Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:14):
Rensol r I n s O Soltie Wretch Wrensol presents
Boston Blackie, starring Chester Morris. What are you reading, cheeth,

(00:41):
little Abner, No, listen to this Matthews special feature of
the Great Gems exhibit that the famous Goadet Jewelers will
be the incomparable Star of the Niled Emerald, one of
the most precious gems in the world, so precious that
George Stephens, vice president of Godey's, is personally bringing the
Star to Chicago from the I'll go to New York.

(01:02):
I don't get the joke. Chief, Sure, you don't because
you don't know that Boston Blackie is on the same
train with George Stevens. Chief, I don't tell it. Well,
if I know my Boston Blackie and the my great
sorrow I do, he won't be able to resist the
little gadget worth a cool two hundred grand. I still
don't see what's funny. Besides, Blackie hasn't gone after sparkles

(01:23):
in a long time. I know that, But I also
know one thing that sparkles that's right up Blackie's alley.
And what's that, Dame Sure, Chief of the Star of
the n Ireland a dame. Yeah, but Helen Crewe is
Helen Crewe. Yeah, something's bound to happen on a train
when it's carrying those three George Stevens, Helen Carew and
Boston Blackman. Well, nobody has to lead Blackie to adventure

(01:51):
because somehow adventure always seems to seek him out. And
just the moment we'll hear more about Blackie and.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
The Star of the Nile.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
You know, you can lead us soap to water, but
you can't always make it give thick, rich SuDS, not
if it's hard water, and not if you're using one
of those lazy bar or skimpy SuDS packaged soaps. No, ma'am,
that's when you want rinsols, soapy rich rinso. On the job,
you see rinsol bubbles up in the mountains of SuDS
practically at the touch of water, SuDS that go right

(02:20):
to town on your clothes, SuDS that get out more
dirt to give you that rinso white rinso, bright wash,
and no heart scrubbing or boiling to ruin your wash
day disposition. Short soaking in rinsol SuDS, a few quick
finger rubs on extra soiled places and your clothes are
ready to rinse. So next wash day, where's a lot
of rinsol wash, a wash that's rinsed and rinso bright

(02:45):
and now Chester Morris and the Adventures are Boston, Blackie.
It's obvious that an international bank should be established for reconstruction.

(03:09):
At the United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference held at
Betton Woods, certain preliminary steps were taken. However, it is
only the beginning when you realize that the International Monetary
Fund we'll total around eight billion, five hundred million dollars.
But that's only the beginning as well, a small beginning.
You know, I get kind of mixed up when I
start counting over eight hundred and second, all the young men,

(03:31):
we'll all have to learn how to count in millions
and billions in the post war world. That's very interesting.
Oh well, here you are, Steard. I'd like some dessert
if you take this seedment? Oh thank you, never mind
the dessert suit. Well I'm finished. Wouldn't you rather have
this chair by the window? Thank you? And good day
to you young man.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
Thanks for your company.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
Well thanks to you for the tip on the international
monetary situation. If I can't wait to use it, very interesting.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
Man and very fish looking to Really I don't know.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
But he's awfully good at counting. Is Is it all
right if we talk? Why not?

Speaker 3 (04:03):
You see, my mother never told me not to talk
to strangers on a train.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
I like your mother, very intelligent woman.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
Well, I'm no isolationist. But to make it proper, my
name is Helen Crue.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
Oh and mine is Boston Blackie.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
I've heard that name somewhere. Are you a baseball player?

Speaker 1 (04:20):
No? Why do you like baseball? No? Not particularly well?
Why did you bring up the sunday just.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
To make conversation?

Speaker 1 (04:26):
Fine, let's talk about you, all right.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
Let's I'm a very pleased young lady on a train
between Chicago and New York.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Why are you pleased?

Speaker 3 (04:34):
Because I didn't expect conversation with my dinner?

