0:57
a big thank you to everyone who left some many con notes on Facebook and
1:02
send emails regarding the recent passing of my mother in law. Really appreciated all
1:10
your kindness and understanding. Again, thank you so much from the bottom of
1:15
my heart. Well, we have actually too many lost episodes to go through
1:19
of the Saint. All of the rest of the Mutual episodes of the Saint
1:25
are missing. The Saint left Mutual after May twenty eighth of nineteen fifty and
1:34
returned on June eleventh over NBC in the Adventures of the Saint, and this
1:40
is where the vast majority of existing transcriptions of the Saint exist. NBC during
1:47
this time had a great parade of mystery programs, and most of them,
1:51
whether it's Dangerous Assignment or their reinvention of the Man called X, they're all
1:57
in circulation, and so we are going to have a whole lot less than
2:05
the lost episodes. So here now is the first episode of this new version
2:10
of the Sign for NBC. The title is The Sinister State Sneeze Original Laird
2:16
eight Again June eleventh, nineteen fifty The Adventures of the Scene, starring Vincent
2:39
Price. The scene based on character is created by Leslie Trotters and known to
2:53
millions from books, magazines, and motion pictures. The Robinhood of Modern Crime
2:58
now comes to radio Holly brilliant and tell at Vincent fight the sat Excuse me?
3:10
But is the yes you take him? I don't think so? Content
3:14
really belongs to the bus company? Would you mind if I does anybody mind
3:17
when Paddy Claus comes for Christmas? What I made you very pretty? And
3:21
please do that? Oh? Thanks? But I see, go ahead.
3:29
Yeah, you're a girl of your word. I always knee, especially on
3:32
busses. Why I don't know. I've been a hundreds of doctors. They
3:37
don't know. I even went to a psychoanalyst. That sounds as if it
3:40
might have been a good idea. It wasn't. Why not After a while
3:45
he began to sneeze too, good, Thank you you you. I rarely
3:52
sneeze, though it's all right enough for two. The question is can do
3:57
sneeze as cheaply as one didn't out? So you can stop right now?
4:01
I know, because my boyfriend doesn't sneeze my tea, well perhaps if he
4:05
practiced. His name is Breckenridge. Isn't that silly? Especially think he doesn't
4:10
me? My name is Patty, not at all silly. And your name
4:13
Simon, And the name of the bus is Danieve. And the name of
4:16
the city we're in me or the city you're cuden it's Diamond Templar. Oh
4:23
you're the stage. There's a totally unfounded rumor to that effect. But from
4:28
what I've heard, you're not saying it all. I'm scared. We're on
4:32
a bus. What can happen on a bus except that I didn't mean I
4:39
was scared of you. Please get off the bus with me so that we
4:42
can go see Breckenridge. Why he's scared too, Peggy, Please take my
4:46
word for it. He's got nothing to be scared about. Oh, I
4:49
didn't been scared of you. I'm well Breckonridge is a price side and that
4:54
is a sign And he's scared. Why it's prize fight is called Benny the
4:58
Battlers. Oh and Brecon he's afraid of Benny's the battler. No, nobody's
5:02
afraid of Benny, not even other prize fighters. Oh, we get off
5:05
here, Nan, Nan got okay, lady, thank you very much.
5:16
And uh now, Peggy, what is Breckenridge afraid of? Breckenridge was in
5:38
very nice fielding, don't you say? Did you notice all the poems in
5:41
the lobby. Yes, Breckenridge must love Nate. Oh you guys, mister
5:44
Breckenridge has just left town for the Upper Amazon. Breckenridge. What you're saying?
5:48
I thought maybe it was a bill collector. Wait a minute, he
5:53
is at bragg and Ridge. I don't need one today. Goodbye braggon Ridge.
5:56
We are counting. It has a very fine canted humor. Simon.
6:01
I noticed that you want to make something out of us. Reckon Ridge behind
6:04
yourself. Sinner's going to help her? Yes, yeah, now if you
6:09
want to help speak we're polite to him. Well, I don't mind telling
6:14
you, mister, I'm on a spot. Why don't you stop that.
6:17
I can't help help anyway snainth I got a boy, bennyd the Butler.
