Well, it's a good time for us now at 13 minutes after 7 to zip back to 1944. You know, with just a few flick of the wrist, we zip to all kinds of years gone by. We're going back to summer of 44, July 20th of 1944. The program is a craft music hall. Bing Crosby's the Star Life and Life the craft music hall with Bing Crosby, John Scott Trotter and his orchestra. Marilyn Maxwell, a music maids and Man Yuki the Charioteers. And Bing's guest for this evening, Paramount's big news star, Mr. Sonny Tufts. And here's Bing Crosby now. Calla me jojo A chief from the big snow Loved a maiden named Moon Glow and what do you know? He said, honey, I'll catch ye Take ya down to Wenatchee with a bundle of scratchy Buy you a wedding bowl. He promised jive and lie to pet your wigwam. There she dug but she preferred to square from Delaware. So now there's no moon Whoa. In the land of the big snow. Just a guy that's gone loco Post naqualamy Joe. Oh, sno Joe snoquala me Joe A she from the big snow. Do, do you love the maiden name Mungo? And what do you know? He said, honey, I'll catchy. He said he gonna catch it. You're not doing that chick doo doo doo With a bundle of scratchy he'd buy you a wedding bowl. He told her jive and lil that she was sharp and cute she does but she preferred an old beat up p so now there's no moon glow in the Land of the Big Snow Just a guy that's gone loco Toss Naqualummy Joe Ne. Jo Jo. A G from the big snow A G from the big snow the maiden named Moon blow A chick from the fake snow the guy has gone local Come on in. The Globe got Snoquala Me Jo. Yes, here's the old craft music. All friends en route to world battle stations where many a war weary man hasn't much to look forward to but mail call. A letter from home. About home. Writing these letters is part of our job. Get on it. Write every man you know who's in the service. Write often, write regularly and use V Mail because that's the fastest, surest way to reach him. I know you've been doing plenty of writing, Marilyn. Gee. Yes, Bing. I've sent many a line overseas. You still have some good ones left, too, Miss. Hey, speaking of mail, Bing, I just got a letter from Bob Hope. Well, how is old Funnel Flu? Well, he signs himself, as always. No improvement, I guess. You know, I think it's wonderful for Hope to go where he goes. That boy will go anywhere to get free mailing privileges anywhere. But I still can't understand why Hope picked Yuki to write to. Well, you see, I'm the Kraft Music hall special representative and sales agent for his book I Never Left Home. You are? Anyone want to buy a copy? Oh, brother. Is anybody anywhere buying it? Oh, no. Funny thing, Ken, but that trivial tract on the travels of that toothpaste troubadour is finding a market. Really gets a few old suckers someplace. I got the dope directly from the publishers. Simon Suspender and Schuster. Simon Suspender and Schuster. What's Suspender doing in there? Holding up shoes this bad? You know, would you believe it that before he went into the army, I sold Mickey Rooney 15 copies of I Never Left Home. What would rooney want with 15 copies? Stands on him to shave. That's the best way to top a Hope joke, too. Say, has anybody got any messages to send to Hope when I write to him? Yes, Yuki, you may tell him that he's not the only literary light in the show business. I too have received considerable acclaim from the literary critics. You really have? Yes, I have. You know that book, they made a picture out of it. My. My friend Flickr. Yes, Flickr's running for me now. Worked a hat in 48 the other day. Pulled up in the. I'll tell him that. Anything else? Yes, tell him that we found his scrapbook. Where'd you find it? It was under his pillow. Oh, I'll tell him that. There. Any. Any other news? See, I don't think of anything else right now. Oh, tell him I think that you're the swellest little guy in the world. I want to. I want to see you get places. Tell him that. Really? Should I say that? Yes. You'd be doing me a favor, Yuki. Now, if you want to do me another big favor, when you get the letter written. Yeah? Deliver it in person, huh? Wish me luck. Oh, wish me luck. I'm trying a new song right in through here. I don't know what to do. Good. This lovely day will lengthen into evening we'll sigh goodbye to all we've ever had alone where we have lost together. I remember April and be glad I'll be content you loved me once in April your lips were warm and love and spring were new. But I'm not afraid of autumn and the sorrow For I remember April and June the fire will dwindle into glow ashes or flames and love live such a little while I won't forget that I won't be lonely. I remember April and I'll smile. Sam. The fire will dwindle into glowing ashes or flames in love live such a little while I won't forget that I won't be lonely. I remember April and the sm in just a moment, the charioteers are going to come out with Red River Valley. At the moment another one of our friends comes out, you victory gardeners are now reaping tasty rewards for your spring labors. So remember the way to do full justice to those fresh greens. When you make your nutritious salads, serve them with lots of Miracle Whip. For Miracle Whip is the famous salad dressing millions prefer. It has a flavor all its own, a lively, just right flavor that comes from an exclusive craft recipe. Miracle Whip combines the qualities of zesty boiled dressing and fine mayonnaise. And it's extra creamy smooth due to a special patented beater. Get some Miracle Whip salad dressing tomorrow. Serve it every time you serve salads and do that every day, for salads are important to everyone's well being, from Grandma down to the youngsters. So serve salads often with lots of delicious Miracle Whip, America's favorite salad dressing. We'll get back to Bing Crosby on the Kraft Music hall from 1944 in just a moment.

