Misfire

Suspence. And the producer of Radio's Outstanding Theater of Thrills, the master of mystery and adventure, William N. Robeson. Talent is an elusive and mystifying phenomenon, and one of the most curious things about it is that it manifests itself in the most unexpected places.

One of the most talented sound men in radio broadcasting is Tom Hanley. We did not know, and, or recently, that he possesses another talent. He is an extraordinarily fine writer. It is his radio play you are about to hear.

Another talent with whom you have been familiar for years is Jack Carson, one of our great comedians, and also a fine dramatic actor. In a moment, he exposes another facet of his quite extensive talents as our storyteller.

Listen, listen then, as Jack Carson stars in Tom Hanley's terrifying story, Miss Fire, which begins in exactly one minute. Now how many of you have heard a doctor lecture on the lining of the stomach and what you're doing to it?

Well you may think this line of gab is only for you. Why son, doctors have been telling Americans this ever since we became a nation. Like a fella come up to me the other day and asked about that great American Mike Fink.

Say, is it true that Mike once ate a buffalo robe? Certainly. And with the hair on it. Well why did he do that? Well, you see, Mike ranked so much whiskey that he destroyed the cotan of his stomach, and the doctor told him that before he could get well he'd need a new coat for it.

Mike thought that over, and lead up his mind at a buffalo robe with hair on it was just the thing. So he sat down and swallowed one. He could drink any amount of whiskey after that, and that's a fact.
