1:22
my review of Champagne for one, and then on Sunday I'll be writing
1:30
my take on the telefilm version of Death on the Nile. I am thinking
1:38
about cutting back to one article a week so I can focus a little bit
1:42
more on the sequel to All I needed to Know I learned from Columbo,
1:46
All I needed to know I learned from drag Net. But we'll continue to
1:52
think about that. But we're going to take a listen today's episode of the
1:57
Lineup. This one is titled The Cuty Calling Coulportchasi. This was the one
2:04
episode long, so let's go ahead and take a listen. Wriggly's Spearmint Chewing
2:15
Gum refreshes you. Wriggly Spearmint chewing gum gives you real chewing enjoyment. Yes,
2:21
for chewing enjoyment plus refreshment, it's Wriggly's Spearmint Chewing Gum. The lively,
2:27

2:46

3:24
How are you, Missus Cramer? Oh? Better things good as new,
3:28
And you see the stage from here, this would be fine. I'll
3:30
be upstairs then. Yeah, like missus didn't I His name is Crime,
3:37
isn't it. That's right? You know? When he came out the house
3:38
tonight to pick me up, and it's so nice. I can't think of
3:42
him as a police officer somehow. Oh dear, that wasn't the propertiest thing
3:46
to say was don't worry about it. We've had two other cases like yours
3:52
this week, missus Cramer, at least something like yours. The other two
3:54
women just had the phone call, though, well, they were lucky.
3:58
I wish that's all I had. The only one who's actually seen him.
4:00
I'll know him again if I see him too, I'll tell you that much
4:03
right now. Oh all right, that's the officer I had before, isn't
4:09
it. Yes, that's sergeant Carter. Oh yes, I have your attention.
4:13
Please, People out there on the other side of the wire in the
4:15
audience room, may I have your attention? Please? Thank you. My
4:19
name is Carger, Sergeant Pete Carger. I'll explain the line up to you.
4:24
Each of the suspects you will see will be numbered. I'll call off
4:26
the number, their name and charge. You have any questions or identifications,
4:29
please remember the number of side of the prisoner as I call his name the
4:32
end of each line. When I ask for questions or identifications. Call out
4:35
the number if you're sure. You're not too sure. The suspects have e
4:39
mailed the questions I asked. These suspects are able to get a natural tonal
4:42
voice, so then I pay too much attention to the answers, as they
4:45
often lie. All right, bring on the line. I'm on. Boys
4:49
over at the end of the stage, spread out and stamp facing the screen.
4:56
Answer your sides. Look straight ahead, long way to the back of
4:59

