I got a comment here from Murphwho wrote regarding The Better Man, where
Dan Holiday was paired up in acontest sponsored by a rich warped old warped
(01:19):
man rights regarding Holiday's opponent the othercontested sounded to my old ears like Jack
Webb, and you know, listeningto this the second time after I got
that email, I listened to itagain and I could hear I could hear
(01:40):
what Murph was talking about. Ican't say for sure that it was Webb,
because there were a few points whereit was kind of like, is
this I'm not really sure, butBox thirteen was most likely recorded because it
started coming out in forty in fortyseven and forty eight. It was most
(02:01):
likely recorded sometime in early forty seven, maybe late forty six, which could
be the right time frame for aJack Webb appearance, but not entirely certain,
but nice catch there. I coulddefinitely hear it as possibly Jack Webb.
We're gonna get into today's episode ofBox thirteen, The Dowager and then
(02:24):
Holiday in just a moment. Beforewe do get started, I want to
remind you that if you'd love classicfilms, the best way to be able
to affordably access them at your leisureis through Netflix. With Netflix, you
get a DVD in the mail,you watch it, and you send it
back so you can watch It's aWonderful Life, or a Mister Smith Goes
(02:49):
to Washington, or many of AlanLand's great pictures such as Shane. If
you'd like to try Netflix, youcan trot out for free for two weeks.
Go to Great Detectives at Net clickon the Netflix like but let's go
ahead and get into The Dowager andAn Holliday Box thirteen with the style of
(03:20):
paramount pictures. Alan Ladd as DanHoliday, Dan, Mister Box thirteen.
I address you as mister, becauseI assume you are of the nail set.
If you're a woman, disregard thisletter. Come to my home at
(03:42):
seventy five forty six rando and driveas soon as he receives it. I
should be expecting you at once,and I should stake my reading. I
shu state my reason for writing thiswhen I have satisfied myself as to your
qualifications, Very truly yours, MissusMatilda Courtland. Missus Matilda Courtland. Now
(04:06):
why should one of the richest womenin the world and one of the least
accessible be writing to box thirteen?And now back to Box thirteen and Dan
(04:30):
Holiday's newest adventure, The Dowager.I am Dan Holiday, Golly nick is
Matilda Courtland Impress Susie? I suream? Why nobody ever sees her and
practically no one knows what she lookslike. She hasn't had a photograph taken
(04:51):
in come to think of it,I don't ever remember seeing one. Maybe
she's Susie. You mean rec usewhen Matilda Cartland wants help, It's got
to be something big, Okay,Susy. Missus Cartland's wish is my command,
see you later. The Corton matchedon Brandon Drive as at the show
(05:14):
place in the city. People trainedher next to look at her. All
I ever saw was the dignified,prim exterior. Ah, I was privilent.
I saw the inside because when Irang the front doorbell, Yes,
sir, Oh, how do youdo? I'm the man from box thirteen.
Oh, will you come in,sir? Follow me, sir.
(05:38):
I followed the butler down the hallway. The house was just as I expected.
It was the nineteenth century, refusingto believe that the twentieth had ever
rolled around. Then one moment,if you please, sir, yeah,
I beg your pardon, madam,But the gentleman you were expecting has arrived.
(06:02):
There would be old Yes, madam, stand there for a moment.
Huh. I didn't stand there fora moment. The room was dark,
and the shades were drawn over thewindows, and the heavy, old fashioned
drapes letten very little light. Thenmy eyes became more accustomed to the darkness,
and I saw her. Missus MatildaCortland, practically a legend. She
(06:27):
was about seventy five. Her whitehair was drawn tightly back over her head
and was covered by a jet encrustedscar. Her dress was a museum piece
and it fell to the floor andheavy folds. Now you've seen Matilda Cortland.
That's an accomplishment hill Man. Yes, I know it is, Missus
Cortland. Come closer. That's enoughnow turn around, turn around? Yes?
(06:53):
Are you who are simple of whatthis modern age has produced? It's
very nice out there, Missus cortlandtterof opinion? Are you thirty two?
You may sit down? Oh?Thank you? Why didn't you come sooner?
I only received your letter this morning. It's after one. I ate
lunch. I've developed that bad habit. It would have had lunch with me.
Well, a letter didn't invite me, No matter. This is your
(07:15):
advertisement in the Star Times yesterdays,Missus Cartlon. I saw it by chance.
I never read newspapers. I formedmy own opinions, political, surfer
and moral without aid from the press. Some of us, Missus Cartland,
liked to hear other sides of thequestions that may come up. Stop arguing
with me, Missus Cartland. Icame because you asked me to. I
(07:36):
assumed you had something in mind whenyou wrote the box thirteen. I didn't
know it would be a discussion whichneither of us enough young man. Do
you have a name? Oh,yes, yes, Dan Holiday, Daniel
only when I'm being formal. Whydid you put this advertisement in the paper?
Well? I told her. Shelistened without changing expression when I finished.
Then you don't accept payment for yourservices? No, I don't.
(07:59):
Very well, you're going to helpme. Oh just a moment. Now
I haven't heard what you want meto do. Does that nature? You
advertise that you would go any word, do anything. Well, maybe what
you have in mind won't interest me, mister Holiday, I want you to
do this for me. I don'ttell you what it is. Come here
this evening for dinner. Oh I'msorry, but I have an engagement.
Answered well, why I can't nonsense? Anyone can cancel an engagement. Look,
(08:24):
Missus Cortland, this is the twentiethcentury. I know there were days
when the word of Mattila Courtland waslauded the society of this city, when
engagements were canceled right and left toleave room in time for your dinner parties.
