However, there are actually two Thanksgiving themed episodes of Cayce. We'll try to bring those to you at the right time of the year. Now this episode is from 1947. That might seem like we're jumping far ahead. In a way we are. But after that 1943 episode we played you last week, there are a grand total of seven episodes before we're into 1947 are available. And we don't have stats Cotsworth first episode as Casey either. So this is pretty much as good a place to start as any with Stats Cotsworth run. Now from November 27, 1947. Here is the episode after Turkey the Bell.

The Anchor Hawking Glass Corporation brings you crime photographer. Say, Casey, you think they'll ever put my statue in the hall of fame? What are you famous for, Ethelbert? For 27 straight years I always got the same part of the turkey. That's some kind of a record, ain't it? Well, because you consistently get it in the neck, that might make you notorious, but not really famous. No, no, Ethelbert, you know, you have to do something really big, you know, something important to deserve a famous name. Like what? Well, like Anchor Hawking, the most famous name in Gl. Good evening ladies and gentlemen. This is Tony Marvin. Every week at this time, the Anchor Hawking Glass Corporation of Lancaster, Ohio and its more than 10,000 employees bring you another adventure of Casey crime photographer, ace cameraman who covers the crime news of a great city. Written by Alonzo Dean Cole. Our adventure for tonight after turkey the bill, 7 o'clock in the evening. A medium priced uptown restaurant known as Petrarchus Olympian. At a table for two, a flashily dressed young man pushes aside his empty plate and says to the pretty girl who sits opposite, hey, that turkey wasn't half bad. You didn't leave much of it. Neither did you. Should I order dessert now? Uh huh. Hey waiter. Gus. Okay Keith. What do you want now? Joe, we're ready for the plum pudding now. Poop. Plum pudding. That's what you want too, isn't it Lottie? Yes. And coffee. Same here. Okay, Keith, I don't know why you won't let me do anything for you in a classy way. Lottie. I ask you out for a Thanksgiving spread and you make me bring you to a cheap place like this. Joe, you can't afford to throw your money away. How do you know what I can afford? I may not have as good a job as my cousin Bird yet, but that doesn't mean I. What Bird got to do with it? He's got plenty to do with it. He didn't have to work today. You'd be out with him now instead of me. I know Bird isn't working tonight, Joe. He came home before we left there. I could have had dinner with him if I'd wanted. Yeah. Oh, don't be like that, please. Why shouldn't I be? While I was in. While I was away, you and him became awful good friends. We were always friends, the three of us. We grew up on the same block. Yeah, but while I was away, he moved into your old man's room and house so he could be closer friends. Oh, don't start that again. Tonight we're out for a pleasant evening. And it has been pleasant so far. Please, Joe. All right. Comes out a dessert. Two plums of pudding and coffee. You know, when you go out with me. L. You're going to get class, whether you think I can afford it or not. I'm going to take you to dance land. I'm going to buy you a whole roll of tickets. Best you'd get out of that tight w. Fur is a soda in a movie. All right. It's all out, Gus, for me to check with him. You said it, Joe. All right, Joe. Since you won't drop the subject, we'll talk about birds. Well, he wants me to marry him. Figured that from that dirty double crosser. He isn't a double crosser. He knows I've been going with you since we were kids. And I've always been crazy about you. And while I was taking that bum wrap on the reformist party. You didn't take a bum wrap, Joe. You asked for what you got. All right, so the cops had the goods on me. That gave Bird no right to. Gave me a right to do a lot of thinking. So you decided a sneaky yellow drip like my cousin is a better bet than me. I don't think Ferd is sneaky or yellow. You don't? No. And I don't think you're a criminal. It's nice of you to say that. I'm not being nice. I'm saying what I believe. If you make me sure you've learned your lesson. Yeah. You won't have to worry about me liking Ferd or. Or anyone. There's never really been anybody but you, Joe. Only. Only I've got to be sure. How do I make you sure, Lottie? Just show me and dad that you're steady, that's all. And I've been showing you that since I came back, didn't I? Get a job right away? Yes, Joe, but. But I don't see how you can afford those two new suits and that overcoat with what you're making. Oh. Oh, I