I thought, if only we could make some sort of
radio appeal, we might find Snookes immediately.
Speaker 7 (09:15):

could slip in the announcement with his commercial house.

Yes, let me be the first.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
To congratulate you always. You don't understand I want to
find it. Well, everybody to his taste.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
But I warn you, the older they get, the harder
they are to lose.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
That's what George Guessel told me.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
I'll tell you what I want to do anyhow, I'm
pretty good at this sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
When did you first notice that she was missing?
Speaker 6 (09:59):
Well, not for quiet A while I was busy in
my laboratory working on a new invention.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
A fuel substance. You really, Yes, it's a powdery substance.
Speaker 6 (10:07):
You simply drop it in walt and use it for
gats what's it called?
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Sala pattika?
Speaker 2 (10:18):
But seriously, why don't you take me home with you?
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Perhaps I can track her down for you. Oh no,
I wouldn't ask you.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Let's be on our way. I want to meet your family.
Well you asked for it.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Well, there they go, Wilcox.
Speaker 8 (10:41):
But I bet they'll never be able to find snugs.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Well, calm and dragon. I suppose you could maybe remember
how the pied Piper of ham And called all the
children to him with music.
Speaker 6 (10:49):
Yeah, I suppose I had tried to get snooks that way.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
Listen, all right, come out, come out they Maybe you
ought to use your musical influence on those grown ups
who are disturbed by the caffeine and the coffee they drink.
Speaker 8 (11:06):
You know what their first words are every morning, don't you?
That's right?
Speaker 3 (11:14):
They never sleep a wink.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
The caffeine in their coffee keeps them awake. Now, if
they drink Sanka coffee, they'd sing a different tune because
Sanka coffee has had ninety seven percent of the caffeine
taken out, so it can't interfere with sleep. And have
you heard how wonderful Sanka coffee tastes?
Speaker 3 (11:34):
You?
Speaker 5 (11:35):
Bet it's good, right, grant delicious roaster fresh too. You'll
never miss a wink of sleep, and you'll always enjoy
every cup you drink of Sanka coffee.

I'd like you to meet Eddie Cantre.

I'm so shud oh oh oh, what against Lancelot? How

Speaker 5 (23:59):
It's the caffeine and coffee, not the coffee itself that
drops so many people of sleep.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
How did you get in here again, Will Cocky?
Speaker 5 (24:05):
Oh, I was just passing by the kitchen window when
I heard you say sank of coffee, And at once
I said to myself, will Cox, if you're half the
man I think you are, you will go right in
there and see if mister Higgins has had any news
about snooks.
Speaker 8 (24:16):
So here I am.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
I wouldn't be the sanker.
Speaker 5 (24:20):
Say, did you ever taste a coffee that could compare
with it? And richness and freshness and body? Why a
man would be mad to pass up a cup of
sank of coffee? But don't get me wrong, if I
had to choose between snooks and sanka coffee.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
There isn't any neusive snooks.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
Wiltox snaw too bad. Well, I'll just finish up my
coffee and go. Then, I know you'd rather be alone
at a time like this, Higgins solo. Now back to
our search for baby Snooks.
Speaker 6 (24:53):
Well, we've gone through the house, mister capell Are you
sure you've told me everything?
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Higgins? Everything I know and I've spoken to everybody, your.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Family, everybody except Uncle Louie Grows.
Speaker 6 (25:02):
Where's here? We are back in the living room, Uncle Louie, get.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Out from under that sofa.
Speaker 6 (25:08):
You're all right, But if you weren't such a cheap skate,
I would not have to search for your cigars like
a sweet thief. If you'd buy your own, I wouldn't
have to hide them all the time. I choose to
take that as in himself. I've got a good mind
to pack up and leave. Oh yeah, right, that's.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Who's your bug eye companion?
Speaker 9 (25:27):

a few questions.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
I can an alibi, mister Roberts saying, and I mind, wait,
wait a minute, ant it was a nice conversation we had.

answers here.