6:24
I see Benny the Butler, one of the lousiest middle weights that ever fouled
6:28
up up prize ring. I think I may have seen him fight once and
6:30
knew it. If I remember correctly, he lost. That was Benny.
6:34
Is he the spot? You're in a kind of a way. If you'll
6:39
see my boy in a ring, then you'll know why I'm disturbed. You're
6:42
worrying about his health. Nice, he's healthier than a horse. But there's
6:46
something else. Saints all the big gamblers and kind of putting all that gow
6:50
on Benny. But the night's fight at the stadium, they think he's going
6:54
to win. This is to last. Not even a moron could think that.
6:59
I don't know him out room, so you ain't even know, moron,
7:02
think my boy is tangling with soldier Jones, a very fine box fighter.
7:08
It would be an act of condescension on a soldier's pod even to let
7:11
Benny tie his gloves from let alone fight him. So why is all heavy
7:15
dot riding on Benny? It does be odd. Matter of fact, I'm
7:17
betting on a soldier myself. Is that ethical? It's practical? Otherwise me
7:23
and Benny wouldn't heat. They are two fellers who want to eat quiet Peggy.
7:27
Anyway, is that worried me? These gamblers all betting on my boy.
7:30
Also, the guy who was the boss of his gambling up that I
7:33
have mainly gotten mine is a guy named mister Sweeney. Mister Sweeney. Mister
7:39
Sweeney is a nice, quiet guy who don't look like an harmor fly,
7:42
so he wouldn't harm no fly. But when it comes to guys who he
7:46
is under the impression they have handed him a bad deal, then he is
7:48
murdered. I supposing Benny the battler, don't win tonight between he could hardly
7:53
blame you if Ben he lost the fight legitimately, mister Sweeney eat the type
7:57
guy who was interested in what is legitimate. He likes to and bets.
8:00
So I am on a spot. I can see that. Anybody who win't
8:03
blank and see that. But what can you do about it? Well,
8:05
this was my idea, Breckinridge. I mean asking Simon to come here,
8:09
because if Simon Showdy was kind of interested in your health, Breckon Ridge,
8:13
then maybe missus Sweeney would be afraid to do anything to you, even if
8:16
that he loses tonight, do you say someone, well, I don't know
8:20
what good my interest in Breckinridge's health would do him. I'm not a doctor.
8:22
I'mon. If mister Sweeney gets really mad at Breckinridge and Benny, they
8:26
wouldn't need any glasses. They'd be patronizing the same undertaken fight shit pung.
8:31
But you think that Sween he might hesitate about doing anything drastic merely because I
8:35
knew about it. I don't know, but it's possible. And why don't
8:39
we get to lose my life? Don't be so salvish. Think of Benny
8:43
too, all right, May and Benny's life, and I'll do what I
8:46
can, which amounts to what Breckinridge gives Simon some tickets to the fight?
8:50
Can you okay? Oh, thank you, but but I'm not sure I'll
8:54
be any pretection. Don't worry, that's it. I'll do it to worrying,
8:56
and maybe he won't do any good. But even if it doesn't,
9:00
I want you to know that even if reckoned you're does getting murdered, don't
9:03
say things like that. We'll still appreciated son. If you was giant through
9:18
hexe a taxi. For a moment, I thought you were going right past
9:26
or alone, and I felt like going right past. I don't mind getting
9:28
friendly, just get in. Thank you. Then, as Dick Donald,
9:35
I beg your pardon, well known traders of history, Dona dic Donald.
9:39
You I'm not sure I know what you're talking about. The afternoon around three
9:43
o'clock. What were you doing? Three? Why? I was riding on
9:46
a uh? Don't stop there? You was riding on a what? Buh?
9:50
Yeah? What's the matter? Somebody suddenly dropped that? Lets you stock
9:54
in a bus company? No? And what's the idea riding a bus that
9:56
I had in the cab? Iqual? If I had taken a cab,
9:58
I wouldn't have met peg A fine reason she was following me, Louis.
