'You can speak!''Of course I can speak,' said the Scarecrow, 'But I can't move, up here on this pole. I'd like to get down, can you help me?'Carefully,Dorothy took the Scarecrow off his pole.'Thank you very much,' said the Scarecrow.He moved his arms and legs, and straw went everywhere.'Who are you?', he asked, 'And where are you going? ''I'm Dorothy, and I'm going to the Emerald City. I want to go home to Kansas, but I don't know the way. I'm going to ask the Wizard of Oz for help. ''Where is the Emerald City?', asked the Scarecrow, 'And who is the Wizard of Oz? I don't know anything, you see, because I have no brains in my head— only straw.''Oh dear!', said Dorothy, 'I'm very sorry.''I would very much like to have some brains,' the Scarecrow said, 'Can I go to the Emerald City with you? Perhaps the Wizard of Oz can give me some brains. What do you think?''I don't know,' said Dorothy, 'But yes, please come with me. He's a famous wizard,so perhaps he can help you.'She felt very sorry for the Scarecrow.'Don't be afraid of Toto,' she said, 'He never hurts people.''Nothing can hurt me,' said the Scarecrow, 'I'm not afraid of anything. Well, that's not true. I am afraid of fire, of course.'Dorothy walked along the road with her new friend.Soon she began to feel hungry, so she sat down and she and Toto ate some bread and apples.'Would you like some, Scarecrow?' said Dorothy.'No,thank you,' said the Scarecrow.'I don't need to eat or drink. You can't eat when you're made of straw...Now, tell me about your home. 'So Dorothy told him about Kansas, and Uncle Henry and Aunt Em, and the cyclone.'But why do you want to leave this beautiful country?' asked the Scarecrow, 'Kansas,you say, has no trees, no green hills, no gardens. I don't understand.''That's because you have no brains,' said Dorothy, 'Kansas is my home. We say, “East,west, home's best”, and it's true. I want to go home.'They walked along the road for some hours, and then it got dark.Dorothy was tired, and soon the Scarecrow saw a little house behind some trees.There was nobody there, so they went in.Dorothy and Toto slept, but the Scarecrow just stood all night with his eyes open.'Scarecrows don't sleep,' he said.In the morning, Dorothy looked for water.'Why do you want water?' asked the Scarecrow.'Toto and I are thirsty. And I need to wash.''I'm sorry for you,' said the Scarecrow, 'You need a lot of things! But you have brains, and you can think, and that's wonderful.'They found some water, and Dorothy washed.Then she and Toto ate some bread.Suddenly,they heard a shout from the trees near the house, and they all ran out of the house to look.They saw a man by a big tree, with an axe in his hand.He was made of tin.He stood very still and shouted 'Help!' again and again.'What can I do for you?' asked Dorothy.'I can't move,' said the Tin Man, 'Please oil me. There's an oil-can in my house.'At once, Dorothy ran back to the house and found the oil-can.Then she came back, and with the Scarecrow's help, she carefully oiled the Tin Man.Slowly,he began to move, first his head, and then his arms and legs.'Thank you,' he said. 