Clue's the Proscenium Club the last strongholder Shakespeare in this country.
Never It's not just a club for a few old
Shakespearean actors. It is the fortress for the old soldiers
carrying the flickering torture culture, making a last desperate stand
against the forces of Milton Ball.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Don't get excited.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Picture the clubhouse, Lily, it should be a shriy.
Speaker 3 (05:22):

We are annual financial statement of the Presning Club for
the fiscal year, whatever that means. Here we are here
the income from dows twenty six dollars, only.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Twenty six dollars. I paid twenty of it myself, bully

Speaker 9 (07:34):
Annual Christmas dance to augment the twenty six dollars in
the treasure?
Speaker 6 (07:38):

Speaker 2 (07:39):
You remember the dance? Jolly affair. Wasn't it wonderful?
Speaker 5 (07:46):
What a turnout?
Speaker 2 (07:48):
How did we do? We lost the twenty six dollars.
Speaker 9 (07:55):
March fifth, the annual Shakespeare Memorial beef Steak banquet. You're
afraid of losses sustained by the Christmas dance?
Speaker 8 (08:02):
Well, you couldn't lose on that there was no expense.
The meat was donated and it was cooked by the
Ladies of Xiliary.
Speaker 9 (08:08):

Speaker 9 (08:23):
The Shakespeare Memorial Beefsteak Banquet one hundred and sixteen dollars
and thirty eight scent.
Speaker 8 (08:32):
Sir guy, we actor as in the Pacidium Government's faced reality.
Once in our lives, we haven't the senties treasury and
a thousand dollars payment on the mortgage is due.
Speaker 9 (08:41):
That was a mortgage thanks to our emergency committee to
save the clubhouse that's been taking.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Care of the whole thousand maybe more good.
Speaker 8 (08:49):
The emergency committee came through with an idea at last,
or what is it?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Here's yours matter? What we are? Punchboard? I punched? Oh no,
last year it was Pyramid Clubs Montague.
Speaker 7 (09:06):
This is so simple.
Speaker 9 (09:07):
There are one hundred punches on the board. At ten
cents of punch, you make ten dollars.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Good.
Speaker 8 (09:12):
Wait, look what it says on the top of the
board punch for profit. You may win ten dollars. So, guy,
I suppose someone punches out the ten dollar.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Hole, Mantague.
Speaker 9 (09:23):
Your so naive It says you may win ten dollars, Cigar.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
You mean there is no ten dollars punch on the
whole board.
Speaker 9 (09:33):
That's the very same question I asked the man who
sold the punchboards to wash.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Well, what did he say? He just winked. It's dishonest.
Say you can win ten dollars, but there isn't a
chance of winning, Montague. You can't stoop low enough these days.
You wear the Kapower report.
Speaker 9 (09:52):
Why in our own city there is a gambling king,
big Ed McLuhan, who takes the public for a million.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Dollars a year Montague.
Speaker 9 (09:58):
The public once should have fleeh them.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
They get mad if you don't.
Speaker 8 (10:02):
And you're right, Cigar, he's a publican poll a million
dollars a year into the pocket of a big Ed
mclune and left the Presidium Club fall over the wayside.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
I'll give you that punchboard. Yeah here, goodbye, Cigar.
Speaker 9 (10:16):
Goodbye Montagu And the words that the immortal shakes me
at cheap punching.
Speaker 8 (10:23):
The Magnificent Montague was a punchboard. No no, I can't
kind of made that way.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
I couldn't sell anything to punch on a crooked punchboard.
Who could I possibly do that to?
Speaker 6 (10:34):
It's a guy gone, oh, keep your distance. The last
time you said all agnes like that, it cost me
my day off.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
I find I have a little gadget here that may
get you your squirrel coat.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
What is it a trap?
Speaker 2 (10:49):
No, it's a it's a punchboard.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
And when you be late, you're an a good heart. Broadcast.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
I stop being charged Lilius for the club. It's only
a dime of punch. You may win ten dollars.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
Is for the Presidium Club.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Come on, there's only ten cents a punch.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
You can win ten dollars.
Speaker 6 (11:07):
Stop ganging up on me. Wait what am I working
for a family? Or send a goods if.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
We lose the Presidium Club, here's good time and thank you.
Punch out a hole.
Speaker 6 (11:17):
This is a big waste of time, you know, but
here goes My mother.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Told me to pick this one.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
He now unfold a little piece of paper that was
pushed out.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Okay, here goes nothing.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Even if you don't win, they always have cute sayings
printed on the back of the slips.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Well, here's a cute thing.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
What does it say?
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Ten dollars?
Speaker 5 (11:38):
I oh, Edwen, Agnes won.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
The ten dollars get it up is a mistake. Let
me explained.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
He talks, get it up.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
It's impossible.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
The man wins cross my hand with a beautiful dirty
green saw bucks.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
I'll at least punch out the rest.
Speaker 6 (11:56):
I'll punch you in the nose. Come on, boy, ten clams,
two five ones. I'll take it a loose change.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
I guess the club is fighting for his life.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
I'm fighting for a squirrel coat.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
Get it up?
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Ten tippy tippy Candra, Edwin, Agnes won.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
I'll give her the money, but lily, the club hasn't
got a set and.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
Pay her out of your own pocket. You gambled and lost.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Oh all right here, Agnes. Ten dollar bill.
Speaker 6 (12:19):
Oh my favorite picture. Alexander Hamilton. I haven't seen you
in years, Edwin.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
I'll take a punch.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
It's no use for the there. Let's face it.
Speaker 8 (12:28):
We need one thousand dollars and we're running around with
ten cent punchboards. Public doesn't care about the Obsidium Club
and all it stands for.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
Oh now, ed when the public has so many other
worthwhile causes to contribute to.
Speaker 8 (12:40):
Sure, they have to contribute a million dollars a year
to Big Ed McCune's gambling joints. Maybe we got rid
of me and there'll be a little money left for causes,
like a Presidium club.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
It would stop getting excited. There's nothing you can do
about it.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
There isn't it.
Speaker 8 (12:55):
Hell, Lily, I'm going to drive Big Ed mclune and
his gang out of town.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
How can you drive anybody out of town?
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Mcloon is a power in this city.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
You're all alone.
Speaker 8 (13:06):
I have a microphone. Remember I have uncle good heart.
I am a power too. Don't try and stuff in
the lad In the words of Macbeth, I will not yield.
To kiss the ground beneath Big mcluon feet before my body,
I oh my warlike shield. Lay on mcloon, and dan

