Presenting Orson Wells as.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
The third band the Lives of Harry Lane, the.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Fabular stories of the immortal character originally created in the
stories a third band with Cythern music by Anton Karras.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
The police of Milan, like the police of any other
town in the world, can sometimes be mistaken. When they
got to mistaken ideas about heading to stay around for him, right,
I thought it'd be simply just to so I took
the morning train down. The gentleman had lunched and we
couldly charges. The chardie himself brought me brandy after lunch.
Complimenced the house to an old customer, and.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
We both had our backs turned.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
A fly light on the edge of the glass, and
had wandered off drunkenly along the table part. And I
took up a newspapers the neighboring table, folded it and
swatted and missed the fly.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
When I saw the ad printed at the top.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
One of the callings in the back of the paper
wanted is read wanted multi lingual publicist to promote young
lady twenty three.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
And I translated that into English and meant that they
wanted somebody who were a few languages. What I did,
and for promoting a young lady of twenty three.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Might be qualified there by information and by experience.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
So I topped off the brand. They said, so long TiO.
Later the retarde and went out.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Of the streets, out to the street cars and started
up the hill. The advertisement had given an address the
street happened to one I knew overlooking General Farm.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Melody Johnson wasn't home when I got to the address
on the hill of which is Melody Johnson. That was
the main given In the end.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
I didn't know she was a Dixie land from Bonist
or a sheet music company, but found out she was neither.
The old Italian landlady let me in and there were
photos of Melody all over the house. The landlady said
it was very sad, but Melody, though she was so beautiful,
I had to work for a living dancing at the
Genera Palace, which was where.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
She'd be after eight that night.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
And I took another look at those pictures, took pity
on Meloday and made my plans. Prostrate in the General
Palace dance floor among those dark Genoa girls waiting for
dance partners, I'd have picked out Melody Johnson even if
I hadn't seen her photos. She had hair the color
of red clover honey and blue eyes, and Asida two
(03:51):
too big accepted on her that.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
It was just right, and you want tickets to stand
when it was little room and I had ended myself.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
You run by beautifully.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
You don't do so badly yourself.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
But I had so much training.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
You say that if you had regrets.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
Regrets is a nice words record. Oh yes, my training
is very sorrow and began back home in New York.
I wanted to see the world.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
So you're joined the show a dancing troop and came
to Europe up the wind busment's just stranded here right
just the bottom.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
How it started thanks to that? Yes, thank you, But
you you're an American? Do you want to right? Are
you over here in Europe? On business?
Speaker 1 (04:29):
More? Or let's business?
Speaker 3 (04:30):
My name is Harry Lyme Dore's anything you.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Don't all right? I won't.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
It's a lime. I hope you've brought him up ticket
so we can have.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
The next day, even take if we can dance all
the way to the French fronts here.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
And then let's walk out in the guidance. You'll be
dark and we'll be alone. We can talk, can't we?
Speaker 1 (04:47):
What else could we possibly think us to do? Well?
We actually got round of business after a while. It
seems that Melody Johnson wanted to hire.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Somebody to promote her interest as a beauty queen. She
looked like a beauty queen. But as I was kissing
Melody Johnson, my sixth sense told me instinctively it Melody
was off key to give the joke to the five
cents that she was a beauty queen. All right, but
something made me think there was something more that didn't
meet the eye. So that's all this to him. He
(05:28):
wants only to sell you. It's a beauty motion pictures man,
beauty contest cabaretle.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
Yeah, carry well, there's just one thing more. The person
will have to be ready to travel.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
Very soon, very very soon. If you war well, I'll
tell you that when you've told me you'll take a job,
will you take it?
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Harry Melody? I suppose you give me a day to
think it over.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
And I was in my usual hangout in General Charges
and Exaction. I'm thinking it over and reading the papers
and the soul.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
It was very much the look of a Mitland police
officer came in. Did you know the whereabout so one
Harry Lyne? He asked for charging. As I heard of
a guy that name, I answered the charge of course him.
I went on reading the paper, listening a little higher,
and thanks, said hide my face. But I remembered what
none of the Johnson had said. The first who took
the job she offered would has to be ready to travel.
(06:27):
My fire was ready to travel very so.
Speaker 6 (06:33):
Goodbye to general Ooh that awful job in the No
not to buy to Italy, Harry, No.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Not quite. The ship stops at Naples on the.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Way Alexander, the tyrol.
Speaker 5 (06:46):
That's because of the beauty. Contact Harry.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
You want to be a mister of the user because of.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
The honor and the publicity values. And then there's a
big money prime.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Mentally, money reminds me of said.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Okay, let's just move a little further on the ship. R.
