About tom years ago in the.

Orient, Cranston learned a strange and mysterious secret, the hypnotic

Cranston's friend and companion, the lovely Marbot Lane. He is
the only person who knows to whom the voice of
the invisible shadow belongs to days drama dead man's wife.
(02:20):
On a rise of land, overlooking the secluded valley, stands
the elegantly appointed one story manor house of Roundville, the
celebrated horse farm of wealthy George and Helen Wallen. This
late afternoon we find a tired, somewhat nervous woman talking
Lord insistently.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
While a doctor listens attentively.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
No, it isn't exactly a happy marriage. George and I
have never been in love.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
In the truth of the worst. My stepfather was wealthy.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
And ambitious socially, and he wants me to marry George
because of the well the prestige of the woman.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Who I see.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Now, suppose you tell me something about your stepfather's death.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
Please, Peter, do we have to talk about that?
Speaker 2 (03:08):
My dear, you must remember this isn't the general conversation,
but an important psychiatric treatment.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
I know you and you've been so kind impatient and helpful.
It's been wonderful having you fear for the past too.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
I want to see you doing. I want very much
to see you as well. I'll do anything you say.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
Peter.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Well, now suppose you'll tell me about your late stepfather.
You weren't exactly on friendly terms, were you.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
No, we wouldn't.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Of course, my marriage with George I I didn't like that.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
But his death did come as a terrible shock to you.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Well, not at death case, No, it it wasn't exactly
a shock.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
I see, where were you precisely at the time your
father fell from the whole was trampled to death? Why
I was Helen there? Tell both of us sure, where
were you at precisely when they so call accident and
the curve?
Speaker 5 (04:08):
I didn't hear.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
You can injure it obviously, or you and the good
doctor wouldn't still be holding hands, would you joint? Something ludicrous?
Speaker 3 (04:14):
You're drunk?
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Drinking?
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Is my vice, isn't it, Helen? And yours is psychiatry?
Or is it something more dangerous, something to do with horses?
Dar And I won't have you upsetting my patient with
your ridiculous accusation. Ridiculous doctor Helen's word is ludicrous. You
two should stick together, doctor Starr, shouldn't you. I think
we've had about enough of this. Isn't that your heart
(04:36):
waiting for you just outside the door? Yes, doctor, that's Bruno.
I'm riding in this afternoon, riding Bruno. Yes, the horse
is perfectly safe, providing no one tampers with the saddle
straps before he's mounted. But I mean the saddle straps
left unbuckle can throw a rider, and Bruno loses his
head when he sees his rider on the ground. He
trampled them like he did your stepfather.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Remember, are you going.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
To jump Bruno today?
Speaker 5 (05:02):
George?
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Jump that wild stallion? Why, he's tough enough to hold
on the flat.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
But it wasn't so long ago that you were boasting
about where a fine jumper you were going to make
it in?
Speaker 5 (05:12):
George.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Yes, he seems to have chained.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
He's become shall we say, more cautious, if that's the
word for it. You think I'm afraid to jump that horse,
I'm not afraid of any horse in the world. I'll
jump him and I'll come back and laugh on your face.
Hear here, I thought this was a sick room that's
all the excitement.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Hello, father, you're just in time.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Mistauare and George is going to jump that crazy Bruno
horse for the first time.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Jump Bruno. No, George, I won't let you.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Well, that's the horse that kill Helen's stepfather.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
I've made up my mind just.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
In case you two would like to watch the performance.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
There's an excellent view from.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
This large window. Oh, George, you can't. I forbid it him.
I'm cool, he'll kill himself.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
I don't think. To mister Warren, he's a fine horseman.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
As he goes, I must say, he seems to be
handling him. Well, yes, he's say he's.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Heating for the wall.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
He's going to jump the wall.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
No he can't, not an untrained hard George.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
No, no, very cozy.
Speaker 6 (06:13):
No, he's stumping up.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
George is dead, isn't he?
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Peter, I'm afraid so Helen.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Mister Warren rushed him into town to a doctor he knows,
and he just honed to say that George had passed
away there without regaining consciousness.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Oh I should have gone with him. I just didn't pe.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Up to it. Of course he didn't. You can't go
anywhere until you're strong. Peter. Do you think Oliver gets
calm again.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
I'm sure you will, my dear. All you need is
rest and quiet.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
Terrible to say this, I know, but it will be more.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
Well.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
People say there no how the George is gone for.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
You keep him? Yes, I think it will.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
It will be a lot more peaceful a year from
now on, doctor's doctor.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Oh, miss Hodges, the credative is ready. Doctor.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Uh, yes, thank you.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Nurse sir Helen, my dear, Miss Hodges is going to
give you something to quiet your nerves so that you
will feel better in the morning.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
That's fine. Good now I back rowse your eyes answer.
Come on, nurse, leave her alone for a while.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
He's doctor. Mister Wilde has coffee waiting in the living room.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Good.
Speaker 7 (07:40):
I could stand some coffee. Y, it's just there.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Bru, no.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
Bru, No kill from too, so I kill both of them?