'I feel better now.'He put down his axe.'I went out in the rain, you see, and water is very bad for a tin body. I was there for a long time, and nobody came to help me.''We stopped at your house for the night,' Dorothy said, 'and we heard your shout this morning.''Where are you going?' asked the Tin Man.So Dorothy told him about the Wizard of Oz.'I want to go back to Kansas, and the Scarecrow wants some brains,' she said.The Tin Man was very interested.'Can the Wizard give me a heart, do you think? I have no heart, so I can't love, or feel... I would very much like to have a heart.''Come with us,' said the Scarecrow.'Yes,' said Dorothy, 'And then you can ask the Wizard for help, too.'So they all walked along the yellow brick road.There were many tall trees next to the road, and sometimes the three friends heard noises from animals behind the trees.Dorothy did not like these noises very much.'How far is it to the Emerald City?' she asked the Tin Man, 'Do you know?''It's a long way, I think,' said the Tin Man, 'And we must be careful because—'But just then, a big lion suddenly ran out from the trees, into the road.It opened its mouth— it had long yellow teeth— and began to run after Toto.Dorothy was afraid for Toto.She ran up to the lion and hit it on the nose with her bag.'Don't hurt my dog!' she cried angrily, 'He's smaller than you!''I didn't hurt him,' said the Lion, 'Don't hit me again— please!''Why—you're afraid!' said Dorothy, 'Be quiet,Toto, he isn't going to hurt you. He's more afraid than you are. He's just a big coward.''It's true,' said the Lion, 'I am a coward.Everyone thinks lions are brave. I make a lot of noise, but I'm not brave. I'm just a coward.'And the Cowardly Lion began to cry.Then Dorothy told him about the Wizard of Oz.'Come with us to the Emerald City,' she said, 'I want to go back to Kansas, the Scarecrow wants some brains, and the Tin Man wants a heart. Perhaps the Wizard of Oz can make you brave.''Oh,thank you!' said the Lion, 'I would very much like to be brave.'And so the Cowardly Lion came with them.At first, Toto was afraid of him, but very soon he and the Lion were good friends.That night, Dorothy and Toto slept under a big tree, next to the Cowardly Lion's big warm body.In the morning, they ate the last of their bread.'Oh dear!' said Dorothy, 'What are we going to eat for dinner?''I can kill an animal for you,' said the Cowardly Lion.'Oh no— please don't kill anything!' the Tin Man said.He began to cry, 'We don't want to hurt any animals. I haven't got a heart, but Ifeel sorry for them.'Dorothy quickly got out the oil-can and oiled his face.'Don't cry,' she said, 'You know water is bad for you.'They walked along the yellow road, and after an hour or two, they came to a big river.'Oh no!' said Dorothy, 'How can we get across?'The Lion looked down at the river.'I'm very afraid of falling,' he said, 'but I think I can jump across.''Good!'said the Scarecrow at once, 'You can carry us on your back, one at a time.'So the Cowardly Lion jumped across the river, first with the Scarecrow on his back, then with Dorothy and Toto, and last with the Tin Man.But soon they came to a second river.This one was very big, and the Lion could not jump across it.The Scarecrow thought for a minute.'Look,'he said, 'There's a tall tree next to the river. The Tin Man can cut it down with his axe. And when the tree falls across the river, we can walk across the tree.''Very good,' said the Lion, 'For somebody with straw in their head, and not brains.'So the Tin Man cut down the tree with his axe, and soon they were all across that river, too.