Hello, Vision and Friends!

I guess Mr. Walker is back from his break, since we’re back to Line Up.

This looks like the program we missed a couple of weeks back. Sounds good!

7:00 p.m. Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar
2/28/60 "The Look Before You Leap Matter" Matter #680 Bob Bailey, Virginia Gregg (Mamie Prescott), Lawrence Dobkin (Pat McCracken), Forest Lewis (Le Chat Gris), Frank Gerstle (Milford), Herb Vigran (Lt. Randy Singer), Tony Barrett (DuBissant) ; Writer/Producer/Director - Jack Johnstone ; Announcer - John Wald ; Expense Account Total = $9571 ; "I run up the biggest, fattest expense account that you ever heard of." Pat McCracken, Universal Adjustment Bureau, calls Johnny with the opportunity to solve a case that eluded him six years ago. In that case Bernard "Barney the Bum" Margoul, a strong arm for Big Mike Killian, apparently committed suicide by jumping from New York's Tri-Borough bridge. Killian will receive $300,000 insurance after midnight before March 1 if Barney the Bum isn't found. Pat says that Mamie Prescott, the original witness to the "jump" claims to have seen Barney the Bum in Paris. Pat tells Johnny he will receive $10,000 if he can bring Barney in before March 1. Johnny visits Mamie Prescott and learns that she saw Barney at the antique shop of Francois DuBissant, an underworld fence, in Paris. In the elevator of Prescott's apartment Johnny is beat up by two thugs, Milford and Jimmy, from Killian. Johnny flies to Paris. DuBissant pleads ignorance, but then sends his bodyguard, Maurice, to knock off Louis DeMarsac, AKA Le Chat Gris at his residence at Rue de la Padelamor. Johnny gets to Le Chat Gris' place in time to save him from Maurice. For a promise of $2500 Le Chat Gris produces the bound and gagged Barney from his closet. Johnny calls Randy Singer to get clearance to land the plane bringing Barney back. They arrive in New York 7 minutes after midnight and Johnny thinks all has been in vain until Randy tells him it is leap year.

In the process all three horses are killed. Matt and Chester are forced to travel with their prisoner by Overland Stage coach 60 miles to Fort Downer. It costs $9 a piece. Matt pays the $27. Beaudry recognizes one of the stage passengers claiming to be named "Zimmer" as a man wanted in California for stage hold-ups, Ches Ryan, and he alerts Matt. Matt alerts Berryman, the stage messenger, to the potential of a hold-up. Berryman says that Willow Grove would be the most likely spot for a hold-up. Near Willow Grove a wheel of the stagecoach freezes. When the stage is held up by Ryan's men, Beaudry is enlisted by the bandits. Ryan holds a gun on passenger Gant. He then faces the dilemma of securing his escape, or helping Matt and the other passengers out of a tight spot. Beaudry pulls a gun on Ryan and helps Dillon disarm him. Beaudry expects to be set free. Dillon still plans to bring Beaudry in, dead or alive. He is a marshall, not a judge. Dillon can only promise a fair trial. Beaudry, using Chester's gun, provides the trio with fresh antelope steaks on their three day trip back to Dodge. (Sus.) (CBS) (29:48)

Hey Gina, I'm happy with the Lux theater.

I've got a mesquite question for you- will post it after I get settled down.

Did you hear that, right after JD they were going into Suspense. What a time...

Agreed, so did I somewhat. The You Are There was good.

Missed that. Is that to say they are going to run Suspense in place of Johnny Dollar?

Couldn't help myself.

No, right after JD the original network told listeners to stay tuned for Suspense. What an hour of radio...a great time to be alive.

Sorry. There was a mention of various pies at the end of Line-Up, including Boysenberry pie. It reminded me of a lyric from a Simon & Garfunkle silly song on their "Bookends" album named "Punky's Dilemma".

Saw Casablanca on the big screen today. What a treat.

OK. I remember that from back in the day. I caught the last couple of years of JD/S as a kid. The last two dramas that survived until Sep 30, 1962. I recall, though, that at some point toward the end Orson Welles' "The Third Man" was substituted for Suspense for at least a few weeks, before Suspense then was resumed.

Marvelous Women's World Cup result today between USofA and Brazil ... I kinda think that goes right up close to US-CCCP Olympic hockey result in 1980.

Casablanca. Cool. TCM is bringing an outdoor symphonic screening of it to the DC area later this month. I’d love to go.

So the Suspense always followed JD?

What time did they air?

I think it must have been about the 7 or 8 o’clock hour, Sunday evening, on the station that I listened to them, WMBS in Uniontown, Pennsylvania. It was a small station near Pittsburgh. None of the Pittsburgh stations carried JD/S at that time. I just foundWMBS by playing with the radio dials. I used to pull in stations from all over the eastern US and Canada.

A few months ago I was at a resort in Phoenix. The first night we walked outside and there was this MAGNIFICENT smell in the air. It was less a smell and more like a perfume. We were told the scent was coming from the nightly bonfire they fuel with mesquite.

So this week I used some mesquite on a chicken cook and the chunks smell almost nothing like that bonfire. Any idea what this could be? Are there different varieties of mesquite?