But I still have an engagement Iintend to keep. You're unreasonable,
No correction, independent is the way, no matter, but it does matter,
Missus Cartland. Now you'll excuse memeat. Yes, tomorrow night thing,
(08:50):
I think I can make that seveno'clock. Please be promped. Do
I dress, of course? Andmeanwhile I am to guess what you want
me to do. I know thatdinner isn't all of it, and that's
quite right. You'll meet my grandsonand a woman and then, and then,
no matter what I say, you'renot to act surprised, astonished,
(09:13):
or give the least sign that anythingis strange or new to you. No
matter what you say, do youthink you can manage them? I'll try,
missus Cartland, I'll try. Rememberwhat I say or do may startle
you, even shock you, butunder no circumstances or you to betray your
feelings. Now, Jessip will showyou to the door. I shall expect
(09:35):
you tomorrow evening at seven. Well, Box thirteen has brought out some pretty
fancy routines, but this one wasdifferent. I found out what it was
all about that evening at dinner Imet her grandson was about twenty five,
and a girl who was or maybea little younger than he. I was
(09:56):
still wondering what it was all about, and so was the grand son,
Peter. The girl seemed nervous hillat ease, Matilda Cartland wasn't making it
any easier, for it's right,Yes, missus Cartland, did you say
your father had been an engineer?He plays, grandmother Peggy's told you he
was five times. Peter, Iam speaking to miss Wright. Sorry,
(10:16):
what sort of an engineer? Missright? Well? He bow mining chemical,
but he was a locomotive engineer.Really on what, grandmother? Please,
Peter, do not interrupt, Peter. I'd like to go now,
but my dear, we would tospend an evening together. I heard so
much about you from Peter that Ifeel that i'd like to know more.
(10:37):
Yes, missus corner right, wereally got to go, Grandmother, we're
expected somewhere. Where are you going? What does that matter? Yes?
Where are you going? To?The club? Pierre? What's that?
Daniel? Do you know? Oh? Yes, it's a very nice club
dancing Cabby. They don't call himthat anymore, Missus Carlin. Very well,
that will go along? What Ishall go along? Stop sounding like
(11:03):
a motor boat, Peter, Well, Daniel, would you like to go?
If you would? But grandmother,you can't go. Would I be
bad because of my age? Oh? No, of course not. Then
why can't I go. Well,I guess there's no reason, but you'd
have to leave the house. Ididn't expect to carry it along like a
(11:24):
turtle with his shell. Oh,of course, it's a very good reason.
I want to come along, isn'tthat right, Daniel? Yes,
ye, yes, there is.I've decided that i'd been knocked away from
the world too long. Now Ihave a reason for getting out into it,
renewing an old acquaintance, so tospeak. Moreover, since I'm going
to be married at what what didyou say? Yes, Daniel and I
(11:50):
are engaged, mister Holiday. Areyou all right? I am. I
never felt better than my life.I thank you. Must be more careful,
Daniel, Yes, I can seethat well, Peter, you and
miss Wright run along, then Danieland I will join you later. Yes,
grandmother, come on, Peggy,excuse me, I've reserved a table.
(12:13):
You can just ask for me atthe club. Very well, Look,
missus Cartland, Now what were yougoing to say? Why did you
say that? That you mean?Daniel? Yeah, that's it. You
saw that girl, that's right?Yes, yes, what about her?
What she got to do with us? That girl's a fortune hunter. She's
(12:35):
after Peter's money my money right now? And what do I fin in?
I think when she realizes Peter isnot liable to inherit my money, we
can forget her. In other words, exactly, you would inherit my money
as my husband. Not wait aminute, Wait a minute, you don't
have any intention of keeping on withus. To you, I never start
what I cannot finish. I'm sorrythat you can calt me out. Why
(12:56):
because it's ridiculous. I love mygrand son. I would do something ridiculous
to make him happy. Oh,go talk to him that I tried.
He's infatuated with that girl. Allright, forget that. What kind of
a reputation do you think this willgive me? I'll be the fortune,
not at all. You were ina very good living from your writing.
Yeah, I know it. Ihave enough influence to keep this out of
(13:18):
the papers. I promise you.This will be between you, Peter,
that girl, and myself. No, no, I can't, Daniel.
I'm an old woman. I havenothing in the world but that boy,
whom I love dearly. When Idie, I want to be sure he's
(13:39):
happy. I'm lonely, Daniel,very lonely. The only comfort I have
is Peter, and that comfort wouldbe taken away if I thought for even
a moment that his happiness would beruined by a woman who cares nothing for
him. But for what money youhave when I die? Please, Missus
(14:01):
Cortland, what you're asking I knowa great deal. It might cause you
embarrassment, but believe me when Itell you that it cost me a great
deal in pride. Just now toconfide in you, a stranger. I
know what people say about me,Matilda Courtland, tyrant, money bags,
reckless, all those and more.But let me finish. Then you can
(14:26):
decide. I'm afraid to leave thishouse. Afraid why because I'm afraid of
the outside world. When my husbanddied, I went on. Then my
daughter died, my son in lawdied. Peter is all that's left.
I want him to be happy,and I'm willing to sacrifice anything to see
(14:50):
that he is. Missus Cortland,you're making it tough on me. It'll
be just as tough on me asyou put it. How how long does
this go on if I agree?Until I find out? Well and the
sucker, Missus Cartland. But allright, thank you now, Daniel,
Please take me to the Club Pierre. So we went to the Club Pierre.