Who he call me? No, No, it can't be.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
There.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Hello, Helen, No, go away, go away.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
I've come back.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Don't be afraid. You know me, Helen.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
You sent me to my death. No, first it was
your father, Helen, then it was me. But I've come
back to you see I've come back, go away, and
(09:11):
this calls for careful thinking, margol slip my proof favor Mark.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
Why not just throw in your hands admit the time
A better than your miss than you are.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Huh Cranston never gives up side, I'm going to win
this game there.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Now, let's see what you can do with the Dennis
bade jin jin jin.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
He puts me out with one hundred and twelve one
hundred and twelve to another.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
It sounds like Notre Dame versus slippery Rock teachers.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Now, maybe we ought to try some other game.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
Door bella who'd be calling us this hour?
Speaker 6 (09:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
He was part of the intrusion, but I was told
I could find mister Cranston.
Speaker 6 (09:55):
Yeah, Lucius one, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
But won't you come in sir?
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Thanks you?
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Oh this is Morgol Man the Warren and I met
at the horse Shoe last mont of Margot. His son
George will look went home with most of the top rises.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Say how is George?
Speaker 3 (10:08):
He's dead, mister Kranston.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Oh, I'm sorry, he's thrown from a horse and Tampa
terrible shocked. Yes, mister kinnisht terrible shocked. But the man
of my age learns to. But it's his wife, Helen.
I'm worried about worried you see, her father died in
precisely the same manner a short time ago.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
See.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Helen never quite got over it.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
She insists that George's ghost has appeared. She crinst and
I I need your help, my help, mister Warrick. Wouldn't
we have a psychiatrist attending it, Doctor Stark? It's at
his suggestion that I'm here now I'm heard. I don't
understand its ghost, mister Cranston. Helen swears she's seen it,
(10:55):
heard it. Doctor Stark says that the situation continued, Helen
will will dread. No one else at Brownville has seen
or her than anything. No, no one, because it's non existent.
Practically your ghosts said the same distinction. But I still don't,
Sitter Cranston, if you should tell Helen that the ghost
isn't there, it might convince her.
Speaker 6 (11:15):
Is that him?
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Yes, I see what he means, and he'll come.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Under the circumstances, I find it almost impossible to accuse.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
And I tell you, mister Cranon, I TI him. I
saw George, and it's very rude.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Misus Warren.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Is it possible it could have been someone else, someone
who really pretended to be George's.
Speaker 5 (11:41):
No, it weren't George. I'm certain i'd know his voice anywhere.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
It's sneering at me, Mister Cranston.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
I'm afraid I must ask you to go now. Missus
Warren is under a terrible sprain. Realized that Doctor Stucker.
I've just one more question, Missus Warren. You say the
ghost was accusing accusing you of what, Mister Cranston. I'm
afraid I can't allow my patient to answer that question
at this particular charge. If I'm to be of any assistance,
I must know the facts, well, Missus Warren, of what
are the ghost accusual?
Speaker 4 (12:12):
You've misty crowd it mutes me, accuse me of.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
I don't know. I don't know what he accused me.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
I think you'd better leave now, mister Cranston. We can
talk later in the library. Very well, doctor, and we
do have several things to talk about. Wouldn't you say?
Speaker 5 (12:45):
I've gotten this van misses, thank you as j Warren.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
I like them.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
I have prent.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
I'll have another cup if you don't mine. Cost Hey,
my doctor is heaven's sleeping. Yes, I've given her a Senator,
I'm afraid her interview with Cranston here is a trifle upsetting.
I'm sorry there were certain questions that were necessary. Well,
in the future, i'd appreciate your asking me all the
questions you find so necessary. I don't think that any
(13:14):
of you realizes how close Helen is to a complete
and durable breakdown.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
But she seems so much better the last few days.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Doctor.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
When I require your medical opinions, nurse, i'll let you know. Meanwhile,
I suggest that you go.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
To your patient.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Surety, Miss Hodges can drink her coffee first up.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Thank you, mister w I'll just take my coffee with me.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Really start gone through a little severe with miss Hodges. Well,
I suppose so. I didn't mean to be so irritable.
It's just that this case battles me.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
It's day. Suggest we all retire. Yes, very good idea.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
I've suddenly become quite sleepy. Strange that I should get
sleepy after two cups of coffee.
Speaker 6 (13:57):
Yes, doctor, strange, m wake up, wake up?
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Oh let me come quickly? Is that oh mon as
s drunk? Quickly? He's coming, Yes, hurry stump down.
Speaker 6 (14:35):
The hole again.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Hurry, Margo, missus Warren's room.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
He's gone, he's gone.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
The inside.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Them there on the floor, she's did.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Oh, judging from those staring eyes, she's been frightened to this.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
We'll return to the shadow in just a minute.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
A lot of Americans fought for it in the eighteenth century,
nineteenth century, and just a couple of years ago in
the Second World War, fought for it and.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Died for it.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
For what Why for the right of all American citizens
to have a voice in saying how and by whom
they shall be governed from large officers ride on up
to the president of these United States.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
That's well, you say, we're grateful.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
We wouldn't live in a land where we couldn't cast
that secret ballot. We'll keep that right for ourselves and
for our children, even if it means fighting for it again.