10:01
I made it easier for her by getting on a bus. There's so much
10:05
roomier than cabs. All right, I forgive thank you Louis perfectly. All
10:11
right? Where do you want to go? The stadium? Go on a
10:16
place to take her? Kyle, I'm not taking a girl there. I'm
10:20
going to see the fight, which reminds me, Louis, I've got an
10:22
extra ticket. Would you like to join me? Who's fighting. Well,
10:24
the main event is Soldier Jones versus Benny the baffler. That you call a
10:28
fight. Benny's gonna get minors, not Benny Breckenriy. Huh, it might
10:33
be fun, Louie, come on with me. Oh listen, a fight
10:35
like that you could smell from new Joys. But all right, thanks Louis.
10:39
I'll mention it and in the future stay off of buses. Yes,
10:41
mother, Benny's dressing room must be up ahead. What are we going to
10:58
do? Sympathize with him before he goes noring? Get did luck and it's
11:01
the templar he'll need it. That's tiggy. Huh. He wait a minute,
11:05
the door open, Benny, don't dope. We got all our doe
11:09
riding on Soldier Jones Breckinridge. I've been thinking with what what's gonna happen to
11:15
my career? If I keep on getting laid in the rizon all the time,
11:18
you can always go back to your truck. Besides, the soldier has
11:22
been making derogatory remarks you see's your night for credit, derogatory remarks about you
11:28
personal a professional, derogatory remarks about I s think so when I get in
11:35
that ring tonight. I am going to bat his ears off. Benny,
11:37
listen to me. First, if you hit him, he is liable to
11:41
get mad at you and maybe kid you. Eh. Second, if they
11:46
should happen to pass a miracle and you should lay him away, we all
11:48
lose that though, Benny, we gotta die for him. I don't die
11:54
for that bum. Benny, don't answer me too quick. Think you know
11:56
what's happening to the price of fresh meat? Come on, it sounds like
12:01
a prolimits over. Let's go, Lily, no canda visit now. We
12:03
better get to our seat. Unless I see you've been at the Battle of
12:05
a happy ear Ol Street. He's in quite a spot, though, Unless
12:09
Soldier Joanes killed him inside the ring, Sweeney is likely to kill him outside.
12:24
Well, here it goes. We got nice seat. Anybody bleeds in
12:28
the ring, we got dry. Queens, you're thinking of a horse ring
12:33
looking at Benny the battle of how wrong am I? He runs night?
12:35
Yes, he does seem to have gone on a bicycle, but how long
12:39
can he stay on a bicycle? We're not falling off on his ears?
12:48
Go forth, run and then he's still on that bicycle and the crowd doesn't
12:52
like it. You must be under the impression that back way the box fighter
12:56
is to run away, and for him it's probably the safest way. The
13:01
soldiers catching up with him. Benny's wind is failing. Oh, the soldier
13:05
just told it in a very pretty left that Benny's bread last. Yeah,
13:07
Oh and a right, oh and another right. Well, Benny, the
13:09
backlambits the temper a slack cloud on his flat seed. The bell sure saved
13:16
him that time didn't save him, merely postpone the execution fifth round, and
13:26
I got an idea, Benny are gonna be around for the sixth. Yeah,
13:28
Benny seems to be looking for the nearest policeman. He's sort of wandering
13:31
around. The soldier is like, hey, I'm goingeve that Benny just threw
13:35
a punt of the soldier set him so yeah, but hey, the soldier
13:41
has just throwing down. Oh this Benny lenders putting the crack of defective that
13:46
show. Benny, and I say this in some blankness of mine, has
13:56
just one Yeah, with the best invisible which I haven't seen. Must have
14:01
been quite a punch. Soldier haven't moved yet. They're working over and in
14:05
the ring come on, I think we'd better visit where we're going into the
14:09
ring. Up we go. Okay, so you see what I've just seen?
14:13
I beg your pardon. Breackon bright boy knocking off the soldier. I
14:16
seen it myself, but I don't believe it yet. Hey, hey,
14:20
I knock Tom out. Maybe I could watch my Korea with one punch.
14:24
I am right on the campage. He ain't even got up yet. I
14:28
think I want to take a look at him. His handlers still working over
14:31
It's very horizontal, yes, Louis. Furthermore, I suspect he needs a
14:35
doctor. A doctor you got a yen for medical attention or something? Correction.
