Get this and get it straight. Crime is a suckers road and those who travel it wind up in the gut of the prison of the grave.

Yours truly, Johnny Deller. And the Hello and welcome to another midweek Bonus Comedy episode of Down These Mean Streets.

Last month I shared the first two episodes of the Stan Freiburg show,

one of the last pure comedy series to air during the Golden Age of Radio and one of the most

insane and inspired the medium ever produced. Freiburg's satirical sensibilities

and the support of cast members June Faray, Peter Leeds and Dawes Butler make these shows just as funny today

as they were when they first aired.

Actually today the Stan Freiburg Show will probably find an

audience more receptive to its unique comedic style. The Stan Freiburg Show is

my favorite old- time radio comedy.

So I thought let's keep it rolling this week with the next two episodes, originally

aired on CBS on July 28th and August 4th, 1957.

The first episode offers a great showcase for June Ferre.

She plays Miss Jupiter and she's dropped in to complain that she wasn't allowed to enter the Miss Universe pageant.

The show also features an unusual radio performance of a troop of acrobats and untold secrets of Custer's last stand.

Then the great Hans Conread guests in the next episode, he's heard in a spoof of the Lux Radio Theater. It's the

story of a man whose large nose keeps him from getting close to his family.
