Welcome to the Great Detectives of OldTime Radio from Boise, Idaho. This
is your host, Adam Graham.If you have a comment, email it
to me Box thirteen at Great Detectivesdot net, and I encourage you to
follow us on Twitter at Radio Detectives. Well, before we get started,

(00:48):
I want to let you know today'sprograms brought to you by the financial support
of our listeners, and I speciallywant to thank Gary so much for his
support. Will send access to thepremium side, which we will do with
all the nations of seven dollars ormore. Now it's time to talk a
little bit about today's show, whichis certainly unusual. This comes from the

(01:15):
comedy Theater of the Air. Itwas hosted by Harold Lloyd. Lloyd was
a comedian whose career began during theSilent Era, and he went on to
produce many films through his own productioncompany, and his name associated with the
theater really did help it to bea success. Over its forty weeks on

(01:41):
the air from nineteen forty four tonineteen forty five, each episode adapted a
Hollywood comedy, and that's the casewith today's episode having Wonderful Crime, having
A Wonderful Crime was actually the titleof a nineteen forty four novel by Craig

(02:02):
Rice starring John J. Malone thatwas then adapted to a screwball comedy slash
mystery. To be honest, I'dlistened to this program before we did the
Malone episodes for this series, butI did not make the connection even though

(02:22):
the main character was named Malone.The story had a very different flavor from
the amazing Mister Malone episodes, andit actually correlates a little bit better to
the books. When I read theMalone books, it was shocking the difference
between the radio show. Lieutenant Brookswas not there the police represented by a

(02:47):
guy named von Flanagan in the actualCraig Rice Malone books. In an edition.
In the books, Malone had acouple of supporting characters, Comrades and
arms more usually though drinking buddies namedJack and Helene, and they of course
were completely absent from the radio program. And I only through reading the books

(03:15):
and then checking through the filmography ofCraig Rice, the author of the John
and ge Alone books, did Inotice this particular story having a wonderful crime.
So we're gonna give you a littlebit of a sample of what the
books were like. So with thatsaid, let's go ahead and take a

(03:37):
listen to this episode from June third, nineteen forty five, Having a Wonderful
Crime or Having a Wonderful Crime fromHollywood, California. The makers of Old

(04:05):
Gold Cigarettes present the Comedy Theater,the only radio program that brings you every
week the greatest stars and the greatestcomedies to night's comedy, the radio version
of Marqueo's picture Success Having Wonderful Crimestarring Paddle Brian with June the Prey and

mister Harold Layers. Good evening,ladies and gentlemen. Tonight we have chosen

(05:16):
show. When chicoll this famous criminalattorney Michael Jay Malone, together with Jake
and Helene had solved the Wellington murdercase, Malone said, this is the
last time those two screwball friends andmine will get me to play detective,
and I mean the last time.And when going down by Jake and myself,
Malone is solved in a Taurus Riccardocase and again not smart as the

(05:36):
police, he said, Oh,I should have known better, allowing myself
to be sucked in by those twohalf ways again. But this is the
last time, and I mean thelast time. Then, when Malone learned
that Helene had faced the murder inthe Huntington case and needed his assistance,
he shouted, no, no,no, no, no, no,

All in the same boat both boomboom, Oh yeah, um, pardon
me. I gotta see your nameabout a canoe us bills by someone Malone?

(25:32):
Oh hell, mister Winslow. Itgoes on. Earlier this evening,
Missus Justice mentioned the Huntington case.No no, no, she said,
my hunting case and so I dida little smoothing on my own. I
already found about it. I learnedthe police are looking for you in the
Huntington murder case. Well, misterWinslow, I also did little smoothing.
I learned that Fred King alias theGreat Marvel, who supposedly checked out of

(25:56):
the lodge, never checked in.Now how to explain there? I think
we understand each other, mister Malone, I'm sure we do. Mister Wenlow,
I've got a deal for you thatpays off in real money. I'm
interested. It pays all to thetune of twelve thousand, five hundred dollars.
Well that's some money, pretty too. It's a deal. Look,

(26:17):
I'm no cop. What's the story? Now? You probably already know that
Lenhart Lodge and all the property hereis owned by the two old Maidle and
Haut sisters. Elizabeth, the oldersister, invited Mobel here for one night
and gave him the check for fiftythousand dollars for his performance, fifty thousand
bucks. When I had to bea lawyer, Well, Myra, the