And so what do we do with this precious right
to vote? Well, the last time we had a presidential
election in these United States, just over half of the
eligible voters took time out to go to the polls.
What happened to the rest of us, Well, let's take
(16:11):
the case of Joe Smith. He looked at it this way.
After all, what difference does one vote make. I'm not
going to swing the whole election was my vote, but
it makes a lot of difference when you multiply that
by several million Americans who had something more important to
do on that particular day. You see, freedom carries with
it a responsibility, and if the old saying goes, you
never get something for nothing. Remember, freedom is everybody's job.
(16:47):
Margo and Lamont have come to the Warren Country home
to investigate a strange ghostlike apparition of a man on
horsemke which has just taken another life in the Warren household.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
No, no, go away, go away.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
No, it's all right, Helen, it's all over.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Yes, it's all over, doctor, except for discovering who murdered
Nurse Hudgers murdered mister Kranton. But gee, she was frightened
to death, mister Warren in the eyes of the law,
and her death directly caused by the commission of a
crime as a homicide. Ook here, Cranston, what are you suggesting,
doctor Stark? Real ghosts, there are such things. Don't usually
(17:29):
go round slipping drugs, sleep inducing drugs in the coffee pots,
trap exactly, mister Warren, so that we'd all be asleep
while the ghost came calling on missus Warren. But miss
Hodges drank coffee, yet she was awake when the ghost appears. Nurses,
coffee is still here, untouched. There's her cup right next
to doctor Stark's little box of sedatives. Wait a minute, Kranston.
(17:50):
Now you implying that I put a drug in the coffee?
Implying nothing, doctor, And as for my assumption, it's a
simple matter to find out if that coffee contains a drug.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
We'll have it analyzed at once instant.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
I should doctor the cars the nsis coffee you not
to do?
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Oh dear, how awkward?
Speaker 6 (18:06):
I mean?
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Yes, doctor, awkward is just the word I would use. Come, Margaret,
walk me down to the mailbox.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
Will you the mail box?
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (18:17):
I wrote a letter while I sat up waiting for
our ghost last night.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
I'd like to mail it.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
While we're at it, we can drop over to the stables.
My spirited brute, isn't it Margret vicious?
Speaker 1 (18:42):
You mean, easy fellow?
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Easy for give me for dropping in so unexpectedly, Bruno,
But we have a matter of murder to discuss. Easy,
steady and tell him to be careful. Steady, Bruno, steady, steady, Ayah, steady,
that's the boy you see, Just gonna look at your
(19:04):
shoe like this.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Yeah, don't hurt a bit, I hope.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
Well did you find them?
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Come in?
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Look at this?
Speaker 6 (19:16):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (19:18):
What is it's?
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Steady, boy, it's not an his shoe red clay and
it's fresh, fresh clay.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
Yes, I saw a reddish brown field from my bedroom window. Dear, Yes, no, Mark,
there's an old abandoned house, the house close to it.
I saw that from my window too.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Fine, Now we can eliminate the middle man for the
time being. Perhaps go directly to the source. I mean, Margaret,
we're close on the heels of a ghost. Come on,
I said, a look at that house you saw from
your window.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
It's a dismal looking place, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Yes's certainly no answer to the housing shortage. Come on,
let's queen, what is it?
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Marco?
Speaker 5 (20:04):
Month light? I could swear I saw a light to
that door. Take it for an instant and went out.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Month. Someone's in there, cigarette smoke.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Someone's in you all right, like yourself?
Speaker 6 (20:16):
Click? It must have been a match. Month over there.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
There's something moves steady.
Speaker 6 (20:21):
Margo Lago. See.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Oh it's just no piece of wall paper hanging from
the wall.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Oh the month it's laughing.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Someone must go open the door the mont something.
Speaker 6 (20:50):
I could swear.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
I I heard something in here.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Ha, what's this?
Speaker 2 (20:57):
The eminent psychiatrist talking to himself?
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Who's that?
Speaker 1 (21:03):
I don't see anyone.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
You can conserve your flashlight battery, doctor Stark. No one
sees the shadow, the shadow, miss Lane? Doctor?
Speaker 1 (21:12):
What did you do with her?
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Miss Lane?
Speaker 1 (21:14):
You harmed her?
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Doctor?
Speaker 1 (21:14):
You'll answer to the shadow. But I haven't seen miss Lane.
I swear Lane, what you're doing here in this house?
Speaker 6 (21:19):
Then?
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Doctor, I saw a light and I thought I did
the Stark?
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Tell me what you know of the doings at Roundville?
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Who's behind it?
Speaker 7 (21:26):
All?
Speaker 2 (21:27):
All right, I'll tell you it's window down up, doctor Stark? Doctor,
who did this? Who did it?
Speaker 6 (21:39):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (21:40):
I found his hiding place? I found her? What was
going on?
Speaker 1 (21:48):
It's it's oh.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
The letter, miss Lane? What was in that letter mailed
from Rownville? I don't know what was in the letter
Cranston mailed from Rounville.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
I insist that you tell me, and I insist that
you untiming mister Warren.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Dire, Miss Layne. Really, I'm afraid you don't appreciate the situation.