(15:18):
I don't remember much about what happened, except that I felt like a
goldfish in a bull without water.Well, I played my partner well for
two days more that on my apartment. I've come to see you holiday because
I want to talk with you.All right, Peters, it on a
talk. You can't be serious aboutgrandmother. I mean, what makes you
say that? Well, you justcan't. Why she's old enough to be
(15:41):
your grandmother. She's charming, gracious, I'm rich. Money isn't everything it
must be to you. I'll waita minute, Peter. What your grandmother
does is none of your concern.It is when she makes a fool of
herself or when someone does it forher, meaning me meaning you. I
don't think I have Besides, I'mhaving and I've learned a drive for electric
run about. It's a little slow, but not even serious. Now,
(16:03):
how do you know? Because it'sridiculous. Maybe she thinks your romance is
ridiculous. That's none of your business. All right, all right, it's
none of my business. And whatI do is none of your business.
And you insist on going on withus. Why do you say that?
Because if you do, I'll finda way to stop it. Oh I
don't know, but I will.Is that a threat, Peter, No,
(16:25):
that's a promise, all right,as long as we're playing. Oh
promise me, I can promise youthat I'll take care of myself. I'll
see about that holiday, and Iwarn you you're going to get into trouble.
(16:52):
And now back to the Dowager andDan Holiday, another Box thirteenth adventure
with Alan Land as Dan Hollow.Well it all looks so simple. Just
go along with the game and tellmun Tildy Courtland call it off. Yeah,
sure that was all. Then onenight at her home, to night,
(17:14):
Daniel, you're taking me to theopera. Oh look, missus Cartland.
Don't you think this has gone fineenough? I'm not finished. We're
getting no place. Peggy rights thedrug when we stopped, Daniel, No,
hand me that case on the tablethere? Oh this one over here?
Yes you are. Have you everheard of the Courtland Emerald Laniel?
Who hasn't? Now you're going tosee them beautiful, aren't they? Well?
(17:41):
I would argue with you. Theywere to go to Peter's bride.
As they came to me, nicelittle trinkets. Each one is perfect and
perfectly maxed for the next twenty ofthem. You've got to wear that nicknas,
Yes, fasten it for me?Then, all right. As I
(18:03):
fastened the clasp of the necklace,I got a funny feeling. Maybe it
was the jewels themselves, green glowingin the yellow life of the room.
Then when I finished, thank you, Daniel. No, if you're ready,
all right, let's go. Waita minute, I think I hear
Peter. Are you just about readyto the Emeralds? Yes, Peter,
(18:25):
the Emeralds. I'm wearing them tonight. But you can Why not, Peter?
Well, I mean it's it's dangerous, isn't it. Why? All
I meant was are you sure theclasp was tied? It won't come loose
or anything? Of course, notcome along, Daniel, Yes sure,
and Peter, what you can closeyour mouth now. Didn't hear much of
(18:51):
the apper because I kept thinking howstrange Peter had looked when he saw the
necklace, how matilic Carton It lookedas if wanting her grandson to be quiet,
say nothing wrong. Then the operawas over. He drove her home
and I went home to bed.Yeah, who is it? Holiday.
(19:15):
O. Who is it police?Police? Wait a second, hey,
what's up? You're den Holiday?And that's what the name on my mailbox
says? Why sergeants stay out here? Oh wait, what's the big idea?
(19:36):
Got a warrant to bring in manyof what force Warren out by missus
Matilda Courtland? Why let me seethat one? Do you like the way
it's written? Holiday? What's thecharge? Robbery? This is insane?
What are you talking about? Ican't talk any plainer than I did Holiday
robbery? Of what about twenty mrolls? Nicklas? Almost immediately after I
(20:06):
came inside this house. It wasjust after I left, mister Holiday.
No one else was with you.You know as well as I do that
I didn't take that necklace. Itwas missing. Then look all over the
house. The insurance company has alreadydone that. Well, Holiday, you
said that once, did I?Well, you didn't answer it. I
can't. Will you need me anymore? Officer? No, I don't
excuse me. You can hang upJesse if I've taken it here in the
(20:30):
library, Yes, of course it'sa beauty officer A well, uh,
oh okay, stay there? Gotany good answers? Holiday Answers to what
how the necklace got into your apartment? Oh, this was a beauty.
(20:59):
I was looking out of a framethat crowded me. But good. I
knew Missus Cartland had that necklace whenshe had left me last night. I
saw it. Yet how could itget in my apartment? And why?
Yes? I saw kling and hepulled some strings and I was out on
bail. I had to get someanswers fast, and I thought Peter could
(21:21):
give them to me. I'm sorry, Holiday, I can't do a thing.
Listen, you saw that necklace whenyour grandmother and I left for the
opera last night, and I sawit when I brought her home. And
how did it get into your apartment? Maybe you've got an answer? No,
listen, your eyes popped out ofyour head when you saw your grandmother
wearing that necklace last night? Whyright? I knew something would happen.
How did you know? What givesyou the right to question me? I'm
(21:45):
doing it all right. Go aheadand ask. I was with your grandmother
all even and I wasn't. Ifyou want to check, go ahead,
But it looks as though you werein a mess. Holiday. Nothing I
could add to that. Sure,I checked Peter was in the clear.
He hadn't been near his grandmother fromthe time he saw us until the next
(22:07):
morning. Yet someone had to takethat necklace and planted in my apartment,
and it looked like a frame upbetween Peter and his grandmother? Why frame
me? Why go through this wholeelaborate fix just to fasten a crime on
a guide had ever seen before?And I got an idea. I went
(22:27):
to the insurance company. Of course, mister Holiday, now that the necklace
has recovered, we have nothing moreto do with the case. But if
it hadn't been recovered, you'd havepaid the claim, right, certainly,
but it's not the insurance money theywere after. Missus Courtland, certainly not.