14:39
What he needs right now is a death certificate? Are pretty mop seen
14:56
back there on that rings Ultra Jones dead, a doctor working on him?
14:58
Cops holo. Yeah. The only thing I don't get it. I'm afraid
15:01
I did the odor when I've been over the soldier. Oh, come on,
15:05
in fellows, Peggy, I'm shining. Is everything wonderful? Well,
15:11
maybe it isn't so wonderful the way you were soldiers dead? You mean in
15:16
the clive I knocked him off. No, he didn't die as a result
15:20
of a blow, Benny? What did he die of? Old? H
15:22
wear Benny's gloves, the ones he wore in the ring? Oh? The
15:24
hell? Here where I put him? Oh? Thank? What's up?
15:28
What's the matter of? Say? Some smells funny? See? Come here,
15:31
take a sniff of those gloves. Not too deep a sniff. Okay,
15:37
I don't. I don't smell nothing. Maybe like a hospital. Like
15:39
a hospital is very good. Which you're smelling is ether? Hey? Wait
15:43
a minute, do you mean there was ether on Benny's gloves. The blow
15:46
which apparently knocked the soldier out with a feever one barely grazed the soldier's mouth
15:52
and nose. Therefore, what knocked him down wasn't the blow but the ether.
15:54
He in heel, Hey are you trying to say? I put each
15:58
on my gloves so i'd not the SOLDI out that for the moment saying anything
16:00
about how the ether got there, Benny, What I am saying is that
16:03
Sojah Jones got a strong dose of ether into him. Add that to the
16:07
fact that he was strenuously exerting himself, that his heart was under his train,
16:11
and you're totally simple. He died of ether. There's ether on your
16:15
gloves. Benny. Hey, mister Breco, Benny, I just keep your
16:18
mouth shut here, even to the police. Well, Benny, he looks
16:37
so sad. When the cops put the arm on it. If they can
16:38
make their case stick, you'll look sadder. Still, Breclick didn't look so
16:42
happy in either. It's not hard to understand one way or another. Beggy,
16:47
she was sneezing like a locomotive with a hiccup, and saved her from
16:49
answering question. Yeah, all of which doesn't add up to the strange fact
16:52
that you've instructed me to drive you for the happy hours night Glove. It
16:56
happens to belong to a man named mister Sweeney loi, the head of the
17:00
syndicate which bet on Benny in Tonight's Pride. Oh, mister Sweeney ought to
17:03
be a very happy man. We're not going to watch him rejoice. What
17:07
are we going to watch him do? Pay off? Perhaps I have been
17:25
in classya dumps without even leaving my house. The club here is a friend
17:29
for Queeney's real business. I imagine Stee the man at the door totus his
17:33
office was behind the band stand. Oh, Breckon Ridge, Oh hi sight
17:41
well, well, Breconridge counting money in large and luscious quantities, and in
17:47
Sweeney's office. Well this is here, you mean it's nothing. It's a
17:51
lot of nothing. I thought you were afraid of Sweeney. Well why should
17:56
I be afraid of him? Benny won, then he may have won a
17:57
non stop trip to the chair. Wreen, you give you that money.
18:02
That is a private affair and the three step no respect for privacy on occasion
18:07
recognage. If you would bet on Soljier Jones as you claimed you did,
18:10
you'd have lost. You wouldn't have acquired any money or a suspicion of murder.
18:14
They don't tried it. I suppose you didn't really bet on Jones to
18:17
win. That would make you quite a likely candidate for the wired chair,
18:21
or you won't sun you out at all. I'm saying it as bluntly as
18:23
I can. You could have smeared that ether over Benny's gloves. Did say
18:30
that? No? It possibly didn't realize it either. I ain't a chill
18:33
he put the ether on Benny's gloves. Wasn't necessarily intending to kill him.
18:37
Ether is now was fatal, but the circumstances made it so. There's a
18:41
little too much either for one thing for another, somebody failed to allow for
18:44
the effect of strenuous action on the soldier's heart. Look, thank you,
18:48
you're just raising a breeze. I'm on the clear. Yeah. Would you
18:51
like to try saying that again and making it sound convincing? This I don't
18:55
have to take anything from you want to say, I'd have to shout either.