get it. Bird can buy clothes or take you out. And it's okay, isn't it? He's never had trouble with the cops. But the minute I spend an extra buck, you and your old man figure I've glommed it somewhere. Oh, no. Yes. Your old man especially hates my insides. He don't want you to have anything to do with. Dad hated you. He wouldn't let you stay at our rooming house. He rents rooms and I pay for the one I rent. That's business. And to ease your mind about the extra dough I spent, Lottie, I'm a lucky guy with dice and a good pool player. Here's your check, Keith. Thanks, Gus. Pay you so we can get out of here. We're going to dance land. What? Joe, I haven't got my wallet. Oh, you've lost your money. I don't know, maybe I left it home. Phone dad. He'll look in your room. Well, if he found it, I'd have to go there for her. It's only a few blocks. You stay here, Lottie, while I go and see. Oh, you don't have to leave the lady here, kid. You're an old custom and I know you come back and pay. Well, thanks, Guts, but I can make better time alone. Hand me over coat. Even that racket's the blue one now. Sure, sure. Ooh. Oh, this fancy coat. Nice and bright with red stripes. You got a class, kid. Yeah, but right now I got no dough. I'll come back as soon as I can, Lottie. I hope you find your money. Yeah, I hope so, too. And how. Gee, Casey, it's nice of you and Ms. Williams to have Thanksgiving dinner here in the Blue Note with me. Oh, we're nice people, Ethelbert. Well, the very best. True. Warm hearted and generous to a fault. Pass the salt. Also honest, kind and steadfast. Here's the salt and pepper. You know, we're really understating our sterling qualities, eh? We've risen to the heights of magnanimity, whatever that is, by chewing Thanksgiving turkey in this crummy joint we see every day simply because our little pal here had to work. Could only get away from his bartending long enough to grab a meal on the house. We hope you appreciate our sacrifice, Ethelbert. Oh, I do. Good. Pardon my reach for the Tabasco to prove your Gratitude, Ethelbert. You can pay for our dinners. Yeah, well, Tabasco, any, huh? Thanks. Hey, you've made a splendid suggestion, Casey. Paying our bill will relieve Ethelbert of a small part of his obligation for our company. Say, come to think of it, you two are working today yourselves. You didn't have time to get a full meal any further away from your office than this crummy joint. Ethelbert, you impugned our motive. He destroys my faith in human nature, Casey. Ah, yes, the spirit of the day is entirely lost upon this lug, Casey. If you'd pay me what you already owed this crummy joint I'd be only too happy to buy you dinner. Get it, Walter? This guy's too wise for us, Annie, huh? I'm afraid so, Casey. Casey. Oh, yeah, Walter. You want in the bar phone? You sit down. Oh, nuts. I'm only just finished my turkey. Oh, this means no dessert, Casey. I'll see what Burke wants. Well, stall him off if you can. Yeah, I'll do my best, Danny. Hello, Grace. Hello, Casey speaking. Look, Burke, we haven't finished our dinner yet. Oh, all right, all right. Wait till I get my pencil. Corner of Whitestone and Evans. Well, what happened there? But is that all? For a run of the mill story like that, we gotta leave our dessert. Well, okay, Burke. All right, goodbye. Why I stick to this newspaper racket, I don't know. What was it, Kate? Look, we gotta get out to Whitestone and Evans. Ann, some mug just held up a filling station there and got away with a couple of hundred. Did he shoot anyone? No, no, just one of those inside page fillers. Burke says news is light and we gotta cover it. All right, where is Whitestone and Evans? Way uptown, not far from Petrakis Olympian Restaurant. You know, we've eaten there a couple of times. Yeah, I remember. Hi. Any descriptions of holdup guys? Yeah, he wore a flashy blue overcoat with red stripes. See you later, pal. So long, Ethelbert. So long. Say, wait. Who's gonna pay for this crummy joint? Our story will continue in just a moment. In mansion or cottage, in city or town Thanksgiving Day is a time for family reunions, feasting and fun. But through all the gaiety, there runs a deep note of real Thanksgiving for blessings past and present. There's a tacit recognition that a better fed nation is a stronger, happier nation. And one of the ways in which the American way has made its greatest progress is in the production, preparation and distribution of food. Now, take the matter of delivering food alone. The great organizations who process and Ship us our better foods. Know that flavor, purity and freshness are best preserved by clean, sanitary