翻译第二章：黄砖路多萝西和托托沿着黄色的砖路走了很长一段距离。当他们感到疲惫时，便在路边的一片田野里停下来休息。不远处有一个稻草人，多萝西和托托走过去去看他。“你好啊，”稻草人说道。“哦！”多萝西说道，“你居然能说话啊！”“当然我能说话，”稻草人说道，“但我在这根杆子上动不了了。我想下来，你能帮我吗？”多萝西小心翼翼地把稻草人从杆子上取了下来。“非常感谢你，”稻草人说道。他动了动自己的胳膊和腿，稻草四处乱飞。“你是谁？”他问道，“你要去哪里？”“我是多萝西，我要去翡翠城。我想回堪萨斯老家，但我不知道路。我要去向奥兹巫师求助。”“翡翠城在哪里？”稻草人问道，“奥兹巫师是谁？你知道的，因为我脑袋里没有脑子——只有稻草。”“哎呀！”多萝西说道，“我很抱歉。”“我非常希望能有一些脑子，”稻草人说道，“我能和你一起去翡翠城吗？也许奥兹巫师能给我一些脑子。你觉得怎么样？”“我不知道，”多萝西说道，“不过，好吧，请跟我来吧。他可是个著名的巫师，或许他能帮到你。”她为稻草人感到非常难过。“别害怕托托，”她说，“他从不伤害人。”“没有什么能伤害到我，”稻草人说道，“我什么都不怕。嗯，这不完全是真的。我当然害怕火。”多萝西和她的新朋友一起沿着道路前行。很快她就开始感到饿了，于是她坐了下来，和托托一起吃了些面包和苹果。“稻草人，你想吃点吗？”多萝西说道。“不用了，谢谢，”稻草人说道。“我不需要吃或者喝。当你是稻草做成的时候，是不能吃东西的……现在，告诉我一些关于你家乡的事”多萝西向他讲述了她的家乡——堪萨斯州，还有亨利叔叔和埃姆婶婶，以及那场龙卷风。“可你为什么要离开这个美丽的国度呢？”稻草人问道，“你说的堪萨斯没有树木、没有绿色的山丘、没有花园。我不明白。”“那是因为你没有头脑，”多萝西说道，“堪萨斯是我的家乡。我们常说‘无论东西，家才是最好的'，这是真的。我想回家。”他们沿着道路走了几个小时，然后天色暗了下来。多萝西累了，很快稻草人看到一些树后面有一座小房子。那里没有人，于是他们走了进去。多萝西和托托睡着了，但稻草人整晚都睁着眼睛站着。“稻草人是不会睡觉的。”他说。早上，多萝西去找水。“你为什么需要水？”稻草人问道。“我和托托都渴了。而且我还需要洗一洗。”“我很为你感到难过。”稻草人说。“你需要很多东西！但你有头脑，能思考，这真是太好了。”他们找到了一些水，多萝西洗了洗。然后她和托托吃了些面包。突然，他们听到房子附近树林里传来一声喊叫，于是他们都跑出房子去看。他们看到一个男人站在一棵大树旁，手里拿着一把斧子。他是用锡做成的。他一动不动地站着，一遍又一遍地喊着“救命！”“我能为你做些什么？”多萝西问道。“我动不了了。”铁皮人说，“请给我抹点油。我家里有个油罐。”立刻，多萝西跑回房子，找到了那个油罐。然后她回来了，在稻草人的帮助下，她小心翼翼地给铁皮人抹上了油。慢慢地，他开始动了，先是他的头，然后是他的胳膊和腿。“谢谢你。”他说。“现在我感觉好多了。”他放下斧子。“我是在雨中出去的，你知道的，而雨水对铁质的身体来说可是非常有害的。我在那里待了很长时间，却没有人来帮我。”“我们昨晚就在你家过夜的，”多萝西说，“今天早上我们听到你发出了呼救声。”“你要去哪里？”“铁皮人问道。于是多萝西便向他讲述了奥兹巫师的事。“我想回堪萨斯州去，而稻草人想要一些头脑，”她说。铁皮人非常感兴趣。“你觉得巫师能给我一颗心吗？我没有心，所以无法爱，也无法感受……我非常渴望拥有一颗心。”“跟我们走吧，”稻草人说。“好啊，”多萝西说，“然后你们也能向巫师寻求帮助。”于是他们一起沿着黄色的砖路前行。路旁有许多高大的树木，有时这三位朋友会听到树后动物发出的声音。多萝西不太喜欢这些声音。“去翡翠城还有多远？”她问铁皮人，“你知道吗？”“我觉得很远，”铁皮人说，“而且我们必须小心，因为——”但就在这时，一只大狮子突然从树丛中冲了出来，跑到了路上。它张开嘴巴——它有着长长的黄色牙齿——然后开始追赶托托。多萝西为托托感到害怕。她跑到狮子面前，用她的包打它的鼻子。“别伤害我的狗！”她生气地喊道，“它比你小多了！”“我没有伤害它，”狮子说，“别再打了——求求你了！”“为什么——你害怕了！”多萝西说道，“安静点，托托，他不会伤害你的。他比你还要害怕。他只不过是个胆小鬼罢了。”“确实如此，”狮子说道，“我就是个胆小鬼。大家都认为狮子很勇敢。我总是大声吼叫，但我其实并不勇敢。我只是个胆小鬼罢了。”于是，胆小的狮子开始哭泣起来。接着，多萝西向他讲述了奥兹巫师的事。“跟我们一起去翡翠城吧，”她说，“我想回堪萨斯州去，稻草人需要一些头脑，铁皮人需要一颗心。也许奥兹巫师能让你变得勇敢。”“哦，谢谢你！”狮子说道，“我非常希望能变得勇敢。”于是，胆小的狮子就跟他们一起去了。起初，托托害怕他，但很快他就和狮子成了好朋友。那天晚上，多萝西和托托睡在一棵大树下，紧挨着胆小的狮子那温暖的大身躯。第二天早上，他们吃完了最后一点面包。“哎呀！”多萝西说道，“晚餐吃什么呀？”“我可以为你杀一只动物。”胆小的狮子说道。“哦，不——请别杀任何动物！”铁皮人说道。他开始哭泣，“我们不想伤害任何动物。我并没有心脏，但我还是为他们感到难过。”多萝西迅速拿出油罐，给他的脸抹上油。“别哭了，”她说，“你知道水对你是有害的。”他们沿着黄色的道路前行，过了一个小时左右，他们来到了一条大河旁。“哦，不！”多萝西说道，“我们怎么才能过河呢？”狮子低头看着这条河。“我非常害怕掉下去，”他说，“但我认为我能跳过去。”“好啊！”稻草人立刻说道，“你可以背着我们，一次一个。”于是，胆小的狮子先跳过了河，背上是稻草人，接着是多萝西和托托，最后是铁皮人。但很快他们又来到了第二条河旁。这条河非常大，狮子无法跳过去。稻草人思考了一会儿。“看，”他说，“河旁边有一棵高大的树。铁皮人可以用他的斧子把它砍倒。当树横在河上时，我们就可以从树上走过去。”“很好，”狮子说道，“对于脑袋里只有稻草而没有头脑的人来说，这真是个好主意。”于是铁皮人用他的斧子砍倒了那棵树，很快他们也都过了那条河。