You know what you can overheal what was saying? Now,
isn't there something you.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Want to tell me? Now? It did?
Speaker 5 (07:09):
I didn't understand what you mean.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Well, uh, this is what I mean. You want somebody
to publish one you and promote your interest. Yeah, I say, natural,
But what about this, then, it seems you it's the
least bit queer. Honey. You had to work in a
taxi there to order to keep yourself away.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
Already I told you about the gambling.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
He told me you fell in love with Monticarat. All right,
since Roulette proved band via financial health, isn't it odd
that you bought both of us first class gambons on
this ship very deluxe accommodation.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
No, Harry, it's not odd at all. It is there
was nothing else available. All the other space on the
ship was sold.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
Us.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
It was a possible explanation. It was the real one, very.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Spacious up where my stateroom I was a decade high up.
We had a steward for every three or four cabins
up there.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Best service.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
I was quite an unusual fellow, my steward. I asked
him about himself.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
When we were an hour or two out of general.
He just brought me in some fresh towel. Here you
are thanks to her.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
I told him, Hey, you're not Italian.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
You don't remember asking no, So that was his story.
Then in his country's.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Embassy in Brussels and the Russians lowered the curtain on
the world at home, and since then he'd done one
job and another said his name was Pocomian Madya sen
such language Paul in English, and I said that was
what I'd call him.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Told him I probably would be a lot of trouble.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
To him, but whatever he will require, so I would
be at your status.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Well, thanks, I only mean Paul. I expected to be
out of the cabin at the time. By the way,
if I'm needed messages that so you'll probably better try
the vicinity of a passenger on the upper b deck.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
That's why I'm likely to be a young lady, Miss
Melody Johnson.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
I'm sort of employed by her. You can't get it to.
Speaker 7 (09:03):
Mentally, she's only a heap of course, head of missus
Melody Johnson.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
If you'ty Queen of Monte Carlo. That's the night light,
that's the right like you. That's wine. That's fine, two
one and carry on.
Speaker 7 (09:19):
I'm very fortunate man, No had to be employed by
her eyes and told she's a very beautiful woman.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Yes, I never seen a yourself. I have never seen her,
but she has been described to me.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
Paul Stewart was the only one took a special interest
to Meladdie Johnson but after a certain point, this is
natural malady.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
It is probably flow.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
How nice it is up here on the deck, so
nice and lonely. Just think in the morning would be amazing.
Speaker 6 (09:56):
Harry, are you listening, amaze? I'm looking at can't you
listen to? Making ten minute to ride my attention?
Speaker 5 (10:02):
Seriously, I have a.
Speaker 6 (10:04):
Confession to me. There's something I haven't told you. Well,
I didn't want to hire only a publicist to promote
my good looks.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Well, I suppose what I really wanted was sort of
a party guard.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
Oh you know, man, I tell you something.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
Ok. Well, the other night, when I learned who you were,
I was frightened a little because of your reputation. Thinks
i'd heard about Harry. L'm here and there. But now
I was alone with rife and secure and fine.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Happy. I'd be happy to do if we were alone. Well,
and they built that's housing.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Back there, uh back six eight year? Then uh build
a man's head shoulder. I'm looking around the site.
Speaker 6 (10:45):
Rebut you a man?
Speaker 1 (10:48):
You write the shore? Yeah you look all that. We
pretend to kiss one of my thinking out of my mind,
potential turn up your face were just a good plan.
Yet so far as a wonderful word. I kissed her,
and then I left her the life boats and turned
out and walked back up the deck. The man pulled
(11:10):
in like a turtle, shrinking at the angle of the housing,
screaming after the salt.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
Air, excuses that I have inclooded all yourself, as.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
The lady, I stopped it only through light my cigar.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Well that's all right, man, I don't apodize at all.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Only take a tip from me to your next time.
Don't like your cigar after it's already lit the byron
when I squire melodies the cabinet attached my home, somebody
had been there before me. The cabin had looked gone over,
and one or two small things up the place.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Had somebody found a way to break in a little Italian.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Somehow with a lit cigar, of all the stewards, you
could have let himself into any trouble.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
But what was whoever it was looking for her? What
did he want? And I checked too, my things having missing.
Wasn't until the next day when we docked in Naples,
and I began to get some idea of what it
was all about.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Stop along here, driver, this is one of the best
youth melodies. But over there, better do that?
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Driver? Drive on?
Speaker 5 (12:19):
Why are we doing well?