I should never have taken to Roman. I should never have left all my friends. Cause I dream of the Red River Valley and the home where the Red river bends from this valley they say you are going I will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile and they say you are taking the sunshine that has brightened my past For a while Just consider a while Ere you leave me do not hasten to bid me adieu and remember the Red River Valley and the girl who has loved you so true oh, her hair was all yellow and flowing like the gold of a bright western sky and her eyes was the blue of the mountain and she cried when we whispered goodbye well, just consider a while Ere you leave me do not hasten to bid me adieu and remember the Red River Valley and the girl who has loved you so true But I'm so tired Awful, awful tired of roaming I hear you talking yes, and some days when I've sung every song Babadoo's Play I return Return one melody to the valley yeah, Valley where I belong Coincident with the release of Paramount's picture so Proudly We Hail was the birth of a new and vivid screen personality, Mr. Sonny Tufts. Ever eager to capitalize on a long lead, Paramount lost no time in again teaming Sonny with Paulette Goddard. Well, his big Pinetown Boys. Yeah, the result, I Love a Soldier. Hit the top houses this week, I'm told. You'd think that after all this, Mr. Tufts would be allowed a bit of a breather, but no, he's been rushed in to bolster up a little thing that they got me working on here called Here Come the Waves. And you ought to get a gander at us in our Navy, G.I. it's too bad you changed your dungarees before you come over, Sonny. Too bad you didn't, Bing. Say, which one of you gets the girl? Well, you see, the girl's Betty Hutton. Oh. Which one of you gets away? I see what you mean. Well, either way, you know, that's something I've been worried about. I've been wondering just what kind of reception a sailor gets when he calls in his girlfriend's stern father to ask his daughter's hand in marriage. Oh, that's easy to find out, Sonny. All I have to do is set a scene. Gee, isn't radio wonderful? Now, in this scene, Bing Crosby is the father of a girl. Radio is wonderful. While Mr. Sonny Tufts is a sailor coming home with his girl to broach the subject of matrimony to her father. As they come Walking up the path. They're very happy. He's singing Sailing, sailing over the bounding foam. My stomach's going up and down. I should have left it hormone. Please, please, dear. I don't think father will like that song. Oh, a landlubber. No, a music lover. Go on, dear. Go on in and ask him. Okay. Yes, I'm sunny. I'm gloomy. That's a great joke. That's a great joke, sir. Sitting like that. Not that funny. How much do you want to bite me for? No, sir, I don't want to borrow any money. I just want to. To marry a daughter, sir. Then you better borrow something. You wish to take away my pride, my joy, my little old girl child, eh? What makes you think you love her? Well, sir, the moment your daughter and I met, well, I looked at her and she looked at me and, well, she had. Had him. What? She slapped my face just like her mother. Well, that's what I like about your daughter, sir. She's the kind of a girl I'd like to bring home to Father. You really mean that, son? Yes, sir. And it would take something like her to bring Father home. Obviously a man of discerning tastes, but let's be friends, my boy. You don't have to be so formal with me. There's no need to keep calling me sir. Navy custom, sir. Yes, habit is strong, isn't it? But relax, son. Relax. You don't have to stand there at attention. Navy discipline, sir. Come, come, come, my boy. Why don't you sit down, Navy pants. Sir. I don't know about you marrying my little flower, though I've heard reports about you sailors. A girl in every part, girls following you all around. Nothing but girls, girls, girls. Any truth in this? What if there is? Where is the nearest recruiting officer? Please, sir. You see, I really am in love with your daughter. Why, I've even got her name tattooed in my arm. Let me see, son. Oh, yeah. Mabel, Nona, Audrey, Sandra, Jane, Betty, Mildred, Gloria. Hmm. I'm sorry. You. You've got the wrong idea. You got the wrong arm. Ah, yes. I guess boys will be boys. Of course, there's a little minor item I'd like to bring up. Just how are you fixed financially? Well, I had a little nest egg. You had? What happened to it? Well, I took your daughter out and she hatched it. In that case, I must remind you, son, that you're both very young. And I suggest you wait a long time. A long time. I'd like to know a lot more about you before I Consent to my daughter's marriage. A lot more than I shall sell. Well, my father's a millionaire. How's Sunday at 4:00'? Clock? Don't you want to hear. Hear more about me? Oh, no. Characters, my boy. Characters written all over your face. But remember, after you're married, things won't always be so rosy. You'll have hard times, troubles, disappointments. I may even say, big disappointments. Hey, Pa. My biggest. Just. Hey, look, you all of Marilyn's boyfriends take me out to dinner. So could I go back to. To the ship with you to eat? I'd like to see a Navy mess. Sure. Come on along. They'd like to see a civilian mess. Thanks. Now, but if you two want to be alone, I might go away for, say, about $2.85. Why so much? Well, the price includes the old man, too. He does. You know, I admire a kid like you and I'd like to do something for you. As a matter of fact, I know just what I'd like to do. But I guess I'd better not. Why go to jail? Oh, here you are, Sonny, with Father. Now you run along, stinky, or I'll get brother John to throw you out. How y', all, sailor? I'm Marilyn's biggest brother. Biggest anything. Well, my boy, now that you've met our little family, how do you like us? Well, must I answer? Each in his own way contributes something to our happiness. I spread joy. I spread cheer. I just spreads my family. My. My little family. My little brood means a lot to me. I'll never forget when this little old daughter of mine came along. A happy bundle from above. A happy bundle. Then I came along a sad sack. The road company. You know, I'll bet your daughter was cute as a little girl. I mean, freckle face? Yes. Pigtails? Yes. Bobby socks. Watch your language, my boy. I've been living with my children here nigh unto 20 years. Been both father and mother to them. Seen them through happiness and sadness. Watched them grow from childhood to manhood. And now you come along and you want to marry my little daughter. My only girl child. If I consent, will you do me a favor? What, sir? Take me away from all this. I will if you let me call you Pappy. Climb upon my knees, Sonny boy if I deal, your knees will deploy Sonny, I can hold you, I'm afraid I'll fold you Please don't bring me down Sonny boy My knees are strong, boy I'm afraid you're wrong, boy they'll hold you up Sonny Your tunicap, sir, surely will collapse, sir. I'll fracture you, Sonny boy. You're not so heavy. Said you know my weight. Tell me how heavy? Stripped I'm too old. So maybe he at best. Rehearse it. For safety's sake. Reverse it. I'll climb up on your knee. All right. Bing Crosby and Sonny Tufts. And that's on the Kraft Music Hall. We've got a little more of that coming your way on our WLTD hall closet.

Babe Ruth signs three year contract. A slug for the Yankees at 70 G's per annum. The Yanks caught the World Series. Alabama ties up Stanford in the Rose bowl in the last two minutes of play. 1927. And young men strolling through the park with their girls on a summer evening are saying, let's sit here on this bench till it gets dark. It's almost dark now, Harry. Yeah, but I want to wait till it gets real dark. Why, Harry? Because I want to do something I've always wanted to do. But I couldn't get up enough nerve. What, Harry? Walk on the grass. Say, Harry, do you mind if I wear lipstick? Well, it's kind of messy. There's a guy down at the pool room, comes in every night. He's got his handkerchief all red with it. Yeah, but my lipstick is indelible. It doesn't come off. I don't believe it. I'd like to prove it to you. Okay. If you really want him, go on and prove it. Here's my handkerchief. Oh, Harry. Listen, honey, I've been thinking. About what? Well, don't answer this if you think I'm fresh. But can you cook? Why, of course, Harry. Make beds? Naturally. How are you with kids? Why, I. I hardly know what to say. But if you mean, do I like children. Oh, I do. I love children. Then I guess you're the girl I've been looking for. Looking for is what, Harry? My kid sister's Girl Scout troop needs a new leader. Honestly, Harry, I don't know what to make of you. Sometimes I'm happy, sometimes I'm blue My disposition depends on you oh, you take life too serious. Well, don't you think a girl has to, Harry? Not necessarily. Now, you take like it says in that new song. Oh, we ain't got a barrel of money maybe we're ragged and funny but we'll travel along Singing a song side by side don't know what's coming tomorrow maybe it's trouble and sorrow but we'll travel the road Sharing our love Side by side through all kinds of weather what if it's sky should fall Just as long as we're together it doesn't matter at all when they've all had their claws and parted we'll be the same as we started Just to travel along Singing a song side by side Sam. To all kinds of weather what if the sky should fall? Just as long as we're together it doesn't matter at all when they've all had their quarrels and parted we'll be the same as we started Just to travel along Singing a song side by side by side say, Bing. Are you frightened by big figures? Oh, no. John Trout is one of my best friends. I'm talking about numerical figures. Figures up in the millions and billions like. Well, like 121,237,000,000. That happens to be exactly the number of marbles I lost to my oldest boy last night. I think he ran in a loaded Emmy on me. Well, 121,237,000,000 has happens to be the number of pounds of milk the 5 million dairy farmers in the United States are producing this year. That's many. A double rich malt and a mild high cone. And it's also 102% of the amount of milk produced last year. Or in simpler terms, it's about 56,412,900,000 quarts. No wonder everybody's singing. Milkman, keep those bottles quiet. Takes a lot of work to keep that many bottles full. But our American dairy farmers are. They're in there fighting the battle of the barns. 14, 15, 16 hours a day, seven days a week. Seeing that we at home and the men overseas get all the milk and the milk products needed to keep pounding out victories. American dairy farmers are doing a great job. And they deserve a lot more credit than they're getting. They're up every morning before down. They're out in all kinds of weather caring for their fine herds. The same hard work they've been doing for years. Only now there's a lot more of it. And it's more important now. It's work vital to victory. And if the past is a fair example, American dairy farmers are going to continue doing the same kind of job that has contributed so solidly to our successes up to now. Each of which is a step on the road to victory. Amor amor Ramon this word so sweet that I repeat Means I adore you Would you deny this heart that I have placed before you I can't find another word with meaning so clear My lips try to Whisper sweeter things in your ear but somehow or other nothing sounds quite so clear as this soft caress passing word I know amo when you're away There is no day and nights are lonely Amor more my love make life divine say you be mine and love me only make life divine say you'll be mine and love me only Amor. That covers everything we had lined up for this evening in the old Craft Music hall, friends. But next Thursday at exactly the same time we got going this evening we're going to get going again. The same spot on your dials too, so try to join us. We've also invited the mighty Sonny Tufts to join us again next Thursday. Until then, adio. Joining the Craft Music hall next Thursday at the same time to hear Bing Crosby, John Scott Trotter and his orchestra, the Music Maids and Men Yuki the Charioteers. And as our special guest for the evening, we've invited Sonny Tufts to pay us another visit. Marilyn Maxwell appeared through the courtesy of Metro Golden Mayor, the producers of the Technicolor musical Bathing Beautiful. No. Appetizing in so many tempting ways. That's Craft Salad mustard. Tangy, golden and creamy. Smooth the salad mustard that's prepared to Craft's own special recipe. It's delicious in deviled eggs, gives grand flavor lift to salad dressings, adds extra zest to cheese fondues and Welsh rabbits. Serve Craft salad mustard often in a variety of appetizing ways. There's a sharper Craft mustard too, with nippy horseradish added. So treat the family to both varieties. Put craft mustards on your shopping list tomorrow. This is the National Broadcasting Company. That was the Bing Crosby Craft Music hall from July 20th of 1944. This is Chuck Shaden on April 19th of 1973 in the hall closet on WLTD. And Bing's guest on that show was Sonny Tough. Sonny Tough's real name. Well, actually, Sonny was a nickname and his first name was Bowen and his middle name was Charlton. B O W E N Bowen, Charlton Tufts. And mostly he did acting in the movies in the 40s, in the early 40s. Tall, good looking guy, I think he was blonde. And he wasn't the best actor of all time, but he was a passable actor. He's still around. He was born in 1918 and the Tunny Tuft legend as it is, it's a reality, actually he was going to be the guest, one of the stars on the Lux Radio Theater. And the preceding week when the cast of the Lux Radio Theater was discussing, you know, at the end at the Curtain call. They were talking about next week's show and the announce the one of the actors on this week's show. I think it was Joseph Cotton. I can't remember. I just can't draw that back out of my memory bank. Or maybe someone knows. But one of the actors from this week's show said and next week we'll have so and so and so and so. And Sonny Tufts, he just couldn't believe it. And that's the legend of Sonny Tufts. That's his claim to fame really is unbelievability as far as a name. And then they laugh at Engelbert Humperdink. Sonny Tufts. Okay.