glass. And that's why as you look around the shelves of your food stores, you see that so many famous brands are brought to you in gleaming protective containers made of glass. Containers that preserve and safeguard flavor and taste while they permit you to see in advance exactly what you're buying. It's noteworthy that many of the leading brands of food of all kinds come to you in anchor glass containers sealed with tamper proof anchor caps. Products of anchor hocking, the most famous name in glass. Now here's what happened, Ms. Williams. I'm working the station, see. I'm here in the office when this hold up guy opens the door and says, give me a doll. He had a gun, of course. Oh, sure, he had a gun. The time was about a quarter past seven. What did you notice about the guy aside from his flashy overcoat? Well, he wore his hat pulled down over his eyes and a. A handkerchief was tied around the lower part of his face. Also, he worked fast. What did he do? Well, he told me to get into the gent's restroom there and to keep quiet. He locked the door on me and I heard him open up the money drawer there. And then I heard him leave the joint. I started pounding on the door and after a while I managed to bust out. That was about a quarter to eight. And then I phoned the cop. You mind if I shoot a picture of that busted door, sergeant? Go ahead, Casey. Thanks. You'll want to picture me too, won't you, Mr. Casey? Huh? Oh, sure, yeah, the door. And you. I'll shoot the door first. It's gonna give me old lady a big kick to see me written up with a paper saying, hey, was this big puddle of grease in front of this door Jones, when the hold up guy locked you in? Oh, yeah, yeah, I spilled it there earlier and I had enough time to clean it up. The mug must have stepping in, Casey. Along with a description of his flashy coat I've sent out. I included instructions to look for a guy with dirty grease stains on his shoes. Well, the two things together ought to nail him, sir. Yeah, I told the sergeant something else that ought to nail a guy. What's that? Well, one of the bills he stole out of the money drawer was an old 20 that had been torn in two and kind of stuck together with scotch tape. I took it in just before the robbery, so I remember. It looks like you cops have plenty to work on, Sarge. Yeah, well, we got all There is Annie. Let's blow out of here, get back to the Blue Note, get some plum pudding and coffee. Ha, ha. Come on. Hey, ain't you gonna take my picture first? Oh, yeah, yeah. I'll. I'll kind of stand here by the empty cash drawer and point my finger at it. That'll be original. A standing point, pal. Go ahead. Great. All set now shoot. Jones. Hey, Gus, I'm getting my picture took. Don't walk in front of the camera. I have just heard what happened to you about that guy in the blue overcoat, which hold you up. Well, I'll tell you all about that later, Gus, soon as I get my picture. No, no. I tell you and those cop about it. Now you'll tell. Who are you? Oh, I am Gus Nicopolis. I am waiting in Petrakas Olympian restaurant three blocks from here. And I know who is the kid who robbed my good friend Zones. You know? Yeah, I know. Soon as I am told the news about that fancy overcoat. What are you talking about? What are you talking about? I tell you cops everything. Even where to find this hold up, kid. He tell me he is going with his girl to danceland. You got no right to pull me off that dance floor, copper. You don't believe this waiter, Sergeant Joe hasn't held up anybody. We're going to see about that. Close the door, will you, Casey? Okay, sarge. Now, this overcoat we got from the check room, it's yours, isn't it, Bowers? Yeah, that's my coat. And you, Jones, say the guy who stuck you up wore a coat just like it. It's the same coat, sergeant. You're not suspended. I bought this blanket and a couple of dozen just like it. Now, take it easy, kid. If your story's okay, we'll check on everyone who owns a coat like this. I'm gonna search you. While I'm at it, you can tell us what you did after leaving Petrakis restaurant after you couldn't find your wallet, I mean. I went straight to my room and house. I looked for my dough. Finally I found it in a dresser drawer and I came straight back to Petraka's for Lottie. That's Ms. Newcomb here. The dough's in that wallet you just took out of my pocket. It's about 40 bucks and it's mine. I didn't steal it. Hey, is that torn 20 in the wallet, sergeant? No, Jo. Torn 20. I guess he hasn't got a gun on him either, sir. He's clean, Casey. So are his shoes. Grease would show up plain on those light tans. He may have changed shoes and hidden a few things.

