We tell you this frankly, so if you wish to avoid the excitement and tension of these imaginative plays, we urge you calmly but sincerely to turn off your radio now. This is Arch-Obler. For Ironized East, tonight a story of that still small voice which civilized men call conscience. But first, Frank Martin, the way you feel that can make all the difference in your life.

3:11glorious pet and energy and needed pounds, so today they can really enjoy living again. Folks, did you get that name? It's Ironized East tablets. And now, bites out if everybody. Keep moving along, keep moving along ladies and gentlemen, keep moving, when there are no lights on here, keep moving. Officer, what's going on in the oil? What's the blue moon here, Tracks? Read the signs, my man, read the signs. Oh, the great Peter Strinsky world famous explorer appearing in person in lecture on Adunters of the Amazon. Go, Blower. Now move along fellow, move along. Officer, will you tell a bloat what that Adunton is referring to? Who's on to name? Now look here, your obstructing traffic. Its lecturing the man is lecturing on these Eden tribes that aren't their neighbor's

4:13AIDS. Now move along man, move along or I'll take you in. Ladies and gentlemen, now you know the story of these strange motion pictures I have shown you this evening. But in the first time in history, motion pictures taken of the Lord, Brazilian region. Someday soon I hope to return to Brazil and bring back more cinematic records of the customs of these almost legendary savages, including actual specimens of heads and bodies taken and preserved in their bloodthirsty wards. When that day comes, I hope you will be as kind to me as you have been this evening. And so, good night until we meet again. Excellent lectures, Trinsky. Excellent. Yes, it went very well indeed, complete sellout. That headhunting theme meant excellent publicity in all the papers you know. Yes, yes, of course. Now if you pardon me, my wife, oh, but my dear Trinsky, autographed. They paid to listen to my lecturing and see my motion pictures not to get my autographed. I'm sorry, my wife, she will be waiting and I-

5:15Oh, come, come, don't worry about her. She is well taken care of. Eh? What are you talking about? I just passed her backstage and she had a handsome young gentleman having quite a tape of tape, don't you know? You will pardon me. Come now, Ellen, you must do it. Oh, but John, that's ridiculous. We've heard it so just silly things. I did, and that's why I'm telling it to you. Well, I won't listen to another word. I really won't. Oh, yes, you will. No, I won't. If I might disobey the stuinter up, I'll Peter it's you. I'm sorry to interrupt your most interesting conversation, my dear wife, but we must go. But Peter, we- Come, I said. The automobile is waiting. But I- Very well, Peter. Good night, John. Good night, Ellen. Come. Get into the car, Ellen. Why don't you say something, Peter?

6:16Yes. Yes, I will say something. This. Well, why don't you speak? Why don't you cry? I-I wouldn't give you the satisfaction. So you save your tears for him, too? Oh. Say something. I'm leaving you, Peter. Leaving me? What are you talking about? I spoke clearly enough. I'm leaving you. Don't be a fool. I'm trying not to be. That's why I'm leaving you. I should have done it a long time ago. You'll go to him. No, I'm going to divorce you first, Peter. Divorce? What happened? A difficulty about that. I'm sure. No. Never a divorce for me. Never. You have no choice. Please stop the car. Yes. Good night, Ellen. I'm sorry for you, Peter.

7:16No. I'm sorry for you and him. Well, come in, Ellen. Come in and you too, young man. What do you want of us, Peter? It was very kind of you to come here and join me tonight. You said it was important, Stringsky. What is it? Oh, have a chair. Sit down. That is no hurry. Well, down and down. We're on a way to the theatre. If you don't mind, Peter, tell us what you want. I want little. We have come to what the novelist would call the parting of the ways. As civilized human beings, we sit down. I, the husband, you, the wife, and you, young man, the... Shall I say, favour, one?

8:16To discuss our welfare. I'm sorry it worked out this way, Peter. This life, perhaps the fault was largely mine. I was not a very good husband. You're acting very decently about all this, Mr. Stringsky. All I can say is I love Ellen very much. And you love him, Ellen? Yes, Peter. If we could arrange matters quickly, I mean the divorce and all that sort of thing. Of course, I just said we are together like civilized human beings. And now, if you'll excuse me, I will close the door to the servants, you know. He's acting surprisingly well about it all, Ellen. I'm not so sure. Oh, now what I have to say, I say, in complete privacy. Peter, just why did you want John and me here? Yes, we should come to the point. You and I, Ellen, I suppose there is no use talking about us anymore. Is there? No. So, all right, there will be a gentleman. I will withdraw as gracefully as my clumsy self will permit.

