[1:14] Today we're going to get into one of the most lauded Golden Age radio programs,
[1:23] the CBS version of the Adventures of Philip Marlow. The series starred Gerald
[1:29] Moore. Moore was best known at this point in his career for his character
[1:34] work over radio. He played all sorts of roles with just great power and
[1:42] just a fantastic voice for radio. But he's but he'd also had some film
[1:49] work. He had been the star of the first three post war Lone Wolf
[1:57] movies about Michael Lanyard in nineteen forty six and forty seven, and even start
[2:06] in the Lone Wolf radio program. Of course, Philip Marlowe and Michael Lanyard
[2:12] were two different characters. In addition, he would also end up narrating the
[2:17] Lone Ranger when it came to television The Adventures of Philip marlow This would be
[2:25] to me the series. When I most think of Gerald Moore, what comes
[2:30] to me because his unique voice creates a memorable and powerful marlow This is the
[2:36] very first episode of his run, and not all of the series' best known
[2:43] aspects, such as his get this and Get It Straight introduction, are present,
[2:49] but you get a feel for the way the series is going to go.
[2:53] So we begin with CBS's presentation of the Adventures of Philip marlow and the
[3:00] episode Red Wind from September twenty sixth of nineteen forty eight. It was hot,
[3:07] boiling hot that night. I wanted to grab a beer and turn in
[3:09] early. So what happens? I get my beer, but when it comes
[3:13] a gunshot, A beautiful woman in trouble and murder from the pen of Raymond
[3:21] Chandler, outstanding author of crime mystery. CBS presents his most famous character,
[3:25] brought to you now in the Adventures of Philip Barlow, with Gerald Moore starred
[3:38] as Philip Barlow. We bring you tonight's unusual story, Red Wind. There
[3:53] was a rough desert wind blowing into Los Angeles that evening. It was one
[3:55] of those hot, dry Santa Annas that come downs with the mop passes and
[4:00] curl your hair and make your nerves jump on your skin. Itch are nights
[4:04] like that. Every booze party ends in a fight, and meek little housewives
[4:08] feel the edge of a carving knife and study their husband's next Anything can happen
[4:14] when the Santa Anna blows in from the desert. I closed up my office
[4:20] early. I got tired of reading Philip Marlow Private Investigative backwards on the ground
[4:26] glass of my office door. So I locked up and decided a nice cold
[4:30] beer would taste good before I went up to my apartment. Hill up again,
[4:33] mister Marlon Mallow Marl. Yeah, Malin's a fish. Yeah I know.
[4:39] Malin's also the name of a lady on the radio malon Comma Marry the
[4:42] story of Yeah, my Wifeless is to it. Oh good for her all
[4:46] right here. You're farer that drunk again? What do you expect this business?
[4:50] Autograph hounds, my sap it here, be right with your sport.
[4:56] Gotta draw this man a beer ran out loud, these stumble blumbs. Hey
[5:00] you got another customer backers, Hey, pud you sing the lady in here
[5:03] lately, lady that tall, good looking brown hair print Valero jacket on a
[5:09] blue sub dress. No, sir, no sah. Nobody liked that spinning
[5:14] all right, straight scotch fast, yes, sir, Yes, is the
[5:19] man drunk? I noticed the drunk was grinning at him, and then,
[5:23] without changing his grin, the drunk swept the gun from somewhere so fast it
[5:27] was just a blur coming out, made a couple of hard snaps, A
[5:30] little smoke. Very you other guys don't move so long, waldough, don't
[5:41] move you too. I bet I made his nose so long. Boys,
[5:49] drink up, Get on the phone card, I'll get his license number.
