A car was Herbert and the girls just pulling over
to the curb, doctor Donna. Where the boys, I'd say
they're standing on the corner.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Herbert's getting out of the car.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Very well, stop the car. Oh this power away, doctors.

Speaker 5 (06:02):
You were going to fair all right, all right, we
can't argue that out here.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
I'll have to play yonder rest, young fellow.
Speaker 10 (06:07):
Just a moment, officer for you on, I saw what happened.
That young man is not to blame. The girl walked
right in front of the car. And you'd better let
me have your name, Crienston Lamon, Creston. I'm so this
man's talking through his hat.
Speaker 8 (06:18):
Be woman who was killed by a reckless primate officer.
Speaker 10 (06:21):
There's something very peculiar about this whole thing.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
I beg your pardon. Excuse me up, sir, I'm doctor Dharmouth.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
It was is it your witness to this?
Speaker 9 (06:28):
So I'm not I didn't see it, but as a citizen,
I feel that reckless driving must come to an end.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
You say you didn't see what happened, that is correct,
then you'll pardon me.
Speaker 10 (06:37):
But I hardly think you're in a position to voice
an opinion in this matter, Doctor.
Speaker 9 (06:40):
Dorn I see to you. Of course, I had a
witness for the driver exactly. Very noble of you. Very
I assure you, sir, that you and I.
Speaker 2 (06:51):

Speaker 6 (07:06):
The mort you've probably touched your dinner.

You will strangers.
Speaker 10 (07:10):
Feeling has been creeping upon me since then?
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Or come a pee accident?
Speaker 6 (07:14):
The martivoice sounds off for strange.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Yes, I I must shake this off. I must.
Speaker 7 (07:21):
Perhaps some more coffee would help them, that's the lord.
Why are you staring so here?
Speaker 2 (07:27):
That guy will meet again?
Speaker 6 (07:31):
What are you saying?
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
I sure? Oh you will.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
You drop the cup? What is the matter?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 7 (07:47):
Just some terrerible things come over him.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
No, I'm just plain, Try and calm yourself. Knows how
long I have to wait?
Speaker 7 (08:00):
Some news about mister kran Doctor Anthony, doctor Whitman with
him now? He mist pat don't understand it. He was
so well only yesterday and now I just can't believe it.
Oh he is doctor Anthony, now, mister Anthony, how is
he just a moment?
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Miss Lane? Nurse?
Speaker 8 (08:12):
Will you stay with mister Kurston? Of course, said ax Layne.
I want to talk to you doctor. How is he
no better? If anything, he is worse. That may be brutal,
miss Lane, but you should know the fact.
Speaker 6 (08:24):
Oh doctor, it sounds frightful.
Speaker 8 (08:26):
I've called in every specialist I thought might help the
completely stumped, Miss Laye. And never in our experience have
we encountered such a strange case.
Speaker 6 (08:34):
What can it be?
Speaker 4 (08:34):
We don't know.
Speaker 8 (08:36):
All the vital organs are in excellent condition, yet his
energy is rapidly ebby.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Oh, I hate to have.
Speaker 8 (08:42):
To tell you this, miss Lane, but we're afraid mister
Kurnston won't last to night.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
Oh no, oh no, that can't be possible.
Speaker 8 (08:51):
Most discouraging thing is mister Kurston's complete lack of cooperation.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
He seems to have lost the desire to rich.
Speaker 6 (08:57):
Oh, I must go to him. He must fight this
thing off, whatever it is.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
I'm along the stay. Will you put him in this
room right across the hall anyway? Huh? Now much land?
Try to arouse his interest in something.
Speaker 6 (09:12):
Yes, doctor, I would step by him. Lamont, hold la moment, mylcore.
Oh are you Lamont? How are you any better?
Speaker 2 (09:23):
I say, Bessie, whish hair.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
My head?
Speaker 10 (09:29):
Oh hadn't squeezing the.
Speaker 6 (09:32):
Mon Listen to me, please, your life is in your
own hands. You must fight Lamont's fight.
Speaker 9 (09:37):
Hair I oh, bay, I got.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
My will?
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Hell, what do you mean?
Speaker 6 (09:50):
What are you trying to tell us? Lamont?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Pad tell you.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
He will let me what's that? Who WI thank you?
Speaker 6 (10:03):
Tell obey, you've got to tell us. We want to
help you. Doctor. Would you step over here? Doctor, I
don't think I'm lad. But the man in that bed
is not Lamont Creston.
Speaker 7 (10:24):
Late, the body is Lamont Creston, all right, but the
spirit is not here.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Let me explain.
Speaker 7 (10:29):
Isn't it true that when a person suffers from a psychosis.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
They mutter of things and experiences of the past.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Yes, yes, that's quite correct.
Speaker 7 (10:38):
Well, these things mister Cranston has been saying. I've never
heard him say before. No, But doctor, I'm convinced mister
Creston is uttering the words of someone else will stronger
than his own, dominates him, dictates every word and action.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
You mean a form of hypnosis.
Speaker 6 (10:53):
Have you ever heard of telepathy hypnosis?
Speaker 8 (10:55):
Of course, the book has been published on the subject,
just recently. Fact, I have a copy in my office.
Speaker 7 (11:00):
I feel only in authority on that subject can help
mister Crinston.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
We must send for the author of that book.
Speaker 8 (11:05):
But miss Lane, the theories of hypnosis described in this
particular book have not been endorsed by the medical profession.
Speaker 7 (11:11):
It makes interesting, Anthony, we don't know what's wrong with
mister Crimston.
Speaker 6 (11:15):
Perhaps I'm clutching at a straw, but his life is
in danger. I insist that you call him that author.
