The Big Day

Spence Outstanding theater of thrills the master of mystery and adventure William and Robeson did you know that the Stanley steamer is the fastest automobile ever made it is theoretically at least Nobody ever determined its top speed because it had a tendency to blow up first All of which is by way of background for the upcoming story of suspense

Listen listen then as mr. John McIntyre stars in the big day Which begins one minute from now. I have never read a collection of American folklore which had a section devoted solely to the downtrodden commuter, but there should be.

There are legends galore about the miseries of these poor folk. For example, there was this train in Idaho that was a mite slow. Once an impatient passenger asked the conductor why the train had stopped.

There's a cow on the track, he said. We have to chase her away. A little later, when the train stopped again, the passenger roared, Now what's wrong? Oh, said the conductor serenely, We just caught up with that cow again.

Heh heh. folklore belongs to every nation's legendary past, and I guess we Americans have our share of some good ones, like the one about... Ha ha, but we'll have to say that one for the next time we travel your way.

See you then. And now... Mr. John McIntyre in the big day, a tail well calculated to keep you in... sus fence. What's it say on the gauge, Albert? Looks like about four pounds Sam, maybe four and a half?

Not enough. You won't run on four and a half pounds of steam pressure, that's for sure. Can't see what difference it would make if she did run Sam. You wouldn't take her anywhere. Just sit here in the garage like you've been doing every day since I can remember.