Her clothes were few but full of style her figure slim and svelte on every man that won by she pulled the theta bara eye and everyone observed with awe that her work was swift but never raw.

This is Chuck Schaden in the hall closet from wltd. We're going to take a break for the news and then we'll be back with more. We've got the Bill Goodwin show, the adventures of Mike Shane. And I think we'll have another quiz for you, oh, about an hour from now, so stick around. Don't touch that. Dial WLTD Evanston. Good morning. It's 8:00am and I'm Bob Abella with the news on the hour. Former presidential aide Jeb Stuart Magruder testifies before a federal grand jury today on his involvement in the Watergate raid. The Washington Post reports Magruder has linked Formio, former Attorney General John Mitchell and White House aide John Dean with planning the bugging of the Watergate headquarters. Democratic National Chairman Robert Strauss told the National Press Club yesterday that administration handling of the Watergate affair has endangered the political system. His argument was refuted by Republican Chairman George Bush. Also on the news in response to the nationwide fuel shortage, a number of gasoline outlets are reported to be closing or limiting their hours of operation. There are some reports of black markets developing, especially among independent dealers finding it difficult to obtain wholesale supplies of gasoline. In Washington, President Nixon asked Congress today to scrap most federal programs, which he says have made city governments too reliant on federal help. He wants to substitute a $2.3 billion revenue sharing program and the House of Representatives votes today on whether to allow part of the $7 billion annual Highway Trust Fund to be used for urban mass transit. It would be the first time in 17 years that the highway fund would be used for non highway purposes. Also, American Embassy officials in Moscow say the Soviet Union refused yesterday to permit a plane carrying supplies from a U.S. base in Germany to land in Moscow. The embassy has received no explanation from the Soviets as to why, and a Cook County Circuit Court judge has set May 17 for a hearing on an attorney's request for a summary judgment of damage suits against United Airlines. Attorney John Kennelly asked the judgment of more than $24 million on behalf of the 25 persons killed with a United jetliner that crashed into a residential section near Midway Airport on December 8th of 72. Kennelly charged that United failed to conform with its own operating rules in that crash. In a scene most Chicago White Sox fans hope will happen repeatedly, Dick Allen and Bill Melton homered back to back yesterday to give the Sox a 65 win over the Texas Rangers. The homers came in the first inning and were the second of the year for Allen and the third in three games for Melton. They enabled starter Wilbur woods to post his second win of the season against two losses. Of the five runs scored off of Wood, only two of them were earned and the winning run came in the fifth inning when Mike Andrews picked up his second single of the afternoon and scored all the way from first base on a double by Allen. Texas used three pitchers. The third, Don Stenhouse, took the loss and for the second straight day yesterday, the Chicago Cubs nicked the New York Mets by a score of one to nothing Tuesday. Reliable Ferguson Jenkins tossed a two hit shutout yesterday. The winning pitcher was a six foot five inch rookie who bears a striking resemblance to Jenkins, but who last year at this time was a college student with no professional experience. Right hander Ray Burris picked up the win in his first start ever in the majors. He was a last minute replacement for Milt Pappas who had to fly to Chicago to see his sick wife. Burris went five innings before he was lifted after Cleon Jones led off the Mets in the sixth with a hit. Thereafter, Larry Gura and Jack Aker kept the shutout intact, and the Cubs had a win and a new pitching hero. Finally, the Chicago Blackhawks are in New York today, where they are waiting tonight's fourth game of their Stanley cup semifinals series with the New York Rangers. WLTD News time is 8:03.