Speaker 4 (12:22):
We didn't stop Green Girl for the view and Alpha
Romeo right behind us has been following us.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
This whole time. We stopped to see if he'd stopped,
and he did so he's following us. Fell in the
back seat is somebody called I mean it's in quiets.
We were coming to court this morning and his name
is dianing you.
Speaker 6 (12:42):
I don't think it does well.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
He seems to take sometimes special interest in him tagging us.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Now well, Nowadi, since we couldn't manage to lose mister
Minnelli by.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Car, do it?
Speaker 5 (13:01):
I know what he wants, Harry as well?
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Wait a minute, you know what he wants? Maybe you
ought to tell me.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
I didn't know if I could trust you.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
You better trust somebody.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
I've been so scared.
Speaker 6 (13:10):
I haven't known what to do ever since I've had
him in my position, your position, I have been in
my handbag.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
No, we only get away from the Melly somehow.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
I'll tell you all about it.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
I wish you would.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
Line returns in just a moment, as the ship pulled
(14:33):
out of Naples for Alexandria that afternoon as a tea dance.
Speaker 6 (14:38):
I'm gonna tell you now, how about the pearls were
having over to start?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Why not try at the beginning?
Speaker 6 (14:43):
Sometimes the beginning, well, well, at the beginning with Monte
car I went into the casinos and.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
You had the bad luck to win.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Oh, it wasn't even math.
Speaker 6 (14:53):
I just fell in love with the hero left wheels
for not any real reasons, but it.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
Was so exciting with real girling all that money.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
He has the calls of foy as I know, I've
gotta go into myself.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
Since then, since Monte Carlo, I've gambled everywhere, Vienna.
Speaker 6 (15:07):
The New cursall in San Marino, then late times in
most places, I've met a lot of wicked people.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Yeah, I thought you might call a crooked store.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
Yes, yes, that's what it might be called.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
You see, Harry, I've got gambling fever.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Oh your luck has been so hot.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
No, no, and that's how I fell into the hands
of Vicky.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
That's the whole name.
Speaker 6 (15:28):
No, No, he has none pronounceable first name. He comes
from somewhere near Prague. I'm not sure exactly, but it's
behind the iron curtain.
Speaker 7 (15:35):
Now.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Anyway, he got away, escaped from the Russians and went
to Paris.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
And you met him in Paris and played two star pharawhisthm,
I lost your.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Best roots and a half.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
No, I didn't meet him in Paris. Yes, you've been
the valid of the countable.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
He is valid, though then it was the county man.
Speaker 6 (15:51):
Yes, he rejoined him there. Oh, the count had only
two things let his pride, the pearls of Bolivia.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
The pearls and the ancient crown of the countable us. Well,
I haven't any ideas, but they're words. But it must
be a fabulous amn.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
I can imagine now. So won't you tell me how
these pearls got passed along.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
To you in the first place. Vicky stole them.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Oh, Vicky stole the pearl Then then what did do nothing?
Speaker 5 (16:14):
For a while? I suppose he was afraid to.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Move, oh, I said, And finally Ziki did decide to
try to dispose of the pearls.
Speaker 7 (16:21):
Yes, I met Vicky and me.
Speaker 6 (16:23):
I've been losing it led him, and Vicky let me money.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
To try to recruit and then we played cards against
each other, and as you said a minute ago, I
lost my.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Hat the grim victory say shave down zik am I right,
said he'd put you in the way of a means.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Of paying him off.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
Yes, that's what he did say.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
You would dispose of the pearls. Ye, so natural and simple,
isn't it that in Egypt this is supposed to.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
Be right, there's a buyern tyld.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
Well, you know what Tiro is, A mar lets them
well as they shady side of the sun, and he's
a all right, if you're you're gonna take the pearls of.
Speaker 6 (16:58):
Amy the Cairo and sell them the money to be
paid to infantly some kind of bankments er.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
I don't really understand it.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
I think you're receiving the money chairs up your IOUs,
which is what concerned you.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
Now, the whole tawdry story that it just occurs.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
To me, Melody, that you may have a little difficulty
getting those pearls into Egypt. That's the customs.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
Oh I thought about that? Why lie awake at night
thinking about it?
Speaker 1 (17:22):
You don't have to worry at all, honey, I don't
think I know what you mean, Just that, mister Manella
at least is after those pearls, he or somebody else
may get them before we reached Egypt, and you wouldn't
have to trouble yourself though. It's well. We talked on
(17:43):
a little longer, not any tangible results.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
You didn't feel understandably, But losing the pearls to Manella
was the right solution.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
To the problem.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
But I want you to be sure of getting them
past the Egyptian customs and on the Cairo and trying
to question on several ways, but didn't seem to be
a mega. And we left the subject and our drinks
and went out on the dance floor, and I took
her in my arm and that sid was all right.
