Dave Brussel. I don't know why. Maybe it was the memory
9:13
of the girl's face in them all. Oh maybe it was a stack of
9:16
wrinkle ten's and my desk that made me do it. At whatever it was,
9:20
I went to my car, drove out past Santa Monica, and it
9:24
took me an hour to get the Moon's Point on Highway one oh one,
9:26
an isolated huddle of grimy filling station, rickety s, fixed cabinato, cotton,
9:31
weather beaten lunchcowder, and bar squatting beside the highway. I pulled up
9:35
the parking lot and went into the bar where the soft of the point name
9:37
Moon's Points met me thrown himself. It was round taiale and soft as a
9:45
lump of green cheese. But then I do for Michi Dave who Brosso want
9:50
to see him on business? But why business? Okay? Who at bruscos
9:56
here out in came number four there stupid? Now you can got that back
10:01
there if you want it. But I don't think they'll have much time for
10:05
it. Why not the ladies paper adge is coming in the La General at
10:11
all. I got much lighter nears in that farm was then Yeah, my
10:22
name's Baggett. Hi didn't sign ask him for Dave Brasco. Well, I
10:26
think you're a comment. I might be able to do your little favorite.
10:30
You got a Ryan begging, and it's just it don't seem to be much
10:33
love lost between you and Brasso. I'll tell you, I believe it A
10:35
night for nine and two for two. See I used to be a driver
10:39
for Dave Barsso and yesterday I got can turn out pull off my truck of
10:43
fire for no reason at all. Oh, so I've been sticking close.
10:46
I'm just waiting for a chance to play him back. And I've been finding
10:48
out things, things you might well president see how to fight. I'm not
10:56
down to drag out argument with that. They were a hambling girl last night
10:58
just an hour so fur she was went over. She included seeing another woman.
11:03
What's that cool? She was found getting in front of his house.
11:05
But you waited up and that's not I know why he's hanging him outround here?
11:09
Also why it ain't going to do him one good? I got hold
11:15
hold it. Yeah, well that's what I'm doing. A number four him.
11:18
I gotta get out of here. I at plenty to tell. But
11:20
so when you're finished in there, come on over behind his breewack of filling
11:24
station. I feel that you've got reason agree with running back into town will
11:28
help you. So they got a witness, you've already told it. Wait
11:31
a minute, somebody outside here. Yeah it's right. I want to see
11:35
Dave Brotho and mister Boso was pretty busy right now, mister, I'm not
11:39
too busy to see me. Oh you cat, you know you might there
11:43
coming to reporters a scraam. You look, mister Bosso up at a spite
11:46
of business. Some other times, I mean after it skipped time to keep
11:48
her witness and putting a finger on him and he was slipping. Wait,
11:54
who are you? What your doe name? Smaller private detective. I'm here
11:58
because Vera Hammler wrote me a let today. Yeah, I want to get
12:01
bost for something minutes. Well you don't want to talk to this guy,
12:03
don't you? Okay? All right, soldier, I'm on in going to
12:13
see me. I take a good look. Well, okay, so you're
12:20
big bressing. I came up to run over somebody and kill him, not
12:24
even getting into a car. Or let that one go by it? Children?
12:28
Was that in my office? But you staying it wanted something to look
12:33
into and that this is a good place to start. You have the fight
12:37
was about last time? Right? You do find things out, don't you?
12:41
That's my business? Well, maybe you know who this lady in black
12:45
here in the paper is what you're gonna tell. Maybe i'd even know who
12:48
was jumping up the side to kill a night and shut her up? You
12:52
mean somebody come on and brought let's say, closer to the truth here allowed
12:56
the act here? For instance, Buller wanted me to come to this something
12:58
because you and step off hold up here, why that doesn't concern business?
13:01
Sure? And when a girl act finatally gets in a way that business.