Speaker 8 (11:20):
Very well, nurse, go into my office, phoneless man to
come here at once. Here, I'll write the name for you.
Doctor a Gusta Darma, Yes, nurse, what is it?
Speaker 6 (11:40):
Doctor Dormant? Here?
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (11:41):
Thank he?
Speaker 4 (11:42):
How do you do? Doctor Dahmer? Doctor Anthony? Pleasure? And
this is miss Lane, a friend of the patient.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
I'm on it, miss.
Speaker 7 (11:48):
Lane, pud have you to come doctor, I hope you
can help mister Crinston.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
I shall do everything in my power.
Speaker 7 (11:54):
I suppose you've come in contact with similar cases uh frequently,
miss Lane. Is it possible then mister Cranston's will is
dominated by another.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Quite possible.
Speaker 9 (12:03):
His very existence is in the hands of uh dweller
master mentality.
Speaker 6 (12:07):
Oh, doctor, please help him? Please?
Speaker 9 (12:10):
Yes, yes, of course, miss Lane, I'll awaken the pasion. No, doctor,
I'll awaken him, mister Cranston. Yes, open your eyes.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Oh I wait.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Why doctor, that's an amazing demonstration.
Speaker 6 (12:34):
Lemont Lamont. This is doctor Dharma. He's come to help you.
Oh bey, Oh, don't you understand why?
Speaker 7 (12:45):
Do you still like that Lamont, doctor Anthony, Doctor Donna.
That's the same expression he had on his face just
before he collapsed in the restaurant.
Speaker 9 (12:51):
Do you see he's frightened, Doctor Domad You miss lane,
Doctor Anthony, I think it best that you leave me
alone with the patient.
Speaker 8 (12:57):
Of course, Doctor Well, it's a little fool in this room.
Would you mind closing that window behind you?
Speaker 2 (13:03):
At the window window?
Speaker 9 (13:05):
Course, I I I'll take care of it now if
you please, certainly, doctor will leave it once.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
Comes slime, Doctor Donald. I place my last hope in you.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Mister Cranston, will be well taken care of.
Speaker 6 (13:17):
Thank you, Doctor.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Well Crimson, we meet again, eh.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Meet again?
Speaker 9 (13:28):
Oh yes, of course your vocal chords and I've got
forgotten you can think clearly enough, but can't express yourself. Well,
I shall lessen the pressure a bit for the moment,
so that you and I.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Can have a little Tata tete.
Speaker 9 (13:44):
You may talk, Cranston, you may talk. You murder, you
free rather a spectacular beginning for the Tata tape.
Speaker 10 (13:55):
And maybe a spectacular end to a to Doctor Talma
has a limit to your control.
Speaker 9 (14:00):
The facts dispute you, mister Cranston, you are helpless. You
can speak no louder, no longer than I choose to permit.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
You're grown rich by murder and fraud. But in some
way I'm going to put an end to you.
Speaker 9 (14:13):
And come now, Crianston, your slide recipite is over. I
return you to the condition that baffles science and destroys you.
My will is your will, my orders, your command.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Obey obey by will you will.
Speaker 8 (14:41):
Obey.
Speaker 9 (14:44):
Oh, precisely now, Criston, I leave you to your doom.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
You shall be dead by morning.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Before our second act begins.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Let me ask you a question.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Have you ever talked to an older person who said, well,
of course, things are a lot easier for you people
now than they were in my days. I guess you
can't blame older folks for being just a bit envious,
For we have so many new, improved products which make
present day living easier. The list is practically endless. Just
for example, take blue coal. Now, thousands of you homeowners
(15:26):
will agree with me that blue coal has certainly simplified living.
Its use has brought home heating comfort that wouldn't have
been thought possible a generation or so. Agot for blue
coal burns so much better requires so little furnace attention,
and it gives you safer, more dependable heating service and satisfaction.
You see, blue coal is a guaranteed product of the
(15:49):
glen Alden Coal Company, the nation's largest hard coal producers.
All their superior resources, equipment, and care in mining and
preparation combine to make blue blue coal the finest hard
coal money can buy. That's why it will pay you
to make your next fuel order a supply of blue coal.
See what a tremendous difference it makes compared to ordinary
(16:12):
at for sight, Then you'll join the thousands of regular
blue cod users who say there's no substitute for a
blue coal for perfect heat with less furnace attention.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Call your dealer tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
His name is listed in the guati Vite section of
your classified telephone directory under the words blue coal.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
Is mister Creston any better?
Speaker 4 (16:42):
Doctor Anthony, Sorry, miss Lynn, No, I'm proving well, this
is terribly It's horrible.
Speaker 6 (16:47):
Even doctor Dahma couldn't help.
Speaker 8 (16:49):
No, he said, the patient refused to cooperate. Under the circumstances,
help was impossible.
Speaker 7 (16:53):
I'm saying, mister Creston, faith and doctor Dahmer if there
was some way I could, Dr Anthony, I have a
copy of doctor Damer's book.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Yes, you might do it.
Speaker 7 (17:03):
If we show mister Cranston the book, he might realize
how important doctor Darmi is right, we can.
Speaker 8 (17:06):
Try it, Nurse. Yes, go across to my office. You'll
find doctor Dahmer's book on my desk.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Bringing him.
Speaker 6 (17:11):
Yes, doctor Anthony, the full ninety times.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
Oh thank you. Hello, Yes, sir, us to speak to
mister Cranston. But that's impossible. You well, I see all right,
have him come up. I'll talk to him. What is it?
Speaker 6 (17:29):
Doctor?