We have drama here, Miss Dane, and suspense and perhaps violence.
You're insane, No, Miss Lane, Helen's the one who's insane,
you know, Helen, He's my daughter in law.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
It's all part of the plan, you see, plan?
Speaker 2 (22:39):
What plans to warn the letter? Miss Layne? What did
Cranston have to say?
Speaker 5 (22:44):
Tell you?
Speaker 2 (22:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
You mean you've forgotten, don't you, Miss Lane? Conveniently forgotten?
That's all right. I have a way of refreshing your memory.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
What are you going to do?
Speaker 2 (22:59):
That's show you turning iron red hat and ready to
use wonderful stimulant wrahaps in minded girl. No, I'm afraid
I'll have to use it unless you decide to tell
me about the letter. But I don't know, don't have
any You heard what you said?
Speaker 1 (23:17):
One who's there?
Speaker 2 (23:19):
I'm close by you?
Speaker 6 (23:20):
Warren? Oh?
Speaker 2 (23:22):
But then I had on Warren put it?
Speaker 6 (23:25):
I say, the clever scheme, wasn't it, Warren?
Speaker 2 (23:29):
A daring plan? Who what do you mean your plan
to drive Helen insane? You were the one to put
the drug in the coffee so that everyone would sleep
through the ghost's appearance.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Everyone except Helen. Of course, you're wrong.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
First, you try to make her believe she murdered her father,
didn't you, Warren? And when I failed to drive her mad,
you hit upon this plan, didn't you? A ghostly plan
to deprive her persanity and all because you were creedy.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
That's not true.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Everyone thought the aristocratic Warren's were rich. No one but
you and your son knew that it was he who
had the money. And you knew that if Helen were
declared insane, her husband would gain legal control of her fortune.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Her husband. But he's dead.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
George is dead, dissy, ha ha ha.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Look here, I come up. You don't have to pretend
to be dead and a ghost any longer. George, how
they find you?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
You just received a little tap on my head. George.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
You'll recover, which is more than can be said for
doctor Starr lying upstairs dead with.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Her bullets in him. Shadow.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
You hurt, George, You hurt my son.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
You got a gun.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
I'll kill you. I'll kill you. I'm in your line of.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
I've killed him. Soon I'll killed him.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
And this time it's real.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
The evil suffer by their own wicked devices.
Speaker 6 (24:56):
Warren, Hmm, here.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
You are, Margo, here's a card.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
I'm sure you can't have any possible use for chin
gin chin lemon.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
There's one thing that still bothers me.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
That's your deal.
Speaker 6 (25:25):
Well what bothers you?
Speaker 5 (25:26):
The vapor, mister cloud around the goose?
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Oh I was under that from the beginning, Margo, dry
ice dry. When dry ice is misted, water vaper ies
a carbon dioxide vapor.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
Oh, well, how do you account for the fact that
neither doctor Stark nor Helen saw the supposed body of
George nor I went to the supposed doctor's office.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Well, Helen was ill with shock. Doctor Stark was at
her bedside. Oh, this is what I call a good hand.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
Thank you, my pleasure. Isn't it nice to see Helen
warring up and around and well.
Speaker 6 (25:58):
Again, that certainly is.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
It's a terrible experience.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Man.
Speaker 5 (26:03):
Why did mister Warren come to see you in the
first place.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Oh, he was afraid doctor Stark wouldn't accept the apparition.
He had to have an outside authority. He'll be a
witness to his son's ghost.
Speaker 5 (26:14):
There's just one more thing, What one more thing?
Speaker 4 (26:18):
Letter you mailed one Warren almost killed me.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
For what was Oh that well, I've been forgetting to
mail it for days. I merely mentioned it as a
means of stirring up someone's suspicious nature by I actually
did send away for something.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Yeah, giving you the six of hearts.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
Jin jin jin, what did you send away for?
Speaker 6 (26:40):
Lamar a book?
Speaker 2 (26:42):
A book?
Speaker 1 (26:43):
That book.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
It's called how to Win a Gin Rummy and returned
to the shot, all and just in the moment. In
its highest meaning, American citizenship implies respect for the dignity
(27:05):
of man man the individual. It has long been a
basic American belief that the essential good in men will
beat down the bad, but only if the individual has
afforded wide latitude in working out his own problems. There
is something extremely positive about all this. But don't let
anyone twist the thing around. Don't let anyone tell you
that in being an American you are not being something else.
(27:28):
Professional patriots invariably employ this trick. Next thing you know,
you're an anti capitalist, anti socialist, anti foreign or anti
a half a dozen things.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Free intelligent individuals.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Have no difficulty arriving at sane, satisfactory conclusions. Whether Frenchmen
or Chinese Christians or Jews, employers or workers, white or black.
Free men are strong men, and a nation of free
men is a strong nation. Now back to the Shadow.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
About tom years ago in the.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Orient, Cranston learned a strange and mysterious secret, the hypnotic
power to cloud men's minds so they cannot see him.