She's enormously wealthy. Yeah, butyou know, it is a little
strange, come to think of it. What's strange? Come to think of
(22:48):
what? Probably nothing, But wewere due for our routine checkup in just
two days check up of one.Well you must know we make a checkup
on insured objects every so often,and one was doing two days. Yes,
Oh, I see, I begyour pardon. Oh nothing nothing,
Well, thanks very much. Butit still didn't make sense. It still
(23:12):
came back to the necklace being foundin my apartment. Then I figured out
another angle, and my next stopwas to see miss Peggy Wright. What
do you mean? What are youtalking about? I asked a simple question,
miss Wright, and that was whenwere you in Peter planning to leave?
Leave? Leave where I gotta lot? You know what I'm talking about,
I say, you and Peter planto Elope? We didn't. We
(23:34):
never even thought of it. Allright, are you telling the truth?
Of course I am. Why shouldI lie about that? I don't know.
Look, miss Ride, are youin love with Peter? Yes,
you want to get married if itweren't for her. But if I marry
his grandmother, then you wouldn't getthe money. Oh, I don't care
about that. I I could swearshe was telling the truth. At first,
(23:57):
I thought Peter had taken the necklaceso that he and Peggy could get
away from Missus Cortland. But it'sa dead end again, and there was
that other thing bothering me? Whyframe me? Then I went back to
see Missus Cortland. I can giveyou ten minutes, mister Holiday, That's
all I want. Just a coupleof questions. Wait, if I promise
(24:18):
not to prosecute if I drop thewhole thing? Will you forget it?
Oh? Wait a minute, letme get this straight. You're willing to
forget all this? Yes? Whybecause perhaps I like you? Oh?
No, that's not it. ThenI have nothing more to see, Yes,
but I have. Why did youdecide to wear that necklace to the
opera last night? It's mine andI wear it when I please. But
(24:40):
why last night? And why wasit missing this morning? It's a little
too much of a coincidence that youwore the emeralds last night and that they
were found in my apartment this morning. Please leave, mister Holiday. And
Peter almost fell over when he sawyou with that necklace that night, And
and what this morning when you heardit was found in my apartment? You
(25:03):
almost fell over? Come on,missus Cartlin, what's going on? Do
you want money to forget a littlebit this? Oh? I don't want
money. I want the truth.And maybe even then I won't forget it.
Jessip will show you out. Jessipwill find himself on the end of
a fist if he tries it.Before I find out a few things,
I'll call the police. Go ahead, go ahead, I'll wait. Well,
(25:23):
why don't you call I have nowish to harm you, Missus Cartman,
and I what were you going tosay? Nothing? Nothing at all.
I just getting an idea, that'sall, an idea. Fantastic,
but it made sense. I linedup my facts. First, Peter's reaction
(25:47):
when he saw the necklace. Second, the insurance checkup was due just after
the necklace disappeared. Third, Peterhadn't had a chance to touch the necklace
between the time I saw it lastand when it appeared up my apartment.
Unless his grandmother were trying to frameme. That didn't make sense because there
was no reason in the world forthem to do it. So I called
it cling. Another chase around thecity, and I found a man I
(26:08):
was looking for. Okay, Ihad everything I needed, and I called
that evening at the Cartland mansion.I made sure Peter and his geminal are
there, and I took Peggy withme and in the library. Is the
last time we'll see you, misterHoliday? I don't think so, Missus
Cartland, Not after the little gamewe played. What do you mean when
(26:30):
we first started this twist, yousaid you'd do anything for Peter. What
are you getting at Holiday? Andyou, Peter, you said you'd get
me in trouble. Listen now youlisten. You planted a necklace in my
apartment. Silence after that. Butit's true you wanted to frame me.
But you, Missus Cartland, yoususpected he took the necklace, didn't you?
(26:52):
You're quite made? Oh no,the insurance check up coming. You
wanted to avoid a scandal because youthought Peter had taken the necklace. You
had a pace one, huh.I checked and found out the paste one
was the one you wore to theopera. And Peter, what that double
take you did when you saw thepaste necklace? Almost flawed you because you
thought you had the necklace. Youdidn't mean to steal it, did you,
(27:14):
Peter? NOI Holiday is right,grandmother. So you reported the missing
necklace, the paste necklace, MissusCartland, never thinking the real one would
show up. Peter, you owemister Holiday in apology. And there is
the understatement of the year, misterHoliday. I what cadn't we do?
Peggy? Yes, come here,you two, Peter, all right,
(27:40):
Peter, you wanted to protect yourgrandmother by showing me up as a crook.
Missus Cartland. You wanted to protectyour grandson anyway you could. It
seems to me a lot of energywas wasted that could be used to good
advantage. What do you mean,why don't you stop trying to run other
people's lives? Missus Cartland? ThatPeter, and how you get married?
I'm sure isn't this money? She'sout If you don't, this would make
(28:06):
juicy reading in the papers. I'mafraid you wouldn't. Oh yes, I
would very well. Okay, Peter, you wouldn't take your run along Holiday.
Ah, that's good enough. Solong and I, mister Holiday,
(28:27):
you and I are going to theclub Pierre. You very chivalrous, mister
Daniel, so you admit chivalry stilllives. Okay, let's go. I
get the electric runabout we no,no, no, let's go in your
car the runabout a little slow andto Everything's all right now, mister Holliday,
(29:12):
it sure is susy. Oh sofunny. I was just thinking he

neck. See. Oh, I'llgo get the mail for box thirteen.

episode from the series. Thanks foryour thanks for your efforts, and as

brain, the more it will holdif you have one. Thanks so much.