We're going back now to the early 1950s for a comedy show starring a man who made a niche in radio as an announcer. He was Bill Goodwin. But he was, of course, more than an announcer. He was comedy foil for Burns and Allen. And that was before Harry von Zell came on the scene. With Burns and Allen on radio, he was also the comedy foil and the announcer, a man for the Bob Hope Show. And in the early 50s, Bill Goodwin had his own show. On this one, it's with Alan Reed and Jim Backus, a couple of familiar voices. Let's tune into the first portion right now. This I gotta hear. Just our Bill, an ordinary guy. Mr. Goodman's office. Sorry, Mr. Goodwin can't see you now. He's in conference with Generalissimo Shanghai Sheik. Mr. Goodwin's office. Definitely not Marshall Stalin. I told you Mr. Goodwin was in conference. Now, Rockefeller, come to the point. Just how much money do you need? I'm just Goodwin. Six million will see me through. All right, all right. I'll make a note to take it out of petty cash. President Truman has been waiting for two hours, sir. President Truman? Oh, yes. I'll get to him soon. Ms. Goodwin, where shall I put these? What are they? Two dozen white orchids from Lana Turner. What? Not black. In the wastebasket. Mr. Goodwin, President Truman said he couldn't wait. He left. President Truman left? Who does he think runs this country? I'll go right over to the White House and give him his notice. Bill. Bill, what's the matter with you? You knocked over your Coke and broke the glass. Huh? Huh? Huh. Look at it. Glass and Coke all over the counter. Oh, gee, I'm sorry, Lenny. I guess I was daydreaming again. Well, I gotta run over and get. Get to work. It's my shift on the elevator. You going up to your office? Yeah. Say, Bill, do you have those daydreams very often? Yeah, I do. You know, I can't understand it. Can't understand what? What a dope I am throwing away orchids from Lana Turner. Yes, friends, that's our Bill. Just a dreamer, a yes man who'd like to say no once in a while. In real life, he's the local representative of the Southwest Insurance Company. And not doing too well because he can't seem to take time out from his chamber of commerce activities, club activities, and a certain little activity named Philippa Walsh. He enters his insurance office ready to start the day. Helen, his secretary, has already arrived. Good morning, Helen. It's Dimples, your lover boy ready to plunge into the day's work. Good morning, Bill. You had several calls this morning. Mayor Chandler's secretary called, and Mr. Groggins wants you to drop by the bank. You're probably overdrawn again. And here's a telegram that was just delivered. I wonder what Philippe is doing tonight. Bill, what about the mayor? Philippa's more my type. Helen, I'll make those calls as soon as I get back. I'm gonna run in and see Philippa first. It's a good thing that girl's in the next officer. He'd never sell any insurance. Oh, well, at least he's the nicest guy that never sells any insurance. Well, good morning, Philippa. It's Dimples, your lover boy. What's cooking, honey? Oh, hello, Bill. Hey, was that the typewriter I heard or your little heart pounding for me? I like you. You're so modest. Yeah. Is your boss in? Not yet. Good. How about a kiss, Bill? Please, honey, just a little one. Honest. When I take in my arms, I get all choked up. My. My heart starts jumping around. I get that burning feeling inside. Oh, Bill, you say the same thing after you have a bowl of chili a. Cut it out, baby. As far as I'm concerned, you're the only girl in town. Thanks, Bill. You sound so sincere, I almost believe you. Philly, I can just see us in our little honeymoon cottage sitting on the sofa with a good book in front of A roaring fire to throw the book in. Ah, it'll be wonderful. Wonderful. Bill, you're not ready for marriage. Why do you keep asking me? Why do you keep beating your head against a brick wall? Well, why not? Maybe it'll come out of shape. You like? Fine. Now, run along, Bill. I'll get in trouble if my boss sees you around here during working hours. Okay. What time shall I pick you up tonight? Well, considering we don't even have a date, that's a very ambiguous question. Oh, now, come on. We'll have dinner at the hotel, and then maybe we can go over to the park and go canoeing in the moonlight. Bill, there's no moon tonight. Well, we'll rough it. How about it, Philippa? Tonight at 8? Well, it sounds perfect, but how do I know you'll show up? Oh, believe me, honey, you can depend on me. Yes, I can depend on you. How about that date you broke with me last Thursday? Well, but, Philly, that was business. I had to take her to dinner. Besides, she was ugly. That's not what I heard. Oh, honest, Felipe, you should have seen the wrinkles in her face. She had to wear lipstick to tell which one to feed. Okay, Bill. Okay. It's a date. Great. Great. Honey, I'll see you tonight at 8, huh? So long. Southwest Insurance. Mr. Goodwin's office. Oh. Oh, yes, Mayor Chandler. Well, he just stepped out of the office first. Oh. Oh, here he is. He just walked in. Just a moment, please. Bill, telephone. Okay. Hello? It's Nifbles. Your lover, Mayor Chandler. Yes, sir. Yes, yes. How have you been, Mr. Mayor? Oh, that's good. Yes, the new streetcar system. What's that? You run into a little snag with the Dinwiddie sisters? Well, just like I told you at the chamber of commerce meeting, sir, I'll try my best to help you. I'll go see him right away. Oh, I'll get results, your honor. Remember, I helped you kiss all the babies in town during your last campaign. Oh, Mr. Mayor, that's not fair. I kissed a few of them under 18. Two of them under 18. Okay, I'll call you back after I see the Dinwiddie sisters. The Dinwiddie sisters? I sure don't envy you going to see those two fuddy, duddy old maids. You're being very unfair, Helen. How can you say that about two sweet old ladies who have as much charm and property as they have? They don't even know who won the war. Sure they do. Ask them anytime. They'll tell you. The North Well, I. I better get going. I got a lot to do. Oh, don't forget to drop in the bank and see Mr. Groggins. Okay. So long. And, Bill, how about this telegram? You read it and tell me about it when I come back. Well, here I am. The Dinwiddie sisters. House boy. I wonder if they'll ever admit it's the 20th century. Now, Goodwin, don't do anything to shock these old girls. Remember, they haven't spoken to old doc Garrett for 45 years. Never did forgive him for slapping them when they were born. Well, here goes. Oh, William. El, is it? William Goodwin. Jump right in, William. Well, thank you. Hello, William. How are you this afternoon, Miss Jane? And you, Miss Alice. Oh, William, we're especially happy you dropped in today. Good. There's something we've been wanting to talk to you about. It's. Oh, dear. Oh, come, come now. You ladies know you can discuss any important question with me. Yes, Well, I know, but we're a little doubtful if this is the sort of thing we should discuss with a man. Oh. Oh, it's all right for the moment. Just sort of visualize me as one of you. No, no. I mean, maybe that isn't such a good idea. Oh, I think it's all right, Jane. After all, we did know his family. Sure. You see, it's. Well, just this, William. Oh. Oh, Jane, I just don't think I should. Alice, you have to go through with it. Remember, you drew the short straw. All right. Well, William. Yes? Just who is this Kilroy person? Well, he's a sort of a world traveler. A lecturer? No, more of a poet. Well, I. Well, I'm glad that's cleared up. It's so wonderful to know that one is up with the time. Yes, of course. Now, tell us, William, is this just a little social visit or did you have something in particular on your mind? Well, I'll tell you. As a matter of fact, it's about the new transit system we're trying to put through. You see, with the present plans, it's supposed to run through that piece of property you ladies own on Spring Street. Probably another idea. That awful Mayor Chandler. Yes, that awful Mayor Chandler. Oh, now, the girls. The mayor isn't so bad when you get to know him. William, how can you defend him? Do you know what he's allowed now? And in a theater that's in a building we own, too. No, what? Oh, you'll have to tell him, Jane. I just can't say that word, William. A bubble dancer. Oh, well, after all, Ms. Jane, she's a very small girl and she uses an old awfully big bubble. You mean you've been there and you've seen her? Oh, no, no. Some of the older fellas told me about it. And you don't know the worst. Yes, we heard. We heard that at one of the performances the rowdies in the balcony were shooting bean shooters at her bubble. Yes, I understand the audience got quite a bang on of it. Now, about the new transit system. Worrying about transportation. What this town needs is more culture. Yes. Has there been any attempt to bring concert music or opera singers to the city? Why, we could even import opera companies. Give the city culture. Well, I. I certainly do agree with you. Now, getting to the question, I'd like to discuss it with you. But it's time for our nap now. We'll go into the matter tonight. You come for dinner at 8 o'. Clock. 8. 8. 8 o'. Clock. Well, Ms. Jane, I was sort of planning. Of course, if you have something more important. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. I'll be there. I'll be there. Eight o' clock sharp. Oh, and William, of course you'll remember to dress? Oh, I always do. Oh, you mean for dinner? Oh, yes, for dinner. Well, yes, it's a date. I'll see you girls tonight. Gee, they would have to insist on tonight. Oh, well, I'll worry about that later. I better drop in the bank and see Mr. Groggins. Gee, I hope he's not thinking of canceling his insurance. Maybe he wants to increase it. Oh, Goodwin, you dreamer, you. Gee, I hope that dull daughter of his isn't around. I'd hate to bump into the beast with five fingers. Ah, there you are, Bill. Good afternoon. Hi, Mr. Goggins. How are all the hot loans and frozen assets today? Say, you're looking fine, Mr. Goggins. I'm a little disappointed though. I was hoping to bump into your charming daughter. Ah, yes, yes, she is a charming girl, Bill. A charming girl. Yes, indeed. Well, Mr. Gragas, did you want to see me about something in particular? My boy, when the president of a bank takes time out on a busy day to call someone, obviously it must concern a pretty important matter. The thing I wanted to settle with you, Bill, is about this. Let me see. What was it now? Well, was it maybe. Don't coach me. It'll come to me in a few moments. I just can't seem to think of it right now. You know, Bill, it's my daughter's birthday today and I said, Grace, what would you rather have More than anything in the world. And do you know what the cute little thing said? No. No. What did the cute little thing say? She said she'd like Bill Goodwin wrapped in cellophane with the blue ribbon around him. Isn't that cute? Yes, yes. Easy stomach. Easy. And daughters are expensive luxuries, Bill. I bought a new birthday dress this morning. Paid $80 for it. $80? Boy, that's robbery. Robbery. Robbery. That's what I wanted to talk with you about. Insurance. Oh, insurance. Yes, Bill. I. I believe I'm going to increase the amount of insurance I'm carrying. Increase it? Oh, that's wonderful, Mr. Groggins. Yes, I'm going to do that, Bill. We'll get together soon and discuss my insurance needs. Good. Who knows, son? We may keep it all in the family in the fam. Oh, by the way, Bill, I'm having a little surprise party for my daughter tonight. She doesn't know anything about it, and I want you to be her date. Oh, well, Mr. Garage, you drop over to the house tonight at eight and we'll all go out to dinner. Tonight at eight. Well, miss. Tonight at eight. Tonight at eight.

