[1:51] It's time now for Johnny Dellar Vic Carson, Johnny State Unity Life. Oh,
[1:59] what's in your mind? You got a job for you if you're interested.
[2:01] I just received a report from our agent in Venice, Venice. Oh,
[2:05] I'd love it so off. Nights along the Canal and California, Johnny,
[2:10] Okay, what is it? Murder Bernard Slade, aged fifty six penny
[2:14] arcade operator in Ocean Park. That's right right next door to Venus. Go
[2:17] on, Well, the body was found in living quarters at the rear of
[2:21] an arcade in the amusement zone. Killer unknown and Barney. Slade must have
[2:25] been quite a movie fan. The police found his apartment plastered with photographs of
[2:30] the movie Greats Silent Screen Vintage. That is at least a dozen of the
[2:34] more of MAVs Gale, a real queen in her day. Yeah, the
[2:37] vamp time. I know. Oh it's just a vague recollection, you understand.
[2:40] Yeah. Well. The police also reported that somebody the killer probably had
[2:45] drawn a big question mark in red crayon over each of Mavis Gale's photographs.
[2:49] Interesting if it means anything we think it does, Johnny, especially since Mavis
[2:53] Gale is named as the beneficiary and Bernard Slade's insurance policy Tonight and every Weekday
[3:06] Night. Bob Bailey in the Transcribed Adventures of the Man with the Action Packed
[3:09] expens a cout America's Fabulous freelance insurance Investigators, Truly Johnny Dollar. Expense account
[3:30] submitted by Special Investigator Johnny Dollar to State Unity Life Home Office, Hartford,
[3:35] Connecticut. Following is an account of expenses incurage during my investigation of the Silent
[3:38] Queen Matter. Expense account out of won two hundred and ten dollars and sixty
[3:46] five cents playing Cave Aran incidentals to Ocean Park, California. As soon as
[3:51] I checked into my hotel, I got in touch with homicide Sergeant McKay.
[3:54] They said would probably be down at the pier. I saved your care far
[3:58] on this one. Vic. It was a beautiful moonlit night at the beach.
[4:01] A warm breeze was blowing in from the Pacific. Hemy signs was only
[4:04] a three minute walk from my hotel to the fund zone. A gaudy array
[4:10] of neon and noise, an occasional whiff of salt air seeping through the aromatic
[4:15] blend of fried shrimp, hamburgers and popcorn. Business was good and the penny
[4:18] arcade had a sheriff. I headed straight to the blonde sitting in the chain
[4:23] boots. She looked tired and faded. Hi, we have a dins worth
[4:27] of pennies. Were you hear real plunge? Your oh money means nothing to
[4:30] me? Well here you are? Don't spend them all in one place?
[4:34] Well, you know, I might at that. This machine here looks qaly
[4:38] interesting. Lola the farmer's daughter, Oh, it's kind of racing. How's
[4:43] your blood pressure? And try uh that row along the wall over there?
[4:47] I wouldn't do howckily carry on a conversation if I was on the other side
[4:50] of the room. Who wants conversation? I do? You don't look like
[4:56] the lonely type. Never can't tell all ken you lock? You run along
[5:00] while I finished stack in these pennies. Huh nah, Seriously, all I
[5:03] want is a few answers. Well I got more than a few. Honey,
[5:06] what's on your mind? Bernie slave? What about Bernie? You work
[5:13] for him a long? Who wants to know? My name is Dollar,
[5:15] Johnny Dollar. I'm an insurance investigator here. Oh, I'd appreciate any information
[5:20] you can give me. Hey, your company dropped a bundle on Barnie.
[5:24] Huh, well that remains to be seen. Oh, Bonnie was a nice
[5:28] guy, nice as they come. What do you want to know, We'll
[5:31] just start anywhere. You want to know about his friends, or maybe after
[5:35] what happened to him, you'd better tell me about his enemies. He didn't
[5:39] have none, not one. Uh. Must have been quite a fellow,
[5:43] he was, mister Okay, let's get back to his friends. Then just
[5:46] about everybody along the pier, and he won in particular. Oh Frank jessp
[5:51] for one, runs a concession just down the way. Go on. Uh,
[5:56] Sam Hegstrom owns a fishing boat. Then there's Gas Kanakos r. Of
[6:00] Ghostein. Like I said, Barney had a lot of prentis, including you,
[6:05] including me. How about Mavis Gail? I don't know the day well
[6:11] she she used to be in the movies The Silent Car. Oh. I
[6:15] heard about her, only I never met her. Didn't she ever come around?