9:18First, then we will sign the papers. Paper? I want you to wave to our rights. Oh, just as you wish. Excellent. So here is the legal form drawn up by my solicitor. I assure you it's quite an order. You will sign first, young Matthew. Yes. Yes, yes, is a witness, you understand? No, very well, my pen. No, no, no, use this one, please. Here. Oh, oh, I'm sorry. What's John, what's the matter? Nothing, just a scratch, the pen point. I'm so clumsy. John, oh, it's nothing, really. See the pen point hardly broke the skin. Yes, but it did break the skin. Oh, yes, John. You see a drop of blood. It's nothing at all, just a scratch. Unimportant. How did you laugh like that, Peter? He said, unimportant. And yet it is the most important scratch your young man has ever known. How's that? What do you mean, Peter? What, what's wrong? You feel something, John? A constriction between the eyes, perhaps, or maybe a strange pounding of the heart? Peter, Peter, what's the matter? Or perhaps John, your vision blows. You hear strange sounds in your ears. A great lover. Peter, answer me. What have you done? John, are you all right?

10:18Tell me, are you all right? I don't know. My head is so strange. John wanted to sit down. Peter, what's wrong with him? That's wrong. John, John, what do you hear? Your lips... You cannot speak, can you, John? If you open your mouth, the words will be your last. A great lover. Peter, tell me. Tell me if you've done something to him. Have you? John, look at me, darling. Speak to me. Tell me what's the matter? John. Yes, speak, John. Eleanor. John! Peter helped me. He's fallen. Peter helped me. Help me. Well, John, look at him. Look at him. He's ill. He's dying. A doctor, get a doctor. Not a doctor, my little wife. Doctors cannot restore even great lovers after the poison of baracata has entered the veins. Herthen! That pen! That scratch! Helen, you... So, the thought of your lover's death draws the blood from your head and your faint, aim a little wife? When you awaken, you will wish that you died with him.

11:24Ah! You are awake again. Ah! You are bound in a chair. This most discurtheous of me I know, but there's a reason that you're not awake. You're not awake again. You're not awake again. You're not awake again. You're not awake again. You are bound in a chair. This most discurtheous of me I know, but then as you may remember, I always was about that. John... John! You will keep your voice down. John... You've got to tell me... where is he? Why am I down here? John's not dead. He can't be dead. He... He's on the table under the sheet. Not John.

12:25Yes, John. John... You've killed him. Let me lose. Let me go to him. John... Stop making me look nice. You mad woman. Stop it. Stop it, I say. All right, I'll stop you then. Stop you. All right. My little wife's cream. Yeah, the rave all you want. This gag over your mouth serves its purpose well. John... Go on, you amuse me. John... John... John... So... Now you have discovered that it is useless to talk to the gag, Ellen. There's such a waste of effort, is it, Mark? So now that you are silent, I can go on with my work. Most important work. She was right about what was on this table here. See, I throw off the sheet. And he was such a handsome man.

13:27Well, I must get to work. You no longer try to speak, Madam's Ellen. Those decide to these beautiful surgical instruments frighten you. They need not. They're not for you. They are for John. Yeah, he is there. There, the poison too quickly. But do you think I would let him rest in death? Oh no. I loved you, Ellen. And as I loved you, I hate you. Watch closely. All right. I'm sorry, I cannot understand you. I... I can't understand you. Oh, you ask me what I'm going to do. The knife, sharp knives, you see them? No, they are not to dismember your precious John. Flash buried the case and his gun. I want your dear John with me for a long time.

14:33Again, you ask a question. I'm trying so hard to explain. He's dead and he will be dead. He will serve a purpose. You remember I told you my savage Brazilian friends, the Yavaros, have a quint custom of shrinking and preserving the bodies of their enemies. When I studied their methods most carefully, John Douglas was my enemy. Here he lies. And I will do with him as the Yavaros do with their enemies. So, now you understand. And I'm through with him your love will be a little leathery skinned man, a doll I can size a trophy for my trophy room. Who will suspect that in that little leathery doll like figure is the body of an Englishman? And so he will amuse me and his death. Yes, and you will sit there my little wife. You will sit in that chair for the many days that will take me to prepare the carcass. You will sit and watch me death the day is with smoke and with heat I make the strong body of your lover. Smarter and smarter. You will sit there.