While we were dancing, a man came in THENSANSI shit's
loud step the minute stood.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Looking around, Melody. You didn't get a look at him
up on the deck last night. I leave and got
a good look at him during a chase in Naples today.
Would look, now, there he is.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
That's Manella, that man canny in door, the very one.
Speaker 7 (18:29):
M what is it?
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Hey? Even a face like yours won't stand that kind
of plowing while they're frown.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
That man's name is Mandelli.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
You know him.
Speaker 6 (18:41):
I've never met that man, but I remember his appearance.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
He was pointed out to me a year or so ago.
Oh yeah, somewhere on the Riviera. N you call the
name that was ta Yeah, his name is Victoria enchanted Victoria.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Wait a minute, not him myself. But there was an
international jewelry in shanty Vittoria. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
That's what I was doing when Amanda and the door
was pointed.
Speaker 7 (19:08):
Out to me.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
In enty Vittoria saw Melady in the interned on his
heel and disappeared. I left Melody and alone, but supplied
myself to he to her camp, and he told me
it's a chenty Vittorium. I think of having a lot
for the purl there. While Melody itself was lost in
the wonders of Harry lying in the war.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
The door was locked, and.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
I don't think Melody is stayed room. Just as she
left it, there was a man inside.
Speaker 5 (19:40):
What's her?
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Oh it's you start putting lady's dainties back and I
was wardrobe growers and into him.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Oh yes, yes, yes, that is just what I am doing.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
You don't, Paul, And maybe two or three things wrong
with this picture? Shall I enumerate them for you in order? Okay,
this isn't your deck, this is b deck. And if
it wasn't b deck. This isn't your lack of state
rooms anyhow.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
The pearls of Bohemia and I know drawers, So.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
You're wasting your time, old man. I understand Si I
must apologize, but he would have to apologize to the lady.
That to me. But maybe you old men apologize Or
was it you went through my cabin last night?

Speaker 1 (20:17):
Yes I did. Working to Perlecrawer, Yes, that is what
I was. Do you know paulist could get you into
bad color with your employers. Here on the ship, Joe,
who wants to be light fingers, passed his property.
Speaker 7 (20:29):
The pearls of Bohemia were stolen.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
From from their owner by and then man named Zick.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
The owner did not wish to have the foreign police
arrest a federal countrymen at his but he had Dicky
privately watched. Zicky passed on the pearls to Miss Johnson,
and the owner was very much surprised to discover himself
to Miss Johnson was sailing for Egypt on this ship. You, honor,
supposed that she was going there to dispose of the.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Pearl I say, come out of my cabin. I would
drink shallow man. I could not do if would not
be proper in this do it, I must decline and
deprive me the chance of telling my grandchildren. I want
to set a drink with the counter of Bohemia on
cap'n drink together. Count fuck this whole thing. We made
(21:18):
good time, Alexandria Melody is still worried.
Speaker 6 (21:21):
Harry, Yes, honey, what about these pearls? What am I
going to do?
Speaker 1 (21:26):
You're not gonna do anything, honey, just given to me.
I know a tricker to smuggling department. Mind if I
take this stool here, besides you, the.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
Use of the buys the three to all, there isn't
any need for us to be to polite to each other.
Mister Manei or should I say viatoia? My business with
you is business. See I interest you. I am releasing me.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
That's all you got to do.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
Well, mand Listen that one thing and one thing more
is paying two thousand Egyptians. Believe I'm getting a cheap
price and any opportunity here on shipboard to find out.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
The real value of the pros the Bohemia.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Besides, I want a quick payoff and get out of
town kind of deal. So you are offering to send
me the pair who are remarkably as students. Man, and
I'm glad to see you come up to your reputation,
he ask. That's for how to happen here?
Speaker 1 (22:23):
I see, But ask.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
Yourself before you wonder if you were to not be
able to head and steal them from me, if you've
been changed the Vitoria known Julie for tourist taking them
through the customs, And I'm sure I take them to
the customs and deliver them to you intact in Alexandria
for the small price of two thousands Egypts in town.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Done.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Okay, a bargain I thought it would be.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Are you any.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Egyptian customs?