[6:17] I never saw her? Did Barnie ever talk about her? Not to
[6:20] me? Didn't? Why? Why? What? Why should Barney talk about
[6:27] Mavis Gail? Oh? I just thought he might have mentioned it sometime or
[6:30] other. Uh, Is that the door to Barney's apartment back there? Yeah,
[6:35] that's right. Why if I have a look around, that'd be up
[6:39] to Sachian McKay. Well, look, if he comes in, tell him
[6:41] where am Will you tell him yourself? He's back there in Barney's apartment.
[6:45] Now. I walked on back and took note of the heavy padlock dangling open
[6:51] on the door. Leaning in the Barney Slave's apartment, the small living room
[6:58] was empty, yet it was crowded too, crowded with memories of the son
[7:02] of greats a Zimova, Valentino, Pickford and Fairbanks, Me and Swanson,
[7:09] the Gish girls, lawn chaining, all dozens more. They're photographs filling practically
[7:15] every inch of wall space. Mava scale was there, too, a big
[7:17] question mark in red grand drawn over each of the photos. I moved through
[7:21] a narrow kitchen. The back door was wide open. I stepped outside.
[7:28] Who are you, oh, Johnny Dollar, You must be Sergeant McKay.
[7:31] That's right, Yeah, You're office said you'd be here browsing around, So
[7:34] I'm browsing. There's something bothering you, Sergeant Murder always bothers me. Yeah,
[7:41] what you mean? Like those photos in there, maybe scale and the
[7:45] question marks on all of them, and that bothers me. Do you think
[7:48] the killer did it? Could be let's go back inside run or maybe Barney,
[7:58] huh what I'm talking about? The question marks could be pictures belonged to
[8:03] him. Yeah, yeah, he had quite a gallery here. Looks to
[8:09] me though, that summer missing. That's so? Why you know? So?
[8:13] Sergint The wallpaper isn't faded as badly where they used to be, and
[8:18] there are a lot of tack marks too. Okay, So who took him
[8:20] down? Bonnie? He could have soaked the killer, that's right. Have
[8:26] you found anybody who could tell you anything about him? I'm missing photographs?
[8:28] Not yet, Hey, Barty, keep a lot of money in here.
[8:33] Twiler didn't see anything, so Twilt James Blond out front of the change booth.
[8:37] Oh yeah, Barnie was sort of particular about his apartment. Never let
[8:41] anybody in as far as she knows. Not even his friends want to why.
[8:45] According to Twilt, he seldom used the arcade entrance, preferred to use
[8:48] the back door. Is that the one the killer used is standing wide open
[8:52] when the body was found, well, who found it? By the way,
[8:54] Twiler. When she showed up for work yesterday, the arcade was closed
[8:58] up, so she went around back. You know. So when Barney was
[9:00] killed, Doc figures around three am, two slugs from a thirty eight one
[9:05] would have been enough. Any signs of a struggle, Yeah, lamp over
[9:09] there was on the floor, that chair was turned over, and this table
[9:11] had been upset, pipe's medicine, bottles, pillboxes scattered around. Huh.
[9:18] Heavy bolt and chain on the inside of both doors. Barney didn't have to
[9:22] let a visitor in unless he wanted to, that's right. Of course,
[9:26] he could have run into the killer outside somewhere. I'm sure he could,
[9:30] only you don't think so unless Barney was in the habit of walking in his
[9:33] sleep. Uh. When we came in and found Barney was in pajamas and
[9:37] bathroom. The wall bed over there had been pulled out, was mussed up,
[9:39] so it figures he was probably asleep when the killer tapped on his door.
[9:45] He got up and let him in. Yet, according to Twilet,
[9:48] the place was off limits even to his friends. But she wasn't around all
[9:52] the time and didn't know all his friends. He found some others. I'd
[9:54] like to find one of them, in particular, a man Barney referred to
[9:58] as the preacher, just the preacher, no name, no, at least
[10:03] Sam Hextrom couldn't remember. And this preacher was he allowed into Barney's inner sanctum.