Oh, poor little Snookes.
Speaker 7 (26:32):
I'm terribly sorry I haven't been able to help you,
mister Higgins. Of course I will make an announcement on
the radio, but I wish I could do something in
the meantime.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Oh, you couldn't do anything.
Speaker 6 (26:40):
Nothing can take the place of my little girl, not
even me.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
You.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Well, I feel I've been listening to snook so often
I could.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Use That's impossible.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Why, daddy, Oh no, not that I want to be snooked.
Speaker 6 (26:58):
How can you? You are ready?

What do you think you are?
Speaker 1 (27:11):
An elephant?
Speaker 3 (27:14):
You are not?
Speaker 2 (27:15):
When I grow up, daddy, can I be an elephant?
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Why? Of course not? Why should you want to be
an elephant so.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
I can squade water through my nose?
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Look, let me tell you something, all right, I'll sit
on your lap.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
No, you want to sit on my lap?
Speaker 6 (27:32):
Daddy?
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Why aren't you acting a little bit silly?
Speaker 6 (27:35):
Uh huh? Of course.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
It's way past my bedtime, daddy. Well what do you
want me to do about it?
Speaker 6 (27:41):
Tuck me in my little bed and put me to sleep, daddy?
Speaker 1 (27:45):

Speaker 6 (28:21):
I'm sorry enough.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Now, don't bother me.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
If I don't bother you and go to sleep?
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Can I go out and play with the girls tomorrow, daddy?
Speaker 6 (28:28):
Or what would you be doing playing with little girls?
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Who said anything about little girls?
Speaker 1 (28:33):
That's the last straw. You want to be snook safe
and you want me to treat you just like I creaper.

you want this?

What's that gotta do with it.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
It was called flaming passion.
Speaker 6 (01:36):
Snooks wouldn't be interested in seeing that?
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Oh no, no, of course not. She's already seen it
four times.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Oh, I don't know where else to look for. Did
you try the bakery shop? Bakery shop, yes, missus Shake
tells me. She often goes in there and steals.
Speaker 6 (01:51):