Speaker 8 (17:29):
The driver of the car that killed the girl goes
on trial tomorrow, his lawyers downstairs in the reception room.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
He thinks mister Cranston can save the boy.
Speaker 7 (17:37):
Perhaps the pride of the boy might stimulate mister Crenston's interest.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Why, yes, there is that possibility.
Speaker 6 (17:42):
Here's the book, doctor, and let me have it.
Speaker 7 (17:44):
Yes, look, Lamont, this is doctor Darmer's book. So you
see his name on the cover. He's a tremendously important man, Lamont.
Speaker 6 (17:53):
You must let him help you.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
Miss Slaine. I believe we've stuck something.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
Coming through the pages. I think we' will what's his interested.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Oh that's the lawyer he was putting off.
Speaker 8 (18:03):
Doctor, Yes, nurse, tell the gentlemen, we can't see.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Him just yet.
Speaker 6 (18:05):
Yes, he's actually reading the book.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
This is the first break in the game.
Speaker 6 (18:10):
Oh I hope, so said doctor.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
And yes, that's what is all that lawyer was.
Speaker 7 (18:15):
He's mister Cranston to establish how far the automobile was
from the girl when she stepped off the curve. He
brought us in large photographs of the scene of the
accident in the hope that mister Cranston could mark the
spot on the picture. Well, I'm afraid the look mister
Cranston's reaching out the photograph I believe.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Do you think he recognized him?
Speaker 6 (18:32):
Apparently, let me have that photo. Heyes, is Laane here?
Speaker 7 (18:36):
Lamont show us where the automobile was when the girl
stepped off the.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
curR Why he's drawing his finger over the picture.
Speaker 6 (18:44):
No, no, Lam, not there the place where the car.
Speaker 8 (18:49):
Ah, he's indicating a spot on the sidewalk. You see,
it's useless. His plain is nutfunctioning. I'm not look, miss Lane.
He's he's pointing from Dahma's name on the book cover.
Speaker 5 (18:58):
To the spot on the photograph.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
Doctor I see it now.
Speaker 7 (19:02):
He's placing Dahma at the scene of the accident. Oh, doctor,
don't you understand Lamart had met that man before.
Speaker 6 (19:09):
That's why he was agitated when Dahma came in here.
Speaker 7 (19:12):
I believe you're rightlessly, That's why he keeps repeating the
words we will meet again.
Speaker 8 (19:18):
Do you think Dama might be the influence that dominates
mister Curshill, I don't know, doctor, hookless Lyne. He's pointing
to a passage in Dahma's book.
Speaker 6 (19:25):
Now, what is it, Lamar?
Speaker 4 (19:27):
He's a passage lane.
Speaker 7 (19:29):
Should the controlling mind lose poise for even an instant
in that moment the spell is broken and the will
of the subject released. He's the controlling mind loses poison.
Speaker 8 (19:43):
And so and he's trying to tell something by the
association of ideas.
Speaker 6 (19:49):
Significance and the window head. I got it, doctor, Do
you end them?
Speaker 7 (19:54):
Wo? When you asked Doma to close that window, he
lost his poise.
Speaker 6 (19:57):
He never went near it. He didn't dare look out
of this twenty six floor windows.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
Of course, I thought this kind ut strange at the time.
Speaker 7 (20:03):
Dama is a victim of a phobia, the fear of
high places.
Speaker 6 (20:09):
That is what mister Creston is trying to.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Will we shell meet again.
Speaker 7 (20:17):
We've got to get Dama back up here. We've got
to make him lose his self control, if only for
an instant.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
It's the only way to break Dama's in florid. But
will he come and he's washed his hands of the kiss?
Speaker 7 (20:26):
I think I know a way to get him here.
Get the chairs out there on the terrace, nursy, yes,
or doctor Anthony, I think we'd better move Ri to
Cranston's bed a little.
Speaker 6 (20:43):
Closer to the edge.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Yes, hurry, miss Lyne. Dama's already on his way out.
Speaker 6 (20:46):
Where do you want this here? This l right over there,
close to the pair of the day.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
How did you manage to get Dama to come up here?
Speaker 6 (20:51):
I simply phoned and told him mister Crashon was getting well.
He literally brought the phone.
Speaker 5 (20:55):
He was so nervously.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
That must be done. Now.
Speaker 8 (20:58):
Look, I'll go to the next room and leave you,
mister Cranston alone with me. Nurse you show doctor Dahmain
and you can go. Thank you, good luck, Miss Lane.
I certainly hope this will I hope.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
So doctor hurry, hurry.
Speaker 7 (21:09):
I'm not watch him, watch Dama every second. This is
our only chance to beat her. Oh, doctor Dama, I'm
glad to see you.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
How do you do to him?
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Glad?
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Isn't this rather than wise having mister Cranston out here?
It's it's quite windy.
Speaker 6 (21:29):
At this Hister Cranston requested it, requested.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
It, mister Cranston did.
Speaker 6 (21:32):
Yes, won't you sit down? Doctor? Here's a chair right
over here.
Speaker 9 (21:35):
Yes, I from smally, miss Lane, but but I'm pressed
for time, must examine mister Cranston alone.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Do you mind plad at all?
Speaker 6 (21:41):
Doctor?
Speaker 7 (21:42):
I'll leads Layne look out ShW awkward?
Speaker 2 (21:46):
You nearly fell over the end?
Speaker 6 (21:47):
Did I frighten you?
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Come away from it?
Speaker 6 (21:50):
Sorry, I'll leave you now with your.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
K yes, I, miss Lane, Look, mister Cranston's gone. What
was that? Shod?