[10:09] Sam's pretty sure he saw the two of them come out the back door
[10:11] one night a little more than a week ago. Other times he spotted them
[10:15] taking a late evening stroll along the ocean front walk. M Did Sam ever
[10:20] talk with his preacher? No, but he got curious after a while asked
[10:24] Barney about it. Barney said, the man was a very old and dear
[10:28] friend. Let it go at that, And you haven't been able to find
[10:31] out anything more about him. Uh, I'm still checking. Wow, I
[10:35] would sure be a break if you could to locate this preacher. He might
[10:39] be able to tell us something about those missing photographs. What they were might
[10:43] also explain why the killer took him. Have you seen enough in here?
[10:48] Dollar? Oh? Yeah, sure, I guess that's said. Hey,
[10:52] tell me what does maybe Scale have to say about all this? I only
[10:54] got to talk with her just a couple hours ago, when she returned from
[10:58] Palm Springs. She was pretty upset when I told her about the crayon marks
[11:01] and her photographs. But naturally she couldn't offer any explanation none. How does
[11:07] she react to the news of Slade's death, tears and such. She's supposed
[11:11] to weep about it? Why not? Bonnie Slade must have been a pretty
[11:15] good friend of hers. After all, he named her as the beneficiary and
[11:18] his insurance policy. Oh that's interesting. Why when I talked with Mavis Gale
[11:26] she told me she never heard of Barney's Slade expense account. Adam two and
[11:31] three one dollar and ten cents phone call on Campfare the calls to Navis Gale's
[11:37] home in bel Air. The butler said, if it was important, I
[11:41] could find her at McCartney's mortuary in Venice. Camp Fair to Venice via what
[11:45] is lamping They called the speedway, one way alley lined with backyards and garbage
[11:48] cans. It took us less than a minute to cross over into Venice,
[11:52] a boom that had busted. I've been uncoling mixture of all broken down buildings
[11:56] in the sound of the sea, crumbling bridges, mosque canals, of paved
[12:01] streets, wandering disconsolately into sand dunes, and ending where the money a dream
[12:07] that had kind of died of a broken heart. Good evening, sir,
[12:13] Oh we're not Slade. Please, Yes, mister Slade is in the slumber
[12:18] room at the end of the hall. Is anyone with him? Oh?
[12:22] Indeed quite a number of his friends. Would you know maybus Gale if you
[12:26] saw her the silent green style? Indeed, I would, at least I
[12:31] think I would. She was one of my favorites. She hasn't shown yet.
[12:37] No, I you mean she's expected, so I understand where. Well
[12:46] that's nice. Oh, that is nice. I didn't know she was a
[12:50] friend of mister Slade's. Oh you know most of Barney's friends. I know
[12:56] most of the people along the pier, and they were all his friends.
[13:00] Well, how about one called the preacher? The preacher naturally, I'm very
[13:05] well acquainted with many men of the cloth. And if you could tell me
[13:09] his knee, I don't know. Look, you have a visitor's register here,
[13:13] don't you in each of the slumber rooms. Yes, just inside the
[13:18] door. Thanks. Where did you say mister Snide was down the hall?
[13:22] Last room on the leaves. The room was crowded with friends who'd come to
[13:37] pay their respects to be not slave. I eased over to the visitors register
[13:41] and gave it a fast rundown. There was nothing to indicate that a minister
[13:45] was among the mourners present. Then I heard the hall door creak open.
[13:50] There she was maybe a scale, certainly not at all what I expected a
[13:54] vamp of the silent screen to look like thirty years later, Slender, trim
[13:58] and am he tailored suit and even more attractive than the photographs had seen of
[14:03] her in Barney's apartment. She moved down the center aisle to the casket and
[14:07] stood there for a moment. As I walked toward her, she suddenly turned
[14:11] her eyes wide and staring, her lips moving sanity. Then she crumbled to
[14:16] the floor. I understand you've been trying to reach me. Dollar. That's
[14:26] right, sergeant, Okay, what's up? I got some news for you,
[14:30] Sergeant. Mavis Gale was once married to a small time movie actor named
[14:33] Tom Sandford. Seems he was murdered during a honey trip in the Sierra some
[14:37] twenty seven years ago. So Mayvis Gale just identified Barney Slade as Tom Sandford.