oh long time. We're arrested with anybody, William Yeah, Lewis Barnes.
8:03
Yeah, any relation to you? Sure, my kid, I'm just
8:24
looking for you. Then this is famous spot anybody no luck? At least
8:28
came up from the stats office, and I have some other things. EMO
8:30
is about the same and all of them. Guy calls up, won't give
8:33
his name, asks the girl to meet him. He uses a lot of
8:35
bio language, threatens descriptions. Aren't too close. It's pretty dark. She
8:39
couldn't be wrong. You find out mister Desmond's maiden name a Rachel Balager.
8:43
I checked it with Ruth Forbes. I never heard of each other. Neither
8:46
one of them knows Kramer. Missus Desmond worked out of the Paranis agency on
8:50
sixteenth Street, and Ruth Forbes handled by an aupore called the fair View.
8:54
He Shearlan's models. You know who doesn't. Yeah, and this bird's having
8:58
a lot of fun and we aren't even close to him. Better cover all
9:01
the agencies that handle these girls and tell him what's up? Right? Oh
9:03
well, I'll take this. Oh I'll have missus Cramer look at the Moneyhow
9:09
she's still here in my office? When Pete comes up showing up? Yeah,
9:16
I don't How long is it going to be lieutenant. Oh ten minutes,
9:24
yeahs fye. I hope you don't mind me using your cane. No,
9:30
not at all. Hi, Hi, Pete, I remember missus Kramer.
9:37
Oh sure do? How are oh sergy? Oh yeah, remember where
9:41
I saw that picture? Oh, calendar year before last. I've seen you
9:46
before the other day. Still working it then, I mean posing for calendars.
9:52
I'm still a photographer's model. When I get a call. I played
9:56
those voice recordings back from missus Kramer. Pete. She didn't recognize any of
9:58
them. I wish I could be more help. I know i'd recognize his
10:03
voice again, the same as I recognize his face. Oh what an awful
10:07
person. Just off. Oh, we're glad he didn't do any worse than
10:09
he did. Oh, I guess I screamed so much and made so much
10:11
noise. He was pretty be caught right there. I've been modeling off and
10:15
on ever since I was sixteen. He Lord knows, I've had my share
10:18
of wolf calls and cranks and smart boys. But when I got that phone
10:22
call, I thought it was just an other one, although the language he
10:24
used was pretty wrang. But tell me, miss Kramer, have you thought
10:28
of any possible way he could have gotten your phone number. I just don't
10:33
know. I really don't. The agency wouldn't give it out. They're very
10:37
strict about things like that. They have to be me an't you. I
10:41
can still hear him saying you're a pretty good looking girl, aren't you.
10:43
That seems to be his opening remark every time said the same thing to the
10:48
other two. And did he have that awful music playing in the background,
10:50
Yeah, right down the line. Try to make a date with him.
10:54
When they refused, he told him they'd be sorry, But he didn't make
10:58
a threat good with either one of them. Why do you suppose he went
11:01
after you, missus Braymer. I guess I was pretty rude to him on
11:03
the phone, not that he didn't deserve it after the kind of language he
11:07
used. It's the only explanation I can think of. He just walked up
11:11
to you when you were getting into your car and the parking lot. You
11:15
hadn't seen him in the store that day at all. I never saw him
11:18
before in my life. I'm sure when he talked I knew he was the
11:22
same man who'd called me on the phone the night before and asked me to
11:24
go out with him. What do you say? He said, you think
11:28
you're pretty smart, don't you? And then he said I'll teach you,
11:31
and he started hitting me around. You try to hit him back? Oh,
11:35
I tried to get out of his way. I'm pretty tall, but
11:37
he's quite a bit taller. He's over six feet you now, may I
11:41
borrow a cigarette? I'm off? Oh sure, Oh, thanks, Oh,
11:50
thank you. H Oh. It's possible, but a little out of
11:54
line in a case like this to think that you've never met or seen him
11:58