15:36Ladies and gentlemen, a deep breath. Please before we go on with this story of a jealous husband and the strange and terrible revenge he took against his wife and the man she loved. Yes, before we go on with tonight's lights out story, a moment for relaxation and a return to the realities of today. The place is a shipyard and a worker is saying, I quit my desk job because I wanted to help build ships to win the war, but I'm afraid I can't keep on. I'm losing weight. It's a restless, I lay awake most of last night again. It feels a tad out so often when I know I shouldn't. I hardly know what to do. Do? Why find the cause of your trouble? And if it's a deficiency of vitamin B1 and iron, get ironized yeast tablets. Vitamin B1 and iron? Ironized yeast tablets? I don't understand. You see, you're working harder now, so naturally you need more strength and energy. But when you don't get enough vitamin B1 from your food, you may lose your appetite. Not eat all you need, and so lose weight and strength. And without enough iron, you may be weak and pale and too often feel all in.

16:39But ironized yeast tablets give you both vital substances, vitamin B1 with iron. Maybe I'm going to try ironized yeast tablets. By all means do if you're deficient in vitamin B1 and iron. Ironized yeast tablets have greatly helped many, many others with these deficiencies. See if they're not of equal benefit to you. See if before long you two aren't saying. Since I've been feeling so much better, I sleep like a baby that tired out feeling is gone. I'm sure glad I tried ironized yeast tablets. And now back to our lighthouse story of the little people. Fire is warm, hell, warms are very warm. Near filled with smoke, dry swirling smoke see how it coils around him.

17:41At first how often you cry out when I talk like this, but now you're silent. How many weeks has it been? Four, five, six, just to take my savage friends ten weeks to dry and cure the bodies of their enemies ten weeks. And I have done it in five. Look at him. Six foot strong and blood he was but now a dull and size, a small brown dull. What weary days they've been filling the body full of sand and slowly turning, turning in the smoke and the heat not to quickly, not to slowly, not to close to the flames. And now the man that was John Douglas, a dull, a brown dull of death.

18:45The flames are noisy. Noises you are silent little Ellen. You are, had noticed your eyes are closed. Wake up. Wake up! Wake up I say. You've got to look at him. Your eyes have got to see him. You've got to see him. Oh, you're speaking. I cannot understand you. The guy, yes, yes, I will take it off. Sitting there all these weeks you haven't got the strength. There, there, there, that does it. Your lips are free. Well look at him, Ellen. Look at him and tell me what you think of John Douglas now. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Oh, more, more, and more, and more, and more, and more, and more, and more, and more, and more, and more. It can be. Where is he gone? Ellen. Where is he gone? Ellen. Oh, more, more, more, I will go to him and miss him.

19:48Please wake up. Ellen, stop. Stop you here. Understand. You must understand. I love you away from me. Smok, smoke, smoke. What are you raving about? Yeah, smoke, see how it goes around him. No. His weight? No, stop talking like that. Stop talking like that, I say. It's too easy. The knife, where is the knife? I'll stop you now. Oh. Ellen, I... All right. Dead. Up on the table with you? I must prepare you, Ellen, for the smoke and the fire. Took me five weeks with him, and now five more weeks with you. And then you will be his. Brown, with the smoke of the curing fire. A little dog in size. The cions of Borneo and the celibis are the same. The cions of Borneo and the celibis are the same.

20:49The cions of Borneo and the celibis are the same. The cions of Borneo and the celibis are not the only savage tribe which indulged in this most curious pastime of collecting human heads as trophies. In my travels and far out places, I have come across at least 20 other races who participate in this strange custom. Let's get out of here, Miami. What it means is joy is dust. How but who cares about it, and not in men in the lots of that? Let's get out of here and go to a cinema. So old, right, old, right. They went forading and killing their enemies, and generally, in no turn, surprises. These savages severed the heads of the dead, and they returned with them to their villages. Members of the tribe believe their rank in the next world depends upon the number of heads secured. But, unquestionably, the most curious customers found among the Yavados of South America, who not only severed the heads of their enemies, but also are known to shrink the bodies of the dead until they are small, almost dull-like in size.

21:59These bodies are kept in large huts and treasured highly. And now, ladies and gentlemen, I have a surprise for you. In my recent trip to South America and my visit to the Yavados, at great personal risk, I was able to procure two of the Makav specimens. Yes, I have here in this truncly, shrunken bodies of two full-sized human beings. That is at one time, they were full-sized, but now, now they are the size of large dogs. A man and a woman, ladies and gentlemen, perfectly preserved. The only specimens of their kind and existence outside of the South-South-South-Jongles of South America. Never before have they been seen or displayed upon the lecture platform, but tonight, I am going to show them to you. Now you make your public debut, my two beauties. Ellen and John, the new sensation of the lecture stage.