Cranston's friend and companion, the lovely Marbot Lane. He is
the only person who knows to whom the voice of
the invisible shadow belongs to days drama dead man's wife.
(02:20):
On a rise of land, overlooking the secluded valley, stands
the elegantly appointed one story manor house of Roundville, the
celebrated horse farm of wealthy George and Helen Wallen. This
late afternoon we find a tired, somewhat nervous woman talking
Lord insistently.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
While a doctor listens attentively.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
No, it isn't exactly a happy marriage. George and I
have never been in love.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
In the truth of the worst. My stepfather was wealthy.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
And ambitious socially, and he wants me to marry George
because of the well the prestige of the woman.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Who I see.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Now, suppose you tell me something about your stepfather's death.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
Please, Peter, do we have to talk about that?
Speaker 2 (03:08):
My dear, you must remember this isn't the general conversation,
but an important psychiatric treatment.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
I know you and you've been so kind impatient and helpful.
It's been wonderful having you fear for the past too.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
I want to see you doing. I want very much
to see you as well. I'll do anything you say.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
Peter.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Well, now suppose you'll tell me about your late stepfather.
You weren't exactly on friendly terms, were you.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
No, we wouldn't.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Of course, my marriage with George I I didn't like that.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
But his death did come as a terrible shock to you.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Well, not at death case, No, it it wasn't exactly
a shock.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
I see, where were you precisely at the time your
father fell from the whole was trampled to death? Why
I was Helen there? Tell both of us sure, where
were you at precisely when they so call accident and
the curve?
Speaker 5 (04:08):
I didn't hear.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
You can injure it obviously, or you and the good
doctor wouldn't still be holding hands, would you joint? Something ludicrous?
Speaker 3 (04:14):
You're drunk?
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Drinking?
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Is my vice, isn't it, Helen? And yours is psychiatry?
Or is it something more dangerous, something to do with horses?
Dar And I won't have you upsetting my patient with
your ridiculous accusation. Ridiculous doctor Helen's word is ludicrous. You
two should stick together, doctor Starr, shouldn't you. I think
we've had about enough of this. Isn't that your heart
(04:36):
waiting for you just outside the door? Yes, doctor, that's Bruno.
I'm riding in this afternoon, riding Bruno. Yes, the horse
is perfectly safe, providing no one tampers with the saddle
straps before he's mounted. But I mean the saddle straps
left unbuckle can throw a rider, and Bruno loses his
head when he sees his rider on the ground. He
trampled them like he did your stepfather.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Remember, are you going.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
To jump Bruno today?
Speaker 5 (05:02):
George?
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Jump that wild stallion? Why, he's tough enough to hold
on the flat.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
But it wasn't so long ago that you were boasting
about where a fine jumper you were going to make
it in?
Speaker 5 (05:12):
George.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Yes, he seems to have chained.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
He's become shall we say, more cautious, if that's the
word for it. You think I'm afraid to jump that horse,
I'm not afraid of any horse in the world. I'll
jump him and I'll come back and laugh on your face.
Hear here, I thought this was a sick room that's
all the excitement.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Hello, father, you're just in time.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Mistauare and George is going to jump that crazy Bruno
horse for the first time.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Jump Bruno. No, George, I won't let you.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Well, that's the horse that kill Helen's stepfather.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
I've made up my mind just.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
In case you two would like to watch the performance.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
There's an excellent view from.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
This large window. Oh, George, you can't. I forbid it him.
I'm cool, he'll kill himself.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
I don't think. To mister Warren, he's a fine horseman.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
As he goes, I must say, he seems to be
handling him. Well, yes, he's say he's.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Heating for the wall.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
He's going to jump the wall.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
No he can't, not an untrained hard George.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
No, no, very cozy.
Speaker 6 (06:13):
No, he's stumping up.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
George is dead, isn't he?
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Peter, I'm afraid so Helen.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Mister Warren rushed him into town to a doctor he knows,
and he just honed to say that George had passed
away there without regaining consciousness.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Oh I should have gone with him. I just didn't pe.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Up to it. Of course he didn't. You can't go
anywhere until you're strong. Peter. Do you think Oliver gets
calm again.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
I'm sure you will, my dear. All you need is
rest and quiet.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
Terrible to say this, I know, but it will be more.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
Well.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
People say there no how the George is gone for.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
You keep him? Yes, I think it will.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
It will be a lot more peaceful a year from
now on, doctor's doctor.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Oh, miss Hodges, the credative is ready. Doctor.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Uh, yes, thank you.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Nurse sir Helen, my dear, Miss Hodges is going to
give you something to quiet your nerves so that you
will feel better in the morning.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
Here you are drink it all down with his wine.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
That's fine. Good now I back rowse your eyes answer.
Come on, nurse, leave her alone for a while.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
He's doctor. Mister Wilde has coffee waiting in the living room.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Good.
Speaker 7 (07:40):
I could stand some coffee. Y, it's just there.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Bru, no.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
Bru, No kill from too, so I kill both of them?