Speaker 1 (04:36):
Well, you realize that the International Military fund were total
about eight billion, five hundred million dollars this year. No, all,
it's back again. Excuse me, I've lost something. It can't
be that eight million, five hundred million dollars. No, it
was a chemmy pouch. I don't see it.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
Wait, I better get out of the way.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
It isn't here a pardon me? So what did you lose.
This is terrible, terrible waiter. Waiter, it sounds important, young man.
You have no idea how important that couch was worth
two hundred thousand dollars. That's a lot of money to
be carrying around. It wasn't money. It was an emerald,
one of the most valuable gems in the world. The
Star of the Nile got a pretty name. Right. Can

(05:31):
you inspect that I've been robbed because sometime during the
dinner hour, the start of the Nile is missing? Okay,
mister Davis, I got that much the telegram. The conductor said,
We'll search every passenger on the train if we have to.
So calm down. You say you thought you left it
in the diner. Were you alone? No, a young man
joined me for dinner, and then later, just before I left,
a young lady was seated at our table, and friends

(05:52):
of yours, No, just the people one meets on a train.
Now this young man, what was he like?

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Well he was a keen cut.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
Looking chat with dark hair, a good build, nice smile.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
I'm not a bit surprised.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
And the young lady will quite attractive. As a matter
of fact, the young men seemed rather taken with her. Well,
mister Stevens, I don't think you have to worry about
your Star and Nile. I might even say the situation
is well in hand. Matthew should be here any moment. Now.
The man we're looking for him here he is Chief.

(06:25):
Welcome Boston, Blackie, Welcome home, Ah your new homes. As
a matter of fact, I've prepared a special escort to
take you there. Wow, how thoughtful, Inspector. But there's the
brass band. I'd come out at, Blackie, where's the emerald?
This is a great shot to meet young men. It's
no shot to me, sir. I know my Paraday. He
never fails, he never fails to be dead wrong. I'm
sorry to disappoint you, Blackie, but you were in the

(06:47):
diner with mister Stevens when the emerald disappeared. Mister Stevens,
I didn't even know that was his name. Ah, how Blackie,
As if you didn't know that mister Stevens was vice
president of Godey's and then he was carrying the Stars
and I out to New York, As if you didn't
read the papers. Of course I read paper's, Inspector, but
I was a little more interested in the fact that
we've just taken can and side that. Okay, okay, now
you can tell me all about that at headquarters. Come

(07:07):
on by, I look, Paraday, do you mind if I
talk this over with missus Stevens. Whatever you have to say,
you stay at headquarters. Come on, I'll be in touch
with you, inspect you. Thanks again about that brass band, Blackie,
arrange to have one when we send you up the river.
Oh oh yes, yes, my uncle Paraday always brings the
town call to meet me Uncle Faraday, my aunt.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
What your uncle Faraday must have a lot of influence.
I wonder when the police are going to let the
rest of us off the chain.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
Well, miss Carew, I'll see if I can use my
inst You see, he happens to be the police. Oh uncle,
meet miss Carew. How do you do please Mascha. I
hope this fellow hasn't taken you into Oh no.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
Mister Parady. On the contrary, he's been very nice to Yeah,
that's Blackie.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
You might as well know, miss Carew. He's being charged
with the theft of the Star of an Isle.

Speaker 3 (07:55):
That's impossible.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
Impossible. What do you mean, miss Carew was a table when.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
Mister Stevens discovered is lost, and I'm sure that mister
Blackie had nothing whatever to do with it.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
You haven't known him as long as I have, Miss Carew.
You need to tell me that Boston Blackie didn't do it.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
That's exactly what I mean.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
Thanks mister Rule for telling the inspector something that he
should have known. He usually goes the long way around.
You helped him find the shortcut. Oh you haven't gone yet, Inspector. No,
I'm afraid we'll have to begin all over again. Mister Stevens,
what do you mean now, Miss Carew, here has a
strong alibi for Blackie, and I'm still looking for a loophole.
But under the circumstances, I'm afraid I can't hold him.

(08:32):
But you're going to do something about it, don't you, Inspector. Well,
after all, you were sure that the Emerald must still
be on the train. That's right, mister Stevens, it is.
That's what I tried to tell you before the inspector
shut me up. Oh so you know, Well, come on, Blackie,
where is it? I didn't say any where, mister Stevens.
You're rather absent minded, aren't you? Absent minded?

Speaker 3 (08:50):
Why?

