Hello and welcome to another episode of Nostolic Mystery Radio.

I'm your host Stevie Kay, and it's my honor to bring you the radio shows of yesteryear.

For this episode, I bring you Nick Carter Master Detective, episode titled The Glass Coffin,

originally aired September 27, 1943, where murder and mayhem in an old movie studio

is a real mystery. So, sit back and relax, and I hope you enjoy this nostalgic mystery

radio. Thank you for listening.

All right, Patsy, out you go. This is it.

This is what, Nick?

A studio of magnificent pictures of which Joseph Stone is the owner and director. Well, there goes another illusion. I thought movie studios were all bright lights and glamour. This place looks like a stage set for the deserted village. Well, it's been locked up for the past ten years or so. Oh. That's funny. The gates locked. And that's our cue to turn around and go home again. You've got a nice, tasty jewel robbery waiting for you to solve back in town, and you should be working on that, instead of being way out here at the end of nowhere, playing around a forgotten movie studio. I guess I'll have to pick the lock. Okay, if you must, patient Patsy'll bear with your little game. This is no game, Patsy. Well, what do you mean?

The house of Lulu Dore, the star of Stone's new picture, was broken into last night while she was at a dance.

She was wearing her jewels, including the famous emeralds.

Fortunately, though, nothing was stolen.

There.

There we are.

All right, Betsy.

Go ahead.

It's funny, there isn't a gatekeeper around?

It does, doesn't it?

Well, I guess they haven't got a full staff for the studio,

considering they moved back from Hollywood just to do this one show.

Why did they do that, Nick?

Oh, Dore had a run-of-the-pay contract for the show she's doing on Broadway and couldn't go west.