18:59
You're trying to hide guilt here. I'm getting a Can I be of
19:03
any help? Hello, mister Swainey, we've already met amused him a temper.
19:07
I'm Louis letting him meet you both. You're saying breck and rage.
19:10
I would say, I'm getting out of here and quick. We'll call it
19:14
terribly upset or frightened whatever else. I wouldn't know you were out of the
19:18
fight tonight, So I was you were one of the soldiers handled? True,
19:22
I find an amusing to act in that capacity from time to time.
19:25
Did you get any last tonight? I'm afraid not course, soldier. It's
19:30
lucky he didn't bet on him, isn't it? What makes you think I
19:33
didn't? A little bird told me. Little birds are so delicate. They
19:37
really should be more careful. And I'll be sure to tell them that the
19:40
next time we meet. How does it happen that you bet on Denny?
19:42
Let's call it whimsay, Shelly, Benny didn't belong in the same ring with
19:45
your man, but maybe the odd's interesting. We'd also put Breckenridge on the
19:51
spotect Benny had lost. Benny didn't lose. Breckinridge therefore delivered. Let us
19:56
say off the recon mind you that Breckinridge is delivered? Yeah, come on?
20:00
Must you rush a ways? I don't care for the atmosphere around him.
20:03
It's Sweeney. What's the matter with it? Like the ether on Denny's
20:07
glove, it's mister Sweeney. It's overpowering. It's a template. I know
20:23
you're making like a detective, but it's visiting Pegy really necessary. I dis
20:27
assume that answer that it's bashful. It's a small house. Hey, she
20:33
must live alone. Get the snark out of your voice. Looing either I'm
20:37
not sure you want and you vote for me? Huh, but you see,
20:41
Louis, Peggy may know something. Sure, only what about we better
20:45
change the subject or ring your doorbell again? No answer? Come on,
20:52
disappointed? No, I don't know we may still find it tonight, were
20:55
Reckonage's apartment, possibly helping him count his money. Breckinridge and answering door about
21:12
tonight neither. Oh, come now that we give the lad a chance to
21:15
hide the money? Yes, unless he took it on the lamp. And
21:19
on earth did you pick up that expression the radio? I didn't think word.
21:25
Try another apartment. Get into the building anyway, Thank you, somebody
21:32
the apartment is down the corridor. Yeah, that's convenience. I hate climbing
21:34
stairs making forced conversations. I've been shot. I've been shot inside the apartment.
21:44
Open him behind. That does breckon Ridge not very pretty at the moment
21:52
that bullet did a jump shot in the temple revolver in his right hand,
21:57
so wish I that's what it's supposed to be. His hands loose on the
22:00
gun. I think that's the way it always is. After all, the
22:03
guy is dead. Yeah, but nine turns out of ten there's a parismatic
22:07
reaction. At the moment of death. The hand grips the gun more tightly
22:10
instead of loosening, which means there must be a back door to this apartment
22:15
off the kitchen problem. Yep, there it is, which explains that the
22:21
guy's gun and gripping the gun side. So there has to be a back
22:22
door to your pot door. The architects ought to hear about it. The
22:26
murderer had to get out before we got in, and the murderer was here
22:29
a moment ago. I don't get the fight. Why does the bother making
22:32
it look like a sewer side? Look cleuly, we were supposed to think
22:33
Breckenridge had been responsible for the soldier's death, became conscience stricken because he hadn't
22:38
intend to kill the soldier and shot himself. But his hand was loose on
22:42
the gun. It's just logic, all right, So logic and you went
22:45
to school together. Breckenridge was a crook. Also, I suspect a black
22:49
man of it. It almost saves him right, like I always say time
22:55
about his hoist with his own patad. Hey, what is a petad?
23:00
Derek? You've got the proper ball wrong. But you solved the king well
23:04
for a dopha hindu, it I have? Yeah? Yeah, you said,
23:08
well, I read that in my comic book, and that tells us
23:11
who murdered Dojah Jones and Breckonage Oh speak for yourself. John, maybe it
23:15
tells you, but come on, but if I know my mysteries, you're
23:19
going to tell me not for another five minutes. I know the five minutes
23:36
playing up, get mister templar. But maybe you could sneak in a little
23:38
explanation now, maybe save some time later. Well, louis the problem all
23:42
along is then who put the ether on Denny's glove? Denny Breckenridge, Peggy.