Speaker 1 (22:00):
The controlling mind lose poise for even an instant? Thanks
for the tip, doctor, Miss Wayne's fake stumbled at the track?
Speaker 4 (22:10):
You lost poise?
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Who are you? Your liberated subject of Crichton? I can't
see you right.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Write doctor. Nobody ever sees the shadow the shat you.
Speaker 9 (22:22):
Yes, doctor, I've heard of you the invisibles, but this
can't be.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
You accomplish this through hypnotism.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Correct, doctor, we're masters of the same art, we apply
it quite differently.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
You have hypnotized me all my life.
Speaker 9 (22:45):
I've looked forward to an encounter with a shadow. I
felt it would be the ultimate test of my hypnotic powers.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Well, here we are, doctor.
Speaker 9 (22:55):
Quite so, and you shall see who is masters what
you mean? I lost control over your will, but only
for the moment. You're a fool if you think you
can best me. I have just to touch you, and
you will again be helpless.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
If you can touch me.
Speaker 9 (23:11):
You've made one mistake, a fatal one bristake. Your selection
of an arena was thoughtless. This terrace is small. You
have to pass me to get away.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
I own you, Dama.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
This may mean your tomb. I know where you are
now there.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
If you've lost the first move you touch me, Dama,
it's useless to try. Your wisest course is to surrender
and settle with a long never time you.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Move that chair.
Speaker 8 (23:45):
You're in the corner near the wicker fence.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Now we see where you can.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Then all right, yes, mother, it was Dama.
Speaker 10 (24:01):
Fustes's balance fell twenty six stories.
Speaker 6 (24:04):
Oh oh, thank god, your safe. Oh it was so good.
Do you lying there, aware of everything, not able to
express your thoughts?
Speaker 10 (24:12):
You express them very well for me, Margot. If it
were not for you, this would be my hour of doom.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Instead of damas.
Speaker 10 (24:21):
He had an amazing mind, Margo, but like so many
brilliant minds, it was bent.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
In the wrong direction.
Speaker 10 (24:29):
Men like Dama would be a boon to mankind did
they use their talents constructively.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
We'll introduce our special guest in just a moment, but
first let's hear from Blue Coals heating experts John Barclay.
Speaker 5 (24:54):
Thank you, Ken Roberts, and good afternoon friends. Many homeowners
are under the depression that all they need do to
put coal on the furnished fire is thrown a few
shovels wove. I can assure you that that's neither the
most practical nor the most economical way to get satisfactory
heating results. First, the grates should be shaken gently until
(25:16):
you see the first red glow in the ashpit. Be
sure not to shake red, hot or unburned coals through
into the ashpit, for then you'll simply be wasting coal. Next,
pull a mound of live coals to the front of
the fire box just inside the fire door with a
shovel or a hole. Now you have a fire bed
(25:36):
sloping down toward the back of the furnace. Put fresh
coal into the hollow form by this slope, being sure
to leave a few burning coals near the door. These
live coals will act as a pilot light which will
burn off the gases which rise from the fresh coal
contact with the burning coal. Try this method of putting
coal on the fire and see if it doesn't give
(25:58):
you far more satisfactory heating results. And remember, if at
any time you have difficulty with your heating plant, get
in touch with your nearest blue coal dealer. He'll gladly
send a John Barclay serviceman to show you how to.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
Fix up the trouble.
Speaker 5 (26:14):
John Barclay service is absolutely free, so call your blue
coal dealer.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
I thank you, and now I have.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
The privilege of presenting doctor Lorne W. Barclay, National Director
of Capping Activities of the National Council of the Boy
Scouts of America. By the way, you're not related to
John Barkley, our heating expert for any chance.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
Are you not? That I know of?
Speaker 11 (26:47):
But I've heard his heating advice on this program and
found it very useful.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
Good Doctor Barclay.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
The producers of Blue Coal have asked me to congratulate
your great organization, the Boys Scouts.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
Of America on the twenty ninth out of her story
of its founding.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Through the years, the Boy Scouts have made many important
contributions to the finest American ideals, and for that we
salute you.
Speaker 11 (27:09):
Thank you, mister Roberts, and may I say that we
are grateful to the sponsors of the Shadow program. They too,
are making a valuable contribution to Americans young and old
by showing them that crime in any form does not pay.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
We appreciate having had you with us this afternoon, doctor Barclay,
and we sincerely hope you will visit us again. Today's
program is based on a story copyrighted by the Shadow Magazine.
All the characters and all the places named are fictitious.
(27:46):
Any similarity to persons living or dead is purely coincidental.
The Shadow Magazine is now on sale that your a
local news staffed of crime.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
There's bitter Fruit. Crime does not pay. The Shadow Load.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Next week, same time, same station. Blue Coal, America's finest
stand for site, will again present another thrilling adventure of
the Shadow. Be sure to listen, and be sure to
burn blue coal, the solid fuel for solid comfort.
Knows what evil looks in the hearts of men.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
The Shadow nods.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Your local blue Coal dealer presents the shadow. These half
hour dramatizations are designed to forcibly demonstrate you, old and
young alike, that crime does not pay. Before today's story begins,
an important message to all householders. When ordering fuel, remember
that there's a tremendous difference between various kinds of hard coal,
(00:43):
and remember that there's one hard coal that offers you
better heat with less furnace attention, and that's blue coal.
You'll find that blue Cold banks and burns better and
gives you absolutely the most for your money in heating
service and satisfaction. So ask for Blue Cold my name
the next time you order fuel, and be sure to
(01:03):
listen at the close of today's program, for we have
a special guest whom we wish to introduce to you.