before anyone. I'm almost positive. I can't say for sure because I meet
12:03
so many people all the time, but his face was entirely unfamiliar to me.
12:07
In his voice too, of course, tall, dark, thin,
12:09
about one sixty. Oh, I'm very nicely dressed, kind of conservative.
12:16
You've been married how long, missus Kramer? About four years this July.
12:22
And what does mister Kramer do well? Dog travels for consolidated engineers. He's
12:26
an engineer. Oh, he's an attorney. I have to ask a personal
12:30
question here, missus Kramer. Understand it's strictly to get an idea about this
12:33
thing, and i'd appreciate an answer. Since you've been married, have you
12:37
gone out with men other than your husband, I mean in a business way
12:41
or something like that. Why do you ask me a question like that.
12:46
We're just trying to pin down the reason this man called you and I asked
12:48
you to go out, and was apparently so incensed when you refused him that
12:52
he attacked you in the parking lot. Are there an ask tree? Others
12:56
are married, aren't they? Missus Desmond's been horse for three years with Forbes.
13:01
A single works as an airline hostess. Now I understand we don't want
13:05
to pry any of person. That was when I go up with someone else.
13:07
He knows it's sometimes necessary when a buyer comes into town. I see,
13:13
well, thank you for answering. Uh, have you ever seen this
13:16
man? No? How about this one? No? No, I don't
13:22
think so. I want to take your time. Well, I just don't
13:28
know if he had a hand. No, I but you aren't sure?
13:35
Well no, I guess I'm known. Okay, how about this man?
13:41
No? Definitely, Okay, Pete, let's pick up this one and see
13:48
what he has to say. H Oh, what is it? Quime downstairs?
13:52
Oh? Well that's about all, missus Kramer. We may want to
13:56
talk to you again in case we come up with something. Oh well,
14:00
I had my phone number changed. It's four two three nine now the same
14:03
exchange. Yes, taber uh huh, tabor four or two. Okay,
14:09
if you don't mind, we're going to put a man with you and your
14:11
family for the next few days to keep an eye on things till we get
14:13
this cleared up. Oh well, we hardly think you'll come back and try
14:16
to get at you again, but if we don't want to take any chances
14:20
either, and we don't want you to be frightened by any policeman you see
14:24
loitering a bar. I see, well, goodbye, then I sure hope
14:28
you get him, so do we. Thanks for all your trouble, mister
14:31
Climmer. Hi Ben the money pee anything new now, routine bench worn out
14:54
for this costas and failing the register got him. Man Asher picked him up
14:58
this morning. Gosh doesn't claims he's been out of town. Just get back
15:01
last night and check it out. So far it stands, let's hold him
15:05
today. You want a sandwich? Yeah? Oh, what did Freeda have
15:09
to say? Afreid's on vacation. I talked to doctor Rourke. He says.
15:13
The guy's following a pretty clear pattern here. He only picks on models
15:16
or girls have had their picture in the paper, been seen in public.
15:22
Hey, that one we had two years ago to practically the same thing.
15:26
He had a yen for telephone operators. Yeah, Missus Desmond, Missus Kramer,
15:30
and Ruth Forbes reported the cause. Missus Kramer didn't report hers until after
15:33
she'd been beaten up. The language he uses when he talks to them,
15:39
you know, some woman just wouldn't be bothered reporting it at all. They
15:43
might tell her boyfriends or husbands, but that's about it, you know,
15:46
telling how many he's called? H He's so there's a different operation. How's
15:52
that been? Rourke thinks this bird's building up to something, might kill the
15:58
next girl if he has a chance. Charlie's oh yeah, just coming here,
16:07
Lietenant, Yeah, okay, yea three climb, better hold it up,
16:15
Just get another complaint, no names, Adelaide. How the receptionist at
16:18
Universal Television station, she played it smart, it looks hot now? Was

