presenting Orson Welles as the third man. The Lives of Harry Lime. The fabulous stories of the immortal character originally created in the motion picture, The Third Man, with Zither Music by Anton Kera. That was the shot that killed Harry Lime.

He died in a sewer beneath Vienna. As those of you know, who saw the movie The Third Man. Yes, that was the end of Harry Lime. But it was not the beginning. Harry Lyon had many lives.

I can recount all of them. How do I know? Very simple. Because my name is Harry Lyon. I've known many places and left them. Made many friends and lost them. Won many fortunes and spent them.

My faith seems to be linked to our cosmic yo-yo. This is a story of a low point on one of the yo-yo trips down. particular low point is known on the map as the island of Haiti. I arrived as a sort of political refugee, a small revolution. I'd been promoting in a nearby banana republic

it fizzled out on me and the general I'd been backing, backed out. I found myself holding the bag. The bag luckily just happened to contain a few rolls of the US Treasury's best letters. So when I descended on Haiti I did it with style. Then after a while I spent the style. I thought that anybody tell you about the easy life on these tropical islands. You

need dough and paradise too. Of course I still had my friends among the natives but even they had become devoted students of the Rubyites. That is they took the cash and let the credit go.

Orson Wells is Harry Lyon, the third man in Budu. I am sorry, monsieurie, no more. Ah, come on. I was yours. You've got a clean white off the even for a bar to the area please understand my boss he supply my cup I cannot mark it up any further gosh are you trying to tell me that money makes that much difference to you