Who he call me? No, No, it can't be.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
There.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Hello, Helen, No, go away, go away.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
I've come back.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Don't be afraid. You know me, Helen.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
You sent me to my death. No, first it was
your father, Helen, then it was me. But I've come
back to you see I've come back, go away, and
(09:11):
this calls for careful thinking, margol slip my proof favor Mark.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
Why not just throw in your hands admit the time
A better than your miss than you are.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Huh Cranston never gives up side, I'm going to win
this game there.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Now, let's see what you can do with the Dennis
bade jin jin jin.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
He puts me out with one hundred and twelve one
hundred and twelve to another.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
It sounds like Notre Dame versus slippery Rock teachers.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Now, maybe we ought to try some other game.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
Door bella who'd be calling us this hour?
Speaker 6 (09:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
He was part of the intrusion, but I was told
I could find mister Cranston.
Speaker 6 (09:55):
Yeah, Lucius one, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
But won't you come in sir?
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Thanks you?
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Oh this is Morgol Man the Warren and I met
at the horse Shoe last mont of Margot. His son
George will look went home with most of the top rises.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Say how is George?
Speaker 3 (10:08):
He's dead, mister Kranston.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Oh, I'm sorry, he's thrown from a horse and Tampa
terrible shocked. Yes, mister kinnisht terrible shocked. But the man
of my age learns to. But it's his wife, Helen.
I'm worried about worried you see, her father died in
precisely the same manner a short time ago.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
See.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Helen never quite got over it.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
She insists that George's ghost has appeared. She crinst and
I I need your help, my help, mister Warrick. Wouldn't
we have a psychiatrist attending it, Doctor Stark? It's at
his suggestion that I'm here now I'm heard. I don't
understand its ghost, mister Cranston. Helen swears she's seen it,
(10:55):
heard it. Doctor Stark says that the situation continued, Helen
will will dread. No one else at Brownville has seen
or her than anything. No, no one, because it's non existent.
Practically your ghosts said the same distinction. But I still don't,
Sitter Cranston, if you should tell Helen that the ghost
isn't there, it might convince her.
Speaker 6 (11:15):
Is that him?
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Yes, I see what he means, and he'll come.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Under the circumstances, I find it almost impossible to accuse.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
And I tell you, mister Cranon, I TI him. I
saw George, and it's very rude.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Misus Warren.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Is it possible it could have been someone else, someone
who really pretended to be George's.
Speaker 5 (11:41):
No, it weren't George. I'm certain i'd know his voice anywhere.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
It's sneering at me, Mister Cranston.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
I'm afraid I must ask you to go now. Missus
Warren is under a terrible sprain. Realized that Doctor Stucker.
I've just one more question, Missus Warren. You say the
ghost was accusing accusing you of what, Mister Cranston. I'm
afraid I can't allow my patient to answer that question
at this particular charge. If I'm to be of any assistance,
I must know the facts, well, Missus Warren, of what
are the ghost accusual?
Speaker 4 (12:12):
You've misty crowd it mutes me, accuse me of.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
I don't know. I don't know what he accused me.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
I think you'd better leave now, mister Cranston. We can
talk later in the library. Very well, doctor, and we
do have several things to talk about. Wouldn't you say?
Speaker 5 (12:45):
I've gotten this van misses, thank you as j Warren.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
I like them.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
I have prent.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
I'll have another cup if you don't mine. Cost Hey,
my doctor is heaven's sleeping. Yes, I've given her a Senator,
I'm afraid her interview with Cranston here is a trifle upsetting.
I'm sorry there were certain questions that were necessary. Well,
in the future, i'd appreciate your asking me all the
questions you find so necessary. I don't think that any
(13:14):
of you realizes how close Helen is to a complete
and durable breakdown.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
But she seems so much better the last few days.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Doctor.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
When I require your medical opinions, nurse, i'll let you know. Meanwhile,
I suggest that you go.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
To your patient.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Surety, Miss Hodges can drink her coffee first up.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Thank you, mister w I'll just take my coffee with me.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Really start gone through a little severe with miss Hodges. Well,
I suppose so. I didn't mean to be so irritable.
It's just that this case battles me.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
It's day. Suggest we all retire. Yes, very good idea.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
I've suddenly become quite sleepy. Strange that I should get
sleepy after two cups of coffee.
Speaker 6 (13:57):
Yes, doctor, strange, m wake up, wake up?
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Oh let me come quickly? Is that oh mon as
s drunk? Quickly? He's coming, Yes, hurry stump down.
Speaker 6 (14:35):
The hole again.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Hurry, Margo, missus Warren's room.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
He's gone, he's gone.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
The inside.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Them there on the floor, she's did.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Oh, judging from those staring eyes, she's been frightened to this.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
We'll return to the shadow in just a minute.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
A lot of Americans fought for it in the eighteenth century,
nineteenth century, and just a couple of years ago in
the Second World War, fought for it and.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Died for it.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
For what Why for the right of all American citizens
to have a voice in saying how and by whom
they shall be governed from large officers ride on up
to the president of these United States.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
That's well, you say, we're grateful.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
We wouldn't live in a land where we couldn't cast
that secret ballot. We'll keep that right for ourselves and
for our children, even if it means fighting for it again.