Speaker 1 (08:50):
No? No, perhaps aren't jumping to conclusions. But of course,
if you remember, you left the diner without paying your bill.
I do, oh, not that I minded buying here dinner,
mister Stevens, but it occurred to me that if you
were absent minded enough to forget your dinner check you were,
you also might have forgotten something else. How could I
forget the start of the Nile? I put it in
my vest pocket just before I went.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
Into the diner.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
Oh, oh, are you sure you put it in your
vest pocket, mister Stevens. Yes, yes, we're helping the whole thing.
So you know, all during dinner I was ending you,
missu Stevens, I really was. You look so cool and
comfortable in that sports jacket. You were wearing it, and
you weren't wearing a vest, mister Stephens, I wasn't. Well
that's absurd. Now wait a minute, what's going on here?

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Vest?

Speaker 1 (09:32):
Sports jackets? Come on, Blackie, don't you remember, mister Stephen.
Let me think I lay down to take a nap
just before dinner, and I got up and dressed, and
by George, you're right, the emerald must be in the
vest that I packed in my suitcase. Oh, Inspector I'm
terribly sorry to have caused you all this trouble. And
you young man, and that young lady, Oh, thank you,
thank you very much, and good day, Hell Hotty. I

(09:56):
like that you seem to be disappointed inspected. Yeah, you know,
but Boston Blackie can sit next to a guy in
a train that's got something worth two hundred grand and
not do something about it. I guess it's time I
turned in my bag. But you should have thought of
that before, Inspector. Just think by now, you could have
had a cottage, a couple of cows, Victory Garden instead
of that pet ulcer of yours. By the way, what

(10:16):
do you call it, Boston Blackie? What else? I inspected?
How sweet of you naming your first one after me? Oh,
miss Carol, I've been looking for you. Here's a cab

(10:37):
coming up now. May I drop you some places where too,
Miss Barrel? Okay, drive a forty eighth street off Les.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
You don't miss a thing, do you? Display?

Speaker 1 (10:46):
Well? I have a great appreciation for beautiful things.

Speaker 3 (10:49):
Oh then you must have seen the Star of the Nile,
Star of the Nile.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
I was talking about beautiful things such as well the
dessert I had for dinner last night.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
Oh, I'm just marveling at how clever you were helping
mister Stevens to find his emeralds.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
Well, it isn't hard to find something that was never lost,
miss Grew. And incidentally, thanks for putting in a good
word for me with the inspector. By the way, I'll
bet there's another thing your mother forgot to warn you
about accepting dinner invitations from a young man in a
taxi care. I told you not to disturb me, miss Epate.

(11:34):
I'm too busy to see.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
Oh who are you, Loi Louis? Yeah, Miller said you
wanted to see me.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
Oh, oh, yes, mister Louis.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
Won't you sit down all Look, let's get this straight
to mister Stevens.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
I don't know you, but Miller said you had a
job for a guy with fingers. Well, and I wouldn't
exactly put it that much. Another thing, mister Stevens, this
is strictly a business. Miller says, you want me to
open up a safe down Go Days and lift the
hunk at jewelry? Well now, and what's more, mister Stevens,
I know your vice president of Go Days.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
That's your business that it ain't mine.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
And if you're worrying about what might happen, you're in
a swell spot. After all, who the judge believe me
or you? Veil and glad we understand each.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
Other, mister Louis.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
The emerald has already been deposited in the Godet vault,
and since the exhibit will open tomorrow, there's no reason
for any further delay. Okay, buddy, didn't you recall you

(12:47):
well vaguely? To be honest with your shorty, I had
my mind on somebody else, for boss. I just heard
something I thought you'd be interested in. Hew, you know
you were telling me about that emerald mixed up on
the train. Well, I just got a tipsy somebody's going
to crack the Godet's state for that elmord when midnight?
How straight was this tip Shorty? Very reliable sip us
fingers told me fingers, Oh, that's too big a job

(13:09):
for him. He's only got ten. Well, that's what the
man said. He said that that's small time safe cracker.
I guess I'd better go down and help him out,
but before business pleasure. Well, for once, miss Carew, I
can't blame Faraday. After all, he brought us together, brought

(13:30):
us together? Yes, what do you mean? Well, if he
hadn't accused me, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to
vouch for me, And well I wouldn't have had the
opportunity to show you my appreciation.

