What happens
Jane Stacey, who is secretly in love with her boss Richard Rhinelander, grows jealous when he hires a new red-haired assistant, Gloria Benson, and begins staying late at the office with her. Jane resolves to quit and writes him an angry letter of resignation, then wants it back before it reaches him. Her roommate Irma Peters is no help, and their neighbors offer their own unsolicited advice. The episode is from the My Friend Irma series, first broadcast on CBS Radio on February 2, 1948. Marie Wilson plays Irma and Cathy Lewis plays Jane, with Hans Conried and Alan Reed also in the cast.
An apartment shared by two young women in New York City, and Richard Rhinelander's office.
Characters: Jane Stacey, Irma Peters, Richard Rhinelander, Gloria Benson, Professor Kropotkin, Mrs. O'Reilly, Al
Listen for: Irma's string of absent-minded remarks and Jane's attempts to retrieve the letter before Richard reads it.
Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