13:05
He's run over by it is. That's the way you work, buzzing on
13:07
the same things sold here, and I don't like it. I was in
13:11
love with vera hammer. Maybe you're trying to use that and nail me in
13:13
a frame. Maybe you're a sneak, that stinking loud weather. Maybe you
13:18
didn't get any letter from Ver at all, So get out of here and
13:20
think up a new one. The series are getting way ahead of your butter
13:24
whose weather jerk? I said, get off too. I take that back
13:31
for Hans the Soldier, and you can get more of the same anytime you
13:33
wanted it. Seventy seven months street. That's a head trigger left for two
13:41
hundred pounds a shoulder behind. It fled me out of the door in prot
13:45
of my back and the gravel. It's talied. My interview with him as
13:48
zero, with one minor exception. I spiked one former bag. It had
13:52
some basis and tact for a story. So that's myself off and made for
13:56
the rear, the deserted filling station where the grease back should There was nobody
14:01
around. I waited to see in his fawn and Then I stooded wide around
14:05
the out court and looked in at the steely window at the bar. Stepper
14:09
was there with his nose and a beer glass, had no baggage. I
14:11
stepped the building quietly, found nothing but indignant spiders and dark corners, and
14:16
decided to try the grease blake again on the back door of the bar opened
14:20
and the Moon came out with a flashlight and a pair of rubbish. It
14:24
was halfway to a rack of can when he froze like a bird dog with
14:28
one foot in the Airly Macri slash light stabbing at a man's hand hanging out
14:33
over the edge of a shallow ditch. Good further, there's somebody laying the
14:39
beach. Yeah, I wonder I couldn't find him, the bagger with a
14:46
knife in his back. Now with our star Gerald Moore, we continue with
15:09
the second actor from Apollo and Tonight's story. Thet's wuk out his death quietly
15:24
hardened the hand of the edge of the ditch. The wheezing, pudgy circle
15:26
known as Moon was already worrying less about why murder was spoken his feet,
15:31
more about what the violence saying the truck driver was going to do. To
15:33
his roadhouse. Physics, as usual, didn't make the listening Big brought through
15:37
that Monday Stiple Island. He continued the too and the trouble summers. I
15:43
got a mos a butt like, but I charrange is going to do this
15:46
week? Wait a minute, morning, what troubles are you talking about?
15:50
Rosso and Tipple? I mean, what is it? Come on? Speak
15:52
of it? Maybe important to me and the law the bag it here.
15:58
Maybe if you're we died a little ahead of her time? Who what,
16:02
mister Tope? Sure I am, and we don't have time for that to
16:06
we moan here you're gonna talk that well, okay, okay, okay,
16:11
you didn't know any hand drop? All right, we'll make it fast.
16:15
Set up. What if it means run by din he's been taking Bacher cuts
16:26
off on us one on one ever had and sometimes it's the weaver playing back
16:30
and banks and sometimes just Slopp the hard dragon. But all its trouble double
16:36
Brusso can't prove is that it That's the reason for Wanda strippers and the meeting
16:40
Dad here Stip was supposed to get the proof. The guy going to the
16:44
connic to mind, Oh that's buscoid I had enough from out going. It's
16:49
time the car cops good rough sucker. They brust those out the punt by
16:56
no more than forty seconds. So I I ran step my car. All
17:00
the dust is hires are kicked up. I figured I had an even chance
17:02
of catching up with him before he got back to Santa Monica. And it's
17:03
a heavy traffic. But I thigured differently. When I had one hand on
17:07
the door of my car, I had to company. Said, so,
17:10
I'm holding a gun. She was standing someplace behind me, and when I
17:15
did his toe, she moved around in a white, cheerful arc until we
17:18
faced each other across the chunk of dark knight. It revealed only two things.
17:22
One she was holding a gunmant there was no mistaking her. This was
17:26
a lady in black. I wait a minute. I'm sure we can talk.
17:32
Okay, now what, No, whoever you are, you can wait
17:38
a minute. I get it. You're afraid something little job to seal pressure
17:44
sept for Bresso. Huh, what are you taking? Routine on his blackmail
17:48
would be very specific. A mystery witness shoes a lady in black who almost
17:52
gets to the police to take a killer almost so she could scarce that killer
17:55
in the Jenna's flame of mind when next day meet. In other words,
17:57
baby, it was all an act of pressure player on Dave rot though.