'Leave the dog and come down into the cellar!'Dorothy picked up Toto and ran to the cellar door.But before she got there, the cyclone hit the house.And then a very strange thing happened.The house moved, and then it went slowly up, up, up into the sky.Aunt Em and Uncle Henry were down in the cellar under the ground, but the house,Dorothy, and Toto went up to the top of the cyclone.Dorothy looked through the open cellar door and saw hills and houses, a long way down.She closed the cellar door quickly.The wind blew the house along for many hours.At first, Dorothy was afraid.'But we can't do anything about it,' she said to Toto. 'So let's wait and see.'And after two or three hours, she and Toto went to sleep.When Dorothy opened her eyes again, the house was on the ground and everything was quiet.She picked up Toto, opened the door, and went out.They saw tall trees and beautiful flowers, and little houses with blue doors.Dorothy gave a little cry, 'This isn't Kansas, Toto! And who are these people?'There were three very short men in blue hats, coats and trousers, and a little old woman in a beautiful white dress.The woman walked up to Dorothy and said, 'Thank you, thank you! Now the people are free!''Why are you thanking me?' Dorothy asked.'You killed the Witch of the East,' said the woman, 'She was a bad witch, and her people, the Munchkins, were very afraid of her. Now she is dead, and we and the Munchkins want to thank you.'The little old woman and the three little men all smiled happily at Dorothy, but Dorothy did not understand.'But I didn't kill anybody, ' She said.'Your house fell on the witch,' laughed the little woman, 'Look, you can see her feet.'Dorothy looked and saw two feet with red shoes under the house.Suddenly,one of the Munchkins gave a shout, 'Look, her feet are disappearing in the hot sun.'And a second later, there were only the red shoes.'Good,'said the little woman.She picked up the shoes and gave them to Dorothy, 'they're your shoes now. You must wear them, because a witch's shoes can sometimes do wonderful things.''Thank you,' said Dorothy, 'But who are you? Are you a munchkin?''No,but I'm their friend. I'm the Witch of the North and I came to see the dead witch of the East. But don't be afraid, I am a good witch.''But Aunt Em says there aren't any witches.''Oh yes, there are,' said the witch, 'here in the country of Oz, we have four witches. The witches of the North and the South are good witches, but those of the East and the West are bad witches. Now the Witch of the East is dead. So,there is only one bad witch. We have a famous wizard too, we call him the Wizard of Oz, and he lives in the Emerald city. How many witches and wizards do you have in your country?''We don't have any,' said Dorothy.Suddenly,she remembered Aunt Em and uncle Henry.'How can I get back home to Kansas?', She asked.'Where is Kansas?', asked the good witch, 'I don't know a country called Kansas, so I can't tell you the way.'Dorothy began to cry.'Oh dear, what can I do? Please don't cry,' said the witch.'Go and see the Wizard of Oz. He's a good wizard and perhaps he can help you. It's a long way and you must walk there. I can't go with you, but I can give you my kiss.'She gave Dorothy a little kiss.It looked like a small red flower on Dorothy's face.'Now nothing can hurt you,' she said, 'Look, there is the road to the Emerald