All these shows that I've heard,this had to be something one where where

I rack my brain the hardest tryingto find them, because I knew it
was out there. I knew therewere some episodes, and in the end
I actually found two episodes. Asfar as I've been aware, there was
only one in circulation, so you'llenjoy that once. Jeff Regan's over comment

I got a comment here from Murphwho wrote regarding The Better Man, where
Dan Holiday was paired up in acontest sponsored by a rich warped old warped
(01:19):
man rights regarding Holiday's opponent the othercontested sounded to my old ears like Jack
Webb, and you know, listeningto this the second time after I got
that email, I listened to itagain and I could hear I could hear
(01:40):
what Murph was talking about. Ican't say for sure that it was Webb,
because there were a few points whereit was kind of like, is
this I'm not really sure, butBox thirteen was most likely recorded because it
started coming out in forty in fortyseven and forty eight. It was most
(02:01):
likely recorded sometime in early forty seven, maybe late forty six, which could
be the right time frame for aJack Webb appearance, but not entirely certain,
but nice catch there. I coulddefinitely hear it as possibly Jack Webb.
We're gonna get into today's episode ofBox thirteen, The Dowager and then
(02:24):
Holiday in just a moment. Beforewe do get started, I want to
remind you that if you'd love classicfilms, the best way to be able
to affordably access them at your leisureis through Netflix. With Netflix, you
get a DVD in the mail,you watch it, and you send it
back so you can watch It's aWonderful Life, or a Mister Smith Goes
(02:49):
to Washington, or many of AlanLand's great pictures such as Shane. If
you'd like to try Netflix, youcan trot out for free for two weeks.
Go to Great Detectives at Net clickon the Netflix like but let's go
ahead and get into The Dowager andAn Holliday Box thirteen with the style of
(03:20):
paramount pictures. Alan Ladd as DanHoliday, Dan, Mister Box thirteen.
I address you as mister, becauseI assume you are of the nail set.
If you're a woman, disregard thisletter. Come to my home at
(03:42):
seventy five forty six rando and driveas soon as he receives it. I
should be expecting you at once,and I should stake my reading. I
shu state my reason for writing thiswhen I have satisfied myself as to your
qualifications, Very truly yours, MissusMatilda Courtland. Missus Matilda Courtland. Now
(04:06):
why should one of the richest womenin the world and one of the least
accessible be writing to box thirteen?And now back to Box thirteen and Dan
(04:30):
Holiday's newest adventure, The Dowager.I am Dan Holiday, Golly nick is
Matilda Courtland Impress Susie? I suream? Why nobody ever sees her and
practically no one knows what she lookslike. She hasn't had a photograph taken
(04:51):
in come to think of it,I don't ever remember seeing one. Maybe
she's Susie. You mean rec usewhen Matilda Cartland wants help, It's got
to be something big, Okay,Susy. Missus Cartland's wish is my command,
see you later. The Corton matchedon Brandon Drive as at the show
(05:14):
place in the city. People trainedher next to look at her. All
I ever saw was the dignified,prim exterior. Ah, I was privilent.
I saw the inside because when Irang the front doorbell, Yes,
sir, Oh, how do youdo? I'm the man from box thirteen.
Oh, will you come in,sir? Follow me, sir.
(05:38):
I followed the butler down the hallway. The house was just as I expected.
It was the nineteenth century, refusingto believe that the twentieth had ever
rolled around. Then one moment,if you please, sir, yeah,
I beg your pardon, madam,But the gentleman you were expecting has arrived.
(06:02):
There would be old Yes, madam, stand there for a moment.
Huh. I didn't stand there fora moment. The room was dark,
and the shades were drawn over thewindows, and the heavy, old fashioned
drapes letten very little light. Thenmy eyes became more accustomed to the darkness,
and I saw her. Missus MatildaCortland, practically a legend. She
(06:27):
was about seventy five. Her whitehair was drawn tightly back over her head
and was covered by a jet encrustedscar. Her dress was a museum piece
and it fell to the floor andheavy folds. Now you've seen Matilda Cortland.
That's an accomplishment hill Man. Yes, I know it is, Missus
Cortland. Come closer. That's enoughnow turn around, turn around? Yes?
(06:53):
Are you who are simple of whatthis modern age has produced? It's
very nice out there, Missus cortlandtterof opinion? Are you thirty two?
You may sit down? Oh?Thank you? Why didn't you come sooner?
I only received your letter this morning. It's after one. I ate
lunch. I've developed that bad habit. It would have had lunch with me.
Well, a letter didn't invite me, No matter. This is your
(07:15):
advertisement in the Star Times yesterdays,Missus Cartlon. I saw it by chance.
I never read newspapers. I formedmy own opinions, political, surfer
and moral without aid from the press. Some of us, Missus Cartland,
liked to hear other sides of thequestions that may come up. Stop arguing
with me, Missus Cartland. Icame because you asked me to. I
(07:36):
assumed you had something in mind whenyou wrote the box thirteen. I didn't
know it would be a discussion whichneither of us enough young man. Do
you have a name? Oh,yes, yes, Dan Holiday, Daniel
only when I'm being formal. Whydid you put this advertisement in the paper?
Well? I told her. Shelistened without changing expression when I finished.
Then you don't accept payment for yourservices? No, I don't.
(07:59):
Very well, you're going to helpme. Oh just a moment. Now
I haven't heard what you want meto do. Does that nature? You
advertise that you would go any word, do anything. Well, maybe what
you have in mind won't interest me, mister Holiday, I want you to
do this for me. I don'ttell you what it is. Come here
this evening for dinner. Oh I'msorry, but I have an engagement.
Answered well, why I can't nonsense? Anyone can cancel an engagement. Look,
(08:24):
Missus Cortland, this is the twentiethcentury. I know there were days
when the word of Mattila Courtland waslauded the society of this city, when
engagements were canceled right and left toleave room in time for your dinner parties.