[5:53] Oh smoke. He throve away into that guy's car, and maybe he ain't
[5:57] dead. He's dead all right. Oh that guy was using a twenty two
[6:00] target prist. When they use that kind of gun, they don't make mistakes
[6:01] where's your phone? This is for the police. Prow Cord boys were there
[6:11] in five minutes. All I was out of business, all right. Nothing
[6:15] in his pockets told who he was, but he had about seven hundred dollars
[6:17] on him. With that kind of heavy coin, you can buy a good
[6:20] nineteen ten automobile even today. Now, I told the cops what I knew,
[6:25] including about Warlow's brown head pretty girl in the bolero jacket. It was
[6:30] about nine o'clock when I stepped out of the elevator in my apartment house and
[6:33] almost walked right into a brown head pretty girl in the billero jacket waiting for
[6:39] the elevator on my floor. Excuse me just a minute, lady. What
[6:44] is I'm a great admirer of balero jackets. I'll take the one you've got
[6:46] on for instance. I'm sorry, but I'm no, no, no,
[6:48] wait, if you'll be good enough to let me buy. Oh you've made
[6:51] me miss the elevator. It's just as well. What it's better you don't
[6:57] go out in those clothes. What do you mean it's all good looking balero
[7:01] jacket, blue silk dress. Lady? Might I take the trouble of telling
[7:06] you that you're in trouble, trouble, and the cops are looking for you
[7:11] in those clothes. I haven't done anything, maybe not, But if I
[7:15] were you, i'd have a little talk with me. I'm forty one across
[7:17] the hall. I know things about you. Well, good girl, come
[7:25] along. It took a firm grip on her arm, but I managed to
[7:31] get her to my room. I rustled up some drinks, but when I
[7:34] turned to give her hers I saw she held a small automatic. She looked
[7:41] at me steadily. I put down both classes slowly so I wouldn't be misunderstood.
[7:47] Look, sister, I know it's hot tonight and he does funny things
[7:51] to people. But let's put that little thing away and have a nice cool
[7:55] drink. Huh, don't move. Oh, I'm strictly frozen in my tracks.
[7:59] Stay that, okay, okay. Wouldn't you like to know that I'm
[8:03] a private detective? Private detection. I can prove it if you'll let me.
[8:07] That's better. I don't like those things pointed at me. I'll have
[8:13] that drink. Oh good. I don't often give good liquor away like this.
[8:16] I can't afford it. Why are they act? The man was just
[8:22] shot in a bar down the street before he got it even asking you about
[8:26] a tall, pretty girl with a balerro jacket. What did he look like?
[8:31] This man? He was tall, about five eleven, slim, dark,
[8:35] dark brown eyes, with a lot of glitter, dark suit, white
[8:37] handkerchief in the breast pocket. And he must have seen you early at night
[8:41] to know how you addressed? Am I getting anywhere? He used to be
[8:46] my my chauffeur. He had an appointment with him, didn't you? He
[8:50] asked for you, didn't he? Yes, I had an appointment with him.
[8:56] He'd stolen something from me when he left three days ago. I was
[9:00] going to buy it back from him. Why didn't you tell the police?
[9:03] I couldn't tell it was valuable? Wasn't it valuable enough for Warlow to steel?
[9:07] Fifteen thousand dollars? He nuts? But it wasn't for Dad. You
[9:13] see, it meant something. Man I loved David Trummit. Now he's dead.
[9:22] To shut down overturney, I go back and tell my husband that he'll
[9:28] he probably hired you, he did. How much is he paying me?
[9:31] And where is this husband of yours? You got a meeting this late at
[9:35] night? A very important man, the hydro electric engineer. Never mind about
[9:41] him? What about Warlow? Why was he knocked off? He's dead?
[9:46] Waldo is dead, Yes, sister, he's dead, very dead. Screaming
[9:48] won't bring him back. I'm not going to scream. There was a dressman
[9:54] behind the door, hired there. Take a glass with you all. I
[10:03] went to the door, making a loud, yawning sound. Foolishly, I
[10:07] didn't have my gun. That was a mistake because when I opened the door
[10:11] of the guy on the other side certainly had one twenty two target automatic that
[10:16] had already killed one man that night, and I knew the bald hid,
[10:20] the flat, shiny eyes and the face like a poisonous lizard ball. He
[10:24] put the muzzle of his gun lightly against my throat. Back into the room,
[10:28] and baldy k door shut. You alone, Look for yourself. I'm
[10:35] asking, not looking. I'm alone. You and that dumb buttend to saw
[10:39] me? Dust off Waldo? What did wald do to you? Who's asking?
[10:43] Just making conversations? He still done me on a bank job we did
[10:48] together, got me four years in Michigan. Pen How is he dead?
[10:56] So I'm still good? Jump offs over? Tell me why I came here,
[11:01] Pal, I heard the bar keeping me talking. I told him my
[11:05] name and where I lived. That's how Pal, I said, why skip
[11:09] it? Hangman won't ask you. I guess why he's there. You're pretty
[11:13] tough at that, answered Pal. But you're slamming off all right, But
[11:20] could you get that gun out of my neck and try somewhere else? Just
[11:24] any place? This better? This suits you, all right? It's just
[11:28] so, it isn't my neck, say, went Pal, it's your party.