Speaker 5 (09:00):
Else, thank you.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
You say you have poor little girls.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Huh No, two of them are boy boys.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
In that case, you can give me some advice.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Mystic.
Speaker 6 (09:11):
I thought, if only we could make some sort of
radio appeal, we might find Snookes immediately.
Speaker 7 (09:15):
Well, I'll speak to my announcer, Harry Bonzel. Maybe he
could slip in the announcement with his commercial house.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Well, I don't know how to thank, no need glad
to do it. Now, let me take some notes on
her appearance. What does your little girl look like?
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Well, did you see meet me in Saint Louis?
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Yes, you mean she looks like Margaret O'Brien.
Speaker 6 (09:33):
No, Marjorie May.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
And now she's lost.
Speaker 6 (09:38):
Yes, let me be the first.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
To congratulate you always. You don't understand I want to
find it. Well, everybody to his taste.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
But I warn you, the older they get, the harder
they are to lose.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
That's what George Guessel told me.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
I'll tell you what I want to do anyhow, I'm
pretty good at this sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
When did you first notice that she was missing?
Speaker 6 (09:59):
Well, not for quiet A while I was busy in
my laboratory working on a new invention.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
A fuel substance. You really, Yes, it's a powdery substance.
Speaker 6 (10:07):
You simply drop it in walt and use it for
gats what's it called?
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Sala pattika?
Speaker 2 (10:18):
But seriously, why don't you take me home with you?
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Perhaps I can track her down for you. Oh no,
I wouldn't ask you.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Let's be on our way. I want to meet your family.
Well you asked for it.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Well, there they go, Wilcox.
Speaker 8 (10:41):
But I bet they'll never be able to find snugs.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Well, calm and dragon. I suppose you could maybe remember
how the pied Piper of ham And called all the
children to him with music.
Speaker 6 (10:49):
Yeah, I suppose I had tried to get snooks that way.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
Listen, all right, come out, come out they Maybe you
ought to use your musical influence on those grown ups
who are disturbed by the caffeine and the coffee they drink.
Speaker 8 (11:06):
You know what their first words are every morning, don't you?
That's right?
Speaker 3 (11:14):
They never sleep a wink.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
The caffeine in their coffee keeps them awake. Now, if
they drink Sanka coffee, they'd sing a different tune because
Sanka coffee has had ninety seven percent of the caffeine
taken out, so it can't interfere with sleep. And have
you heard how wonderful Sanka coffee tastes?
Speaker 3 (11:34):
You?
Speaker 5 (11:35):
Bet it's good, right, grant delicious roaster fresh too. You'll
never miss a wink of sleep, and you'll always enjoy
every cup you drink of Sanka coffee.
Speaker 8 (11:45):
Wimon Dragon and his orchestra with June is busting out.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
All is that you, Lancelot?
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Yes, oh, Lancelot, I haven't heard a word about Snook.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
Well, I've got someone here who might help us. Dear,
I'd like you to meet Eddie Cantre.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
How do you do?
Speaker 2 (14:12):
How are you one of Snook's little friends?
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Madam?
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Don't let my young appearance for you.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
I'm old enough to be Snook's brother, older brother, oldest soul.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
Bummy, this is Eddie Cantor.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Who oh you know him? If you knew Sudie And
I'm so shud oh oh oh, what against Lancelot? How
can you act so stupid at a time that I did.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Stupid, I've made a good look.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
Seriously, missus Higgins, Missus Higgins, I came here to be
of assistant.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
I want to do anything I can to help you
find Snooks.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Oh, I've been wracking my brain. I noticed a funny sound.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Here, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
You know you know, just before you came in, I
almost established contact with her.
Speaker 8 (15:06):
What's that?
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Oh, don't mind her ready?
Speaker 6 (15:08):
She thinks she's hyching.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Well, don't scoff. It's perfectly possible. All women have a
sort of a sixth sense.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
They do.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Did you ever try to sneak into three am after
a poker game?
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Hi?
Speaker 8 (15:20):
See what you mean?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Sure they're all equipped with radar.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
I'm just kidding, missus Higgins. You stay here and try
to contact snooks.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Mister Higgins, would you show me the place where she
was last seen?
Speaker 6 (15:32):
All right?
Speaker 1 (15:33):
It was up in the twins nursery. Come on, let's go.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Nice, nice little house you got here.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Well, it wasn't this nice when we bought it. Oh,
we've made changes in a lot of the rooms. Here's
the baby's nursery.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
Baby's nursery.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
I bet you've made a lot of changes in here.
Speaker 6 (15:52):
To her, I'd like to have a mike for everyone
older than pin on those two babies.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Me too, Me too.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
I was as fast as light thing in my baby.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
Yeah yeah, but.
Speaker 6 (16:05):
You're probably pretty pretty rusty now.
Speaker 3 (16:07):

Is the coffee that lets everybody sleep? It's got the
caffeine taken out.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
That's why you see.
Speaker 5 (23:59):
It's the caffeine and coffee, not the coffee itself that
drops so many people of sleep.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
How did you get in here again, Will Cocky?
Speaker 5 (24:05):
Oh, I was just passing by the kitchen window when
I heard you say sank of coffee, And at once
I said to myself, will Cox, if you're half the
man I think you are, you will go right in
there and see if mister Higgins has had any news
about snooks.
Speaker 8 (24:16):
So here I am.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
I wouldn't be the sanker.
Speaker 5 (24:20):
Say, did you ever taste a coffee that could compare
with it? And richness and freshness and body? Why a
man would be mad to pass up a cup of
sank of coffee? But don't get me wrong, if I
had to choose between snooks and sanka coffee.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
There isn't any neusive snooks.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
Wiltox snaw too bad. Well, I'll just finish up my
coffee and go. Then, I know you'd rather be alone
at a time like this, Higgins solo. Now back to
our search for baby Snooks.
Speaker 6 (24:53):
Well, we've gone through the house, mister capell Are you