city.It is made of yellow bricks, so you cannot lose your way. Good bye.''Goodbye,' said the three little Munchkins.In the house, Dorothy found some bread and some apples, and she put them all in a bag.Then she put on her blue and white dress.'And now I looked nice,' she said.She looked down at her old shoes.Then she remembered the bad witch's red shoes and put them on.She picked up her bag of food.'Come on, Toto.' She called, 'we are going to find the Wizard of Oz. '翻译第一章：旋风多萝西和她的叔叔亨利、阿姨埃姆以及一只名叫托托的小黑狗一起住在堪萨斯州的一座小房子里。堪萨斯州没有树木，也没有山丘，而且经常刮起狂风。有时风会来得非常猛烈且突然。这就是龙卷风，它能将树木、人和建筑物吹走。所有房屋下面都有地窖。当龙卷风来袭时，人们会下到地窖里待在那里。有一天，亨利叔叔走出房子，抬头望着天空。然后他迅速跑回屋里。“有一场龙卷风要来了，”他对埃姆阿姨和多萝西喊道，“我们必须下到地窖里去！”他们跑向地窖的门，但托托很害怕，它跑到了床底下。多萝西追着它跑。“快点！”埃姆阿姨从地窖里喊道。“别管这只狗，赶紧下到地窖里！”多萝西抱着托托跑向地窖门。但在她到达之前，龙卷风袭击了房子。然后发生了一件非常奇怪的事情。房子动了，然后慢慢地向上移动，向上，向上，一直升入天空。埃姆阿姨和亨利叔叔在地下的地窖里，但房子、多萝西和托托升到了龙卷风的顶部。多萝西透过敞开的地下室门向外望去，只见远处山峦起伏，房屋错落有致。她迅速关上了地下室的门。狂风将房子吹着移动了好几个小时。起初，多萝西有些害怕。“但我们对此无能为力，”她对托托说，“所以咱们就等着瞧吧。”过了两三个小时，她和托托就睡着了。当多萝西再次睁开眼睛时，房子已经停在了地上，四周一片寂静。她抱起托托，打开门，走了出去。他们看到了高大的树木、美丽的花朵，还有带有蓝色门的小房子。多萝西轻声叫道：“这不是堪萨斯，托托！这些人又是谁呢？”有三个戴着蓝色帽子、穿着外套和裤子的矮个子男人，还有一个穿着漂亮白裙子的老妇人。这个女人走到多萝西面前说：“谢谢你们，谢谢你们！现在人们自由了！”“你们为什么感谢我？”多萝西问道。“是你杀了东方女巫，”这个女人说，“她是个邪恶的女巫，她的子民——芒奇金人非常惧怕她。现在她死了，我们和芒奇金人都想感谢你。”那个小老太太和那三个矮个子男人都开心地对着多萝西微笑，但多萝西不明白。“可我没有杀人啊。”她说道。“你的房子压死了那个女巫，”那个小妇人笑着说，“看，你能看到她的双脚。”多萝西看了看，发现房子下面有两个穿着红色鞋子的脚。突然，一个芒奇金人喊道：“看，她的双脚在烈日下渐渐消失了。”片刻之后，就只剩下那双红色的鞋子了。“很好，”小妇人说道。她捡起鞋子，递给多萝西，“它们现在是你的鞋子了。你必须穿上它们，因为女巫的鞋子有时能施展神奇的法术。”“谢谢你，”多萝西说道，“可你是谁？你是芒奇金人吗？”“不是，但我却是他们的朋友。我是北方女巫，来这儿是来看那位已经死了的东方女巫的。但不必害怕，我是位好女巫。”“可是艾姆阿姨说这里没有女巫。”“哦，不是的，”女巫说道，“在奥兹这个国家里，我们有四位女巫。北方和南方女巫是好女巫，而东边和西边女巫则是坏女巫。现在东边女巫已经死了。所以现在就只剩下一个坏女巫了。我们还有一个著名的巫师，我们称他为奥兹巫师，他住在翡翠城。你们国家有多少女巫和巫师呢？”“我们没有。”多萝西说道。突然，她想起了埃姆阿姨和亨利叔叔。“我怎么才能回到堪萨斯州呢？”她问道。“堪萨斯州在哪里？”好心的女巫问道，“我不知道有个叫堪萨斯的国家，所以没法告诉你去那儿的路。”多萝西开始哭泣。“哎呀，我能怎么办呢？请别哭了。”女巫说道。“去见奥兹巫师吧。他是个好巫师，也许他能帮到你。路很远，你得走着去那儿。我不能和你一起去，但我可以给你一个吻。”她给了多萝西一个小小的吻。那吻看起来像多萝西脸上的一个小红花。“现在没有什么能伤害到你了。”她说，“看，那是通往翡翠城的路。它是用黄色砖块铺成的，所以你不会迷路的。再见。”“再见。”三个芒奇金人说道。在房子里，多萝西找到了一些面包和一些苹果，她把它们都放进了一个袋子里。然后她穿上了她的蓝白相间的连衣裙。“现在我看起来很漂亮了。”她说。她低头看了看她那双旧鞋子。然后她想起了坏女巫的红色鞋子，穿上了它们。她拿起装着食物的袋子。“来吧，托托。”她喊道，“我们要去找奥兹巫师了。”

When Henry King Fong was born in Sacramento, his immigrant father was already 58 and his straight-from-the-village mother was 48. Henry was the youngest of five and was only two years old when his father died. Their family was quite poor, but his mother made every penny count. Henry eventually graduated from UC Berkeley with an engineering degree, and went to work designing rockets. Even after he got married and became the father of their two sons, a part of him still had a deep yearning to know who his father was. Which is why he began to search high and low for the essential missing pieces of his dad's life-puzzle. As a result, Henry became the Fong family's historian. My late father was Uncle Henry's oldest brother, so I grew up spending a good amount of time with my uncle and his family. But it really wasn't till I began to spend more time back in Sacramento that we really got to know each other as adults. Uncle Henry turned 96 this past July, so I was determined to make a recording of what he's come to know about my grandfather whom I never knew.