The Shadow, mysterious character who wags those in distress and
helps the forces of law and order, is in reality,
Lamont Cranston, wealthy young man about town.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Cranston's friend and.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Companion, the lovely Margot Lane, is the only person who
knows to whom the unseen voice belongs, the only one
who knows the true identity of that master of other
people's minds, the shadow Today's story hypnotic Death.

You had about to witness an even greater demonstration of
my principle of telepathic hypnosis.
Speaker 8 (04:28):
A car was Herbert and the girls just pulling over
to the curb, doctor Donna. Where the boys, I'd say
they're standing on the corner.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Herbert's getting out of the car.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Very well, stop the car. Oh this power away, doctors.
Speaker 9 (04:40):
And distance in no way affects my powers. I must
close my eyes and concentrate. Keep me informed of the
results months and alright.

Say a girl stepped out of the car.

Yes, and now to test my theory of telepathic hypnosis, Martha, Martha, move.

Close to the curb.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
Stop Martha, wait for my orders. She's standing to get
the curb at a car coming monson?

Speaker 2 (06:01):
Course you could.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
You were going to fair all right, all right, we
can't argue that out here.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
I'll have to play yonder rest, young fellow.
Speaker 10 (06:07):
Just a moment, officer for you on, I saw what happened.
That young man is not to blame. The girl walked
right in front of the car. And you'd better let
me have your name, Crienston Lamon, Creston. I'm so this
man's talking through his hat.
Speaker 8 (06:18):
Be woman who was killed by a reckless primate officer.
Speaker 10 (06:21):
There's something very peculiar about this whole thing.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
I beg your pardon. Excuse me up, sir, I'm doctor Dharmouth.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
It was is it your witness to this?
Speaker 9 (06:28):
So I'm not I didn't see it, but as a citizen,
I feel that reckless driving must come to an end.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
You say you didn't see what happened, that is correct,
then you'll pardon me.
Speaker 10 (06:37):
But I hardly think you're in a position to voice
an opinion in this matter, Doctor.
Speaker 9 (06:40):
Dorn I see to you. Of course, I had a
witness for the driver exactly. Very noble of you. Very
I assure you, sir, that you and I.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Will meet again. Yes, I'm sure we will meet again.
Speaker 6 (07:06):
The mort you've probably touched your dinner.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
You will strangers.
Speaker 10 (07:10):
Feeling has been creeping upon me since then?
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Or come a pee accident?
Speaker 6 (07:14):
The martivoice sounds off for strange.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Yes, I I must shake this off. I must.
Speaker 7 (07:21):
Perhaps some more coffee would help them, that's the lord.
Why are you staring so here?
Speaker 2 (07:27):
That guy will meet again?
Speaker 6 (07:31):
What are you saying?
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
I sure? Oh you will.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
You drop the cup? What is the matter?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 7 (07:47):
Just some terrerible things come over him.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
No, I'm just plain, Try and calm yourself. Knows how
long I have to wait?
Speaker 7 (08:00):
Some news about mister kran Doctor Anthony, doctor Whitman with
him now? He mist pat don't understand it. He was
so well only yesterday and now I just can't believe it.
Oh he is doctor Anthony, now, mister Anthony, how is
he just a moment?
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Miss Lane? Nurse?
Speaker 8 (08:12):
Will you stay with mister Kurston? Of course, said ax Layne.
I want to talk to you doctor. How is he
no better? If anything, he is worse. That may be brutal,
miss Lane, but you should know the fact.
Speaker 6 (08:24):
Oh doctor, it sounds frightful.
Speaker 8 (08:26):
I've called in every specialist I thought might help the
completely stumped, Miss Laye. And never in our experience have
we encountered such a strange case.
Speaker 6 (08:34):
What can it be?
Speaker 4 (08:34):
We don't know.
Speaker 8 (08:36):
All the vital organs are in excellent condition, yet his
energy is rapidly ebby.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Oh, I hate to have.
Speaker 8 (08:42):
To tell you this, miss Lane, but we're afraid mister
Kurnston won't last to night.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
Oh no, oh no, that can't be possible.
Speaker 8 (08:51):
Most discouraging thing is mister Kurston's complete lack of cooperation.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
He seems to have lost the desire to rich.
Speaker 6 (08:57):
Oh, I must go to him. He must fight this
thing off, whatever it is.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
I'm along the stay. Will you put him in this
room right across the hall anyway? Huh? Now much land?
Try to arouse his interest in something.
Speaker 6 (09:12):
Yes, doctor, I would step by him. Lamont, hold la moment, mylcore.
Oh are you Lamont? How are you any better?
Speaker 2 (09:23):
I say, Bessie, whish hair.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
My head?
Speaker 10 (09:29):
Oh hadn't squeezing the.
Speaker 6 (09:32):
Mon Listen to me, please, your life is in your
own hands. You must fight Lamont's fight.
Speaker 9 (09:37):
Hair I oh, bay, I got.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
My will?
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Hell, what do you mean?
Speaker 6 (09:50):
What are you trying to tell us? Lamont?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Pad tell you.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
He will let me what's that? Who WI thank you?
Speaker 6 (10:03):
Tell obey, you've got to tell us. We want to
help you. Doctor. Would you step over here? Doctor, I
don't think I'm lad. But the man in that bed
is not Lamont Creston.
Speaker 7 (10:24):
Late, the body is Lamont Creston, all right, but the
spirit is not here.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Let me explain.
Speaker 7 (10:29):
Isn't it true that when a person suffers from a psychosis.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
They mutter of things and experiences of the past.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Yes, yes, that's quite correct.