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Well, my dragon man has got my bags, but you'll
find nothing beautyful in them. I have these pearls, though, yes,
say sixteen or twenty oh not much. A few of
your Egyptians fiastes, exceed yourself. They're not real.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Imitation carryline returns in just a moment.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
And now, harry Lin, those pearls were imitation, but pretty convincing,
convincing enough anyhow to deceive.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
An expert like being changey Victoria.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
He's an honest man of his particular sword and promptly
paid me for two thousand Egyptian pounds a night, turned
the pearls over to him a sidewalk cafe in Alexandria.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
The pearls ought to have been convincing, of course, because
they were made for a very special use. When this
is asked to build some such lady in agost the
Opera a couple of hundred carrots of diamonds on her fingers,
they're very likely to be paste perfect duplicates, fine imitations,
and the real diamonds they locked up at Homer in
the bank.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
That's what fellas I can change to the thory of
done to the world the upper classes and the world
of Boemian Council is about the same.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
So it happened that Count Paul of Bohemia had any
Stewart's locker, the imitation set that matched the real posa.
You and I got the real pros from Melody. Well,
I just traded. Melody had said.
Speaker 6 (25:20):
You.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
Remember, the Count Paul had only two things left, his
pride and his polls.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
He kept his pride might just as well have the
pearls too. All of this left me someone out an
obligation to Melody.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
I know quite a few people in Cairo, so I
may have had something to do with her being voted
Miss Pyramids of Geezer. The prize money got her out
of debt to that fellow Zekei anyhow. Then there was
the dough I got from Victoria for the Phony Pearls melody,
and I had a lot of fund spetting those two
thousand Egyptian crowns. But that, as the fella says, is
another story, so long now. And remember all that grizzs
(25:55):
is not gold, but it ain't hay either.
Speaker 6 (26:03):
Satan sect and provelopment staple and n
Presenting Orson Wells as.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
The third band the Lives of Harry Lane, the.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Fabular stories of the immortal character originally created in the
stories a third band with Cythern music by Anton Karras.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
The police of Milan, like the police of any other
town in the world, can sometimes be mistaken. When they
got to mistaken ideas about heading to stay around for him, right,
I thought it'd be simply just to so I took
the morning train down. The gentleman had lunched and we
couldly charges. The chardie himself brought me brandy after lunch.
Complimenced the house to an old customer, and.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
We both had our backs turned.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
A fly light on the edge of the glass, and
had wandered off drunkenly along the table part. And I
took up a newspapers the neighboring table, folded it and
swatted and missed the fly.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
When I saw the ad printed at the top.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
One of the callings in the back of the paper
wanted is read wanted multi lingual publicist to promote young
lady twenty three.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
And I translated that into English and meant that they
wanted somebody who were a few languages. What I did,
and for promoting a young lady of twenty three.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Might be qualified there by information and by experience.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
So I topped off the brand. They said, so long TiO.
Later the retarde and went out.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Of the streets, out to the street cars and started
up the hill. The advertisement had given an address the
street happened to one I knew overlooking General Farm.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Melody Johnson wasn't home when I got to the address
on the hill of which is Melody Johnson. That was
the main given In the end.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
I didn't know she was a Dixie land from Bonist
or a sheet music company, but found out she was neither.
The old Italian landlady let me in and there were
photos of Melody all over the house. The landlady said
it was very sad, but Melody, though she was so beautiful,
I had to work for a living dancing at the
Genera Palace, which was where.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
She'd be after eight that night.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
And I took another look at those pictures, took pity
on Meloday and made my plans. Prostrate in the General
Palace dance floor among those dark Genoa girls waiting for
dance partners, I'd have picked out Melody Johnson even if
I hadn't seen her photos. She had hair the color
of red clover honey and blue eyes, and Asida two
(03:51):
too big accepted on her that.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
It was just right, and you want tickets to stand
when it was little room and I had ended myself.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
You run by beautifully.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
You don't do so badly yourself.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
But I had so much training.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
You say that if you had regrets.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
Regrets is a nice words record. Oh yes, my training
is very sorrow and began back home in New York.
I wanted to see the world.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
So you're joined the show a dancing troop and came
to Europe up the wind busment's just stranded here right
just the bottom.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
How it started thanks to that? Yes, thank you, But
you you're an American? Do you want to right? Are
you over here in Europe? On business?
Speaker 1 (04:29):
More? Or let's business?
Speaker 3 (04:30):
My name is Harry Lyme Dore's anything you.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Don't all right? I won't.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
It's a lime. I hope you've brought him up ticket
so we can have.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
The next day, even take if we can dance all
the way to the French fronts here.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
And then let's walk out in the guidance. You'll be
dark and we'll be alone. We can talk, can't we?
Speaker 1 (04:47):
What else could we possibly think us to do? Well?