At a dull dinner party, a man conjures up an imaginary companion—“a woman in grey”—claiming she'll haunt those he dislikes so he doesn't have to deal with them. His fabrication starts having real consequences: people he dislikes begin to die, and he suspects his own creation has taken on a chilling existence!

There is something strange going on at Uncle Henry's farm. The chickens have stopped laying eggs, the cows aren't giving any milk and none of the animals will eat their dinner. Even worse—they're all in a terribly bad mood.  When Uncle Henry calls Catbaloo for help, she picks up Old Mrs. Moody along the way, and the two of them set off on a road trip to solve the farmyard mystery. But when their car won't start, they have to push it down the street to Haney's Service Station. Maybe Mr. Haney can help! Is it a loose fan belt? Trouble under the hood? Or do they just need some good gas in the tank? Your kiddos will discover that just like cars need fuel, animals—and people—need the right kind of food to stay healthy, happy, and strong! Kiddos can join Old Mrs. Moody and Catbaloo in a lively song all about eating well: “Try some carrots and lettuce, you'll never regret it. Tomatoes, potatoes, and peas. If you fill up on cookies, you're going to feel grumpy, it's good food for your body you need” Come and listen to this beautifully recorded episode—you'll learn a little about cranky farm animals and a lot about filling your tummies and tanks with the right kind of fuel As always, it was pure delight to create this episode for you and your little loves to enjoy together. © 2025 - Old Mrs. Moody, LLC - all rights reserved.

There is a toad singing showtunes in the creek outside Old Mrs. Moody's bedroom - and it's midnight! Such a ruckus! Poor Old Mrs. Moody can't get to sleep and has to call Catbaloo for help. When Catbaloo arrives, together they decide that it's not the toad's singing that they mind, it's the TIME he is singing that's the problem. So, they come up with a plan: they will build Mr. Toad a stage and will help him put on a show every afternoon. Hopefully, Toady will be so worn out from his daily matinees that he'll go to bed early and sleep all night. Old Mrs. Moody bakes cookies, prints flyers and invites the whole neighborhood to come to the show. Uncle Henry, Lizbeth, and even Thelma, and her darling little grandson, William, come to the singing extravaganza. Listeners are encouraged to think about the importance of using their talents so that they don't go to waste. "What good are your talents if you never try to use them?” - Catbaloo “Why, they'd be no good at all––they would be wasted. And that would be tragic!" - Old Mrs. Moody This is a wonderfully meaningful and funny episode, highlighted with a special guest star performance by a very full-throated toad. Hope you enjoy the show and will listen over and over and over. Feel free to sing along in your best toady voice! I recorded this with all your dear hearts in mind. 1 Peter 4:10 Thank you for listening /sb © 2025 sb veskerna all rights reserved

Suspense - Uncle Henry's Rosebush 1943 Stars-Agnes Moorehead, Ellen Drew & Ted Ried When a woman and her husband arrive unexpectedly, they discover Uncle Henry missing and Aunt Julie very remote.