Speaker 7 (10:38):
Well, these things mister Cranston has been saying. I've never
heard him say before. No, But doctor, I'm convinced mister
Creston is uttering the words of someone else will stronger
than his own, dominates him, dictates every word and action.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
You mean a form of hypnosis.
Speaker 6 (10:53):
Have you ever heard of telepathy hypnosis?
Speaker 8 (10:55):
Of course, the book has been published on the subject,
just recently. Fact, I have a copy in my office.
Speaker 7 (11:00):
I feel only in authority on that subject can help
mister Crinston.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
We must send for the author of that book.
Speaker 8 (11:05):
But miss Lane, the theories of hypnosis described in this
particular book have not been endorsed by the medical profession.
Speaker 7 (11:11):
It makes interesting, Anthony, we don't know what's wrong with
mister Crimston.
Speaker 6 (11:15):
Perhaps I'm clutching at a straw, but his life is
in danger. I insist that you call him that author.
Speaker 8 (11:20):
Very well, nurse, go into my office, phoneless man to
come here at once. Here, I'll write the name for you.
Doctor a Gusta Darma, Yes, nurse, what is it?
Speaker 6 (11:40):
Doctor Dormant? Here?
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (11:41):
Thank he?
Speaker 4 (11:42):
How do you do? Doctor Dahmer? Doctor Anthony? Pleasure? And
this is miss Lane, a friend of the patient.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
I'm on it, miss.
Speaker 7 (11:48):
Lane, pud have you to come doctor, I hope you
can help mister Crinston.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
I shall do everything in my power.
Speaker 7 (11:54):
I suppose you've come in contact with similar cases uh frequently,
miss Lane. Is it possible then mister Cranston's will is
dominated by another.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Quite possible.
Speaker 9 (12:03):
His very existence is in the hands of uh dweller
master mentality.
Speaker 6 (12:07):
Oh, doctor, please help him? Please?
Speaker 9 (12:10):
Yes, yes, of course, miss Lane, I'll awaken the pasion. No, doctor,
I'll awaken him, mister Cranston. Yes, open your eyes.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Oh I wait.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Why doctor, that's an amazing demonstration.
Speaker 6 (12:34):
Lemont Lamont. This is doctor Dharma. He's come to help you.
Oh bey, Oh, don't you understand why?
Speaker 7 (12:45):
Do you still like that Lamont, doctor Anthony, Doctor Donna.
That's the same expression he had on his face just
before he collapsed in the restaurant.
Speaker 9 (12:51):
Do you see he's frightened, Doctor Domad You miss lane,
Doctor Anthony, I think it best that you leave me
alone with the patient.
Speaker 8 (12:57):
Of course, Doctor Well, it's a little fool in this room.
Would you mind closing that window behind you?
Speaker 2 (13:03):
At the window window?
Speaker 9 (13:05):
Course, I I I'll take care of it now if
you please, certainly, doctor will leave it once.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
Comes slime, Doctor Donald. I place my last hope in you.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Mister Cranston, will be well taken care of.
Speaker 6 (13:17):
Thank you, Doctor.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Well Crimson, we meet again, eh.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Meet again?
Speaker 9 (13:28):
Oh yes, of course your vocal chords and I've got
forgotten you can think clearly enough, but can't express yourself. Well,
I shall lessen the pressure a bit for the moment,
so that you and I.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Can have a little Tata tete.
Speaker 9 (13:44):
You may talk, Cranston, you may talk. You murder, you
free rather a spectacular beginning for the Tata tape.
Speaker 10 (13:55):
And maybe a spectacular end to a to Doctor Talma
has a limit to your control.
Speaker 9 (14:00):
The facts dispute you, mister Cranston, you are helpless. You
can speak no louder, no longer than I choose to permit.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
You're grown rich by murder and fraud. But in some
way I'm going to put an end to you.
Speaker 9 (14:13):
And come now, Crianston, your slide recipite is over. I
return you to the condition that baffles science and destroys you.
My will is your will, my orders, your command.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Obey obey by will you will.
Speaker 8 (14:41):
Obey.
Speaker 9 (14:44):
Oh, precisely now, Criston, I leave you to your doom.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
You shall be dead by morning.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Before our second act begins.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Let me ask you a question.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Have you ever talked to an older person who said, well,
of course, things are a lot easier for you people
now than they were in my days. I guess you
can't blame older folks for being just a bit envious,
For we have so many new, improved products which make
present day living easier. The list is practically endless. Just
for example, take blue coal. Now, thousands of you homeowners
(15:26):
will agree with me that blue coal has certainly simplified living.
Its use has brought home heating comfort that wouldn't have
been thought possible a generation or so. Agot for blue
coal burns so much better requires so little furnace attention,
and it gives you safer, more dependable heating service and satisfaction.
You see, blue coal is a guaranteed product of the
(15:49):
glen Alden Coal Company, the nation's largest hard coal producers.
All their superior resources, equipment, and care in mining and
preparation combine to make blue blue coal the finest hard
coal money can buy. That's why it will pay you
to make your next fuel order a supply of blue coal.
See what a tremendous difference it makes compared to ordinary
(16:12):
at for sight, Then you'll join the thousands of regular
blue cod users who say there's no substitute for a
blue coal for perfect heat with less furnace attention.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Call your dealer tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
His name is listed in the guati Vite section of
your classified telephone directory under the words blue coal.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
Is mister Creston any better?
Speaker 4 (16:42):
Doctor Anthony, Sorry, miss Lynn, No, I'm proving well, this
is terribly It's horrible.
Speaker 6 (16:47):
Even doctor Dahma couldn't help.
Speaker 8 (16:49):
No, he said, the patient refused to cooperate. Under the circumstances,
help was impossible.
