A Friend In Need

In a moment you'll hear James Stewart as the six-shooter, just one of the many fine programs brought to you Sundays on NBC. Later this evening, listen to the NBC star playhouse with one of your favorite stars.

Here's stroke of fate in the story of what might have happened if fate had reversed historical facts. And be sure to keep tune for the dramatic story of Last Man Out. It's a wonderful lineup of great programs, all of them heard only on NBC.

James Stewart as the six-shooter. The man in the saddle is angular and long-legged. His skin is sun-died brown. The gun in his holster is grey steel and rainbow mother of pearl. It's handled on marks.

People call them both. The Six Shooter. The NBC Radio Network presents James Stewart as the Six Shooter. A transcribed series of radio dramas based on the life of Britt Ponsett, the Texas Plainsman, who wandered through the Western territories leaving behind a trail of still-remembered legends.

50 yard canyon, that's what folks call it. Probably there was another name, more official written down on a map in the territorial capital, but the people around smoke falls, they just call it 50 yard canyon. You see, it was only 50 yards wide, some place even now, but it was close 35 miles long, and riding through it was certainly like riding between two giant

slabs of granite, all polished and smooth, the way of gravestones fix that. Except that these slabs were close to half mile high. Well anyway, that's what we were coming into, scar made, following the trail east to small falls.

We just got an on toward daybreak and the sky was kind of an oatmeal gray, heavy, wet, waiting for the sun to come up to stir some light into us. We were out on a sharp bend and Scar flared his nostrils and slowed down to a walk.