Boy, look at those two big waves in your three, Lenny. And those broad shoulders. Well, sometimes I do have a little trouble getting through doorways. So you see, Bill, you don't have any troubles or problems. How could anything be too tough for a man of your caliber to solve? You know, that's true, Lenny.

And my big boss from the Home Office, Mr. Hendricks. Bill, in a problem of this magnitude, the proper approach is to back away from the trees so you can see the Forest. Yeah. Yeah. The proper approach is to back away from the trees so you can see the forest. Now we're looking at the forest. Philippa, you tell her you have to go out with your boss from the home office. She'll understand. And the Dinwiddie sisters, you hit them in their weak spot. They love opera. You tell them the famous opera star Suzetta Galley is in town and you're gonna meet her at the hotel and talk her into putting on a concert. Yeah. Yeah, I'm gonna meet her at the hotel and talk her into putting on a concert. And Groggins, he's your biggest account. Yeah. What would please him more than to tell him you're seeing your boss tonight to work out a plan to cut down his insurance rates? You see, Bill, everybody's happy. You keep the date with Hendrix and you're back in business again. Yeah. See you later, Bill. Yeah, yeah. So long, Lanny. If what he do dies. My, oh my, it's a wonderful day. Well, well, how did Willie Dreamboat get so happy all of a sudden, huh? Don't tell me you found an answer to all those dates you have tonight. That I did, Helen. That I did. Billy, you're amazing. How'd you do it? Well, I'll tell you. I just said to myself, I said, bill, in a problem of this magnitude, the proper approach is to back away from. From the trees so you can see the forest. Then I said, now we're looking at the forest. See, that's what I said to myself. Philippa, you tell her you have to go out with your boss from the home office. Sheila. Hello, Philippa. Hello, Bill. Bill, I've been thinking about tonight. You. You have? Uh huh. And you know, Bill, I was wrong. There is going to be a moon. Well, yeah, Philly, but it won't do any good. You know, the weatherman says it's gonna be pretty foggy. And I think going canoeing will be a lot of fun too. They're pretty dangerous. I don't swim too well. And Bill, won't it be romantic holding hands? I don't know. I'm loaded with hangnails, you know. Philippa. Bill. Yes, Bill? I feel a brush coming. Well, it has verse. Very soft. Bill Goodwin.

Bill, are you really telling me the truth? Really I am. If I can get rid of him early, I'll give you a call. No, no. After all, it's business. Be on your toes and make a good impression. Oh, honey, you know I save all my good impressions for you. Mr. Draggins. If my little meeting is successful tonight, you'll save plenty on your insurance. Plenty. Oh, be sure and express my regrets to your charming daughter. Well, goodbye, Mr. Gogin. Hello. Oh, Ms. Dinwiddy, this is William. William Goodwin.

It's business tonight. I'll need one where there's a little more light. By the way, Mr. Ben, there was a young lady asking for you. A young lady? Yes. Oh, here she is now. Mr. Goodwin? Yes. I'm Nora Johnson, Mr. Hendricks, secretary. Oh, how do you do, Ms. Johnson? Won't you have seat? Thank you. Mr. Hendricks has been delayed. He asked me to bring these directives over to you so you can check through them while you're waiting. Well, I hope he shows up soon. Yes. Well, how is the business, Mr. Goodwin? Have you had much success with our new industrial accident plan, Mr. Goodwin? Oh, no, no, it can't be. Do you see someone you know? Oh, I'm cooked. Now, listen, Ms. Johnson, I haven't time to explain. You got to help me out. As of right now, you're Suzetta Galli, the opera singer. I don't quite understand, but I will. How are you? My goodness, this is a pleasure. I'd like you to meet Madam Suzetta Galley. This is Miss Alice Dinwiddie. And Miss Jane didn't. Well, how do you do? William, we just couldn't resist coming over tonight and meeting your celebrated singer. Good. Well, I'm. I'm certainly glad you did. I would have suggested it myself, only. Well, there are so many fresh men around, a girl isn't safe out after dark anymore. Oh, Madam Galley, it's wonderful meeting a singer with your experience. Yes, you must have a lot of scores to your credit? Well, yes, I do get my share of whistles. That's on the concert stage, of course. Tell us, Madame Galley, what role do you plan for your concert here? Well, I was thinking of something from Lucia. Oh, I don't think the Dinwiddie sisters would approve of that. It has the sextet in it, you know. It's been a pleasure meeting you, Matthew. Yes, it's been thrilling, madam. Darling. Well, good night. Come on, Alice. We must tattle along and be home before the bewitching hour. Mr. Goodwin, do you play these games often? Well, I'll get my breath and explain everything. But first, let me tell you, you were terrific, sensational, wonderful. She is very interesting. Felipe, what are you doing here? Well, you know, you're not the only man who asked me out to dinner. I can't go out with you tonight, honey. I have a date with a big shot. Big shot? She's got plenty of ammunition, too, hasn't he? Aren't you afraid you might get a few powder burns? But, Philippa, take it Easy. This is Mr. Hendricks, Secretary. Sure she is. She's also terrific, sensational and wonderful. Look, maybe I can explain. Never mind, Bill Goodwin, I wouldn't mind if you told me the truth once. But you're just a big blowhard. Nothing but a prevaricating, deceitful person. And as of right now, we're washed up through. You mean my. My big brown eyes don't send you anymore? Exactly. This is it. But, honey, really, it's business. It's my job. I have to live, don't I? That's another argument. Felipe, you got such a pretty top, why do you blow up? Well, Goodwin. Oh, Dragon. Oh, this sort of thing. You break a date with my daughter and me. Oh, ho, ho. His daughter. Mr. Goggins, I can explain everything. You know I wouldn't break a date with your daughter for another girl. Oh, you wouldn't? Of course I would. I mean, no, no. I mean, goodness is preposterous. I'll be with you In a minute, Mr. Goggins. Philippa, you know that nothing means more to me than you. You come first before the Chamber of commerce, before the Kiwan Club, before the Elks, before the very interesting good one. Just how far down the list is Insurance? Oh, Hendrix. Mr. Hendricks, I can explain everything. Good. Start with your brain. I'm here to talk business and I find you with. With women all over the place. You haven't got water on your brain. You've got Chanel number five. Feel good when this Is it? I never want to see you again. Oh, honey, don't say that. I'll. I'll kill myself. That's all I ever get, promises. I've had enough of this. I'm leaving. Me too. I've had about as much as I could stand to. I'm getting out of here on the train. I wonder if the United nations would handle my case. Hiya, Bill. Everything turn out all right?

The Broadway show was a musical. And then they did a musical version of the movie My Sister Eileen. And that's where a lot of people are getting a little off on the wrong track on that.