Speaker 7 (16:53):
I'm saying, mister Creston, faith and doctor Dahmer if there
was some way I could, Dr Anthony, I have a
copy of doctor Damer's book.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Yes, you might do it.
Speaker 7 (17:03):
If we show mister Cranston the book, he might realize
how important doctor Darmi is right, we can.
Speaker 8 (17:06):
Try it, Nurse. Yes, go across to my office. You'll
find doctor Dahmer's book on my desk.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Bringing him.
Speaker 6 (17:11):
Yes, doctor Anthony, the full ninety times.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
Oh thank you. Hello, Yes, sir, us to speak to
mister Cranston. But that's impossible. You well, I see all right,
have him come up. I'll talk to him. What is it?
Speaker 6 (17:29):
Doctor?
Speaker 8 (17:29):
The driver of the car that killed the girl goes
on trial tomorrow, his lawyers downstairs in the reception room.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
He thinks mister Cranston can save the boy.
Speaker 7 (17:37):
Perhaps the pride of the boy might stimulate mister Crenston's interest.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Why, yes, there is that possibility.
Speaker 6 (17:42):
Here's the book, doctor, and let me have it.
Speaker 7 (17:44):
Yes, look, Lamont, this is doctor Darmer's book. So you
see his name on the cover. He's a tremendously important man, Lamont.
Speaker 6 (17:53):
You must let him help you.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
Miss Slaine. I believe we've stuck something.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
Coming through the pages. I think we' will what's his interested.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Oh that's the lawyer he was putting off.
Speaker 8 (18:03):
Doctor, Yes, nurse, tell the gentlemen, we can't see.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Him just yet.
Speaker 6 (18:05):
Yes, he's actually reading the book.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
This is the first break in the game.
Speaker 6 (18:10):
Oh I hope, so said doctor.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
And yes, that's what is all that lawyer was.
Speaker 7 (18:15):
He's mister Cranston to establish how far the automobile was
from the girl when she stepped off the curve. He
brought us in large photographs of the scene of the
accident in the hope that mister Cranston could mark the
spot on the picture. Well, I'm afraid the look mister
Cranston's reaching out the photograph I believe.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Do you think he recognized him?
Speaker 6 (18:32):
Apparently, let me have that photo. Heyes, is Laane here?
Speaker 7 (18:36):
Lamont show us where the automobile was when the girl
stepped off the.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
curR Why he's drawing his finger over the picture.
Speaker 6 (18:44):
No, no, Lam, not there the place where the car.
Speaker 8 (18:49):
Ah, he's indicating a spot on the sidewalk. You see,
it's useless. His plain is nutfunctioning. I'm not look, miss Lane.
He's he's pointing from Dahma's name on the book cover.
Speaker 5 (18:58):
To the spot on the photograph.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
Doctor I see it now.
Speaker 7 (19:02):
He's placing Dahma at the scene of the accident. Oh, doctor,
don't you understand Lamart had met that man before.
Speaker 6 (19:09):
That's why he was agitated when Dahma came in here.
Speaker 7 (19:12):
I believe you're rightlessly, That's why he keeps repeating the
words we will meet again.
Speaker 8 (19:18):
Do you think Dama might be the influence that dominates
mister Curshill, I don't know, doctor, hookless Lyne. He's pointing
to a passage in Dahma's book.
Speaker 6 (19:25):
Now, what is it, Lamar?
Speaker 4 (19:27):
He's a passage lane.
Speaker 7 (19:29):
Should the controlling mind lose poise for even an instant
in that moment the spell is broken and the will
of the subject released. He's the controlling mind loses poison.
Speaker 8 (19:43):
And so and he's trying to tell something by the
association of ideas.
Speaker 6 (19:49):
Significance and the window head. I got it, doctor, Do
you end them?
Speaker 7 (19:54):
Wo? When you asked Doma to close that window, he
lost his poise.
Speaker 6 (19:57):
He never went near it. He didn't dare look out
of this twenty six floor windows.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
Of course, I thought this kind ut strange at the time.
Speaker 7 (20:03):
Dama is a victim of a phobia, the fear of
high places.
Speaker 6 (20:09):
That is what mister Creston is trying to.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Will we shell meet again.
Speaker 7 (20:17):
We've got to get Dama back up here. We've got
to make him lose his self control, if only for
an instant.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
It's the only way to break Dama's in florid. But
will he come and he's washed his hands of the kiss?
Speaker 7 (20:26):
I think I know a way to get him here.
Get the chairs out there on the terrace, nursy, yes,
or doctor Anthony, I think we'd better move Ri to
Cranston's bed a little.
Speaker 6 (20:43):
Closer to the edge.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Yes, hurry, miss Lyne. Dama's already on his way out.
Speaker 6 (20:46):
Where do you want this here? This l right over there,
close to the pair of the day.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
How did you manage to get Dama to come up here?
Speaker 6 (20:51):
I simply phoned and told him mister Crashon was getting well.
He literally brought the phone.
Speaker 5 (20:55):
He was so nervously.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
That must be done. Now.
Speaker 8 (20:58):
Look, I'll go to the next room and leave you,
mister Cranston alone with me. Nurse you show doctor Dahmain
and you can go. Thank you, good luck, Miss Lane.
I certainly hope this will I hope.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
So doctor hurry, hurry.
Speaker 7 (21:09):
I'm not watch him, watch Dama every second. This is
our only chance to beat her. Oh, doctor Dama, I'm
glad to see you.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
How do you do to him?
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Glad?
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Isn't this rather than wise having mister Cranston out here?
It's it's quite windy.
Speaker 6 (21:29):
At this Hister Cranston requested it, requested.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
It, mister Cranston did.