Helpful, refreshing, delicious. Now back to the lineup. Are you Adeliite
17:45
Harvey? Yes, I am police Miss Harvey. My name is Guthrie.
17:48
This is Sergeant Cogan. I how you do there? You did? He
17:52
well, not so much when I was talking to him on the phone,
17:56
But now after I've had a chance to think it over. Gosh, the
18:00
officers who came up and told me what he did to that other woman did
18:03
he hear the bed, Oh, she'd be all right. We'd just like
18:07
to get a few things straight, Miss Hobby. Sure, terrible, terrible
18:10
things he said to me. I told the officers everything I could remember.
18:12
Yeah, we have the report, Miss Hobby, and I just want to
18:15
follow up on it a little. Uh. We'd like to get this burden,
18:18
and anything you can say tell us about him is going to help us.
18:22
A little shaky, I guess it might seem funny to you. I
18:23
don't know at all. I mean, I know he can't hurt me talking
18:26
on the phone, but I don't know. Well, tell me, do
18:30
you think he'd be able to recognize his voice again if you heard it?
18:33
Oh? I think I would. I don't know sor the god. You
18:36
know. When the call came in, at first, I thought it was
18:40
one of the boys downstairs kidding me or something. You know, he talked
18:42
nice at first. When I asked him who it was, he wouldn't say,
18:47
just sort of brushed me off and said he'd see me around and he'd
18:51
like to take me out. And I said I'd have to know who he
18:53
was. We coughed. You know, did he mention any names of people
18:56
that you might know. Oh no, I knew it was in England.
19:00
I mean one of the boys downstairs or something. When he started to insist
19:02
on seeing me tonight, that's when I remembered reading about the other phone calls
19:06
and the paper. So I told him i'd seen him. It almost made
19:11
me sick the things he was saying and all. Yeah, that was music
19:15
in the background. Yeah, weird things. What kind of a mass?
19:18
I could hear him plainly? Not all the time. Music was sort of
19:22
echoing, scratchy. Then I got the idea he might be holding a handkerchief
19:26
up over the mouthpiece. Does that sound possible? Oh? Sure? And
19:30
the call came in about four excuse me please? Sure? Taking for a
19:33
reception? Yes, this is Adele. Well just a moment on too,
19:40
Jenny. Right, A call came in about four. Yes, i'd just
19:44
come back riding a croke. Where do you get your cokes? Here's a
19:47
machine at the end of the hall. Anybody around the machine when you were
19:49
there? I don't remember, I don't think so. The lobby of the
19:55
Elsworth that's where he said he'd meet you. Yes, seven o'clock. I
19:57
told him i'd be there. You did the right thing. Maybe we can
20:02
get our hands on him. Yeah, I hope. So there ought to
20:04
be a law against a man calling up like that, there is Did you
20:08
have a model, Miss Harvey? No photographic works something like that. No.
20:12
Wait, I'm not a professional, but the station used my picture for
20:17
publicity last week, miss TV on the billboard up room. Yeah, that's
20:21
me to give me a Miss Harvey, Miss Sergeant Kwine. Sergeant Quine will
20:41
be sitting in that chair next to the pond. Yeah, and I'll be
20:44
in the chair right and back. I don't know anybody who comes up to
20:47
you. We'll pick up. I suppose I have to go through with it
20:51
now, all right, clin you can go ahead and you you think you'll
20:55
show up? We hope he will. You can go out and sit down,
20:59
now, can I? Oh? All right? Here goes nothing.
21:03
You over a couple of minutes, Hi, as it look. Two couples
21:11
at the bar, another couple of one of the booths man sitting at the
21:15
end of the bar doesn't answer the description. How about the diningroom is filled?