"Suspense" was a radio drama series that captivated audiences from 1940 through 1962 during the Golden Age of Radio. Often subtitled "radio's outstanding theater of thrills," this program was a shining example of suspense thriller entertainment. It specialized in delivering heart-pounding stories, typically featuring some of the leading Hollywood actors of its era. With an impressive total of approximately 945 episodes aired over its lengthy run, "Suspense" remains an enduring classic, with over 900 episodes still in existence. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dwight-allen0/support

The network had no idea how well the series would perform - its only previous showcase was as an hour-long audition on the 1940 series "Forecast" - so running out and getting a sponsor didn't seem to be important at that particular stage. Besides, in the show's salad days, the guest stars that did appear were of considerably low wattage. But as "Suspense" grew in popularity and began to attract a more upscale acting clientele anxious to participate in “radio's outstanding theater of thrills,” finding someone to pick up the weekly tab became a top priority for CBS. Luckily, in December 2, 1943, the series found its 'angel' in the sponsorship of Roma Wines. "Suspense's" long association with Roma (and co-branded Cresta Blanca) was good for both the series and the company; a bigger budget attracted bigger guest stars and, as the program began to climb in the ratings, the company began to enjoy substantial profits. This fruitful arrangement came to an end on November 20, 1947. Roma had been admittedly seeing other programs behind "Suspense's" back and the bright array of top Hollywood talent began to dim a bit as many of the stars began to tire of the program. CBS rolled the dice and took one heck of a chance in keeping "Suspense" on the air; the network still felt that the series was popular with audiences and they agreed to sustain the program until another sponsor could be found.How serious was CBS about keeping its prestige show? Beginning January 3, 1948, "Suspense" was moved to Saturday nights and was broadcast from 8:00 to 9:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. That's right: a full hour of “Suspense.” Hour-long dramatic shows were a gamble at best; many stars tended to shun these programs - a half-hour show was grueling enough to get through - and only a few, "The Lux Radio Theater" being the best example, managed to continue on the air for very long. But Lux had a sponsor all too willing to write checks on a weekly basis...while CBS, without a sponsor to back them up, was still the sole support of "Suspense." What's more, the network learned soon enough that by doubling the show from half-hour to hour-long status, they had to double the pay of the individuals working on the show as well. (Networks, as a rule, cringe at the thought of giving money away.) To jazz up "Suspense," CBS hired actor Robert Montgomery to be the host and occasional performer, figuring that on the weeks when they had to resort to a less-than "A" list of guest stars, at least Montgomery would be around to provide a certain degree of glitter. Montgomery, at it turned out, made appearances in quite a few of the hour-long shows, including both the premiere, “The Black Curtain”, and most notably in “Night Must Fall”, which allowed him to reprise the role he had created in the 1937 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer motion picture of the same name. Many of the hour-long "Suspense" shows were movie adaptations in the "Lux Radio Theater" mold, including “Deadline at Dawn,” “Crossfire” and “Nightmare” -- the last of which was filmed in 1947 as “Fear in the Night”. There were even two productions that, it could be said, acted as previews of coming attractions: the series' 1948 productions of “In a Lonely Place” and “The House by the River” were brought to the silver screen in 1950. Several of "Suspense's" celebrated classics were also repeated during the hour-long experiment, having been lengthened to fit the new format. "Suspense's" hour-long experiment closed up shop on May 15, 1948 and, close to two months later, the show moved back to its cozy Thursday night berth in its familiar half-hour form through September 1962.00:00:00.000 = INTRODUCTION00:01:54.350 = “The Burning Court” (June 17, 1942)00:31:24.029 = The Devil In The Summer House (November 03, 1942)01:00:53.552 = The Bride Vanishes (December 01, 1942)01:30:31.934 = Till Death Do Us Part (December 15, 1942)02:00:00.615 = Nothing Up My Sleeve (January 05, 1943)02:29:24.419 = The Devil's Saint (January 19, 1943)02:58:52.578 = Last Night (March 06, 1943)03:28:25.102 = Uncle Henry's Rose Bush (June 29, 1943)03:57:52.047 = The White Rose Murders (July 06, 1943)04:27:08.240 = The Fountain Plays (August 10, 1943)SOURCES AND ESSENTIAL WEB LINKS…This episode is sponsored by http://RadioArchives.comWeird Darkness Retro Radio theme by Storyblocks.= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = ="I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness." — John 12:46WeirdDarkness® - is a registered trademark.