Well, wasn't that from the Harvey Girls? No, no, no. The Harvey Girls was. I think Judy Garland was the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe and all that sort of thing. Sorry. They didn't sing that on the train when they were tasting on the sandwiches. No, that was from. Did the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe go to Ohio? Yeah, it started from Ohio and it came on.

Four people trapped in a steel cage in total darkness, hundreds of feet above street level. One seeks death. One loves mystery, One believes he has the answers and one has met the answer. That's the framework on which is built the special Easter edition of Unshackled here. The blackout on easter Sunday at 4:30 on WLTD. Well, let's see. Let's see if we can't try another stumper for you. As long as we weren't able to connect on that one. I think it was a little far out with the Edie Adams thing. I'm maybe almost have a bit of a slight doubt in my mind on this. We have to check it out a little bit. Anyway, here's a song. All I want to know is the name of the show that this came from.

And hello, you're on the air. You know who where that came from. I mean, yes, sir, that's Where's Charlie based on Charlie's Aunt and Ray Bolger singing it. Alright now, one last shot for you. What was the year of the Broadway show? Oh, all I could think of, Charlie's Aunt, I think, was out on the lake, late 40s. So this must be the early 50s. Well, actually, where's Charlie was produced on the stage in 1948. Pretty close. Yeah. No, sorry, you don't lose. They did a movie version of Where's Charlie as well. And of course, was there a movie version of Charlie's Aunt? Oh, there you got me. I really couldn't tell you. Yeah, there was. Who do you think was the star of the movie version of Charlie Zand? Now, Charlie's Aunt is a story about. There's a couple of youngsters out there who don't know the story of Charlie's Aunt. It's about a couple of college guys who are trying to. Well, let's see, they're putting on a masquerade. Anyway, it's a series of complex things, but one of them dresses up as the aunt of the other guy. Right? So this was one of the guys in drag. Actually, Jack Benny starred in the movie Charlie's Aunt. Oh boy, those were the days. Well, let's see, we've got something for you. How about. Oh, let's see, what's on the list? How about a W.C. fields record album for you? Oh, that'd be great. All right, you can pick it up sometime when you're our guest at a Memory Club meeting in the. Well, how nice.

Speaking of a private detective, how about tuning into a good one right now? Now it's Mike Shane, Private Detective, starring Jeff Chandler. I was driving pretty fast when the big black sedan came roaring at me. I tried to hold the car from crashing into the guardrail, but suddenly the wheel twisted out of my hands like a headstrong woman and the car got a mind of its own. The New adventures of Michael Shane, Private Detective. Michael Shane, reckless redheaded Irishman back again in his old haunts in New Orleans. This is director Bill Russo inviting you to listen to another transcribed episode which we call the Pursuit of Death. Hey there. What do you read? Hi, Charlie. Oh, hi, mister. Mr. Shane. Got the five star hot off the press. Yeah, thanks. What? Take a look at Dream Girl, Charlie. You know, when you grow up. Yeah, but she looks like she's asleep on her feet. Hey, paper lady. What? I said, paper lady. Don't do that. Don't talk behind my back. In back. Okay, okay, lady. Boy, she must have a bad dream. No, Charlie. It isn't sleep in her eyes. It's fear. Hey, look out. What are you trying to do, get yourself killed or haven't you heard? It's bad to walk in front of traffic. Somebody pushed me. I'm behind. Didn't you see? Nobody pushed you. Lady, I told you I was pushed. I was just walking. I I didn't want to cross the street. Somebody pushed me. Okay, okay. Somebody pushed you. You feel better now? Yes. Yes, I did. Good. And I'll be.

Look, lady, did you ever think of going to a doctor? Maybe. Maybe you're just imagining things. That business with a pushing. Oh, no. Oh, no. No. Wait on waiting. Waiting and waiting For a chance to kill me. In a moment we'll return to the new adventures of Michael Shane and the Pursuit of death. What did you say to the BX clerk who sold you $25 worth of gifts? Sack it to me. Sack it to me. Ronald's gonna furnish our house at the bx. He doesn't believe in being off base. I'm a first baseman. You a ball player? No. I do all my buying first at the base exchange. It had been a particularly dull day. Even the weather had been dull with heavy clouds hanging over the city. New Orleans gets days like that. They make the is sleepy. I quit the office at 5 and stopped on the corner to buy my paper from Charlie the newsboy. Then this Joan Crawford type got in the way of a car and would have been hit if I hadn't hauled her back onto the sidewalk. She must have gone for my daring do because she hired me on the spot. Yeah, to protect her. She thought somebody was trying to kill her. I was in no position to argue with someone holding 20 a day under my nose. So I started to drive her home. I found out her name. Shirley Kernan. But she wasn't in a talking mood, so I just let her relax. She put her head against the back of the seat and Closed her eyes. Fifteen minutes later, when I pulled up in front of the house, her eyes were still closed. Please don't move. Don't you want to go in? I'd like to just sit here for a minute. I haven't felt quiet and restful like this for a long time. My day started at 5. I've got lots of time. A foolish woman. Afraid of shadows. Yeah. There are shadows and shadows in New Orleans. You can't imagine what it's like. All the time, day and night, with a feeling someone is following me. Right behind my shoulder. All the time. You. You talked it over with your husband? How did you. Oh. Oh, my ring. He's away on a business trip. Well, if you want me to earn that 20 a day, you better give me something to go on. That's what makes it hard, Mr. Shane. It's a feeling. I tried to fight it myself, but I can't. It's there all the time. Someone right behind me. He said he's trying to get. Kill you. Once it was a car. A small convertible. At night, I. I stepped off the curb, and this car started towards me. I jumped back just in time. Recognize the car? Johnny Terrence. A friend. A friend of my husband's. But he hates me. Johnny's always hated me. You think he's the guy that. If anybody I know was responsible, he must be the one. Well, I can have it too. With him, I don't know. I don't know. Right now I feel secure, relaxed. Because I'm here. It's a switch. I can't fight this thing alone. Shirley. Been wondering where you were. Hello, Ralph. Michael Shane, Ralph Pierce. How do you do? Mr. Shane's a detective. Ralph. Here you go again. I'm a child cat. The cat. Second dog, surely. Take. The cat's just after the bird, Mrs. Kearney. Sucking. Creeping up There. There. The bird flew away. This happened often, Mrs. Standard. Screaming Mr. Shane, would you wait here just a moment? Yeah, sure. Come, my dear. I want to talk to you. Mr. Sh. You wait for me in the. Mr. Shane, you are a detective? That's what the lady said. I presume you are to investigate Shirley's hallucination. Right again, Mr. Pierce. I'd like to help you. Yeah. You look like you're bubbling over with good intentions. What I mean is save you trouble. Oh. You see, Mrs. Kernan is subject to mental aberrations. There must be an easier word. This pursuit phobia here, it's all mental, like a too vivid imagination. Like a hypochondriac who knows? There's nothing wrong with him, but still feels aches and pains. Nobody's following him. Nobody. Nobody's trying to kill him? Absolutely not. Well, you know, before that cat and bird affair, I had the same opinion. But it must be nice to be as positive as you are about something. I know, Mr. Shane. That's what I said. You see, I'm new here. I just started to work. How you do? How do you fit in? I'm a friend of Shirley's. And Ms. Johnny Terrence. He's a friend of her husband. That's right. I just want to get it all straight in my mind now. What does this husband think of your being a friend of Shirley's? Mr. Shane, I've been trying to help you. Yeah, just the way I thought you would. I could get to dislike you, Shane. You work on it, Pierce. With a little effort, I'm sure you could get to hate me. Like I said, if it wasn't for that cat and bird business, I'd have probably washed it off Quick, charged the 20 to experience and gone home. But when I got finished talking to Pierce, it gave me ideas. Maybe somebody was trying to drive her crazy. Maybe Pierce, maybe her husband. Maybe this Johnny Terrence had some answers. Wouldn't hurt to find out. Now, Mr. Terrence was home when I got there, getting ready to go out. The playboy type. Got a heavy date. Mr. Shane, what can I do for you? Information, Mr. Terrence. About what? Shirley Kernan. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm much too much in a hurry. I understand you're a friend of her husband's. Stan and I were very good friends once. Were she fixed that. Well, she doesn't like you either, and that's a compliment. You'll pardon me now, she's in a pretty bad way. I'm trying to help her. Right ahead. What can you tell me about Shirley? Nothing. Look, Johnny boy, I'm trying to be nice. It's tough, but I'm trying. You've been following her. That what you wanted to ask me? One of the things. Really, Mr. Shane, I'm late now for an interview. You'd be real sorry if something happened to her, wouldn't you, Terence? Oh, it would break my heart. Oh, real sweet guy. Hard to go. Goodbye, Mr. Shane. I should learn to control my temp. What is there about your kind of guy that riles me? Do I have to use force to get you to leave? You know it'd be a pleasure. All right, Shane, that's a sucker punch. Leaving with your right. Didn't they ever teach you that at prep school? Get out. Get out. Yeah. Yeah, sure. You know, I. I feel better. Yes, sir. I feel much better. These lounge lizards are all cut from the same pattern. You want to hit them the minute you see the supercilious grin on their faces. I was happy. This one gave me the opportunity. But I got the feeling there was another side to this guy. His hate on Shirley Kernan went deep and smoldered steady. There was too much parlor stuff. Pierce was oily and Terrance was full of hate. The air was loaded with unspoken things and bitter feelings. Shirley Kernan was right at the core of it, too. Maybe something I wasn't paying enough attention to was her husband. I was a traveling salesman who wanted to drive my wife crazy. I'd sure do it while I was supposed to be on the road. Well, I. I kicked it around in my head as I drove toward town. I wasn't going very fast when I noticed a big black sedan come roaring up the to pass me. I eased over to the right to give him plenty of room, but he wanted more. I eased over until I was practically scraping the paint off the guardrail. And protecting the highway from a 30 foot drop. I thought this guy must be three sheets to the wind. And. And then he really came at me. My car suddenly started to rumble. I, I tried to fight the wheel and get a look at the guy in the sedan, but I couldn't do both. I I couldn't even do one. The guardrail splintered like matchsticks and the steering wheel jumped out of my hands. I felt the car go up on his nose, poised for a second like a graceful elephant. Sometimes I get a head full of sense. I ducked the rear end, won the toss. We started downhill, bouncing and rolling and twisting. Hung, hung and just poked. I kept bouncing around and hitting the side so often, so hard I felt like a skater for a handball in a hot four wall game. I caught a flash of a big tree. And then. And everything stopped. Except that crazy front wheel spinning uselessly in the air. Spinning and spinning. Then the sandman came. I got very tired and closed my eyes. In a moment we'll return to the new adventures of Michael Shane and the Pursuit of Death. What do Americans believe? Here's Hollywood movie star Phyllis Kirk. I believe that in merely being alive, we have a tremendous responsibility. And that the responsibility is not only to our separate selves, but to one another. I believe it is in fear that we commit the crimes of intolerance and prejudice. And that's the first portion of the Pursuit of Death on Mike Shane, Private Eye. That's an armed forces program, as you may have determined from some of the little propaganda that's spilled throughout there. And we'll get back to that in just a moment. You're tuned to WLTD. This is Chuck Shaden in the hall closet. It's 23 minutes before 10 o'. Clock. We know what you're looking for. Cause we look for the good things, too.