23:48
But then you said turn about, and I knew who would really put
23:51
the ether there? Well, never mind is dramatic force, Just just keep
23:55
going. The person who put the ether on Denny's glove is a court.
23:59
Yeah, I shouldn't known for a minute, fact that I thought maybe I
24:03
was gonna find out something. But I didn't have to worry at the Hours
24:07
nightclub. But why are we here? They don't keep corpses. You're probably
24:11
not. Besides, you can arrest the courts. Oh but you see the
24:15
courts looking guilty. I'm going home and beat my kids. Maybe that way
24:18
I'll stop feeling. In Syrian, look at the joy Sist desert, of
24:25
all the little tables covered up with their little white shrouds. Why didn't I
24:30
shut up I've did the light showing Tweeney's office. Yeah, I wonder should
24:36
be. So we go home, we'll knock, come in, come in
24:41
you sounds quite friendly. Wow, well, mister Temple, good evening.
24:47
It doesn't have any friendly game of cards with my alibi. My friends and
24:51
I can see you alone. Mister Tweeny, very well. M had begun
24:53
to blow me anyway, boys, get going. You've been playing cards all
25:02
evening with him. I hope perhaps you considered it a waste of time,
25:04
but I don't. They testified her having been here all evening. If called
25:10
upon, they could do nothing less. But why should they be called upon
25:12
to furnish you with an alibi? But what Breckinridge's murder? Nonsense? He
25:17
committed suicide. How did you know? A little bird told me, the
25:21
same one who told you about my betting on Bennick. I'm afraid that Breckinridge
25:26
was the little bird who told me about that. He forgot to tell me
25:27
about the murder. Though Breckinridge committed suicide, I'm not talking about Breckenridge's death.
25:33
I'm talking about Soldier Jones. Oh, mister templar, I will readily
25:37
admit I earned a considerable sum by his unfortunate demise. But the ether was
25:42
on Benny's gloves, if you remember, and I was never near those gloves,
25:47
true, all of them. Nevertheless, you are going to die for
25:49
Jones's death. You know you're becoming unpleasant. However, you've just admitted I
25:55
couldn't have tampered with Benny's gloves. I have, but mare I mentioned one
25:57
word to you, turn about. All right, you've mentioned it, and
26:02
you should be more interested because it led me to realize something. Sojia Jones
26:06
died because there was ethersmeared all over his mouth and nose. We've all been
26:11
assuming that the ether got there from Benny's glove. True, remember the word
26:14
turn about, mister Sweeney the poet. The ether got onto Benny's gloves from
26:18
Soldier Jones's face. I think the hour is late, very late for you,
26:23
because the ether was on the soldier's face first. When Benny hit the
26:27
soldier, he got the ether on his gloves. But it was the soldier's
26:30
face that smearred ether on Benny's gloves, not vice versa. But how would
26:34
the soldier get ether on his face first? From a towel used by his
26:38
handler on him, and you were his hand in mister Sweening. Just as
26:41
he started into the ring, you wiped his face and deposited the ether on
26:45
his nose. His momentum carried him into the center of the ring. Then
26:48
he took a poke at him, and that was that. It was Yeah,
26:52
Breckinridge realized what you've done. That's why you paid him off after the
26:56
fight. But you knew that he's black maided you for the to be your
27:00
unpleasant life, so you murdered him. That's your guests, and you can't
27:03
prove I got Sojiah Jones, I've got the townel. You're lying, I
27:07
burned it. Louis will make a nice witness. Let's go chat to policemen
27:10
about all this. No witness you're pointing, which isn't polite with a gun,
27:14
which is insane. Yeah, very little to lose and a lot to
27:17
gain by killing both of God, wait a minute, let's talk this over
27:19
like chivilized. Jake. I'm sorry, I can't oblige. Therefore you shouldn't
27:23
have bringed your head. You better get his gun. Totally a pleasure,
27:29
and I had better take a look at the closet there. Peggy who's sneezing?