[11:35] I leaned against the gun, weakly sought. The dressing room showed a
[11:39] crack of darkness. The crack widened. I began to shake a little in
[11:43] spite of the heat. The girl came quietly into the room, but there
[11:46] was white over on her irises. She was scared. She had a gun
[11:50] in her hand, but I was sorry for her dead. Sorry. She
[11:54] tried to make the door a scream. By the way, it would be
[11:56] curtains for both of us. Scared, mister worried about it, little thing
[12:01] that couldn't talk. The girl floated me, yes on my by Palie.
[12:07] The horrified face was drifting totous. My mouth was as cold and dry as
[12:11] yesterday's toast. Well, kid, how does it feel you ready yet?
[12:18] Say the word? Well, don't take all night about it. If you're
[12:20] gonna do something about it, do it? Why not? Pal I like
[12:24] this? Suppose I yell going ahead? Yeah, thanks, sister, Advise
[12:35] me. Everything I have is yours now and forever. Flatter me. No
[12:43] end, lady, I only punched him. I get out of here while
[12:45] I call the cops down on this killer. Good night. Wait a minute,
[12:48] Wait a minute. That jacket mansha for the cops. Leave it here.
[12:52] You don't need it in this kind of weather. Okay, see you
[12:56] again. I don't know who might have been the rival of a dead flyer
[13:01] and things like that. Yeah, second though, I forget the whole thing.
[13:07] I'll see if the police get Jesse James here. Good night ly Ah
[13:33] yeah you mean me? Yes? Please? Oh you again? Set in.
[13:39] I want to talk to that. You want to know what happened at
[13:43] headquarters. Yes, I went down to headquarters with the law and gave him
[13:46] the story. I left you out of it. You saved my life,
[13:50] so no one knows anything about you. Incidentally, neither away. My name
[13:56] is missus Frank Bartley two twelve three month place. Well lent you a two
[14:03] four five ninety six. That's what you want, I guess, soir.
[14:09] Oh there it is. Now, where'd you really come back? I wanted
[14:15] my crews. Oh no, pearls too, Yes, all right, tell
[14:18] me about the pearls. We've had a murder, a beautiful mystery woman,
[14:22] and a sadistic killer, and an heroic rescue. Now we will have pearls.
[14:28] I was surviving back from the man called Holder, and I saw everything
[14:31] that came out of his pockets. They weren't any pearls. Could they be
[14:35] hidden in his apocket? That's possible. Waldo lived on the same floor as
[14:39] you do in this apartment half And why didn't I know him at least by
[14:43] sight? Well, they just moved in last week. He managed to get
[14:48] a sublet sort of amateur magician on the side. Huh, it's true,
[14:54] getting ova. Yeah, what about your husband? This hot, mysterious night,
[15:00] it's still it is meet good Glay. Did you say it? I
[15:11] didn't have any answers. We just sat there looking at one another. I
[15:18] was suddenly aware of the hot desert winds, staring at the night. I
[15:22] took hold of her and I kissed her. She said, very still.
[15:28] I was shaking. When I let go of her. Her voice trembled a
[15:31] little when she spoke. I meant to do that. Oh, I wasn't
[15:39] always this one. Only since Johnny Darns was killed in the war. He
[15:46] gave me those curls, forty one of them, the diamond Colpellac passed.
[15:54] I'd have loved them if they were wooden beads, because he gave him tum
[16:00] not shot. Or you'd love just one time. You understand that, yes
[16:07] I can. But I don't understand is how you could explain a fifteen thousand
[16:11] dollars pearl necklace to your husband? Throw them a limitation that I got them
[16:15] nice style? How did Waldo last hint of them? And what they stood
[16:18] for? And my husband was in Argentina, Waldo and I would go for
[16:23] long drives. It was restless and wretched because of john Sometimes Waldo and I
[16:30] had a little drink again, but that was all. But you can fight
[16:33] in Wallow about those pearls. And when your husband came back, Wallow stole
[16:37] the pearls and ib to sell them back to your Tell Papa, now you
[16:40] think the pearls are upstairs and Warlow's apartment. I suppose it's a lot.
[16:45] I've been paid. I'll go look quit here was I gone? Long?