[14:43] What same man, Sergeant. She's still at the mortuary. Yeah,
[14:46] the manager's office I'll be over him five minutes, ride him four ten cents
[14:56] a cup of black coffee from Mayvis Gail, queen of the Silent Flickers.
[15:01] While she drank it, I elbowed my way past. Barney. Slade's friends
[15:03] gathered in the hall just outside the mortuary office and walked out through the street
[15:09] to do a little quiet thinking I didn't have time. Excuse me, mister
[15:13] dollar. Oh is it a fact about Mavis Gail? I mean she was
[15:20] Barney's wife. Why don't you pick that up? Well, mort thought he
[15:22] heard her say so mart a manager of the funeral partner, you were in
[15:26] his office, helped carry miss Gaile. There is it a fact, mister
[15:31] dollar? How do you know my name? I was gabbing with Twyler earlier
[15:35] tonight. She's the girl at the change desk in the penny arcade. Then
[15:39] I seen you in Sargeant McKay come out of Barney's apartment. Who are you,
[15:43] Frank Jessip? I run the mermaid bit over on the pierod you know,
[15:48] three baseballs for a quarter and you tried to dun to Don in the
[15:50] water tank. Yeah, I figure mort heard right that Mavis Gail used to
[15:56] be Barney's wife. Violence What the lady said, how do you like that
[16:03] old Barney married all this time? And that Mavis gay old time movie star,
[16:08] never breath the word of it to any of us. Sure can't get
[16:12] over it, and him being a picture player in the old days too.
[16:17] Do you recall ever seeing her around the arcade, mister jessep Nope. I
[16:21] think I would have recognized it tonight when she came in the mortuary, A
[16:25] real handsome woman. Can you think of anyone Barney might have told about his
[16:29] past? I don't think any of his friends knew mister Dollar, including Twilat
[16:33] James w Yes. That has she been with him long? Close to five
[16:37] years? What are you driving at, mister dollar? Barney was still a
[16:41] pretty good looking guy. She liked him a lot. Advice versa. Barney
[16:47] never talked it over with me. What did he talk about? O?
[16:49] Fishing mostly and pe nuckle. He was crazy about pe knuckle. Best I
[16:56] ever played with you playoff average couple times a week and Barney's apartment. Barney
[17:00] was kind of funny about that. None of us ever set foot in his
[17:03] place. Most of the time we played over at my bungle over on Sam's
[17:08] boat. I see say you being an insurance investigator, and all I was
[17:14] wondering was Mavis Gale. Excuse me, mister jessup, there's Sergeant McKay.
[17:19] You said five minutes, sergeant, you made it to three. She's still
[17:23] in their dollar. Yeah. Nice turn out of Barnie's friends. Only they're
[17:26] all out in the hole. Well, things got sort of frantic when Mavis
[17:30] took her nose down. I wanted to find out why did they? Mart
[17:34] knows it around seeing the office with her, had a chauffeur. His name
[17:37] is Ronald. I'll send them both out. I want to talk to Mavis
[17:41] Gale alone. I don't think you get much out of her. She really
[17:44] fell apart at the scenes. As it turned out, I was right at
[17:49] least about McKay not getting much out of Mavis Gale. She came out of
[17:52] the office a minute or soul later, with McKay and the chauffeur on either
[17:56] side, and I went along with the mourners into the street. They helped
[18:00] her inside the big blue Cadillac and she slumped down as far as she could
[18:03] get in the back seat, covered her face with a handkerchief. Then she
[18:06] was gone, okay, you people, break it up. You came here
[18:10] to see Barnie. Remember, sergeant, what is a dollar? But you
[18:15] happen to remember maybe Scale from the old days when she was a star?
[18:18] I mean, yeah, yeah, I guess. So why was she a
[18:21] pretty good actress? I'd say she was? Do you think she's still is?