27:37
Time? Save two? Anyway? What are you doing in that closet?
27:40
I was, and so Peggy, so I hadn't a client it so
27:56
maybe I could overhear a clue. I was very brave of you, Peggy.
28:00
Well, I thought I kind of owed it to Britain Ridge. Did
28:03
you love him very much? No, Bern he was a very friendly fellow.
28:07
You are friendly too, Simon, also cute, and you did catch
28:11
missus queeney. I haven't way to kiss you, Louis is Pete? Who
28:21
you haven't knee? I kind of like this, who wants to knee?
28:23
All right? You are you my snee? Didn't I? However, as
28:33
Louis mentioned earlier, I am hoist by your bazard. You have been listening
28:45
to another adventure of the Saint the robin Hood of Modern Crime, and now
28:51
here is our star vincent Prise, Ladies and gentlemen. Our cast tonight included
28:56
Andre Gould, Larry Dobkin, hal March, Peter Leeds, and Barney Phillips.
29:00
This is Benson Price inviting you to join us again next week at the
29:04
same time for another exciting adventure of the Saint. Good Night the Night script
29:36
of the Saint was written by Louis Bitters. The music was composed and conducted
29:41
by Ron Dexter. The Saint, based on characters created by Leslie charteris as
29:45
a James L. Safier production and is directed by Helen Matt Linton. Price
29:51
is soon to be seen in the Universal International Picture Curtain Call a Cactus Creek.
29:56
All you Saints fans will be glad to know the Saint comic. Sure
30:00
I'm saying at all news, then you're an out, Sir Doug Gourlay.
30:11
Next Sam Sade, then Summer Symphony on MBC, Welcome back, while a
30:19
nifty solution and a nice start over NBC. And the one thing that's interesting
30:25
is that the character of Louis would become a recurring character on The Saint.
30:33
And this kind of goes along with the movies where the scene would always have
30:37
some sort of rough and tumble character as his sidekick. And Louis appears in
30:45
several episodes throughout the rest of the season, of course, played by Lawrence
30:51
Dopkin. All right, well, now on to some listener comments and feedback,
30:55
and we start with Lourie, who writes be regarding episode four teen O
31:00
one, the Saint the Case of the Blonde who Lost Her Head. I
31:04
love this episode. Vincent Price sounded like he was laughing through a good portion
31:08
of it, and I couldn't figure out if it was the accent of the
31:11
butler or something else that made him giggle. I think he had a good
31:15
deal of fun on this program, as well as in some other radio we
31:22
Our app Extra is a Columbia Workshop episode with The Saint that you'll hear later
31:27
on this month if you have the premium side or the app and really having
31:33
some good times. Of course, he was in with Graucho Marx in that
31:37
production, so comedy I guess would come kind of easy. On the other
31:44
hand, a comment from Joel who says, Adam, I'm sorry to write
31:48
that I'm having a hard time sticking with The Saint. The fanciful attempts at
31:52
humor seem like the writers are working so hard to be funny that the plot
31:57
of the story is secondary, trying to be so sophisticated and clever that the
32:01
character comes off as cliche. I think that Pat Novak now has a rival
32:07
for an OTR detective show that leaves me cold. One man's opinion, Well,
32:12
thanks so much, Joe. I appreciate you always providing an honest feedback
32:15
on how you feel about the series, and certainly not every show is for
32:21
everyone. We also do have a comment from Joe, who writes, I've
32:28
been listening to your program for half a year of better I really enjoy it.
32:31
When I started listening via my phone, I downloaded a bunch of older
32:35
episodes, not realizing how often you put new shows. So I've been playing
32:38
catchup ever since and having a great time doing it. As of this email,
32:43
I finished Pat Novack great stuff. I'm looking forward to catching up to
32:45
The Saint as I really enjoy Vincent Price, but have never heard this radio
32:50
program. Well, I hope you enjoy it when you get to it,
32:52
Joe. All right, Well that will actually do it for today. We'll
32:55
be back tomorrow with Crime and Peter Shane, and then next Monday join us
33:01
for the Saint. In the meantime, send your comments to Box thirteen at