[17:03] Waller? Well, no, no pearls, no pearls. There was a
[17:10] man in Waller's room. Man there a guy named Leon Velisanos, Mexican,
[17:17] South American, about forty five, small, iron gray hair, very neat,
[17:21] corn colored soup wine colored. Sie. No, I don't think I
[17:23] know the me. You say he was in the room. Yeah, what
[17:27] did he say? Very little? In fact nothing. He was dead.

[19:03] I sat with Lola busily in a car, listening to the hot wind
[19:06] gallop around in the midnight streets. I just told her about the Latin looking
[19:10] man I'd found in Waldow's room in a very dead condition. I held her
[19:15] hands until they stopped trembling, and then I gave it a few remaining details.
[19:21] Get a gun in a shoulder hosted, but someone had strangled him before
[19:22] he could set up in business with a gun. Someone you see that convertible
[19:29] coops who cars ahead of us for hours there before I talked here to wait
[19:33] for you. Leon, the guy in Wallow's room. Came in a car
[19:37] according to the key container he carried it isn't his car? Is his car?
[19:41] Does it mean? Yeah? It belonged to a lady according to the
[19:44] tag, and a car to Eugenie Kochenko, West Los Angeles. You better
[19:49] go home now? How do you do? Drive that plassy convertible around and
[19:55] wave with my friend? Impress people we run along now me, I've got
[20:00] another date. Yes, what is it? Pieces Eugenie Colchenko? Yes,
[20:23] what is it? Did you lose or misplaced? A pigeon gray convertible coupet?
[20:27] What do you say? I found it, brought it home to you?
[20:32] Come in please, it is a reward you wish? Shall we see
[20:38] part of a dragon? Lady? Who was he? Who was who?
[20:41] A little guy? Leon? Your lungs? Your car? So he's dead?
[20:44] Who was he? No? No, darling, darling, come here
[20:48] please? Who is this man? I came about miss Kolchenko's car? What
[20:55] about a car? A gentleman who barred it, couldn't return it on account
[20:59] of isn't a lie, darling? He is d that was putting it more
[21:02] bluntly, of course, yeah, eh, yeah, completely? Who are
[21:04] you? Philip Marlow private investigator my card? Have you told the police yet?
[21:12] Never do it once? What can be profitably deferred pending negotiations? I
[21:18] might negotiate peachy. Just what do you know, Marlon Hell, A man
[21:23] name of Worlow is shot in a bar tonight. I happen to have the
[21:26] inside as to who he was, and when I visited his apartment tonight I
[21:30] found this Leon Velisanos did he wouldn't have had five hundred dollars and twenties on
[21:34] nimody. No, because Warlow had over seven hundred dollarsana when he was killed
[21:40] in that cocktail bar, mostly in twenties. Is there a basis of negotiation
[21:45] yet? Very well, Malo. There were certain bills for some stuff in
[21:49] Spotenko here head cards to my account. But Jo told me I might charge
[21:55] to you r a car, all right, my dear. So I wasn't
[21:56] bright. That might be the understatement of a decade. But go on,
[22:00] I had the bills safely in my briefcase. Somehow, there's Waldo had a
[22:04] chance to steal a briefcase I hiredly On gave him five hundred dollars to buy
[22:08] back those bills from Waldo Instead, Waldow took Leon's coupons, was forced to
[22:12] kill Leon in the process. And he went out to keep another date and
[22:15] walked into an old pal hostile enough to blow him down. And somebody still
[22:19] has those bills. And I'm in front of Ward. Huh. The man
[22:23] who shot Waldow got away in Waldow's car with your briefcase. And it could
[22:27] be cops caught him and the police have the briefcase. Maybe, but the
[22:33] police are interested in solving crimes, not in tossing much to the benefit of
[22:36] sensation. It is. I have a friend or two a headquarters. Let
[22:38] us see what I can do. It's worth five hundred dollars to me my
[22:42] alone, and that's what it'll cost you. Good luck and thank you,
[22:48] mister Marlow. Philip Marlow. Remember my name is Frank Barsley Westling. Oh
[22:57] And just what does that mean the big hydro electric engineer? Yeah, yes,
[23:03] how do you know? Never mind? May I use your telephone someday?