But I still have an engagement Iintend to keep. You're unreasonable,
No correction, independent is the way, no matter, but it does matter,
Missus Cartland. Now you'll excuse memeat. Yes, tomorrow night thing,
(08:50):
I think I can make that seveno'clock. Please be promped. Do
I dress, of course? Andmeanwhile I am to guess what you want
me to do. I know thatdinner isn't all of it, and that's
quite right. You'll meet my grandsonand a woman and then, and then,
no matter what I say, you'renot to act surprised, astonished,
(09:13):
or give the least sign that anythingis strange or new to you. No
matter what you say, do youthink you can manage them? I'll try,
missus Cartland, I'll try. Rememberwhat I say or do may startle
you, even shock you, butunder no circumstances or you to betray your
feelings. Now, Jessip will showyou to the door. I shall expect
(09:35):
you tomorrow evening at seven. Well, Box thirteen has brought out some pretty
fancy routines, but this one wasdifferent. I found out what it was
all about that evening at dinner Imet her grandson was about twenty five,
and a girl who was or maybea little younger than he. I was
(09:56):
still wondering what it was all about, and so was the grand son,
Peter. The girl seemed nervous hillat ease, Matilda Cartland wasn't making it
any easier, for it's right,Yes, missus Cartland, did you say
your father had been an engineer?He plays, grandmother Peggy's told you he
was five times. Peter, Iam speaking to miss Wright. Sorry,
(10:16):
what sort of an engineer? Missright? Well? He bow mining chemical,
but he was a locomotive engineer.Really on what, grandmother? Please,
Peter, do not interrupt, Peter. I'd like to go now,
but my dear, we would tospend an evening together. I heard so
much about you from Peter that Ifeel that i'd like to know more.
(10:37):
Yes, missus corner right, wereally got to go, Grandmother, we're
expected somewhere. Where are you going? What does that matter? Yes?
Where are you going? To?The club? Pierre? What's that?
Daniel? Do you know? Oh? Yes, it's a very nice club
dancing Cabby. They don't call himthat anymore, Missus Carlin. Very well,
that will go along? What Ishall go along? Stop sounding like
(11:03):
a motor boat, Peter, Well, Daniel, would you like to go?
If you would? But grandmother,you can't go. Would I be
bad because of my age? Oh? No, of course not. Then
why can't I go. Well,I guess there's no reason, but you'd
have to leave the house. Ididn't expect to carry it along like a
(11:24):
turtle with his shell. Oh,of course, it's a very good reason.
I want to come along, isn'tthat right, Daniel? Yes,
ye, yes, there is.I've decided that i'd been knocked away from
the world too long. Now Ihave a reason for getting out into it,
renewing an old acquaintance, so tospeak. Moreover, since I'm going
to be married at what what didyou say? Yes, Daniel and I
(11:50):
are engaged, mister Holiday. Areyou all right? I am. I
never felt better than my life.I thank you. Must be more careful,
Daniel, Yes, I can seethat well, Peter, you and
miss Wright run along, then Danieland I will join you later. Yes,
grandmother, come on, Peggy,excuse me, I've reserved a table.
(12:13):
You can just ask for me atthe club. Very well, Look,
missus Cartland, Now what were yougoing to say? Why did you
say that? That you mean?Daniel? Yeah, that's it. You
saw that girl, that's right?Yes, yes, what about her?
What she got to do with us? That girl's a fortune hunter. She's
(12:35):
after Peter's money my money right now? And what do I fin in?
I think when she realizes Peter isnot liable to inherit my money, we
can forget her. In other words, exactly, you would inherit my money
as my husband. Not wait aminute, Wait a minute, you don't
have any intention of keeping on withus. To you, I never start
what I cannot finish. I'm sorrythat you can calt me out. Why
(12:56):
because it's ridiculous. I love mygrand son. I would do something ridiculous
to make him happy. Oh,go talk to him that I tried.
He's infatuated with that girl. Allright, forget that. What kind of
a reputation do you think this willgive me? I'll be the fortune,
not at all. You were ina very good living from your writing.
Yeah, I know it. Ihave enough influence to keep this out of
(13:18):
the papers. I promise you.This will be between you, Peter,
that girl, and myself. No, no, I can't, Daniel.
I'm an old woman. I havenothing in the world but that boy,
whom I love dearly. When Idie, I want to be sure he's
(13:39):
happy. I'm lonely, Daniel,very lonely. The only comfort I have
is Peter, and that comfort wouldbe taken away if I thought for even
a moment that his happiness would beruined by a woman who cares nothing for
him. But for what money youhave when I die? Please, Missus
(14:01):
Cortland, what you're asking I knowa great deal. It might cause you
embarrassment, but believe me when Itell you that it cost me a great
deal in pride. Just now toconfide in you, a stranger. I
know what people say about me,Matilda Courtland, tyrant, money bags,
reckless, all those and more.But let me finish. Then you can
(14:26):
decide. I'm afraid to leave thishouse. Afraid why because I'm afraid of
the outside world. When my husbanddied, I went on. Then my
daughter died, my son in lawdied. Peter is all that's left.
I want him to be happy,and I'm willing to sacrifice anything to see
(14:50):
that he is. Missus Cortland,you're making it tough on me. It'll
be just as tough on me asyou put it. How how long does
this go on if I agree?Until I find out? Well and the
sucker, Missus Cartland. But allright, thank you now, Daniel,
Please take me to the Club Pierre. So we went to the Club Pierre.
