The Fling

Kathy and Elliot Lewis on stage. Kathy Lewis, Elliot Lewis, two of the most distinguished aims in radio, appearing each week in their own theatre, starring in a repertory of transcribed stories of their own and your choosing.

Radio's foremost players and radio's foremost plays. Ladies and gentlemen, Elliot Lewis. Good evening. May I present my wife, Kathy. Good evening. I had the opportunity the week before last to catch up on some of my reading, And I fortunately had available before me a short story by a writer new to our program,

Hept Manheim by name. Elliot was fascinated with the story, I read it and agreed with him, and we asked Mr. Manheim if he would let us do it on stage. He agreed, we asked E. Jack Newman to adapt it for us, he agreed, and that's how a radio show gets to the point where we're able to say...

Ladies and gentlemen, tonight we present The Fling, based on the short story by Hept Manheim. Oh, Jim. It's all right.

Just the wind. Oh, what time is it? It must be about three. You need your rest, Katie. Go back to sleep now. Jim, do you remember the night we met at the Alkstance in Carver?

Of course I remember. I was very pretty, wasn't I? You've always been pretty, Katie. We didn't know this was going to happen, then. If it hadn't happened, if I hadn't gotten sick, what do you think it would be like now?

We can't think about that, Katie. But please, go back to sleep, huh? You miss home, don't you, Jim? This is home now. The Mojave Desert's as good as Carver Indiana, if it's the place that you can get oil in.
