A Fifth of Tears

Kathy and Elliot Lewis on stage. Kathy Lewis, Elliot Lewis, two of the most distinguished names in radio. Appearing each week in their own theater, starring in a repertoire of trans-broad stories of their own and your choosing.

Radio's foremost players in radio's foremost plays. Drama, comedy, adventure, mystery, melodrama. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Elliot Lewis. May I present my wife, Kathy? Good evening, and may I introduce our guest this evening, Bob Sweeney.

Bob Sweeney. Hello. Bob is a comedian and writer of comedy to most of you listening. But tonight he's done something a little bit different and we thought it would be nice if he told you about it himself.

Thank you. A few months ago I got interested in the work done by police women on the forces of our cities and they were kind enough to allow me to spend some time with them on their tours.

I put together some of what I saw during those weeks. I wrote a script called A Fifth of Tears. That's it. Which you're going to tell us tonight. you, Kathy, playing the police woman, and Elliot playing a skid row bartender.

So tonight, a fifth of tears, written and narrated by Bob Sweeney. Tonight, it's the night watch out of Georgia Street. Five thirty in the evening till one in the morning. We patrol areas of high frequency in the heart of our city, parks, bowling alleys, depots, penny arcades, cheap movie houses, skid row, pearlesque strippers and gin joints.

and any other places the men and women of our city choose to commit their acts of violence upon themselves and their children. Right now, it's a role called a Georgistry. It's 4.45 pm. At the end of the day for some, the beginning for others.