And so what do we do with this precious right
to vote? Well, the last time we had a presidential
election in these United States, just over half of the
eligible voters took time out to go to the polls.
What happened to the rest of us, Well, let's take
(16:11):
the case of Joe Smith. He looked at it this way.
After all, what difference does one vote make. I'm not
going to swing the whole election was my vote, but
it makes a lot of difference when you multiply that
by several million Americans who had something more important to
do on that particular day. You see, freedom carries with
it a responsibility, and if the old saying goes, you
never get something for nothing. Remember, freedom is everybody's job.
(16:47):
Margo and Lamont have come to the Warren Country home
to investigate a strange ghostlike apparition of a man on
horsemke which has just taken another life in the Warren household.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
No, no, go away, go away.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
No, it's all right, Helen, it's all over.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Yes, it's all over, doctor, except for discovering who murdered
Nurse Hudgers murdered mister Kranton. But gee, she was frightened
to death, mister Warren in the eyes of the law,
and her death directly caused by the commission of a
crime as a homicide. Ook here, Cranston, what are you suggesting,
doctor Stark? Real ghosts, there are such things. Don't usually
(17:29):
go round slipping drugs, sleep inducing drugs in the coffee pots,
trap exactly, mister Warren, so that we'd all be asleep
while the ghost came calling on missus Warren. But miss
Hodges drank coffee, yet she was awake when the ghost appears. Nurses,
coffee is still here, untouched. There's her cup right next
to doctor Stark's little box of sedatives. Wait a minute, Kranston.
(17:50):
Now you implying that I put a drug in the coffee?
Implying nothing, doctor, And as for my assumption, it's a
simple matter to find out if that coffee contains a drug.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
We'll have it analyzed at once instant.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
I should doctor the cars the nsis coffee you not
to do?
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Oh dear, how awkward?
Speaker 6 (18:06):
I mean?
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Yes, doctor, awkward is just the word I would use. Come, Margaret,
walk me down to the mailbox.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
Will you the mail box?
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (18:17):
I wrote a letter while I sat up waiting for
our ghost last night.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
I'd like to mail it.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
While we're at it, we can drop over to the stables.
My spirited brute, isn't it Margret vicious?
Speaker 1 (18:42):
You mean, easy fellow?
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Easy for give me for dropping in so unexpectedly, Bruno,
But we have a matter of murder to discuss. Easy,
steady and tell him to be careful. Steady, Bruno, steady, steady, Ayah, steady,
that's the boy you see, Just gonna look at your
(19:04):
shoe like this.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Yeah, don't hurt a bit, I hope.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
Well did you find them?
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Come in?
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Look at this?
Speaker 6 (19:16):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (19:18):
What is it's?
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Steady, boy, it's not an his shoe red clay and
it's fresh, fresh clay.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
Yes, I saw a reddish brown field from my bedroom window. Dear, Yes, no, Mark,
there's an old abandoned house, the house close to it.
I saw that from my window too.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Fine, Now we can eliminate the middle man for the
time being. Perhaps go directly to the source. I mean, Margaret,
we're close on the heels of a ghost. Come on,
I said, a look at that house you saw from
your window.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
It's a dismal looking place, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Yes's certainly no answer to the housing shortage. Come on,
let's queen, what is it?
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Marco?
Speaker 5 (20:04):
Month light? I could swear I saw a light to
that door. Take it for an instant and went out.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Month. Someone's in there, cigarette smoke.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Someone's in you all right, like yourself?
Speaker 6 (20:16):
Click? It must have been a match. Month over there.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
There's something moves steady.
Speaker 6 (20:21):
Margo Lago. See.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Oh it's just no piece of wall paper hanging from
the wall.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Oh the month it's laughing.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Someone must go open the door the mont something.
Speaker 6 (20:50):
I could swear.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
I I heard something in here.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Ha, what's this?
Speaker 2 (20:57):
The eminent psychiatrist talking to himself?
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Who's that?
Speaker 1 (21:03):
I don't see anyone.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
You can conserve your flashlight battery, doctor Stark. No one
sees the shadow, the shadow, miss Lane? Doctor?
Speaker 1 (21:12):
What did you do with her?
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Miss Lane?
Speaker 1 (21:14):
You harmed her?
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Doctor?
Speaker 1 (21:14):
You'll answer to the shadow. But I haven't seen miss Lane.
I swear Lane, what you're doing here in this house?
Speaker 6 (21:19):
Then?
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Doctor, I saw a light and I thought I did
the Stark?
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Tell me what you know of the doings at Roundville?
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Who's behind it?
Speaker 7 (21:26):
All?
Speaker 2 (21:27):
All right, I'll tell you it's window down up, doctor Stark? Doctor,
who did this? Who did it?
Speaker 6 (21:39):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (21:40):
I found his hiding place? I found her? What was
going on?
Speaker 1 (21:48):
It's it's oh.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
The letter, miss Lane? What was in that letter mailed
from Rownville? I don't know what was in the letter
Cranston mailed from Rounville.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
I insist that you tell me, and I insist that
you untiming mister Warren.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Dire, Miss Layne. Really, I'm afraid you don't appreciate the situation.