The humidity is 84%. And the wind is out of the southeast at 17 miles an hour. Let's get back to Mike Shane. My first reaction to Shirley Kernan's hysterical fear. About someone following her all the time and waiting to pounce on her was that she needed a doctor, not a private detective. But a couple of things happened that made me curious. First, there was this thing with the cat and a bird that almost me to go off the deep end. And then Ralph Pierce, her friend, tried to ease me out in the parlor. Punk Johnny Terran seemed to have some secrets, too. Finally, I got into an argument with a black sedan and lost the argument. My car went through the guardrail and over. And then I passed out. When I came to, the front wheel was in the air still turning lazily. Like a ballerina ending a pirouette. So I knew I. I hadn't been out very long. Then a door was pulled open and I saw a lot of sky. And Pierce's head right in the middle of Mr. Shane. What happened? I was Driving along and I. Hello, Pierce. You. You just happened along, huh? Why, yes. I was driving along, saw this car down here. I had no idea it was yours. It's quite a coincidence. Yes. Here, let me give you a hand. Yeah. Thank you. Can you walk all right? Yeah, I guess so. No broken bones. At least no important ones. Do you have many enemies, Mr. Shane? Whoever took me on this joyride wasn't a friend. Pierce. I'll take you to town in my car. You can call for a toll car at the first gas station. My insurance company's sure gonna hate me. You know, Mr. Shane, what I was telling you before about Mrs. Kernan. Perhaps I was wrong. I think so, huh? I still don't believe Shirley's suffering from anything but delusions. But whoever did this to you perhaps was meant as a warning. To mind my own business, yes. This sort of thing happens to be my business. Certainly the money she's paying you can't compensate for bodily danger. Maybe not, but. Is that your car, Mr. Pierce? Yes. Black sedan, right? Fenders scraped and dimpled. You know, the car that pushed me over is a dead ringer for yours, as you said before. Quite a coincidence, isn't it? You seem to be quite a boy for coincidences. You see this bump on my jaw or hit the dashboard? Yes. Well, here comes another coincidence. You'll regret this now. Later. I'm too busy now. You want to ride back to town? The tow car will be coming back in a while. Why don't you wait, Mr. Pierce? Pierce's car purred like a contended tiger. I figured I'd stop at my office, clean up a bit. And get my.38 before I went any further on this case. I parked in front of my building, Went up to the office with my hand on the doorknob. I had a feeling. Not bad, but maybe just a little uneasy. I threw the door open and stepped aside. Nothing happened. Craned my neck and took a look. There was a man sitting in my client chair. The one with springs. At least I think it was a man. He had a turban on his head and flowing robes that covered his feet. His skin was dark and very white. Teeth smiled at me as he went into a short commercial. Permit me to introduce myself, Mr. Shane. I am Remu, seal and mystic in the realm of the mind. I am a friend of Mrs. Kerman. Not another one. I am aware you are trying to help her. Yeah. What can I do for you? Perhaps I can eat you. Perhaps. All I want to find out is whether her life is really in danger? Or if she just imagines her life's in danger, her life is in danger. Danger. But I do not believe it is from a physical source. Nobody's trying to kill her. No one but herself. We all contain within ourselves the seeds of our own destruction. Yeah. No, I don't place you in this setup. I want to help her too. You know John Terrence? No. I only know that Mrs. Kernan dislikes him and that he evidently dislikes like sir. Yeah, with gusto. How about Pierce? Ralph Pierce? A malignant person, Mr. She an evil person? Oh, I do not know him well, I met him only once, but I felt the evil. It was my second meeting with him before I felt anything. What about Shirley's husband? Would he be trying to drive her out of her mind? Mr. Shane, these problems of the mind, they are susceptible of various interpretations. You understand, I am A friend of Mrs. Colonel. Yeah, you said that. I want only for her to have peace. Go on. There is one thing. Mrs. Kernan has always worn a necklace of one in particular she was fond a heavy gold mesh necklace. For many weeks now, she has ceased to wear it. I asked her about it, but she reacted strangely. I feel it is important. Yeah. What's the matter? Don't your feelings have the answer? Oh, these problems of the mind. And you think someone is trying to drive her out of her mind? That explanation is much too simple, Mr. Shane. I fear when you find the answer, it will prove to be a great deal more sinister. It was beginning to percolate like a gentle little thing. Removes words, stirred softly. Seemed to say something beyond what I actually heard. It would fit too. Would answer all the questions. Well, it was late, almost 11 o' clock when I parked in front of Shirley Kernan's house. Went up the front steps. I could hear voices behind the door. Rang the bell. What's the matter? Am I interrupting something? No, no, no. How about inviting me in then? Oh. Oh, here. Come in. Okay. Okay. Take it easier. Well, hello, Terrence. What happened? You two kiss and make up? This is my cue to exit. So long, Shirley. Relax. I'll see you some other time when the house isn't all cluttered. Always on the wing. Stick around, butterfly. I want words with you this time. You don't catch me off balance sheet. You see? You're still a sucker for that. Right? Right. Lead. All right. What are you doing here? What do you think he's doing here? He's trying to frighten me. Well, Terence, I just wanted to find out if she'd heard from her husband. I haven't heard from Stan since he left. He usually writes, that's all. You could have telephoned for. I did. She refused to talk to me. Have you heard from your husband, Mrs. Kern? No. Gone quite a long time, hasn't he? Doesn't he usually write? Are you going to start on me now? I thought I could depend on you, Shirley. How about Pierce? Don't you depend on him? I am cheat. Shirley. Don't you make Stan's life miserable? No wonder he likes to go on the road to get away from you. No wonder he doesn't write. I hate you. I hate you. You're the one behind all this. You're the one creeping behind me all the time. Ask him. Go on, ask him. Here's the thing of feeling behind me. It's him, I tell you. Evil. Rotten. You belong in a hospital. You see? You see, Mrs. Kernan, you used to wear a gold mesh necklace. You don't wear it anymore. Why? No, no. May I see it, please? Sure you can. What are you doing to do to me? You're all against me. You'd all like to see me dead. Look, Mrs. Kerner. What is it? You hear it? I don't hear a thing. You're out of your in this room now. It's behind me. Coming closer. Well, whatever it is, it's not inside the room. It's not behind you. Come in. Well, hello, everybody. What's the gun for, Pierce? Just protection, surely. Come with me. Put it away, Pierce. I haven't forgotten our last meeting, Shane. Not one bit. Come on, Shirley. I won't go with you. I won't. I won't. You'll do as I say, Shirley. You're all against me. No one cares about. I do, my dear. It's here. It's here in this room. Coming closer. It won't touch me. I won't let it. Shirley, come back here. Shirley, you won't find me. I'll hide and be with myself. All by myself. Safe. Well, Pierce, you didn't make the grade in the big scene as a stand in for her husband. You're a flop. Scene isn't over yet. Let's have my car key. Shane, I lost. I'm in no mood to quibble about shooting you. Shane. It's Brett. Yeah, thanks. Now, if you two are wise men, you'll stay here. Everything's under control now. Let's keep it that way without bloodshed. I don't get this. What goes on? You got a car, Terence? Yes, outside. You want to find out what it's all about. Yes, but what's happened to Shirley? It looks like we'll have the answer pretty quick. Come on. And we'll lose them. Terrence drove. He was a pretty good driver for a guy who spent most of his time steering his way around nightclub tables. We went through the downtown section faster than the law allows, keeping Pierce's car in sight. Once or twice, we spotted Shirley's coupe a few blocks ahead of Pierce. Pierce didn't know it, but he was mighty helpful. We kept on in Indian file. They're heading out of town. We're doing 70 and not catching up. How? The tires on the Shellaby Terrence front ones are fine. In the back? We'll find out, huh? Maybe I had you wrong, Terence. You got guts. Thanks, Shane. Come around the office sometime. Give you a few lessons in the manly art. It's a deal if I can practice on you. Like I said, maybe I got you wrong. They're taking a fork to the left and slowing up. Hi. Careful. We're getting too close. Got one of the headlights. All right, turn them off. We don't need them. Pierce's shot at us was sort of a feeble last effort. And, of course, he must have known was lost. We got around the bend. Pierce's car was just pulling off the road a few feet behind Shirley's coupe. There's a grassy place near the river. Shirley was running, her hair flying in the wind. A bright moon had cut the clouds. It was almost like twilight. Sort of eerie. Pierce started out after as we parked and we started after them. She reached a sandy place in the bank and fell to her knees. Pierce got to her and started to bend down to pick her up. But he. He stopped halfway and just watched, sort of fascinated. Then it hit me full force. I stopped dead. What is it, Shane? What's she doing? It's all over, Terrence. Nobody can help Shirley Kernan anymore. In a moment, we'll be back with a thrilling climax to tonight's Michael Shane adventure. Four score and seven years ago. Each year, some 2 million visitors to Washington, D.C. read those words of the Gettysburg Address from the inscription on one wall of the Lincoln Memorial. On another wall is the second inaugural address. And in the center sits Daniel Chester French's majestic figure of the Great Emancipator. One of the most beautiful tributes to a great man. The Lincoln Memorial is another American landmark of liberty. We'll return to the exciting conclusion of Michael Shane in just a moment. It's 10 minutes until 10. We're gonna toss our cares away. Soak up the sun all day. Take a great big breath of fresh air. It's a great time for a picnic. Thanks to Frigidaire. This month.