[18:26] If you referring to that fainting spell? Dollar, you tell me you
[18:30] saw it and look pretty genuine. So I just wondered, as all,
[18:34] just wondering. Expenser cont Items five and six, four dollars sixty cents.
[18:45] One morning newspaper in camfair to made a Scale's bell Air home. Now that
[18:49] Bonnie Slade had been identified as Tom Sanford, husband of the old time movie
[18:55] Queen, The affair was splatted all over the front pages. There was also
[18:59] a complete account of twenty seven year old murder case in which the same Tom
[19:02] Sandford had presumably been killed with a shotgun blast during a hunting trip. The
[19:07] big white gates of the ex movie Queen's of State were locked when I got
[19:10] there, but there was a phone close by. I picked it up,
[19:14] leaned on the buzzer, no answer. Nothing. When I saw the car
[19:18] coming down the drive. I recognized Sergeant McKay at the wheel one dollars.
[19:25] Hi, you have a special pass to this place. If you're figuring on
[19:29] having to talk with Mavis Gay, you better put it off Doctor's orders.
[19:32] Still suffering from shock, Tom, Yeah, and I figure she's leveling.
[19:36] Hmmm. According to the newspaper, she and Tom had a pretty stormy time
[19:40] of it during their brief marriage. She was a star and he wasn't.
[19:44] Maybe that had something to do with it. She was also pretty popular in
[19:47] the film Colony. Oh. Tom had a few buddies too, at least
[19:51] four the men who went on that hunting trip with him. The case was
[19:53] investigated pretty thoroughly. They came out of it clean. You know, it'd
[19:57] be interesting to find out who wanted Tom sand dead, though, wouldn't it.
[20:00] The fellow hunter got his face blown off by a shotgun blast one at
[20:03] Sandford dead, only apparently Sandford beat him to the draw, right. Do
[20:07] you think somebody might have hired that would be killer who instead became the victim?
[20:11] What are you getting at? So the person who did the hiring thought
[20:15] the mission accomplished, but then recently learned that Tom Sandford was still alive.
[20:18] Posing as Barney Slade. You really have an imagination, So this time he
[20:25] does the job himself or herself. It's possible. Look, I know,
[20:27] Mayvis Gail Stance to collect twenty five thousand insurance unless, oh sure, unless
[20:32] you can hang it on her two attempts on Hobbie Tom Sandford. I'm not
[20:36] trying to hang this on anybody, Sergeant. The insurance company hired me to
[20:38] turn in a report and they'll pay off according to that report. I just
[20:41] want to be sure that's okay. Relax if you're going back to the beach,
[20:47] get in. Oh thanks. Why do you think he did it?
[20:56] Sergeant? Why do I think who did what? Sandford? Twenty seven years
[21:03] ago on a hunting trip. Why do you suppose he planted his identification and
[21:07] clothing on the man who tried to kill him and vanished. Who knows?
[21:11] Maybe he was in a gem like the idea of letting the world believe he
[21:15] was dead. And how about those question marks on Mavis Gail's photographs, Attie
[21:19] in there, Maybe we've been through that. Barney could have made those marks
[21:23] himself. Well, and here's the thought, Barney or Sandford, whichever you
[21:27] want to call him, might have wondered, could his wife have hired the
[21:32] killer? And is that why he drew those question marks? I thought you
[21:37] decided the killer drew them all right? Assume the killer drew them? Why
[21:41] you tell me? While I would certainly attract attention to Mavis Gail, wouldn't
[21:45] it an the eliminator is a possible suspect as far as Barney Slade's death is
[21:48] concerned. Yes, you're really determined to go after this woman, aren't you?
[21:52] Look McKee? I told you all? Kay, okay? Assuming the
[21:56] killer drew those question marks to direct attention to Mavis Gale, why would he
[22:00] want to do that? I can make a guess, can't you. Yeah?
[22:07] It could be blackmail? But why wait all these years for the simple
[22:11] reason he just picked up a little information recently. Maybe he got it from
[22:15] one of the men who were on that hunting trip. I think they're still
[22:18] around. Expense account at him seven ten dollars and fifty cents cave Fair and
[22:26] tips. It took me that long to find Milo Martin, actor's agent,
[22:30] one of the men who had been on that hunting trip twenty seven years ago.