(26:37):
other sister, asked me to getthe check back I offered, and offered
me twenty five thousands if I couldyou see I handled a great deal of
their business. Hell and brother,how are you handling? I have approached
Mobel said, the old girl wassimple minded. Offered to make a settlement,
but he wouldn't bargained with me.So, oh, you're not the

(27:00):
law. Yeah, backstage at thetheater, any stuff in there? It
was a trunk, yeah, AndI had the trunk shipped up here to
the hot lodge. I planned todrop it off in the lake, but
you beat me to it. Unintentionally, mister Winslow, believe me, unintentionally.
You see, when I registered withoutluggers, the porter figured the m
on mobile's trunk must have stood fromAlan, so he sent it up to

(27:21):
my room. You mean you didn'ttell the porters, but it was your
trunk and doll. No, Ididn't have the vegat idea. There was
a clowns with what was in untilit brought up to my room. I
thought you were in on it fromthe beginning of the law, because I
always prefer being in on deal tothe end. They off still goes.
And then as the Winslow twelve thousand, five hundred blocks for sure, Sure,
I'll give you the doll. It'shere. In my insight out yet

(27:45):
it myself went long and learn mewhile I relieve you that automatic in your
inside pocket? Thanks, don't choot, don't cho blow? What are you
doing up there? We had agrandstand seat in this canoe rack. We
heard wins. I was looking foryou, so we slipped in without paying
admission of what's the canoe? Slippingoff the rad jayad alone? I'm wanting

(28:18):
this, m alone. I'm thenew nurse. How's the heads? Well,
I wouldn't know beautiful until they heldmy hand holds normal. Don't mind
my pulse, honey, how aboutmy eyes? Did you see the morning
papers? How about my heart?It says prominent criminal attorney salves murderments.
Okay, my heart says no thepaper. Do you like that I'm a
celebrity. Isn't it thrilling? Youknow? Three weeks ago we had a

(28:41):
tailor who pressed franks antress pan saythat's wonderful. No, he was in
them. I'll see who that isis? The young lady. I'm to
you, young ladies sent her in. He's with a gentleman, good mob.

(29:06):
Justice mister missus, mister missus justice, no no, no, no,
no, go up I'm going rightthrough that window. It is now

(29:33):
well so close in the story ofHaving Wonderful Crime Right now, Pat O'Brien,
June Duprey and Tom Conway are thanksto you for a most enjoyable half
hour. Thank you, Harol,and do what everybody pleasure certainly was who's
on the old Girl Ross? Andthen well, we're very happy to welcome
next week June Alison with Reginald Gardner, Don DeFore and Bill Williams in the

(29:56):
RCAO production Tom Dick and I'll listeningso alive me too. Hey, good
night folks. Until next Sunday seeevent. Having a Wonderful Crime was presented
through the courtesy of our KAO producersof Enchanted Cottage. That O'Brien's next picture

(30:18):
is r kao's The Amorous Ghost.Tom Conway will soon be seen in the

old gold. Its tobaccos are conditionedwith apple honey to help guard against cigarette
dryness and to give you more smokingpleasures. This is fab william saying good

(30:42):
night, old goal, this isan actually broadcasting company, welcome back.
Well, Pat O'Brien would not bemy choice to play John Malone, and

(31:04):
the no No, No thing wasa bit overdone. In addition, the
lack of mystery, or the minimizationof mystery in this story is notable.
But this is one of the bigchallenges you face when you take a movie
of about an hour and a halflong and you have to condense it into

(31:25):
a thirty minute radio program. Well, we turn now to listener comment and
feedback. Indianna emails in thank youfor all the work you put in the
show. Being able to listen toold shows while I'm working makes the days
go faster. I was thinking thatthe Amazing Mister or Malone should be renamed

(31:48):
the Guesswork of mister Malone. Justabout every show he accuses every one of
the crime and, through the processof elimination, arise at the guilty party.
Not very amazing. Well, it'samazing that he hasn't been sued for
slander or some other offense. Butshe goes on to say, thinks again,

(32:13):
Adam, and keep up the goodwork. Well, I think that's
definitely a point some of these programs. While they're all old time radio detectives,
they're all very different and we Ithink people listen to and enjoy them
for different reasons. I don't thinkwith the amazing mister Malone, one of

(32:36):
those reasons is the high quality ofmysteries. All right, Well, we
do have a listener voicemail, solet's go ahead and take a listen to
that. I listened to the GreatDetectives radio show. Hey, I just
wanted to see he got the goodwork. So yes, well, thanks

(33:00):