Chicagoland's leading Frigidaire dealer, Chuck Shaden, in the hall closet. WLTD Lakefront, 53 O', Hare, 63 Midway. Officially 62. Back to Mike Shane. We stood there about 50 yards from the river. Watch Shirley Kernan on our hands and knees at the bank of the river. It was all cold inside and sort of sick. Terrence had stopped when I did. He. He didn't get it. Come on, Shane. What are you waiting for? All right. All right, Terence. Shirley's hands were in the sand when we got there. She was digging furiously and mumbling to herself. Pierce was quiet. Swans hands and. And be clean again. And having me again. Nobody will be able to touch me or hurt me. Hubby me. And all along, girlie. Don't, my dear. I'll handle it. Please. All right, Mrs. Kernan. It's all right. I must take. I must. No. No. Everything's all right. Nobody will hurt you. Nobody will hurt me. No. You're safe. No. I don't get it, Sean. I sound like a broken record, but I don't get it. Strain was too much. Pierce can tell you, can't you, Pierce? Yes. Yes. It's all over now. All over. We left Shirley's car there. She drove back to town with Terence and me. Pierce followed. Shirley was like a child now, looking up at me with those big eyes. As if I were going to protect her. Only there wasn't even fear in her eyes anymore. Just a blank kind of look that I never want to see again. She's really cracked up, hasn't she? Yeah, like humpty. Dumpty and all the king's men. But why? What caused it? Oh, it's simple enough. The way she lost control when she saw a cat stalking a bird on a lawn. The delusion she had of being followed. The idea someone was trying to jump on her from behind. And her gold necklace. I know all that. But I don't. Well, you see, she. She was running away. Nobody was following her. I don't have to run anymore. What was she running away from? Herself. What? A conscience. Pierce knew it all the time, I guess. Or suspected. He was trying to protect her. But he couldn't do it. No one could. Sometimes you get a case you don't like, that's your own business. And you take what you get. Shirley's mind had played a trick. It had forced the knowledge of her guilt into her subconscious. So that she was able to forget what she'd done. But her subconscious couldn't forget. The two forces fighting each other finally snapped her mind. I guess there's always some kind of retribution one way or another. In her case, the toughest kind. Next morning, when the police got to the spot at the bank of the Mississippi with shovels, they found what I knew they would. The proof of Shirley's guilt. The grave of Shirley's husband, Stanley Kernan. He'd been choked to death from behind with a gold mesh necklace. Our story is based on characters created by Brett Halliday.