[22:33] He operated out of a plush suite of offices on the Sunset Strip.
[22:37] He wasn't in, but his secretary of friendly and eca little doll named Lena,
[22:41] gave me a list of places where I might find him. I finally
[22:44] did out in a ranch near Chatsworth where a movie company was filming an epic
[22:52] yep oh Western, what else? Milon Martin was shortened around. He wore
[22:57] cowboy bootstunguery, he's no shirt. He was sitting in a wide flat rock
[23:02] setting himself. Oh yes, mister Dollar. I read about it in the
[23:06] morning paper. It came as a tremendous shot. Tom alive all these years,
[23:11] It's incredible. So well, according to the newspaper accounts, you were
[23:14] the one who first discovered the body that day twenty seven years ago. A
[23:17] horrible experience, terrifying and never forget it. We had been searching the hills
[23:21] all night, and then in the cold gray of dawn, there he was
[23:23] in the ravine Tom. Only it was in Tom. But the police are
[23:27] certain, I mean to say, the scale positively identified the man known as
[23:32] Barney Slade to be Tom Sander running a penny arcade in Ocean Park. It's
[23:36] incredible. Well, then, who was the man I found? In that
[23:37] ravine. We don't know, we may never know. And he wanted to
[23:41] kill Tom. But why you have no idea why anyone would have wanted to
[23:45] do away with me? Of course not. Oh I knew Tom was a
[23:48] wild sort. He never got along with most people. But well to resort
[23:52] to murder. You were his agent, weren't you, mister Markin. Yes,
[23:53] yes I was, I must confess. I only took him on as
[23:56] a client of police mapers. Oh you also represented his scale, I did.
[24:00] She was, she still is a truly wonderful person. With the Dollar,
[24:04] I understand the two of them weren't getting along too. Oh, that
[24:07] would be putting it mildly, mister Dollar. Was one frightful rah after another,
[24:11] wild hysterical sort of raw. What did they quarrel above it? Well?
[24:15] Tom was quite a gamble, and he also drank rather heavily. And
[24:18] he also fancied himself as quite a lady's man, and this made her sore.
[24:22] And he was also extremely jealous. Oh, Mayvius ever give him good
[24:26] cause to be No, of course not. Oh, he was always imagining
[24:30] all sorts of fantastic things about her. Actually, she was very much in
[24:33] love with him. That was my impression. At least tell me, mister
[24:37] Martin. Those other men who were on the Honey Trever are they still around?
[24:41] Well? Let me see. No, there's Trev for one. Trev.
[24:45] That's Francis Trevellian used to be Miss Gale's cameraman, independent producer. Now
[24:48] his pictures aren't very good, but they make money. How about this Jervis
[24:52] pocket Jarv Let me think no, oh, excuse me? Are you ready?
[24:57] Doll? I'll okay, that's all the director, he's a friend.
[25:02] Look about you like stage coaches, mister Dollar'm I gonna take him. I'm
[25:04] leading. Look what long they're finished up here? We'll ride the coach back
[25:08] to the ranch house. It's only a few miles, maybe five. And
[25:11] this is control. You love it all right? Not here? Get the
[25:15] boy, mister dollar. Brother, it's not true, Rummy is it?
[25:21] Okay? Doll? Got a doll? How do you like it? Mister
[25:26] Dollar? I know how John Wayne feels. Let me see now you you
[25:32] were at about nervious market and faster doll expense account? Ida mat anyone?
