The Goose Hangs High

From great plays. Tonight the goose hangs high by Lewis Beach as adapted for radio by Howard Taichman starring Walter Abel. I'm Bernard Ingalls. I don't think we've spoiled our children. We've simply given them the things we felt they should have.

Margolo Gilmore. I'm Una Singles. I think we have the most wonderful children in the world. Right now we're expecting them home for the holidays. And Ethel Owen. I'm My Munis' mother, my daughter, married a perfectly nice person.

The only thing we've ever had words about is Lois and Bradley, the children. Always wanting and getting. Oh, their goose hangs high. And here's your host, the distinguished actor-manager, Mr. Walter Hamden. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

Welcome to another transcribed half hour of great scenes from great plays, presented on behalf of the Protestant Episcopal Church of your own community and the Episcopal Actors Guild. Now let's raise the curtain on the goose hangs high.

We pick up Bernard Ingalls as he hurries home from the office one evening. An old friend is calling to him. Bernard! Hey, Ingalls! What? Oh, no, I didn't hear you. You must be walking in your sleep, man. I've been chasing you for blots.

I was hurrying home, were expecting the children any minute. Yes, I know, I had phone junis. I'll bet your tickle pink to see them you toting old fool. Yes, yes I am. Something wrong, Bern? You're looking awfully tired.

No, I'm fine. No, I just had a hard day, that's all. How are you making out with the new councilman, Eliot Kimberley? It's getting worse every day. Still want your job to go as a political plumb to one of his friends?