Speaker 3 (13:39):
Oh see, Well the whole thing was a little silly, all.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
Well, not altogether. Faraday has the memory of an elephant
and the persistence of a little beaver, and looks like
both of them. If anything happens, it's got to be
bossed in blacks, isn't Oh I don't know. Paraday hounds me,
but it's good to have him around at the lind
Up righty.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
I don't quite make you out, but I like you.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
Thanks, I hope that's an understatement.

Speaker 3 (14:02):
Well, I'm surprised the police is so.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
Suspicious as well. That's the story of my life. You see.
Faraday has good instincts, only he picks the wrong person.
If he knew, for instance, that tonight I may have
something to do with robbing a bauld, he'd become suspicious
right away.

Speaker 3 (14:17):
But of course you haven't anything to do with them.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
But of course I have. Only it's not as bad
as a sound.

Speaker 3 (14:23):
Now I'm really pussed.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
Well, the only puzzle is why don't I spend the
rest of the evening with you? Meaning that you have
to leave, meaning that I have an important conference about
something green and something Egyptian.

Speaker 3 (14:33):
Oh I see, but like the stinks, you won't talk.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
Perhaps I'll have something to chagulate in. I'll get you cooked.

Speaker 3 (14:39):
Oh thanks, I have your fun.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
But don't make any dates for the next month. I
want to put in my bed first.

Moss and the Adventures of Boston Blackie. Boston Blackie, unaware
that Helen Carew has tipped off Inspector Faraday as to
his destination, is en route to Godet's Jewelers to try

to prevent the robbery of the vault there and to
discover who is back of the attempt to seal the
famous Sarve Denile Emerald. It is midnight at the Godet vault.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
Huh yeah, Fingers and millerk Hey, what is this a
national convention? Where's Backie?

Speaker 2 (18:46):
How do you know Blackie was going to be down there?

Speaker 1 (18:48):
Fairly? The little bird told me. But where is he? Well?
I don't expect you to beleave this insticker, but so
help me. We were passing to the alley and we
heard the noise, and we come in naturally curious, you understand,
And who do you suppose we're starting to crack that vault,
don't I mean Boston Blackie. Yeah, well then what are
we doing out here in the alley. He couldn't have
gotten away? Yeah, Chief, there's only two doors in that room.
We came to this one, yo, he better be back
in that ballroom. That's right, head, he watched these mugs here.

(19:11):
Come on, Matthews, let's have a look. I ain't in here.
I can see for myself, Matthews.

Speaker 2 (19:20):
I can see for myself.

Speaker 1 (19:21):
I must to stick through the door before we came in. Matthews,
You're fired me, sheef, I need's done nothing. Pat's a trouble.
You'll never do anything. I'll see at the balls open Matthews. Okay, Chief,
no knock side of the drum and a mark on her.
It's like we saved the Emerald for go today times
thick there. Yeah, but I wish somebody had saved Blackie
for me. Matthews. I hate to say it, but we

(19:42):
gave Blackie a break. He came in just in time
to save him from getting into trouble. I just wanted
to thank you, we respected for preventing the robbery last
night and catching the thieves. Don't mention that, mister Stevens
and tell me. Did they have a chance to open

(20:03):
the vault? Nope, we were Johnny on the spot. They
never even got started. Day, Inspector. I can't thank you
enough for the fine job you've done. Find job. Nothing
ever happens. Nobody steals anything. Listen, mister Stevens. If somebody
should steal that Emerald and I catch him, then you
can thank me. What burns me up is that Boston
Blackie was down there too, but he got away. Boston Blackie,

(20:24):
he got away. Are you'm sure the vault wasn't open? Sure,
we tried it. It was a lot less fine, But
to be on the safe side, i'd better check up.
I'll go right down to the vault myself. But I

(20:44):
tell you, Kennedy, it's gone. The Emerald's gun. I just
searched the vault. It's gone. That's great. I'm really got
buston Blacky.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
Now, don't worry, mister Stevens.

Speaker 1 (20:52):
Calm down, you'll get your smarm. I'll get bust Blacky.
So that's what happened. Helen Paraday collected three mugs, and
he didn't seem pleased about it.