(15:18):
I don't remember much about what happened, except that I felt like a
goldfish in a bull without water.Well, I played my partner well for
two days more that on my apartment. I've come to see you holiday because
I want to talk with you.All right, Peters, it on a
talk. You can't be serious aboutgrandmother. I mean, what makes you
say that? Well, you justcan't. Why she's old enough to be
(15:41):
your grandmother. She's charming, gracious, I'm rich. Money isn't everything it
must be to you. I'll waita minute, Peter. What your grandmother
does is none of your concern.It is when she makes a fool of
herself or when someone does it forher, meaning me meaning you. I
don't think I have Besides, I'mhaving and I've learned a drive for electric
run about. It's a little slow, but not even serious. Now,
(16:03):
how do you know? Because it'sridiculous. Maybe she thinks your romance is
ridiculous. That's none of your business. All right, all right, it's
none of my business. And whatI do is none of your business.
And you insist on going on withus. Why do you say that?
Because if you do, I'll finda way to stop it. Oh I
don't know, but I will.Is that a threat, Peter, No,
(16:25):
that's a promise, all right,as long as we're playing. Oh
promise me, I can promise youthat I'll take care of myself. I'll
see about that holiday, and Iwarn you you're going to get into trouble.
(16:52):
And now back to the Dowager andDan Holiday, another Box thirteenth adventure
with Alan Land as Dan Hollow.Well it all looks so simple. Just
go along with the game and tellmun Tildy Courtland call it off. Yeah,
sure that was all. Then onenight at her home, to night,
(17:14):
Daniel, you're taking me to theopera. Oh look, missus Cartland.
Don't you think this has gone fineenough? I'm not finished. We're
getting no place. Peggy rights thedrug when we stopped, Daniel, No,
hand me that case on the tablethere? Oh this one over here?
Yes you are. Have you everheard of the Courtland Emerald Laniel?
Who hasn't? Now you're going tosee them beautiful, aren't they? Well?
(17:41):
I would argue with you. Theywere to go to Peter's bride.
As they came to me, nicelittle trinkets. Each one is perfect and
perfectly maxed for the next twenty ofthem. You've got to wear that nicknas,
Yes, fasten it for me?Then, all right. As I
(18:03):
fastened the clasp of the necklace,I got a funny feeling. Maybe it
was the jewels themselves, green glowingin the yellow life of the room.
Then when I finished, thank you, Daniel. No, if you're ready,
all right, let's go. Waita minute, I think I hear
Peter. Are you just about readyto the Emeralds? Yes, Peter,
(18:25):
the Emeralds. I'm wearing them tonight. But you can Why not, Peter?
Well, I mean it's it's dangerous, isn't it. Why? All
I meant was are you sure theclasp was tied? It won't come loose
or anything? Of course, notcome along, Daniel, Yes sure,
and Peter, what you can closeyour mouth now. Didn't hear much of
(18:51):
the apper because I kept thinking howstrange Peter had looked when he saw the
necklace, how matilic Carton It lookedas if wanting her grandson to be quiet,
say nothing wrong. Then the operawas over. He drove her home
and I went home to bed.Yeah, who is it? Holiday.
(19:15):
O. Who is it police?Police? Wait a second, hey,
what's up? You're den Holiday?And that's what the name on my mailbox
says? Why sergeants stay out here? Oh wait, what's the big idea?
(19:36):
Got a warrant to bring in manyof what force Warren out by missus
Matilda Courtland? Why let me seethat one? Do you like the way
it's written? Holiday? What's thecharge? Robbery? This is insane?
What are you talking about? Ican't talk any plainer than I did Holiday
robbery? Of what about twenty mrolls? Nicklas? Almost immediately after I
(20:06):
came inside this house. It wasjust after I left, mister Holiday.
No one else was with you.You know as well as I do that
I didn't take that necklace. Itwas missing. Then look all over the
house. The insurance company has alreadydone that. Well, Holiday, you
said that once, did I?Well, you didn't answer it. I
can't. Will you need me anymore? Officer? No, I don't
excuse me. You can hang upJesse if I've taken it here in the
(20:30):
library, Yes, of course it'sa beauty officer A well, uh,
oh okay, stay there? Gotany good answers? Holiday Answers to what
how the necklace got into your apartment? Oh, this was a beauty.
(20:59):
I was looking out of a framethat crowded me. But good. I
knew Missus Cartland had that necklace whenshe had left me last night. I
saw it. Yet how could itget in my apartment? And why?
Yes? I saw kling and hepulled some strings and I was out on
bail. I had to get someanswers fast, and I thought Peter could
(21:21):
give them to me. I'm sorry, Holiday, I can't do a thing.
Listen, you saw that necklace whenyour grandmother and I left for the
opera last night, and I sawit when I brought her home. And
how did it get into your apartment? Maybe you've got an answer? No,
listen, your eyes popped out ofyour head when you saw your grandmother
wearing that necklace last night? Whyright? I knew something would happen.
How did you know? What givesyou the right to question me? I'm
(21:45):
doing it all right. Go aheadand ask. I was with your grandmother
all even and I wasn't. Ifyou want to check, go ahead,
But it looks as though you werein a mess. Holiday. Nothing I
could add to that. Sure,I checked Peter was in the clear.
He hadn't been near his grandmother fromthe time he saw us until the next
(22:07):
morning. Yet someone had to takethat necklace and planted in my apartment,
and it looked like a frame upbetween Peter and his grandmother? Why frame
me? Why go through this wholeelaborate fix just to fasten a crime on
a guide had ever seen before?And I got an idea. I went
(22:27):
to the insurance company. Of course, mister Holiday, now that the necklace
has recovered, we have nothing moreto do with the case. But if
it hadn't been recovered, you'd havepaid the claim, right, certainly,
but it's not the insurance money theywere after. Missus Courtland, certainly not.