18:00
Now it's time to collect, do I go on? You just do what
18:03
I see You've just been around and walk and think a little. Think about
18:07
the pistol shops that you neglected to mention, which somebody took at me.
18:11
Well I almost went to the police, or did I do that my also
18:14
for the frame of mind, it's possible now the one strug you don't make
18:19
much sense standing here, I'm away from back off quickly for a car that
18:22
was nuzzling a high heights near the farther side of the roadhouse. So I
18:26
knew that any move I intended to night had to be done right then.
18:29
And there must know just as much, because that was when the gun she
18:32
held that mad enough to stop spitting my room, I still for grappled with
18:37
my feet, then pactically followed my way across. It doesn't uncomfortably out of
18:38
chopp rapped to the shovel of a line of fresh cans, all of which
18:41
kept me to card placement. It's trying to do nothing more effective than the
18:45
squares had a pair of teasing terror lights, kind of grooms to them that
18:48
we're already working out of sight. Didn't have well, well, you know
19:07
the drivate detective again once at this time the Broso stipple is in. Oh
19:12
that's funny. No, I don't think so. I only think you're funny.
19:15
The panic model Moon and I have been watching you cone that gravel out
19:19
of there assition for the keys. You couldn't catch the chatter, but she
19:22
certainly made you look stupid, And just so you don't go on looking that
19:26
way, don't bother playing so wide. I had about Brousso being in here
19:29
either, you see, I know you know he isn't. It won't work,
19:33
sunny boy. Maybe a little pressure will. I've done it. I
19:37
don't bend easy models. Also, I don't happen to know where Brosso went.
19:41
But just so nobody gets two upsetters quick to the gun. Maybe we
19:45
have to go back over the good bar the chat Moon's expecting me. Sorry,
19:49
just cold you're there. It won't do once the cops start pouring in.
19:55
Incidentally, it makes your turn out to play dumb. I mean Ernie
19:57
Packett being very good out in her bag. Stephen, Yeah, okay,
20:04
I know about bags from Broadco. I said, I heard you. Mm,
20:11
nice night, Mama. You know typically you're making a big mistake.
20:15
I think Brasco can't play off anymore. He said, I was protecting him.
20:19
I worked for Dave Brasso tillion. If he knocked off a couple of
20:22
people, and I'm not saying it has it's got nothing to do with me.
20:26
What's done. It doesn't include the girls, the difference, what atmosphere
20:32
she's living on, bad time right now? Any way to look at him?
20:34
Why? Because what she knows, because of the way she handled what
20:38
she knows, all that gap in the papers. Now she's lucky. Those
20:41
three shots that were JNA It only came out of a pistol and could have
20:45
been a howid serve considering the advance? You know that she gave he moan.
20:48
What the cops here yet five minutes ago? We don't worry they will
20:56
now, Mama going to be hey, hey, it's private detective, Come
21:02
out of it. What's up around Here's stip or nothing? Nothing at all?
21:06
Where are you going? Seventy seven Market Streets, drop though Produce Company.
21:11
I think it's where both your Boston. The lady and black are going
21:14
to get together, and what gives you that idea? A hunt? Just
21:18
a hunt? Good bye. Rosso Produce Company was a half a block of
21:30
colligated mental warehouse crossed behind a white loading lamp, which at two am bustled
21:34
with enough nor these fresh vegetable business to turn night. Is the day when
21:38
I was out of my car the worlding electric can on my way in the
21:44
same side of letters trace caught a cage market spectre. I kept wondering how
21:48
a guy gouln't outfit like this single handed could have possibly made the mistake I
21:51
figured was his. I stopped wondering when I faced had been selling my heart
21:55
that can tough horse the inside of the cage and yelled at me one of
21:59
them when I'm busy minute out her. Oh that's isn't here? That shot?