How far is your rooming house from that filling station, kid? Two blocks away down Evans Street. My father runs it. How long did Joe leave you in Patrikasis while he was finding his money? I didn't time him. It wasn't more than 15 minutes. Maybe a half an hour. So what? So you had plenty of time to stick up Jones and go to your room before you came back to Petragon. All right, of us. Away. You dope it, copper. Search my room. I'm gonna do that little thing, young fella. All of you, let's go. Lottie, why have you and Joe come home with all these people and these policemen? Everything's all right, dad. They've made a mistake about Joe, but it's going to be all right. A mistake about Joe? A big mistake. Mr. Newcomb, I don't understand. I'm Sergeant Healy, Fifth Detective District. There was a stick up a few blocks from here tonight, and Joe Bowers here is under suspicion. A stick up Joe? He didn't do it, Dad. I know he didn't. You were with him, Lottie. You must know your daughter wasn't with him for a long half hour. Mr. Newcomb, I haven't taken time to get a search warrant, so I'd like your permission to go over Joe's room. Give him a go ahead. I have. They'll find nothing to tie me up with any heist, John. All right with you, sir? Oh, yes, sir. Of course. Thanks. Take me to your room, Bowers. Come on. Everybody else stay here with this uniformed officer. Ms. Williams and I'd like to go with you and Joe, Sarge. Okay, kz? No, thanks, Sarge. My room's on the next floor. It's right up those stairs. Lead the way, kid. And don't try anything tricky. Why should I try anything? All you got on me is that a stick up guy wore an overcoat like mine. And that's all you're going to get. There's the door in my room, copper. Open it. Make yourself at home. Give me a key. The door isn't locked. I never bother. Hmm. I'll turn on the lights. I'll do your stuff. I will. You won't find anything locked up here. Cause I got nothing worth stealing and nothing to hide. Now, if you were going to work in my cousin's room across the hall, you'd need a fistful of keys. He's one of those careful, secretive guys, you know. You got a cousin Living across the hall. Yeah. His name's Ferd. A Ferdinand. And is he a crumb. I think it you don't like him? I like him about as much as he likes me. Maybe more because he's been making a play for my girl. He isn't getting anywhere. How you doing, copper? You see anything of the dough I'm supposed to have stolen or the gat you think I use in that sticker? Not yet, kid, and you won't. I'm 100% in the clear. Oh, yeah? How did this get under your carpet? What, Casey? A torn twenty dollar bill stuck together with Scotch tape. I never saw that bill before. And I think Jones will identify it as the one taking from his cash drawer. Wait a minute. There's more dough under this rug, sarge. A couple of hundred bucks at least. Nice politician. I don't know how it got there. I didn't pull that sticker. Cut the comedy, Joe. This money nails you. This is a frame up, I tell you, it's a frame. Where to hide your gun? I never had a gun, I swear. I'm clean, kid. Where's the gun? Wait a minute, will you give me a break? Let me think. Let me think a minute. Yeah, yeah. There's just one mug will pull a thing like this. And if you're right, guys, you won't let them get away with it. Question Ferd, Sergeant. Question my cousin Ferd. His room's right across the hall. Might be a good idea, Sergeant. Okay, let's go over Ezra. Yes, I. I'd like to talk to you a minute. This is the police. Just a second. I'm just starting to get ready for bed. I'm Detective Sergeant Healey, young man. This is Ms. Williams and Mr. Casey. Are you. Hello there. What do you want? Let me close this door. Your cousin Joe here has made some accusations against you that it's my duty to investigate. Oh, he has, has he? Do you own an overcoat like Joe's here? Blue with red stripes. An overcoat like that, have you ever worn one? I wouldn't wear a zoo blanket like that if you paid me. You say Yes, I say. Mind if I look around your room? Why, Bert, someone wearing an overcoat like Joe's held up the Whitestone filling station tonight. What? You know where I bought this coat, Bird? I think you got one just like it on the qt. I think you slipped my wallet out of my pocket just before I left here with Lottie tonight so I'd have to leave her and look for it. You were Watching the rest of them. When I left it, you went to that village. Why, you crazy, sergeant? You can't believe it. Maybe I don't. But I want to search your room. Oh, wait a minute. Huh? Have you got a search warrant? No. Hey, get out of here. Say, I know I write. Unlike a certain relative of mine, I've got a clean record. Who are you calling a loud? You, Joe. Why, I'll knock your teeth out. Cut it up. Cut it, both of you. So you don't want me to search your room? Hey, young fella, you heard me before. Sergeant. Hey, Pa, wait a minute. You're taking the wrong attitude. You