[23:18] I must tell you, abuddy, Borah, that is a solid earthy
[23:21] Borough detective lieutenant over its central homicide Well. I phoned the borrowed from Calchenko's
[23:26] house and told him where he could find a well dressed cadever named Leon and
[23:30] furnished a few smaller details. I gave you Borrow a time to check my
[23:33] tip, and then I went down to see the good Lieutenant and told him
[23:37] why I'd been up in Warlow's room only to find Leon instead of a certain
[23:41] lady's spring of pearls. Pearls, Eh, yeah, I thought Waldow might
[23:45] have had them up there. Whose pearls were they? The ladies go on,
[23:49] Oh, they might have been in Warlow's car that Warlow's killer drove away
[23:52] in. Yeah what yeah, they might have Yeah. Also batch of bills
[24:00] charged to the account of a certain Frank Vossily. Yeah. Police aren't interested
[24:04] in domestic scandal. They want to prevent us solve crimes. Right, So
[24:08] I've got five hundred dollars for the police fund if those pearls and those bills
[24:12] are returned to their rightful owner. Quit your kidding. It's a valuable necklace.
[24:17] Yeah, there's your necklace. Take it away on the levely bar.
[24:23] Just tell me straight what it's all about. Oh sure, sure, but
[24:27] you see this Wallow is blackmailing a wife with the pearls and her husband with
[24:30] the bills. Bossily, that's the guy's name sent Leon to get the bills
[24:34] from wadow Wallow, kill him, and then stepped out and got nailed by
[24:37] that guy in the bar. It's tool pigeoned against. Once I left,
[24:41] Bossily's name stays out of the papers. I get five hundred bucks. It
[24:44] goes to the police fund. Thanks, we'll keep them out. I'm not
[24:48] in this case for money. I just want to get back the bills and
[24:49] the pearls ure And like you say, Marlow, the police aren't in business
[24:55] to sling mud. Look you can deliver the pearls to the lady yourself if
[24:59] you like. No, you better take them to a Marlow. You see,
[25:03] except for that diamond propeller clasp on them. Their phony phony. But
[25:07] look, Marlow, I know pearls. Real pearls feel gritty between the teeth.
[25:15] These are hard and glassy. Cry yeah yeah, their phony all but
[25:22] the class, Marlow, all but the clasp. I took the pearls and
[25:30] had them appraise the next morning at a gilt edge place in Beverly Hills.
[25:36] Phony all over, the clasp and imitation as good as these couldn't have been
[25:41] made that fast. These were the pearls at Wallow had stolen. I took
[25:45] the glass pearls to a dive on No Rose and had them duplicated for twenty
[25:48] eight dollars. I had the jeweler touched the diamond class for the twenty dollars
[25:52] duplicate spring of pearls, and I called up Lola. Hello, Hello,
[25:56] Okay, you're in. Yes, have a string of pearls for you.
[26:03] Wait a minute, Wait a minute, Lola Walla was getting set to jypy.
[26:07] We sold the real pearls and made up a string with the diamond clasp.
[26:11] Oh, okay, sure, meet me at four at Nicolaiath's. Hey,
[26:38] yah, Lola, these are the pearls the police found in Warlow's car.
[26:42] You're right, they're not mont. I'm sorry, Lola. No,
[26:48] still have the clasp. Johnny. I'm happy if you are, thank you.
[26:55] No, I'm not quite happy. See this morning my husband told me
[27:00] where the Superay. Oh, I'm very sorry, Lola. You've been very
[27:04] kind. That's all right. This is goodbye. Yeah, you'll never get
[27:14] over Johnny Damas. Goodbye, Lola. If anybody ever bothers you again,
[27:21] let me know. Huh names Marlow, Philip Marlow, Remon, Philip Mallow
[27:42] I drove almost to Meliboo, and then I parked. And then I walked
[27:49] way out on a rock quick jutting into the Pacific Ocean. And then I
[27:55] reached into my pocket and dug out the string of Bohemian last pearls the Kennedy
[28:02] Barr had found in Waldo's car. I cut them knot at one end,
[28:07] slipped the pearls off, one by one, one by one, I flipped
[28:15] them into the water. Would have seen the gulls swoop down on them.
[28:21] Then they flapped up again, screaming indignantly onny pearls. They'd fooled Waldow and
[28:29] Lola Varsila, but they couldn't pull the seagull, I said aloud, So
[28:37] the memory of Johnny Delmas, just another four flushing. I listened awhile with
[28:53] the wheeling seagulls. All at once I realized that the wind had died.
[29:00] The Santa Anna had blown itself out. The Red Wind was done. It
[29:06] was over. It was cool again. The Adventures of Philip Barlow, created
[29:19] by Raymond Chandler, stars Gerald Moore and is produced and directed by Norman McDonald.