Crocketts at the entrance with Murphy. Okay, keep your eyes open.
21:22
Hey, what let me have paper? Huh? Oh? Sure? Alice
21:32

21:57

22:03
at me ever since I sat down here. He's standing over by the desk.
22:07
Now, tar one in the gray suit. Oh yeah, you see
22:11
him? Yeah? Doesn't he look suspicious to you? He sure does.
22:15
That's Sergeant Asher. Alright, bye? What do you think? Then?
22:37
Eight thirty, that's like we struck out. Yeah, he'd be here,
22:41
but I know he's going to be here in sink. Maybe he got Scan's
22:45

22:51

23:55
About his face, I'm trying to think, give is something up?

a television set for a girl named Adelaide Harvey the thirteenth, the last month
24:52
Harvey, I don't know. I'd have to look in the book so I
24:57
might have. Well, why what's up? The name Forbes mean anything to
25:02
you, Ruth Forbes Forbes? No, No, I don't think so.
25:06
Now about Rachel Kramer, No lives out on South York Street. No,
25:11
no, I don't get it. We don't get these people say your service
25:15
that television sets at one time or another? Is that true? What could
25:19
be? I don't know. Why is it anything wrong with that? I
25:23
got a license to be in business. You know if you drive a forty
25:26
one Buick City that, don't you for sure it's parked out in back?
25:32
Hey, look, I don't understand. You must have something wrong coming in
25:33
there and asking for just a second. We Victor Electric all on? Yeah,
25:45
yeah, no, no, I don't think it'll be too late.
25:49
Honey, I got some people waiting. I'll call you back. Yeah.
25:55
Bye, I remember now, I did service as some people lived out on
26:00
South York. It must have been last year, sometime it was the tenth
26:03
of February. Victor, Huh, where were you last night? Vincdorm?
26:07
Well? Was there? I was home all night? Yeah? Why can
26:11
you prove it? My wife she'll tell you I was there last night.
26:15
We started driving your car near the Ellsworth Hotel. Did you forget Oh?
26:22
Yeah, I guess, well, I went off for some cigarettes. Do
26:25
you live at thirty five sixty seven Civic Place, don't you? Yeah?
26:27
You drove clear over by the Ellsworth to get cigarettes? Well, lots sector.
26:33
Did you drive over there to meet Adelaide Hobby. I don't know anybody
26:37
named Adelaide Harvey. We just told you she works at the television station.
26:40
She serviced her TV set on the thirteenth last month. I'm married. Why
26:44
do I want to meet some other girl? That's so we're trying to find
26:45
out, Victim. Didn't you call her up yesterday afternoon and ask her to
26:49
meet you there? Victor, do you remember where you were three nights ago,
26:57
Sunday night, Monday night. I's home. Look, I tell you
27:02
I haven't done anything. Anybody work with you. I'm all alone. This
27:04
week might help some vacation. Can you get someone a standing? No?
27:10
No, Look, I got a lot of work to get out. I
27:11
don't know what you guys want to close. Don't come on downtown with us,
27:15
Victim. Oh no, wait, I I never heard of such a
27:19
thing. I haven't done anything. I've never been in any trouble. We
27:22
just want to get something straightened down. All I wan't go. We have
27:25
a warranty. I tell you I haven't done it, and you're gonna ask
27:27
my wife. We last year. If it's necessary. Right now, we
27:30
just like to have you come downtown with us. There was a lady going
27:33
to be there, Missus Creamer. A man beat her up in a parking
27:37
lot last Monday night. I took a couple of her ribs. You sound
27:41
like you could be that. Now I'm not. I tell you you got
27:45
this all wrong. If Missus Creamer says you aren't the man, you'll be
27:48
back here in half an hour. You should leave me. When she finds
27:56
out, she'll walk right out of me. I know, Dora, I
27:59
should walk on me. Leave me, flatch. You won't even help me.
28:03
Sure work right on me. Married nine years? Did you think about
28:07
that when you made the phone calls? No, I guess I didn't think
28:12
there was anywhere you could catch me when you should have thought of that.