We have drama here, Miss Dane, and suspense and perhaps violence.
You're insane, No, Miss Lane, Helen's the one who's insane,
you know, Helen, He's my daughter in law.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
It's all part of the plan, you see, plan?
Speaker 2 (22:39):
What plans to warn the letter? Miss Layne? What did
Cranston have to say?
Speaker 5 (22:44):
Tell you?
Speaker 2 (22:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
You mean you've forgotten, don't you, Miss Lane? Conveniently forgotten?
That's all right. I have a way of refreshing your memory.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
What are you going to do?
Speaker 2 (22:59):
That's show you turning iron red hat and ready to
use wonderful stimulant wrahaps in minded girl. No, I'm afraid
I'll have to use it unless you decide to tell
me about the letter. But I don't know, don't have
any You heard what you said?
Speaker 1 (23:17):
One who's there?
Speaker 2 (23:19):
I'm close by you?
Speaker 6 (23:20):
Warren? Oh?
Speaker 2 (23:22):
But then I had on Warren put it?
Speaker 6 (23:25):
I say, the clever scheme, wasn't it, Warren?
Speaker 2 (23:29):
A daring plan? Who what do you mean your plan
to drive Helen insane? You were the one to put
the drug in the coffee so that everyone would sleep
through the ghost's appearance.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Everyone except Helen. Of course, you're wrong.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
First, you try to make her believe she murdered her father,
didn't you, Warren? And when I failed to drive her mad,
you hit upon this plan, didn't you? A ghostly plan
to deprive her persanity and all because you were creedy.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
That's not true.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Everyone thought the aristocratic Warren's were rich. No one but
you and your son knew that it was he who
had the money. And you knew that if Helen were
declared insane, her husband would gain legal control of her fortune.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Her husband. But he's dead.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
George is dead, dissy, ha ha ha.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Look here, I come up. You don't have to pretend
to be dead and a ghost any longer. George, how
they find you?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
You just received a little tap on my head. George.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
You'll recover, which is more than can be said for
doctor Starr lying upstairs dead with.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Her bullets in him. Shadow.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
You hurt, George, You hurt my son.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
You got a gun.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
I'll kill you. I'll kill you. I'm in your line of.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
I've killed him. Soon I'll killed him.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
And this time it's real.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
The evil suffer by their own wicked devices.
Speaker 6 (24:56):
Warren, Hmm, here.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
You are, Margo, here's a card.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
I'm sure you can't have any possible use for chin
gin chin lemon.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
There's one thing that still bothers me.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
That's your deal.
Speaker 6 (25:25):
Well what bothers you?
Speaker 5 (25:26):
The vapor, mister cloud around the goose?
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Oh I was under that from the beginning, Margo, dry
ice dry. When dry ice is misted, water vaper ies
a carbon dioxide vapor.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
Oh, well, how do you account for the fact that
neither doctor Stark nor Helen saw the supposed body of
George nor I went to the supposed doctor's office.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Well, Helen was ill with shock. Doctor Stark was at
her bedside. Oh, this is what I call a good hand.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
Thank you, my pleasure. Isn't it nice to see Helen
warring up and around and well.
Speaker 6 (25:58):
Again, that certainly is.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
It's a terrible experience.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Man.
Speaker 5 (26:03):
Why did mister Warren come to see you in the
first place.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Oh, he was afraid doctor Stark wouldn't accept the apparition.
He had to have an outside authority. He'll be a
witness to his son's ghost.
Speaker 5 (26:14):
There's just one more thing, What one more thing?
Speaker 4 (26:18):
Letter you mailed one Warren almost killed me.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
For what was Oh that well, I've been forgetting to
mail it for days. I merely mentioned it as a
means of stirring up someone's suspicious nature by I actually
did send away for something.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Yeah, giving you the six of hearts.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
Jin jin jin, what did you send away for?
Speaker 6 (26:40):
Lamar a book?
Speaker 2 (26:42):
A book?
Speaker 1 (26:43):
That book.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
It's called how to Win a Gin Rummy and returned
to the shot, all and just in the moment. In
its highest meaning, American citizenship implies respect for the dignity
(27:05):
of man man the individual. It has long been a
basic American belief that the essential good in men will
beat down the bad, but only if the individual has
afforded wide latitude in working out his own problems. There
is something extremely positive about all this. But don't let
anyone twist the thing around. Don't let anyone tell you
that in being an American you are not being something else.
(27:28):
Professional patriots invariably employ this trick. Next thing you know,
you're an anti capitalist, anti socialist, anti foreign or anti
a half a dozen things.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Free intelligent individuals.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Have no difficulty arriving at sane, satisfactory conclusions. Whether Frenchmen
or Chinese Christians or Jews, employers or workers, white or black.
Free men are strong men, and a nation of free
men is a strong nation. Now back to the Shadow.

Suppose you are driving along peacefully and suddenly one of
those extra loud horns is blasted at you by an
impatient driver who's in a hurry to get around you
or make you hustle up too as if get your goat. Well,
that's understandable. But let them blow their horns, let them
pass you, let them have the right of way if
need be, let them live and keep living yourself.