[25:56] Since one bottle of rubbing alcohol there was late that afternoon when I got back
[26:00] to my hotel. But before I could use the alcohol and my aching bones
[26:03] to pune rang Johnny Dollar. McKay, here this time I got news for
[26:11] you. Dollar. You ought to be real pleash. When did I sit
[26:12] down? I'm second thought, Maybe I won't. Okay, sorry, let's
[26:18] have it. Maybe is Gail said she didn't know her husband was alive all
[26:21] these years, that he was using the name Barney Slade running that arcade,
[26:25] Notion Park. So maybe she didn't tell us the truth. What do you
[26:29] mean? We got a witness, Dollar, someone who saw Maybis Gale hanging
[26:32] around the Penny Arcade two nights before the murder. Now here's our star to
[26:51] tell you about tomorrow's episode of this week's story. Tomorrow a bowl of little
[26:55] soup and I almost wind up in a cemetery. Join us, won't your
[26:59] true? Johnny Dollar? Yours Truly Johnny Dollars starrying Bob Bailey is transcribed in
[27:11] Hollywood, written by Adrian John Doeau. It is produced and directed by Jack
[27:17] Johnstone. Be sure to join us tomorrow night, same time and station for
[27:21] the next exciting episode of Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar. Roy Rowan speaking welcome
[28:26] back. Well once again we hear the Golden Age's radio's nostalgia for the era
[28:37] of silent films, but working into a pretty interesting plant. There's a lot
[28:41] that can be done here, and of course we have three more parts to
[28:45] explore it in, so I look forward to that. Now. I do
[28:48] have a little bit of a note for those of you who are who have
[28:52] signed up for a page on Facebook. Now some of you may have just
[28:59] hit the lock button on Facebook, but for many it's a great opportunity to
[29:07] be able to see our shows, to be able to if you have an
[29:11] episode that you hear that you really enjoy, to be able to share it
[29:18] with your friends by clicking the share button. Facebook has made some changes to
[29:23] the way its pages work, and if you merely like a page, that
[29:29] does not mean you will get updates on it. And so if you would
[29:34] like to receive updates on what we're doing, I would encourage you to go
[29:40] into to go to Facebook dot com slash Radio Detectives and where you see the
[29:47] checkbox marked like choose get notifications, and that way you can actually see what
[29:55] we're writing. And this is somewhat frustrating change for a lot of those of
[30:00] us who have Facebook pages and I kind of understand a lot of what went
[30:06] into some of the changes behind it, but a bunch of the if you
[30:11] don't click the like botton without going to visit the page. Now, the
[30:17] only way that people who own Facebook pages that you'd like to follow can actually
[30:22] communicate with you is by paying for ads, which kind of seems a bit
[30:26] backwards, But just click that you get notifications link if you would like to
[30:32] receive that. Now onto a listener comment on Johnny Dollar. This is actually
[30:37] a review of the Johnny Dollar feed and they say I've really enjoyed this,
[30:45] and I think we've definitely gotten that message that folks have enjoyed these serials.
[30:48] We had a few bumps at the beginning, but this has been some of
[30:52] the best fifty eight weeks of radio that we have ever experience, and it's
[31:00] just been so fun to bring it to you. And then I have a
[31:04] comment from Michael who says, Adam, as always, I love your show.
[31:10] I'm blown away at how good the latest Johnny to All Oar episodes have
[31:12] been. I really like Bob Bailey in this It's very good. It seems
[31:15] to fit him better than let George do it. Anyway. I also wanted
[31:18] to tell you I'm a big fan of Rocky Jordan. It falls in the
[31:22] realm of detective stories about people who aren't detectives. It always has some great
[31:26] foreign intrigue. I spent a year in Istanbul when I was younger, and
[31:30] it sometimes, in small ways, reminds me of those times. I hope
[31:33] you consider having it in your lineup. I've enjoyed listening to it at the
[31:37] times i've heard it. It has my vote. Again, thanks for what
[31:41] you do. It's the best program of its kind online. Well, thanks
[31:44] so much, Michael, and definitely have Rocky Jordan on our list. And
[31:48] that seems to be a one that people have been asking for recently, and
[31:53] it seemed like we go through phases with this. I remember when we first
[31:57] started the show had a lot of peace people requesting a Casey crime photographer and
[32:02] that kind of subsided Richard Diamond has been pretty consistent, and as I mentioned,
[32:07] we're going to get to that one in just a couple of years now.
[32:10] All right, Well, coming up tomorrow we begin our second run through
[32:16] of Pat Novak for Hire, and next Monday, be sure and listen for
[32:22] Manhunt, and in two weeks pursuit should say in three weeks pursuit. In
[32:29] the meantime, send your comments to Box thirteen at Great Detectives dot net and
[32:32] follow us on Twitter or Radio Detectives But from Boise, Otaho, this is
[32:37] your host, Adam graham Son and Off