We actually got round of business after a while. It
seems that Melody Johnson wanted to hire.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Somebody to promote her interest as a beauty queen. She
looked like a beauty queen. But as I was kissing
Melody Johnson, my sixth sense told me instinctively it Melody
was off key to give the joke to the five
cents that she was a beauty queen. All right, but
something made me think there was something more that didn't
meet the eye. So that's all this to him. He
(05:28):
wants only to sell you. It's a beauty motion pictures man,
beauty contest cabaretle.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
Yeah, carry well, there's just one thing more. The person
will have to be ready to travel.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
Very soon, very very soon. If you war well, I'll
tell you that when you've told me you'll take a job,
will you take it?
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Harry Melody? I suppose you give me a day to
think it over.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
And I was in my usual hangout in General Charges
and Exaction. I'm thinking it over and reading the papers
and the soul.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
It was very much the look of a Mitland police
officer came in. Did you know the whereabout so one
Harry Lyne? He asked for charging. As I heard of
a guy that name, I answered the charge of course him.
I went on reading the paper, listening a little higher,
and thanks, said hide my face. But I remembered what
none of the Johnson had said. The first who took
the job she offered would has to be ready to travel.
(06:27):
My fire was ready to travel very so.
Speaker 6 (06:33):
Goodbye to general Ooh that awful job in the No
not to buy to Italy, Harry, No.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Not quite. The ship stops at Naples on the.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Way Alexander, the tyrol.
Speaker 5 (06:46):
That's because of the beauty. Contact Harry.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
You want to be a mister of the user because of.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
The honor and the publicity values. And then there's a
big money prime.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Mentally, money reminds me of said.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Okay, let's just move a little further on the ship. R.
You know what you can overheal what was saying? Now,
isn't there something you.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Want to tell me? Now? It did?
Speaker 5 (07:09):
I didn't understand what you mean.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Well, uh, this is what I mean. You want somebody
to publish one you and promote your interest. Yeah, I say, natural,
But what about this, then, it seems you it's the
least bit queer. Honey. You had to work in a
taxi there to order to keep yourself away.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
Already I told you about the gambling.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
He told me you fell in love with Monticarat. All right,
since Roulette proved band via financial health, isn't it odd
that you bought both of us first class gambons on
this ship very deluxe accommodation.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
No, Harry, it's not odd at all. It is there
was nothing else available. All the other space on the
ship was sold.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
Us.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
It was a possible explanation. It was the real one, very.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Spacious up where my stateroom I was a decade high up.
We had a steward for every three or four cabins
up there.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Best service.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
I was quite an unusual fellow, my steward. I asked
him about himself.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
When we were an hour or two out of general.
He just brought me in some fresh towel. Here you
are thanks to her.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
I told him, Hey, you're not Italian.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
You don't remember asking no, So that was his story.
Then in his country's.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Embassy in Brussels and the Russians lowered the curtain on
the world at home, and since then he'd done one
job and another said his name was Pocomian Madya sen
such language Paul in English, and I said that was
what I'd call him.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Told him I probably would be a lot of trouble.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
To him, but whatever he will require, so I would
be at your status.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Well, thanks, I only mean Paul. I expected to be
out of the cabin at the time. By the way,
if I'm needed messages that so you'll probably better try
the vicinity of a passenger on the upper b deck.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
That's why I'm likely to be a young lady, Miss
Melody Johnson.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
I'm sort of employed by her. You can't get it to.
Speaker 7 (09:03):
Mentally, she's only a heap of course, head of missus
Melody Johnson.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
If you'ty Queen of Monte Carlo. That's the night light,
that's the right like you. That's wine. That's fine, two
one and carry on.
Speaker 7 (09:19):
I'm very fortunate man, No had to be employed by
her eyes and told she's a very beautiful woman.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Yes, I never seen a yourself. I have never seen her,
but she has been described to me.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
Paul Stewart was the only one took a special interest
to Meladdie Johnson but after a certain point, this is
natural malady.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
It is probably flow.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
How nice it is up here on the deck, so
nice and lonely. Just think in the morning would be amazing.
Speaker 6 (09:56):
Harry, are you listening, amaze? I'm looking at can't you
listen to? Making ten minute to ride my attention?
Speaker 5 (10:02):
Seriously, I have a.
Speaker 6 (10:04):
Confession to me. There's something I haven't told you. Well,
I didn't want to hire only a publicist to promote
my good looks.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Well, I suppose what I really wanted was sort of
a party guard.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
Oh you know, man, I tell you something.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
Ok. Well, the other night, when I learned who you were,
I was frightened a little because of your reputation. Thinks
i'd heard about Harry. L'm here and there. But now
I was alone with rife and secure and fine.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Happy. I'd be happy to do if we were alone. Well,
and they built that's housing.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Back there, uh back six eight year? Then uh build
a man's head shoulder. I'm looking around the site.