22:07
Yeah? Yeah, twenty one up, rush right, that's not in
22:11
his office, and they set out I'm not sure who is? I'm not
22:15
sure you want cop out private perspective with expresser count five? Help who just
22:21
ten? Oh I didn't rain the My fuser is now theirs hand? Lady
22:26
in black pay yeah, keep it down. She's sit around for twenty minutes
22:29
before she's got talking to me. Not a bad looking doll. All right,
22:33
all right, now where you send it on? You got your ten
22:34
parts. I'm going just a minute. Where you're shutting my back. Used
22:40
to be a warehouse. They've got a real private artist there. The probably
22:42
touch up there, the run, probably right thanks. Its warehouse turned out
22:51
to be an ugly huddle of puttering at the edge of a deserted cobblestone alley
22:55
quietly died lead except for a flicker of lightsman open door. Inside it was
23:00
the dark and as quiet as the lining of a frock coat. So I
23:03
sat there and in front of a gottment. Was no surprise when I told
23:07
you that I didn't want to be interested that I meant that now I was.
23:11
I'm shouting, who are you? One thing? A private detective named
23:14
Philip Marlow and my other guy who is still working for there. I ham
23:18
on you were working to do that's right, but not swinging in the bag.
23:22
She never saw where I ham on children at first place, with all
23:26
this lady in black rasid that was certainly a small caut there was my sister.
23:30
So that has told me only about being a pretty meant to run around.
23:33
She was getting on it, so you added back to a only hit
23:37
and run accident and decided to pose. Was a surprise, winnes So the
23:41
third brouss. I would try to pick you off in the villain stuff is
23:42
sister's kidd if you look through it quick stack Blaso just turned that line off
23:49
in there coming out, and I'm if you want to help people you want,
23:57
I'd better be right. She moved one slow step at a time,
24:03
talk the long thing, triangle of light, the open wear has to stood
24:07
the grusty. But that's crying, said I shoulder hoos to the right hand
24:11
and my hand on the back of my next part of the crawl. I
24:15
know it was not going to do, but wait stop right hand. Was
24:19
there a girl named the hemet friends of heaven. The girl about how much
24:27
it was only a sudden splash of light that I'm taking it with a pistol
24:32
raised the name of the back of Frank of time one's head. I needed
24:41
yet Toma, honey, he and step around on the same team as far
24:45
as just a concern to hear that proto Yeah, I heard you, then
24:49
super chew my future. I don't know he's the one to ask about that.
24:56
Why why did you do it? They stayed by. I did it
25:00
because she caught me up my place, called me talking to my weather.
25:03
You work for wether for the guy who was wrecking our Yeah, please,
25:11
I don't know what I was doing. You was going back to you.
25:12
That tells you what you're talking due double cropping. That's up. I've got
25:21
something to finish. Well. A guy who was just what it isn't even
25:36
on the city payroll, did all right tonight telling how about the story we're
25:44
putting a deadline and a photog and said, yeah, we worked for daily
25:47
papers. You've been holding up in that where house with my ma every for
25:49
a half hour. Now, what is a how bad of sipples wore?
25:52
The world's nothing that's just scratched or I wouldn't say you ain't hurt, but
25:56
the story I have to wait until i'm donald headquarters. I haven't got it
25:59
all myself, lieutenant, your kid door. I got lots of the time,
26:02
pointless. It happened money simple killbul billah Hammlon underneath packet got killed the
26:06
lady because he finally was fucking and he killed Brackett because he was a fight
26:10
back at now chill, but Lieutenant tonight, I got something less than love
26:14
for this gentleman. Enough christ hey ll come on, Miss Hamlin's over there
26:17
all right? Look well before we had enough for me to say, I
26:21
wasn't see appointed. What do you want to cross the sleep? I mean,
26:23
what's what's the point he made Lieutenant calling the shots when he was flying
26:29
Follen or in other words, when as years I'm tired tomorrow and we can
26:33
talk that. Come on, well please, okay, lot of something like
26:37
this. Back at Moon Points, Sipple told me how lucky the lady in
26:40
black List only three shots was thrown at it. And he has no way
26:44
of knowing how many shops and pro had a boy unless you've got he's proven
26:48
himself. Irans just had a smoke out plane, which was an inspiration to
26:51
me because knowing Sippl was a liar, improving it with two different things.