She's enormously wealthy. Yeah, butyou know, it is a little
strange, come to think of it. What's strange? Come to think of
(22:48):
what? Probably nothing, But wewere due for our routine checkup in just
two days check up of one.Well you must know we make a checkup
on insured objects every so often,and one was doing two days. Yes,
Oh, I see, I begyour pardon. Oh nothing nothing,
Well, thanks very much. Butit still didn't make sense. It still
(23:12):
came back to the necklace being foundin my apartment. Then I figured out
another angle, and my next stopwas to see miss Peggy Wright. What
do you mean? What are youtalking about? I asked a simple question,
miss Wright, and that was whenwere you in Peter planning to leave?
Leave? Leave where I gotta lot? You know what I'm talking about,
I say, you and Peter planto Elope? We didn't. We
(23:34):
never even thought of it. Allright, are you telling the truth?
Of course I am. Why shouldI lie about that? I don't know.
Look, miss Ride, are youin love with Peter? Yes,
you want to get married if itweren't for her. But if I marry
his grandmother, then you wouldn't getthe money. Oh, I don't care
about that. I I could swearshe was telling the truth. At first,
(23:57):
I thought Peter had taken the necklaceso that he and Peggy could get
away from Missus Cortland. But it'sa dead end again, and there was
that other thing bothering me? Whyframe me? Then I went back to
see Missus Cortland. I can giveyou ten minutes, mister Holiday, That's
all I want. Just a coupleof questions. Wait, if I promise
(24:18):
not to prosecute if I drop thewhole thing? Will you forget it?
Oh? Wait a minute, letme get this straight. You're willing to
forget all this? Yes? Whybecause perhaps I like you? Oh?
No, that's not it. ThenI have nothing more to see, Yes,
but I have. Why did youdecide to wear that necklace to the
opera last night? It's mine andI wear it when I please. But
(24:40):
why last night? And why wasit missing this morning? It's a little
too much of a coincidence that youwore the emeralds last night and that they
were found in my apartment this morning. Please leave, mister Holiday. And
Peter almost fell over when he sawyou with that necklace that night, And
and what this morning when you heardit was found in my apartment? You
(25:03):
almost fell over? Come on,missus Cartlin, what's going on? Do
you want money to forget a littlebit this? Oh? I don't want
money. I want the truth.And maybe even then I won't forget it.
Jessip will show you out. Jessipwill find himself on the end of
a fist if he tries it.Before I find out a few things,
I'll call the police. Go ahead, go ahead, I'll wait. Well,
(25:23):
why don't you call I have nowish to harm you, Missus Cartman,
and I what were you going tosay? Nothing? Nothing at all.
I just getting an idea, that'sall, an idea. Fantastic,
but it made sense. I linedup my facts. First, Peter's reaction
(25:47):
when he saw the necklace. Second, the insurance checkup was due just after
the necklace disappeared. Third, Peterhadn't had a chance to touch the necklace
between the time I saw it lastand when it appeared up my apartment.
Unless his grandmother were trying to frameme. That didn't make sense because there
was no reason in the world forthem to do it. So I called
it cling. Another chase around thecity, and I found a man I
(26:08):
was looking for. Okay, Ihad everything I needed, and I called
that evening at the Cartland mansion.I made sure Peter and his geminal are
there, and I took Peggy withme and in the library. Is the
last time we'll see you, misterHoliday? I don't think so, Missus
Cartland, Not after the little gamewe played. What do you mean when
(26:30):
we first started this twist, yousaid you'd do anything for Peter. What
are you getting at Holiday? Andyou, Peter, you said you'd get
me in trouble. Listen now youlisten. You planted a necklace in my
apartment. Silence after that. Butit's true you wanted to frame me.
But you, Missus Cartland, yoususpected he took the necklace, didn't you?
(26:52):
You're quite made? Oh no,the insurance check up coming. You
wanted to avoid a scandal because youthought Peter had taken the necklace. You
had a pace one, huh.I checked and found out the paste one
was the one you wore to theopera. And Peter, what that double
take you did when you saw thepaste necklace? Almost flawed you because you
thought you had the necklace. Youdidn't mean to steal it, did you,
(27:14):
Peter? NOI Holiday is right,grandmother. So you reported the missing
necklace, the paste necklace, MissusCartland, never thinking the real one would
show up. Peter, you owemister Holiday in apology. And there is
the understatement of the year, misterHoliday. I what cadn't we do?
Peggy? Yes, come here,you two, Peter, all right,
(27:40):
Peter, you wanted to protect yourgrandmother by showing me up as a crook.
Missus Cartland. You wanted to protectyour grandson anyway you could. It
seems to me a lot of energywas wasted that could be used to good
advantage. What do you mean,why don't you stop trying to run other
people's lives? Missus Cartland? ThatPeter, and how you get married?
I'm sure isn't this money? She'sout If you don't, this would make
(28:06):
juicy reading in the papers. I'mafraid you wouldn't. Oh yes, I
would very well. Okay, Peter, you wouldn't take your run along Holiday.
Ah, that's good enough. Solong and I, mister Holiday,
(28:27):
you and I are going to theclub Pierre. You very chivalrous, mister
Daniel, so you admit chivalry stilllives. Okay, let's go. I
get the electric runabout we no,no, no, let's go in your
car the runabout a little slow andto Everything's all right now, mister Holliday,
(29:12):
it sure is susy. Oh sofunny. I was just thinking he
couldn't have lost the Tate necklace,all right, all out, I'll play
straight man. Why not? Becauseit's because it would have stepped to her
neck. See. Oh, I'llgo get the mail for box thirteen.