way when you file the serial numbers off those seven
cards that made out those false registration papers.

You want me to make a decision for you. Should

what you decide, Ronald, remember as you ride out on
the highway with the sound of sirens behind you, always

Clue's the Proscenium Club the last strongholder Shakespeare in this country.
Never It's not just a club for a few old
Shakespearean actors. It is the fortress for the old soldiers
carrying the flickering torture culture, making a last desperate stand
against the forces of Milton Ball.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Don't get excited.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Picture the clubhouse, Lily, it should be a shriy.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
I've seen it. It should be condemned.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Charming, Agnes. You seem to be able to put things

the income from dows twenty six dollars, only.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Twenty six dollars. I paid twenty of it myself, bully
for you? What other income?
Speaker 9 (07:34):
Annual Christmas dance to augment the twenty six dollars in
the treasure?
Speaker 6 (07:38):
Ah?
Speaker 2 (07:39):
You remember the dance? Jolly affair. Wasn't it wonderful?
Speaker 5 (07:46):
What a turnout?
Speaker 2 (07:48):
How did we do? We lost the twenty six dollars.
Speaker 9 (07:55):
March fifth, the annual Shakespeare Memorial beef Steak banquet. You're
afraid of losses sustained by the Christmas dance?
Speaker 8 (08:02):
Well, you couldn't lose on that there was no expense.
The meat was donated and it was cooked by the
Ladies of Xiliary.
Speaker 9 (08:08):
Oh we did well there, martgirl. March the fifth POFECT
thirty seven dollars.
Speaker 8 (08:13):
Good.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
What's next?
Speaker 9 (08:15):
March the sixth, Hospital and stomach pump expenses.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Four members who attended.
Speaker 9 (08:23):
The Shakespeare Memorial Beefsteak Banquet one hundred and sixteen dollars
and thirty eight scent.
Speaker 8 (08:32):
Sir guy, we actor as in the Pacidium Government's faced reality.
Once in our lives, we haven't the senties treasury and
a thousand dollars payment on the mortgage is due.
Speaker 9 (08:41):
That was a mortgage thanks to our emergency committee to
save the clubhouse that's been taking.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Care of the whole thousand maybe more good.
Speaker 8 (08:49):
The emergency committee came through with an idea at last,
or what is it?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Here's yours matter? What we are? Punchboard? I punched? Oh no,
last year it was Pyramid Clubs Montague.
Speaker 7 (09:06):
This is so simple.
Speaker 9 (09:07):
There are one hundred punches on the board. At ten
cents of punch, you make ten dollars.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Good.
Speaker 8 (09:12):
Wait, look what it says on the top of the
board punch for profit. You may win ten dollars. So, guy,
I suppose someone punches out the ten dollar.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Hole, Mantague.
Speaker 9 (09:23):
Your so naive It says you may win ten dollars, Cigar.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
You mean there is no ten dollars punch on the
whole board.
Speaker 9 (09:33):
That's the very same question I asked the man who
sold the punchboards to wash.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Well, what did he say? He just winked. It's dishonest.
Say you can win ten dollars, but there isn't a
chance of winning, Montague. You can't stoop low enough these days.
You wear the Kapower report.
Speaker 9 (09:52):
Why in our own city there is a gambling king,
big Ed McLuhan, who takes the public for a million.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Dollars a year Montague.
Speaker 9 (09:58):
The public once should have fleeh them.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
They get mad if you don't.
Speaker 8 (10:02):
And you're right, Cigar, he's a publican poll a million
dollars a year into the pocket of a big Ed
mclune and left the Presidium Club fall over the wayside.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
I'll give you that punchboard. Yeah here, goodbye, Cigar.
Speaker 9 (10:16):
Goodbye Montagu And the words that the immortal shakes me
at cheap punching.
Speaker 8 (10:23):
The Magnificent Montague was a punchboard. No no, I can't
kind of made that way.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
I couldn't sell anything to punch on a crooked punchboard.
Who could I possibly do that to?