26:55
So you led him to the way out and while miss Hamlin he had gone
26:57
so ross. You're so right and good night listen like good night Tennant's good
27:04
night film, thanks mam, and and what my questions? Uh huh,
27:17
but not undivided room, one way, another night prot I guess so now
27:26
that Simples Corton let you as am I supposed to feel a group. I
27:32
don't know, baby, Maybe that's what's a story about revenge. All the
27:37
prominence of a smoke breaking when you're positive is justified. Figure. And I've
27:52
been job's tired when it started with st up with the city in the aimless,
27:56
milling mob of shallow people, always angry. Where a fuck that made
28:02
it move? But now as I go through the quiet, empty downtown street,
28:07
but the clients time to talk about it, sister, it would have
28:10
never done anything but nice. I stopped thinking about those money grubbers I bought
28:17
me, said about the ones like there. All the people out over the
28:19
world sometimes get in trouble because other people won't realize the world is not the
28:26
same the virs, the ones keep in mind. That was when I decided
28:33
that I was only wait fire, not worth much better. All I needed
28:37
was a good, nice place, So I went home and got it.
29:00
The Adventures of Philip Marlow Bringing You Raymond Chandler's most famous character, Gerald Mooreppa
29:07
Houston, directed by Norman McDonald. Strift is by Robert Mitchell and Gen Levits.
29:11
Seatured in The cast were Lynn Allen, Bonnie Phillip, John Dayner,
29:14
Jack Griffins, Prolly Bear, Edward Bellrier Byron Kanes, Hugh Thomas, and
29:18
Bill Welly Beecue. Jennet Matthews is played by Larry Dobson. The special music
29:22
is composed and conducted by Richard Urrant. Be sure and be with us next
29:30
week. When Philip Marlow says welcome back, well we're missing the closing line
29:45
to preview next week's story. And this has probably been the most beat up
29:52
in terms of sound quality. Philip Marlow episode we played, but still nothing
29:56
compared to some of the lower quality Nick Harr or Johnny Dollar episodes. Even
30:03
but anyway, here's what the preview would have said this time. She had
30:07
hair spun from a red sunset, skin as smooth as warm honey, in
30:11
a generous mouth that laughed without moving. She was beautiful except for cold green
30:18
eyes. I know Gerald Moore would do it better, but at any rate,
30:22
nice twist at the end with the lady in black kidding the murderer wrong.
30:30
And of course we have after yesterday, we have another day of Larry
30:34
Doopkin. If Louie had been in this week's episode of The Saint, we
30:41
would have three straight days of Larry Dopkin, and I guess it's worth noting
30:48
how in demand he was inconsistently Man from Homicide from nineteen fifty one, Philip
30:55
marlow from nineteen forty nine, and episodes of The Saint from nineteen fifty all
31:00
with regular recurring roles from mister Larry Dopkin. Now on to some listener comments
31:07
and feedback regarding episode fifteen twenty nine, The Open Window, Ryan rits in
31:15
when he uttered the words you're a liar, it always sounded like the crack
31:21
of a whip, and I definitely like that about the way Gerald Moore plays
31:33
Philip Marlowe, because usually there's a bit of calm and sort of evenness throughout
31:41
most of the performance, but then there are those moments when Marlowe is absolutely
31:49
fierce. It's just wonderful characterization in that way. Another comment, Sean says,
31:56
love his opening line and it is a probably one of the most memorable
32:01
openings in all of the Golden Age of radio. Well, thanks so much
32:06
for your comments and feedback. We will be back tomorrow with Nick Carter,
32:09
and be sure and listen next week for another episode of the Adventures of Philip
32:14
Marlowe. In the meantime, send your comments to Box thirteen at Great Detectives