29:29
thief, the murderer. Listen again next week when the makers of Wrigley's Spearmint
29:33
Chewing Gum again bring you the lineup. Hey, I have your attention.
29:38
Please you people out there on the other side of the wire in the audience
29:42
room, may I have your attention? Please? Thank you. My name
29:45
is Coger, Sergeant Pete Coger. I'll explained the lineup to you. Each
29:49
of the suspects you will see will be numbering. The lineup, starring Bill
30:03
Johnstone as Lieutenant Ben Guthrie with Jack Moyles a Sergeant Pete Krger, was written
30:07
by E Jack Newman with music by Eddie Dunsteader. Featured in tonight's cast were
30:11
high ever Back, Joyce Manners, Jay Novello, Howard mcneer, Joe Devall,
30:15
Virginia greg and Stacy Harris. The lineup was transcribed in Hollywood by him
30:19
Delvaier. This is the CBS Radio Network Welcome back, uh this episode.
30:55
So dell was kind of a rare topic during the Golden Age of entertainment.
30:59
The only time I can remember this being dealt with was on television. The
31:04
series of Decoy, which of course starred Beverly Garland as a policewoman, didn't
31:14
have an episode on this topic, but that show tended to focus on some
31:19
police situations that were considered, I guess, to be more of interest to
31:23
women. I think they did a good job on this. The big thing
31:26
that they really suggested this episode is that it's not these sort of calls are
31:33
not something to be just ignored, and that really the fact that there were
31:42
women who just I think, for understandable reasons, really just wanted to move
31:48
on from this whole unpleasant mess and so didn't get reported to the police,
31:56
and that presented some challenges to the police. Establishing patterns as to who to
32:07
help them figure out who might have done this thing. And I think that
32:14
that was brought home in this episode and that this can definitely head in towards
32:22
more serious crimes, which is why it's important to report it and to investigate
32:28
it. In this case, even though they hadn't had a ton of cooperation,
32:31
they were able to They were able to solve the case because of guy
32:39
actually going to physically be near the victims. If both the assault and then
32:47
the date that he ended up not going on, Otherwise the whole case may
32:52
have gone on quite a bit longer, with calls going to seemingly random people.
33:00
And I was kind of an ond turn because at first it seemed like
33:04
the targets were based on having modeled or appeared on a billboard, and in
33:10
this case, it turns out that the basis seems to have been that he
33:16
fixed their television sense a bit of a switch. But the guy definitely definitely
33:28
seemed to disturbed, you know, you could just tell from the final scene
33:31
where he's already like, you know, blaming his wife for walking out on
33:40
him in advance, not seem to understand why she might want to do that,
33:49
but at any rate, a good educational program. All right. Well,
33:52
we turned to listener comments in feedback and got one from Joel regarding episode
33:59
ten eight, the check Killer Case doul RIOTSI adam, you comment about the
34:05
detective was doing small talk in front of the widow in this episode of the
34:07
lineup. To my ear, they moved away from her and were speaking a
34:10
bit softly, so she didn't hear them perhaps a bit of perhaps subtlety.
34:16
But listen again and see what you think. I did listen, and I
34:21
do kind of see where you're coming from, Joel, because it did seem
34:25
like they had some sound effects indicating that they were walking away a little bit
34:37
from her. And then of course you hear the crying, and I guess
34:43
probably what I was hearing that seems was the detachment, because it's hard to
34:51
me to imagine being able to carry on, you know, just a everyday
34:54
casual conversation with a grieving wi wailing a few feet Alie. But it's probably
35:04
a lot more possible for police officer who deals with these sort of circumstances on
35:08
more of an everyday thing. All right. Joshua comments on sends me a
35:15
message through Facebook Adam, the show is great and getting better as you go.
35:19
Now, as you read a comment the other day that must have had
35:21
the number symbol because you said number and whatever follow the symbol, just an
35:24
NYI. Number is a hashtag used to mark something as a topic you can
35:28
follow on Twitter and now on facebook's a number, So hashtag great detectors as
35:34
awesome would be read as hashtag great detectors is awesome. Well, thanks so
35:37
much, Josh. Even though I am younger and a lot younger than most
35:42
of the audience, I didn't grow up with Twitter, so apparently I'm going
35:49
I've been seeing it as a number sign, but I definitely even on Twitter
35:52
when I use it, I'm thinking number sign when I tip the hashtag sign,
35:57
So I will. I will try to make amends in that way.
36:02
Thanks so much for the clarification, Josh. Okay. Well, Also,
36:07
before we go, I want to let you know about our movie tomorrow.
36:12
The movie is going to be the ninth guest. It's a nineteen thirty four
36:17
mystery film and it bears some resemblance to Ten Little Indians, which was made
36:25
into the movie and then there were none, though I believe this one actually
36:30
predated it, and it's a decent, decent for being movie in nineteen thirty
36:37
four. Probably not for younger kids. That are a few kind of scary
36:42
parts in it, but other than that it should should be an interesting viewing.
36:47
So tomorrow on video theater be sure and watch for the ninth guest,
36:54
and we will be back on Monday with yours truly, Johnny Dollardy will be
37:00
time from the lineup. In the meantime, send your comments to Box thirteen