got nothing to hide. This isn't the way to show it. He's got a good reason for saying you can't search. And I'm gonna prove it. Keep out of that closet, Joe. Take me if you can. I'll make you your. Hold it, Fergie. Let me go. Come on, Joe. I'd get a warrant. You need a warrant, Sarge? Look there. What? In the back of his closet, covered with other clothes. Oh, an overcoat. Like yours, Just like mine. And in his pocket there's a gun. I never saw that coat before. I never saw that gun. Well, somebody did. Come on. I'm taking a boast of headquarters. I don't know how that overcoat got in my closet. Sergeant, I swear I never saw it or that gun before. So you've been saying, Ford. Both of you get into this. You did this to me, Joel. Sure, I got wise to your frame up your louse. I threw it right back at you. We'll continue our discussion at the station house. Of course, you'll only hold me long enough to get my testimony. I'll be back home in an hour or so, maybe. You and Ms. Williams tagging along after us, Casey? No, Sarge. I may give you a buzz later, though. We still have our Thanksgiving dinner to finish. Why don't you two get jobs that won't make you work on holidays? Why don't you? You mean like Captain Logan? I've been thinking about it for the last 25 years. Good night. Nice Dr. Haley. Come on, let's get into our car, Casey, and get our stuff to the paper. Going back to that rooming house. Annie, why are you convinced that Cousin Bird framed Cousin Joe? Well, his attempt to prevent a search of his room didn't look very good. Annie. I'm just thinking. Well, Joe found that overcoat with what might be called surprising ease. It's hard to believe that Joe would invite his Own arrest in order to frame his cousin. Why, one little slip framer, whoever he is, did make a slip, Annie. His plan didn't anticipate a grease puddle. And he had to get rid of a pair of shoes that may walk back and kick him. None of the shoes in Joe's room or in furs had any grease stains on them. No, Sergeant Healy hasn't forgotten those missing shoes. And he'll be back pretty soon to really look for them. Well, I'm going to start looking right now. Ring Newcomb's bell. Sometimes I wish your snooping instincts were more restrained, Casey. I'd like a cup of coffee now and Pop. Hi, Mr. Newcomb. Mr. Casey. Yes? May we come in? Of course. But I. We didn't go with Sergeant Healy and his prisoners. I wanted to ask, how's your daughter? Now, she wasn't taking this thing very well when we left. Oh, she feels terrible about it, Ms. Williams. Perhaps a woman can talk to her better than I can. Will you try to convince her that everything will come out all right? I'll gladly try, Mr. Newcomb. She's in our private living room. Go on in and talk to her alone, Annie. I'll stay here. All right. It breaks my heart to see my girl crying, Mr. Casey. She's all I have. She blames herself for what has happened. It isn't her fault that two young fools became so infatuated with her. I knew they hated each other, but I never anticipated anything like this. No, guess not. Of course, you had some reason for coming back here, Mr. Casey. Yes, I came back to ask your permission. Yes, I want permission to ask if you personal questions between ourselves and off the record. Very well. You haven't wanted Joe for a son in law, have you? In my place, would you? The boy has served a reformatory sentence that, according to my observation, has failed to steady him or improve his sense of values. Ferd has been Joe's opposite, I imagine he always seems so. Lottie strikes me as a pretty sensible girl, Mr. Newcomb. Unless one of those fellows confesses he framed the other, or it can be definitely proven, she'll doubt both of them too much to marry either one of them. Yes, I think that's so. And as there'll be no confession or definite proof, things should work out exactly as you planned. As I planned? You're the guy behind this double frame up, Mr. Keisha. You didn't think I'd be back, did you? You shouldn't have changed back into those comfortable old shoes after Sergeant Healy left here. You Did a lousy job of cleaning off that grease. But you held up that filling station and frame both the boys to keep your daughter from marrying either one of them. I was very foolish, wasn't I? Yes, I think so. Shall I call Sergeant Healy? All right, you can call Sergeant Healy. Mr. Casey, I'm ready to confess. Wait a minute. Wait. Let me take a close look at those shoes. What? The pool of grease in that filling station you heard us talk about wasn't deep enough to reach far above the soles of a shoe. Hey, you greased those shoes yourself. You spread it on so thick it covers the toes and heels. I didn't spread it on, Hal. You're a beautiful liar and I'm a beautiful dope. You greased those shoes and put them on knowing the cops had come back and spot them. You were willing to take the rap because your kid is in love with one of those punks. You can prove that? Nobody