Speaker 3 (21:05):
Blackie, how did you get out?

Speaker 1 (21:06):
Well? While Paraday was rounding up the other mugs, I
got the last number the Vult's combination. You see. I
opened the door and stepped in and then closed it.
Locked in. I was locked in, fortunately, because somebody tried
the handle of the vault later, you see, Helen. Modern
vaults have an anti hold up device.

Speaker 3 (21:19):
What's that?

Speaker 1 (21:20):
Oh, it's a sort of gimmick that locks the door
from me inside. Well, I just pushed the lever after
they left, I slipped out through the alley door. What
were you ask a Blackly, I told you before, something
green and something Egyptian, the Star of the Nile Emerald.
Of course.

Speaker 3 (21:32):
Did you find it in the vault?

Speaker 1 (21:33):
Yes, oh, but I didn't take it. I just wanted
to make sure it was there.

Speaker 3 (21:37):
He didn't take it, Blackie, I don't understand you.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
Now, Look, somebody's after the Star of the Nile, and
if he gets it, somebody's going to take the rap
for it. Could be me, but that's not the point.
Nobody's going to take a rap for somebody else while
I'm around.

Speaker 3 (21:48):
You're talking about somebody who I'll.

Speaker 1 (21:50):
Find that out. But first I want to have a
talk with mister Stevens at his hotel. Perhaps he has
an idea. Goodbye, Helen. Next time, I promise you we
won't have any outside in its.

Speaker 3 (22:03):
Operator. Give me Madison seven two seven seven to two.
Hello Helen Cruz speaking. Oh the inspector isn't there, Well,
then I want to leave a message. Tell him that
Broston Blackie is on his way to the Kavanaugh Hotel
to see mister Stephens. I can't wait for the inspector
to call back, so tell him I'm going to see
Stevens too right now. To try to get the inspector

(22:24):
there as quickly as you can.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
Slow down, Blakie, slow down there, Okay, you can marching
step with me and Matthews. Now you're taking your afternoon
constitutional gentleman, what were you doing back there at the
middle of the apartment, Blankie? Inspector your privilege to know
anything about my public life, and I insists that you
don't interfare in my private affairs. Well, this is a
little a private affair that I am interfering in. You're
under arrest for stealing the style of an aisle. What again?

(22:57):
And no alibi this time? Either? You were down at
the god Vault with Louis and the two other guys.
I got them and searched them that you got away.
How somebody got that m rattle of ball? Come on,
stake a lay Jackie. Hey, I didn't say I stopped.
I said go police, police, I've been wrong. Who have
you gone? Nuts? Blackie? We go? Please? What is this

(23:19):
to go with? Help now? Listen, you don't really give
it to you? And he's killing me? Hey, he's gone, man? Yes,
why don't you help me out of this? Come away? Cool? Fuck?
I'm a police inspector, honest, I am Matthew's quick shooter packy. Hey, listen,
all of you sad back way off that fella. Here's
a plate that's master. It is police to gef skated

(23:39):
black You get away? Yeah, jus, you're fired.

Speaker 3 (23:50):
I was sure he was coming here, mister Steeves.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
Miss carew why should mister Blackie come to see me
at my hotel? Besides, I'm confident that by this time
Inspectipenity has made sure that the young man is so
long free agent.

Speaker 3 (24:00):
Perhaps yes, perhaps you're right, but I'm not sure the
inspector is right. And what are you doing?

Speaker 1 (24:05):
Well?

Speaker 2 (24:05):
Miss crew?

Speaker 1 (24:06):
It's quite obvious that you have an attachment to mister
Blackie and if the police had taken him, I won't
have to worry about the start of the Nile any
longer the police happens. Secondly, Missus Stevens, Boston Leckie. And incidentally,
if I knew how much the Star of the Nile
would be worth to you, I might listen to reasons lacky. Hello,
miss crew, I rather expected you be here too. I
wouldn't try to phone Missus Stevens. You really don't want

(24:26):
the police to come up here? Why not? Because it
would be very embarrassing for you. And besides, it would
be very embarrassing if I had to use this gun, Blackie. Look,
cor Hella Doll Hellen, why did you knock the gun
out of my head?