[29:34] In Tonight's story, Red Wind, Lola was played by Peggy Weber and
[29:38] Barry Kroger was Baldy. Joan Banks played Eugenie Kolchenko, Jeff Corey was lieutenanty
[29:45] Bara Parley Bear was Varsley, Lou Krugman was Waldo, and Wilms Herbert played
[29:51] the bartender. The special music was conceived and conducted by Ivan dit Bars.
[30:22] Philip Marlowe will be back in just a moment, young man, be a
[30:26] marine. Combine travel, adventure and education at no expense to yourself. When
[30:30] you are a marine, you can travel to the far places of the Earth
[30:33] and carry on at the same time your own educational program through free Marine Corps
[30:38] Institute correspondence courses. You have plenty of courses to choose from, and an
[30:44] ideal way of studying geography or history is to take a course dealing with a
[30:48] background of the area in which you are stationed, or any of the more
[30:52] than one hundred and sixty Marine Corps Institute courses. Thanks to this Marine Corps
[30:56] Institute, thousands of marines are making content annual educational advancements during their service in
[31:03] the US Marine Corps. That opportunity upon becoming a US Marine is yours for
[31:07] the asking. Check with your nearest Marine Corps Recruiting Office tomorrow for complete information
[31:21] next week. At the same time, be sure to tune in for another
[31:23] adventure of Philip Marlowe. When Marlowe says, I was low, very low
[31:30] the night I set out searching for the girl with the strange hazel eyes.
[31:36] The fog which hung over Los Angeles didn't help. I felt even worse when
[31:40] I found it, but by then I had death on my hands. If
[31:52] you like your laughs mingled with spicy music, be around tomorrow to hear the
[31:56] premiere of Alka Seltzer Time, feature HERBS writer and Raymond Scott's Quintet. They'll
[32:01] be guest stars too. Here's the show that's guaranteed to keep Monday from being
[32:07] blue. It's coming your way Mondays through Fridays over most of these CBS stations,
[32:12] So consult your local newspaper for the time of Alka Seltzer Time. This
[32:21] is Roy Rowan speaking for CBS the Columbia Broadcasting System. Welcome back. Well.
[32:39] This was essentially the same script as was performed by Van Heflin we listened
[32:46] to about a month ago, and while I thought Heflin did a decent job,
[32:52] this was a better performance just in terms of the amount of energy and
[33:00] Moore's overall style. Overall, this is a strong start for the series and
[33:06] it works as an as an introduction to Marlow and even Lieutenantybara, who will
[33:13] be a regular character in the series. With that, onto some listener comments
[33:20] and feedback, and Richard has this to say, this incarnation of Marlow is
[33:27] new to me. It's fantastic. Thank you for broadcasting it. Well,
[33:31] thanks so much. And that's one thing I really do strive to do is
[33:37] to just bring people every version of a character. And sometimes it can be
[33:45] you know, whether it was Sherlock Holmes or Johnny Dollar. I know when
[33:50] we were going through the other series with John Lone and Charles Russell and f
[33:59] and O'Brien, I kept getting emails asked me when we were going to get
[34:01] to Bob Bailey. But there were some great episodes and great stories along the
[34:06] way, and some hidden gems, even if they haven't become the most commonly
[34:12] played programs. And I think the Van Heflin's stories were definitely good radio and
[34:20] some great stories that haven't been adapted elsewhere for radio. We also have a
[34:25] listener question here from Jeff regarding our big list of radio detective shows. Who
[34:32] ask, what about Dick Tracy. Dick Tracy, Dick Tracy. Yes,
[34:38] we're going to do Dick Tracy eventually, one of the classic characters of detective
[34:47] fiction in the United States. For some reason, I didn't have him on
[34:53] my yes list. I meant to copy him over and I will do that.
[34:58] But yeah, we've got him on the list. The episodes of Dick
[35:00] Tracy are serial episodes that aren't complete, so we can't use them, but
[35:06] there are a couple half hour shows and I think they'll definitely be worth listening
[35:12] to when we get to them. So thanks for the question, Jeffrey.
[35:15] I'll make that clarification anyhow, We will get to Dick Tracy one of these
[35:20] days, thanks so much. All Right, Well, that will do it
[35:22] for today. Join us back here tomorrow for Nick Carter, and we'll be
[35:28] back next Wednesday with another episode of the Adventures of Philip Marlow and the Meantime.