Speaker 6 (10:34):
It's a guy gone, oh, keep your distance. The last
time you said all agnes like that, it cost me
my day off.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
I find I have a little gadget here that may
get you your squirrel coat.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
What is it a trap?
Speaker 2 (10:49):
No, it's a it's a punchboard.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
And when you be late, you're an a good heart. Broadcast.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
I stop being charged Lilius for the club. It's only
a dime of punch. You may win ten dollars.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
Is for the Presidium Club.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Come on, there's only ten cents a punch.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
You can win ten dollars.
Speaker 6 (11:07):
Stop ganging up on me. Wait what am I working
for a family? Or send a goods if.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
We lose the Presidium Club, here's good time and thank you.
Punch out a hole.
Speaker 6 (11:17):
This is a big waste of time, you know, but
here goes My mother.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Told me to pick this one.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
He now unfold a little piece of paper that was
pushed out.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Okay, here goes nothing.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Even if you don't win, they always have cute sayings
printed on the back of the slips.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Well, here's a cute thing.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
What does it say?
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Ten dollars?
Speaker 5 (11:38):
I oh, Edwen, Agnes won.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
The ten dollars get it up is a mistake. Let
me explained.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
He talks, get it up.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
It's impossible.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
The man wins cross my hand with a beautiful dirty
green saw bucks.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
I'll at least punch out the rest.
Speaker 6 (11:56):
I'll punch you in the nose. Come on, boy, ten clams,
two five ones. I'll take it a loose change.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
I guess the club is fighting for his life.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
I'm fighting for a squirrel coat.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
Get it up?
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Ten tippy tippy Candra, Edwin, Agnes won.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
I'll give her the money, but lily, the club hasn't
got a set and.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
Pay her out of your own pocket. You gambled and lost.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Oh all right here, Agnes. Ten dollar bill.
Speaker 6 (12:19):
Oh my favorite picture. Alexander Hamilton. I haven't seen you
in years, Edwin.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
I'll take a punch.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
It's no use for the there. Let's face it.
Speaker 8 (12:28):
We need one thousand dollars and we're running around with
ten cent punchboards. Public doesn't care about the Obsidium Club
and all it stands for.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
Oh now, ed when the public has so many other
worthwhile causes to contribute to.
Speaker 8 (12:40):
Sure, they have to contribute a million dollars a year
to Big Ed McCune's gambling joints. Maybe we got rid
of me and there'll be a little money left for causes,
like a Presidium club.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
It would stop getting excited. There's nothing you can do
about it.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
There isn't it.
Speaker 8 (12:55):
Hell, Lily, I'm going to drive Big Ed mclune and
his gang out of town.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
How can you drive anybody out of town?
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Mcloon is a power in this city.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
You're all alone.
Speaker 8 (13:06):
I have a microphone. Remember I have uncle good heart.
I am a power too. Don't try and stuff in
the lad In the words of Macbeth, I will not yield.
To kiss the ground beneath Big mcluon feet before my body,
I oh my warlike shield. Lay on mcloon, and dan

Speaker 2 (13:28):