Speaker 6 (10:45):
Rebut you a man?
Speaker 1 (10:48):
You write the shore? Yeah you look all that. We
pretend to kiss one of my thinking out of my mind,
potential turn up your face were just a good plan.
Yet so far as a wonderful word. I kissed her,
and then I left her the life boats and turned
out and walked back up the deck. The man pulled
(11:10):
in like a turtle, shrinking at the angle of the housing,
screaming after the salt.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
Air, excuses that I have inclooded all yourself, as.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
The lady, I stopped it only through light my cigar.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Well that's all right, man, I don't apodize at all.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Only take a tip from me to your next time.
Don't like your cigar after it's already lit the byron
when I squire melodies the cabinet attached my home, somebody
had been there before me. The cabin had looked gone over,
and one or two small things up the place.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Had somebody found a way to break in a little Italian.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Somehow with a lit cigar, of all the stewards, you
could have let himself into any trouble.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
But what was whoever it was looking for her? What
did he want? And I checked too, my things having missing.
Wasn't until the next day when we docked in Naples,
and I began to get some idea of what it
was all about.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Stop along here, driver, this is one of the best
youth melodies. But over there, better do that?
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Driver? Drive on?
Speaker 5 (12:19):
Why are we doing well?
Speaker 4 (12:22):
We didn't stop Green Girl for the view and Alpha
Romeo right behind us has been following us.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
This whole time. We stopped to see if he'd stopped,
and he did so he's following us. Fell in the
back seat is somebody called I mean it's in quiets.
We were coming to court this morning and his name
is dianing you.
Speaker 6 (12:42):
I don't think it does well.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
He seems to take sometimes special interest in him tagging us.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Now well, Nowadi, since we couldn't manage to lose mister
Minnelli by.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Car, do it?
Speaker 5 (13:01):
I know what he wants, Harry as well?
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Wait a minute, you know what he wants? Maybe you
ought to tell me.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
I didn't know if I could trust you.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
You better trust somebody.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
I've been so scared.
Speaker 6 (13:10):
I haven't known what to do ever since I've had
him in my position, your position, I have been in
my handbag.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
No, we only get away from the Melly somehow.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
I'll tell you all about it.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
I wish you would.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
Line returns in just a moment, as the ship pulled
(14:33):
out of Naples for Alexandria that afternoon as a tea dance.
Speaker 6 (14:38):
I'm gonna tell you now, how about the pearls were
having over to start?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Why not try at the beginning?
Speaker 6 (14:43):
Sometimes the beginning, well, well, at the beginning with Monte
car I went into the casinos and.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
You had the bad luck to win.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Oh, it wasn't even math.
Speaker 6 (14:53):
I just fell in love with the hero left wheels
for not any real reasons, but it.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
Was so exciting with real girling all that money.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
He has the calls of foy as I know, I've
gotta go into myself.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
Since then, since Monte Carlo, I've gambled everywhere, Vienna.
Speaker 6 (15:07):
The New cursall in San Marino, then late times in
most places, I've met a lot of wicked people.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Yeah, I thought you might call a crooked store.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
Yes, yes, that's what it might be called.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
You see, Harry, I've got gambling fever.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Oh your luck has been so hot.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
No, no, and that's how I fell into the hands
of Vicky.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
That's the whole name.
Speaker 6 (15:28):
No, No, he has none pronounceable first name. He comes
from somewhere near Prague. I'm not sure exactly, but it's
behind the iron curtain.
Speaker 7 (15:35):
Now.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Anyway, he got away, escaped from the Russians and went
to Paris.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
And you met him in Paris and played two star pharawhisthm,
I lost your.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Best roots and a half.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
No, I didn't meet him in Paris. Yes, you've been
the valid of the countable.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
He is valid, though then it was the county man.
Speaker 6 (15:51):
Yes, he rejoined him there. Oh, the count had only
two things let his pride, the pearls of Bolivia.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
The pearls and the ancient crown of the countable us. Well,
I haven't any ideas, but they're words. But it must
be a fabulous amn.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
I can imagine now. So won't you tell me how
these pearls got passed along.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
To you in the first place. Vicky stole them.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Oh, Vicky stole the pearl Then then what did do nothing?
Speaker 5 (16:14):
For a while? I suppose he was afraid to.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Move, oh, I said, And finally Ziki did decide to
try to dispose of the pearls.