23:01Ladies and gentlemen, if you please, if you please, presenting two perfect specimens, the only ones of their kind, of the secret process which enables the savages of the jungles of South America to reduce their enemies to dole-like size. Here we have a living man, about six foot in size during his lifetime, now reduced to midget size. And likewise, here a woman once a living, breathing individual like you and you and you. Now this horrible trophy of the curers are. You see, Ellen and John, they like you. You are a success. If you success. You. They're talking. You hope. No. Now you cannot talk.

24:01Dad, you cannot talk. No. You cannot talk today about the death. Get the hell out of here. Stop. Stop. Get the hell out of here. Stop. You sure captain at the strange passenger we got aboard this time of mercy. Oh, you mean, Strensky. Hey, strangey is me. What's he running away from Southern? Oh, sure mate, that ain't a proper question to be asking of a man when he lays as many pannos on the table as that man did for this passage. Hit me out of England tonight, he said. And get him out of England, I did. Now, could he be one of them embezzlers? Oh, I know that he might. Yeah, that trunk he was carrying. Well, he wouldn't let any of them in lay a hand on it. He brought it down to the cabin himself. I'd like to get a look in it.

25:02So would I. But he stays in that cabin of his all the time. He's down there now. And I'll bet he's looking in that trunk. The cabin door is locked. No one can come in when the door is locked. It's going to stay locked until we get there. South America, they won't get me there. No one will get me there. Why did I run away? What's the matter with me? No one heard them at all. No one in that audience. They're in that trunk there. They told them. Why don't I find out now if no one heard them at all? Why don't I, for sure? Yes, I must. Now, they couldn't have talked that day. It's two of you lying there. You didn't talk to me, did you? No.

26:02No, of course you didn't. You're dead. You're more than dead. Hollow flesh shrunk by the smoke of heat until you're smoky little dolls. Alan and John, I'm free of you forever. Forever. You. Alan. Thing that was ever. Why don't you say something? Again, I heard you again. The two of you, I heard you. No. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it, little things. You can't speak to your dead, burn to the flames. Stop it. All right, I'll stop you. Into the sea. I'll throw you into the sea. First you have it. Into the water. There. And now you, John, into the sea. And the sea will stop that tongue of yours. There.

27:02There. Now, I'm through with you. Through with you, the water will stop your mouth. It stopped it. I'm free of you forever. The two of you forever. What's the matter? What's the matter? No. The matter of what do you mean, Captain? Nothing is the matter. I thought I saw you throw something in the water. In fact, I'm sure of it. Oh, just some old things. Yes, that's it. Some old things I didn't want. Oh, I see. Well, as long as everything is all right. Yes, yes, yes. Everything is all right. No. No. No. Is it weird night, isn't it? Weird. Why do you say that, man? Yeah, that's so dark. No moon, not a star in the sky. It's like we were sailing at the black of a tomb without even candlelight the leaders. You know, if I was a superstition... What is in the dimmer of name is that? What? What are you talking about? There. To starboard, see? Two lights. Oh, you're a bit different. Take it, what lights are those?

28:02They're coming closer. Starship lights? No, that can't be. Why have you sailed these waters for a few years? It's been. What? The two of them that face the sea, them gleaming faces. Ellen, John, get back. Back to the water I threw you in. Thanks, you, what? Come over here, man. Stop leading over the rain. You'll fall in, you'll fall in, man. Oh! Hello, boy. Hello, boy. Hello, boy. Hello, boy. Help. I fell in. Help me. Oh, Ellen. Please. Here. I'm here. Save me. Save me. Please, Ellen. I'm in for you. Save me. Save me. Stay afloat. Stay afloat. Yes. As I stay afloat, they'll save me. I won't die. I won't. They'll save me. No, people. Take your other arm, Evan. I've his late. No. Let go of me. Let go. Come, Supreme.

29:03I'm going to be here. I'm going to join her. No. Stop, Ellen. John, the tour is stopped. You're pulling me under. You're pulling me. You're pulling me. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Don't move. Well, Mr. Robler. Well, Mr. Martin, what are you looking for tonight? Rationalization, moral. For the course the moral of tonight's story is a healthy and a hopeful one. But evil is its own undue. hopeful one. But evil is its own undoing. That reminds me Frank outside of Hitler hero hero company have you a nomination for the evilest man of the year? No leaving Hitler and his fang tooth friend out of it sort of restricts me doesn't. No because anyone who thinks that evil is impersonated only by the militarist is quite naive. But you have your say and then I'll have mine. Do people say you're slipping that you can't take it anymore? Well if you're short