Speaker 3 (24:37):
Because you had me fooled for a while. But I'm
finally beginning to understand you black all.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
Right, the two of your stains team put your hands
up high. Oh so you have a gun too, Missus Stevens.
Is that to God the emerald you stole from your
own vault?

Speaker 3 (24:50):
Mister Stevens took the emerald.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
Yes, Usually when people want to steal something, they just
steal it. But mister Stevens had to do it the
hard way. But You've made it much easier for me.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
Mister Blackey.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
You see you in the Bault and now everybody will
know that Boston Blackie. Still the email. That's one thing
I'd like to know, missus Stevens. Why does a vice
president of a large firm like Go Days have to
steal a piece of jewel? It was an ugly word
for an embezzlement. I'm off they starting this CAREW staided
that you came here tonight because no one else can
know what you too know. Now I'm going to have
to kill you. Come on, Stevens, give me that gun.
See where you are. I want that gun, Steve. I

(25:19):
told you to stay where you are. You can't pull
that trigger. Get Thanks Alen for sending the message. Yeah, Inspector,
I think mister Stevens will go with you know Stevens, Yes, inspector,
And thanks for putting Helen on this case. We've got
your man.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
Come on, let's go.

Speaker 1 (25:33):
I won't come. I can't go. I've gone long enough.
I gonna have a catch up. For years now, I've
been running after myself, running away from something I couldn't stop.
But I've got to stop. You'll never get there.

Speaker 3 (25:43):
Tell you I've got this camp.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
Well, we got what we were looking for, but I
can't say I'm very happy about it. Well, Faraday, this
time I really got to thank you. Don't kid me black,
no on the level you saved my life. You know,

(26:09):
it's the first time in ten years that I've been scared.
Really well, you know Stevens might have pulled that trigger.
No such luck, Faul. Very funny. Yes, either shot Helen
and me. If you hadn't knocked on the door, he
had only one other way out, Faraday, and because you
came in, he took that way, always blaming it on me. Huh,
look in, Stector, won't you miss me a teeny little
bit because a guy I miss a headache? You know, Helen,

(26:30):
you really had me fooled. Well, let me give you
a tip. The next time you call Madison seven two
seven seven two, you better be inside a telephone booth. What.
Remember when we were out for dinner the first time? Yeah, well,
I want to get your coat, and as I was leaving,
I heard you ask the operator for Madison seven two
seven seven two, my private number. Sure, only a few
people know that number, and I'm proud to be one
of them.

Speaker 3 (26:49):
So you knew I was working for the infection, sure,
but that didn't matter.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
You already had your hooks in me, and I couldn't
get loose.

Speaker 3 (26:55):
Well, perhaps now you'd like me to unhook you, Oh.

Speaker 1 (26:59):
Honey, with you, anything goes by hook or by crook.
I suppose it's your business if you want to make
a big job out of dish washing, But I'd like
to butt in just the same because I feel you
don't really like to spend a lot of time at
the kitchen sink, and you don't have to if you

(27:21):
put Rinso to work for you. Those peppy Rinso SuDS
get your dishes sparkling bright so easily that there's not
much point in scraping and scouring with the lazy SuDS
of some soaps. And Rinso's so economical too. Just a
little Rinso goes a long long way. So better get
Rinso tomorrow for dish washing, for all the soap and
water jobs around the house, and for a wash that's

(27:44):
Rinso white and rins bright. And now a glimpset next
week's adventure of Boston blackt it go what I'm playing?
Close Cops in that car, You're never going to interrupt

(28:05):
no one of our hijack jobs playing close cops. There
may no cops. The driver of the car that just
wrapped around a telephone poll is Boston Blacky. Friends. Millions
of tons of paper are needed to ship ammunition and
blood plasma, so vitally necessary in the winning of this war.

(28:26):
Do your share to see that our boys get the
material they need, save paper. The need is terribly urgent now.
One simple way to help is to take your own
shopping bags with the grocers. Be sure to listen in

(28:53):

with Boston Blackie. You can see jes To Morrows as
Boston Blackie on the screen at your favorite movie theater.

soap for your money, and besides, it's the only soap