Speaker 7 (16:21):
Yes, I met Vicky and me.
Speaker 6 (16:23):
I've been losing it led him, and Vicky let me money.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
To try to recruit and then we played cards against
each other, and as you said a minute ago, I
lost my.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Hat the grim victory say shave down zik am I right,
said he'd put you in the way of a means.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Of paying him off.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
Yes, that's what he did say.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
You would dispose of the pearls. Ye, so natural and simple,
isn't it that in Egypt this is supposed to.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
Be right, there's a buyern tyld.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
Well, you know what Tiro is, A mar lets them
well as they shady side of the sun, and he's
a all right, if you're you're gonna take the pearls of.
Speaker 6 (16:58):
Amy the Cairo and sell them the money to be
paid to infantly some kind of bankments er.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
I don't really understand it.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
I think you're receiving the money chairs up your IOUs,
which is what concerned you.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
Now, the whole tawdry story that it just occurs.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
To me, Melody, that you may have a little difficulty
getting those pearls into Egypt. That's the customs.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
Oh I thought about that? Why lie awake at night
thinking about it?
Speaker 1 (17:22):
You don't have to worry at all, honey, I don't
think I know what you mean, Just that, mister Manella
at least is after those pearls, he or somebody else
may get them before we reached Egypt, and you wouldn't
have to trouble yourself though. It's well. We talked on
(17:43):
a little longer, not any tangible results.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
You didn't feel understandably, But losing the pearls to Manella
was the right solution.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
To the problem.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
But I want you to be sure of getting them
past the Egyptian customs and on the Cairo and trying
to question on several ways, but didn't seem to be
a mega. And we left the subject and our drinks
and went out on the dance floor, and I took
her in my arm and that sid was all right.
While we were dancing, a man came in THENSANSI shit's
loud step the minute stood.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Looking around, Melody. You didn't get a look at him
up on the deck last night. I leave and got
a good look at him during a chase in Naples today.
Would look, now, there he is.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
That's Manella, that man canny in door, the very one.
Speaker 7 (18:29):
M what is it?
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Hey? Even a face like yours won't stand that kind
of plowing while they're frown.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
That man's name is Mandelli.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
You know him.
Speaker 6 (18:41):
I've never met that man, but I remember his appearance.

He was pointed out to me a year or so ago.
Oh yeah, somewhere on the Riviera. N you call the
name that was ta Yeah, his name is Victoria enchanted Victoria.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Wait a minute, not him myself. But there was an
international jewelry in shanty Vittoria. I don't know.

In enty Vittoria saw Melady in the interned on his
heel and disappeared. I left Melody and alone, but supplied
myself to he to her camp, and he told me
it's a chenty Vittorium. I think of having a lot
for the purl there. While Melody itself was lost in
the wonders of Harry lying in the war.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
The door was locked, and.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
I don't think Melody is stayed room. Just as she
left it, there was a man inside.

find nothing beautyful in them. I have these pearls, though, yes,
say sixteen or twenty oh not much. A few of
your Egyptians fiastes, exceed yourself. They're not real.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Imitation carryline returns in just a moment.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
And now, harry Lin, those pearls were imitation, but pretty convincing,
convincing enough anyhow to deceive.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
An expert like being changey Victoria.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
He's an honest man of his particular sword and promptly
paid me for two thousand Egyptian pounds a night, turned
the pearls over to him a sidewalk cafe in Alexandria.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
The pearls ought to have been convincing, of course, because
they were made for a very special use. When this
is asked to build some such lady in agost the
Opera a couple of hundred carrots of diamonds on her fingers,
they're very likely to be paste perfect duplicates, fine imitations,
and the real diamonds they locked up at Homer in
the bank.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
That's what fellas I can change to the thory of
done to the world the upper classes and the world
of Boemian Council is about the same.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
So it happened that Count Paul of Bohemia had any
Stewart's locker, the imitation set that matched the real posa.
You and I got the real pros from Melody. Well,
I just traded. Melody had said.
Speaker 6 (25:20):
You.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
Remember, the Count Paul had only two things left, his
pride and his polls.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
He kept his pride might just as well have the
pearls too. All of this left me someone out an
obligation to Melody.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
I know quite a few people in Cairo, so I
may have had something to do with her being voted
Miss Pyramids of Geezer. The prize money got her out
of debt to that fellow Zekei anyhow. Then there was
the dough I got from Victoria for the Phony Pearls melody,
and I had a lot of fund spetting those two
thousand Egyptian crowns. But that, as the fella says, is
another story, so long now. And remember all that grizzs
(25:55):
is not gold, but it ain't hay either.