can. And when I confess, that's all that's needed. You forget. The police lab will compare the grease on these shoes with a filling station grease and it won't be the same. And then Sergeant Healy will go right back to work on Joe and Ferd. The police laboratory can tell? Yes, definitely, Mr. Newcomb. But if it couldn't, don't you think your confession would be much harder for your daughter to take than the loss of a little rat? She? But I. I couldn't bear to see her cry anymore. All I could think of to do was. What I tried. You see, I know the guilty boy, Mr. Casey. And she's loved Joe ever since they were children. No Joe. I found his grease stained shoes hidden in the cellar tonight. His taste in shoes is like his taste in overcoats. So I could make no mistake. Well, let's get him. Take him to the cops. Later, Mr. Newcomb, your daughter's going to realize that the low down she'll get on Joe. Tonight is a cause for real Thanksgiving. We'll join the crowd of the Blue Note in just a moment. This is Harry Marvel to remind you how important the new Anchor Glass One way no deposit bottle is to your enjoyment of ale and beer. It's a custom made container made just for you. No one has used it before and no one ever will use it again. When you're through with it, you dispose of it as you would any other food container. There's no deposit, no fuss or bother. And the new Anchor Glass One way bottle assures you of sparkling ale and beer without cloudiness and with no foreign Flavor or aroma? Beer that's truly brewery bright. Most of the brewers of New England and those who ship ale and beer into New England have adopted this bottle for your protection and added convenience for the Anchor Glass. One way bottle not only costs the brewer less than any other type of single trip container, but it also gives you much more for your money. So here's a good rule when buying ale and beer, always demand a glass bottle and for extra convenience, demand your favorite brand in the new Anchor Glass One way no deposit bottle. A product of Anchor Hockey, the most famous name in glass. So the shoes fit Joe and he had to wear them, huh kg? They pinched so tight he cracked wide open. Ethelbert. He admitted planting a duplicate of his coat in birds closet. Everything. If his scheme had worked, Lottie would never have spoke to Ferd again and she'd have married Joe. Well, that was Joe's idea, Ethelbert. But it worked out in reverse. Lottie sank into Ferd's manly arms when she heard the lowdown and she seemed very comfortable. See what some guys will do for love. As my sister Edna says, quote, if love didn't make the world go round, there wouldn't be so much dizziness, unquote, or so much niceness. Yeah, a grand guy. Lottie's old man. Hey Annie. What's the matter with us? We got plum pudding and coffee still coming to us. How about it Applebird, huh? Oh, hot spot time. Oh, what's so funny? There isn't anymore.

Well, kind of a ladder fair with a bit of sentiment and maybe some melodrama thrown in. Poor Sergeant Healey and Captain Logan, who's going to be one of the key characters we meet when we get more into the Casey crime photographer era, is one of those guys who takes the holiday off every year, even if it means that that means somebody else has to work it. Dr. Joe Webb over at Blue Note Bulletin noted the use of Tabasco on turkey. I'm not personally much of a fan of Tabasco sauce myself, but I know a lot of people are. So if you've not tried Tabasco sauce on turkey and you're curious about it, maybe just, you know, take a little slice of your turkey and put some Tabasco sauce on it. Let me know how it tastes. Of course, I'd never had plum pudding at Thanksgiving either. I kind of sense that might be more of an east coast thing. Or maybe it was something in the 1940s, as I've never heard it listed as like standard holiday food for either Christmas or Thanksgiving. In a modern sense, of course. You know, in a lot of historical works, plum pudding is referenced, but modern, not so much. Now let's talk about Stats Cotsworth for a moment. Cotsworth took over the role of Casey, of Flash Gun Casey, and would star in all of the Casey programs that were aired all the way until 1955. Cotsworth had a lot of roles in radio. He was known, at least on the east coast, according to one source, as the busiest actor in radio. He made 7,500 appearances over the course of 12 years, which averages out to a little less than two radio appearances per day. We've heard him in a few other series. He was the second actor to play Inspector Thorne, an NBC series we played a few years back, and he also played the district attorney on Roger Kilgore Public Defender, which we played for you last season. He was also one of the actors to play Lieutenant Wigan on Mr. And Mrs. North and a lot of soap opera roles. Like most of the New York radio stars, he also had a very successful career on stage and a talented wanted artists to boot.