Speaker 6 (21:32):
Yes, won't you sit down? Doctor? Here's a chair right
over here.
Speaker 9 (21:35):
Yes, I from smally, miss Lane, but but I'm pressed
for time, must examine mister Cranston alone.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Do you mind plad at all?
Speaker 6 (21:41):
Doctor?
Speaker 7 (21:42):
I'll leads Layne look out ShW awkward?
Speaker 2 (21:46):
You nearly fell over the end?
Speaker 6 (21:47):
Did I frighten you?
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Come away from it?
Speaker 6 (21:50):
Sorry, I'll leave you now with your.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
K yes, I, miss Lane, Look, mister Cranston's gone. What
was that? Shod?
Speaker 1 (22:00):
The controlling mind lose poise for even an instant? Thanks
for the tip, doctor, Miss Wayne's fake stumbled at the track?
Speaker 4 (22:10):
You lost poise?
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Who are you? Your liberated subject of Crichton? I can't
see you right.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Write doctor. Nobody ever sees the shadow the shat you.
Speaker 9 (22:22):
Yes, doctor, I've heard of you the invisibles, but this
can't be.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
You accomplish this through hypnotism.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Correct, doctor, we're masters of the same art, we apply
it quite differently.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
You have hypnotized me all my life.
Speaker 9 (22:45):
I've looked forward to an encounter with a shadow. I
felt it would be the ultimate test of my hypnotic powers.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Well, here we are, doctor.
Speaker 9 (22:55):
Quite so, and you shall see who is masters what
you mean? I lost control over your will, but only
for the moment. You're a fool if you think you
can best me. I have just to touch you, and
you will again be helpless.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
If you can touch me.
Speaker 9 (23:11):
You've made one mistake, a fatal one bristake. Your selection
of an arena was thoughtless. This terrace is small. You
have to pass me to get away.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
I own you, Dama.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
This may mean your tomb. I know where you are
now there.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
If you've lost the first move you touch me, Dama,
it's useless to try. Your wisest course is to surrender
and settle with a long never time you.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Move that chair.
Speaker 8 (23:45):
You're in the corner near the wicker fence.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Now we see where you can.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Then all right, yes, mother, it was Dama.
Speaker 10 (24:01):
Fustes's balance fell twenty six stories.
Speaker 6 (24:04):
Oh oh, thank god, your safe. Oh it was so good.
Do you lying there, aware of everything, not able to
express your thoughts?
Speaker 10 (24:12):
You express them very well for me, Margot. If it
were not for you, this would be my hour of doom.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Instead of damas.
Speaker 10 (24:21):
He had an amazing mind, Margo, but like so many
brilliant minds, it was bent.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
In the wrong direction.
Speaker 10 (24:29):
Men like Dama would be a boon to mankind did
they use their talents constructively.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
We'll introduce our special guest in just a moment, but
first let's hear from Blue Coals heating experts John Barclay.
Speaker 5 (24:54):
Thank you, Ken Roberts, and good afternoon friends. Many homeowners
are under the depression that all they need do to
put coal on the furnished fire is thrown a few
shovels wove. I can assure you that that's neither the
most practical nor the most economical way to get satisfactory
heating results. First, the grates should be shaken gently until
(25:16):
you see the first red glow in the ashpit. Be
sure not to shake red, hot or unburned coals through
into the ashpit, for then you'll simply be wasting coal. Next,
pull a mound of live coals to the front of
the fire box just inside the fire door with a
shovel or a hole. Now you have a fire bed
(25:36):
sloping down toward the back of the furnace. Put fresh
coal into the hollow form by this slope, being sure
to leave a few burning coals near the door. These
live coals will act as a pilot light which will
burn off the gases which rise from the fresh coal
contact with the burning coal. Try this method of putting
coal on the fire and see if it doesn't give
(25:58):
you far more satisfactory heating results. And remember, if at
any time you have difficulty with your heating plant, get
in touch with your nearest blue coal dealer. He'll gladly
send a John Barclay serviceman to show you how to.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
Fix up the trouble.
Speaker 5 (26:14):
John Barclay service is absolutely free, so call your blue
coal dealer.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
I thank you, and now I have.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
The privilege of presenting doctor Lorne W. Barclay, National Director
of Capping Activities of the National Council of the Boy
Scouts of America. By the way, you're not related to
John Barkley, our heating expert for any chance.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
Are you not? That I know of?
Speaker 11 (26:47):
But I've heard his heating advice on this program and
found it very useful.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
Good Doctor Barclay.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
The producers of Blue Coal have asked me to congratulate
your great organization, the Boys Scouts.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
Of America on the twenty ninth out of her story
of its founding.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Through the years, the Boy Scouts have made many important
contributions to the finest American ideals, and for that we
salute you.
Speaker 11 (27:09):
Thank you, mister Roberts, and may I say that we
are grateful to the sponsors of the Shadow program. They too,
are making a valuable contribution to Americans young and old
by showing them that crime in any form does not pay.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
We appreciate having had you with us this afternoon, doctor Barclay,
and we sincerely hope you will visit us again. Today's
program is based on a story copyrighted by the Shadow Magazine.
All the characters and all the places named are fictitious.
(27:46):
Any similarity to persons living or dead is purely coincidental.
The Shadow Magazine is now on sale that your a
local news staffed of crime.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
There's bitter Fruit. Crime does not pay. The Shadow Load.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Next week, same time, same station. Blue Coal, America's finest
stand for site, will again present another thrilling adventure of
the Shadow. Be sure to listen, and be sure to
burn blue coal, the solid fuel for solid comfort.
