This is the Relic Radio Show.

Old Time Radio Entertainment still standing the test of time from Relicradio.com.

Welcome back to the Relic Radio Show and Hour Thereabouts of Old Time Radio Drama.

We'll begin this week with Alan Ladd in Box 13.

We'll hear the February 6th, 1949 episode titled Last Will and Nursery Rhyme.

After that, it's Radio City Playhouse, and long distance.

Their story from August 23rd, 1948.

Box 13, with the star of Paramount Pictures, Alan Ladd, as Dan Holiday.

Dear Dan, I'm inviting you up to Fair Oaks to spend the last weekend with me.

Forget your box 13 gag for a while and grab yourself a little vacation.

There's not much I can offer in the way of excitement or adventure.

But if you'll really go any place or do anything,

you might like to see the crumbling grandeur of the last weekend.

Thank you. You might like to see the crumbling grandeur of the last of the... The Crumbling Grandeur of the last of the Kinworth.

You know how to get there and I'll be waiting.

How about it?

Vacation, the man said.

You know, someday I'm really going to take a vacation,

but this wasn't it. And now back to Box 13 and Dan Holiday's newest adventure, Last Will and Nursery Rhyme.

I think you should go, Mr. Holiday. You need a rest. Oh, Susie, every time I go for a rest, something happens to me. But what can happen at a nice, quiet place like Fair Oaks? Gee, from what your friend Ted says about it, it's just a spot to take it easy. You're sure of that, huh? Uh-huh, why you'll come back all full of Vim and vinegar.

Okay, Susie, you talk me and do it.

Bored my mail to Fair Oaks, care of Ted Kenworth.
