00:00.000 --> 00:05.000
Adam Hatch presents...

00:05.000 --> 00:10.000
The Strange Dr. Weird.

00:16.000 --> 00:21.000
Good evening. Come in, won't you?

00:21.000 --> 00:26.000
What's the matter? Surely you're not nervous?

00:26.000 --> 00:31.000
Perhaps a story might calm your nerves a little.

00:31.000 --> 00:36.000
This story is about a strange cell and a strange magic.

00:36.000 --> 00:38.000
I call it...

00:38.000 --> 00:41.000
The Summoning of Chandon.

00:41.000 --> 00:48.000
In a moment, you and I will take a deep breath and step into the strange world of Dr. Weird.

00:48.000 --> 00:54.000
And while you brace yourself, I'd like to do right by my sponsor and say something nice about Adam Hatch.

00:54.000 --> 01:01.000
That's not very hard to do, especially right now with the breathtaking fall and winter vines of up to the minute Adam Hatch,

01:01.000 --> 01:06.000
now on display in the thousands of Adam stores and authorized dealers from coast to coast.

01:06.000 --> 01:11.000
Why not go buy your nearest Adam shop and take a quick look at some of that quality headgear?

01:11.000 --> 01:18.000
Believe me, when you buy an Adam, you're buying real quality and correct style, as well as perfect fit.

01:18.000 --> 01:25.000
And Adam is one of America's greatest Hatch values. Now, here's Dr. Weird.

01:25.000 --> 01:35.000
My story, The Summoning of Chandon, begins in a curious search in a room at the top of a deserted lighthouse near San Francisco.

01:35.000 --> 01:42.000
There are three men in the room. One is bound tightly to a chair, his face wet with the first variation of agony.

01:42.000 --> 01:53.000
The second is small and ferret-like. The third man is squat with a soft, healthy body and glubbery countenance that makes him look like a frog in his feet.

01:53.000 --> 01:56.000
Well, Compton, are you ready to tell us where your wife is yet?

01:56.000 --> 01:59.000
You'll never find her, Freddy. She's not as you'll reach.

01:59.000 --> 02:04.000
And he put another splinter under his fingernail, Frank. How about I make a tell us where he's got her head, pal?

02:04.000 --> 02:09.760
I've got a better idea. Yeah, I've never heard of shaggy

02:09.760 --> 02:13.000
Yeah, yeah, have you ever heard of Shandor?

02:13.000 --> 02:18.000
The old Hindu who lived down in Chinatown? Yeah, I heard plenty about him. I don't know what not to do with that guy.

02:18.000 --> 02:21.000
They tell me one little trick of his called The Summoning.

02:21.000 --> 02:26.000
He's supposed to make anybody you want come to you, even from the farthest end of the earth.

02:26.000 --> 02:28.000
You mean, he can bring him here even if we don't...

02:28.000 --> 02:33.000
Yes, but suppose you go get this Shandor. We'll have him work his spell.

02:33.000 --> 02:40.000
And no matter where Compton had his wife hidden, she'll come to us whether she wants to or not.

02:44.000 --> 02:55.000
And so, half an hour later, the door of a tiny strange little room, even out of Chinatown, slowly opened.

02:55.000 --> 02:58.000
Yes, what is it, please?

02:58.000 --> 03:07.000
Shandor? I am called by that name. My boss has got a job for you. He wants you to work him a spell.

03:07.000 --> 03:09.000
The one called The Summoning.

03:09.000 --> 03:10.000
The Summoning? Yes.

03:10.000 --> 03:14.000
That is a powerful and dangerous charm not to be lightly attempted.

03:14.000 --> 03:20.000
And yet, it has been ordained for a thousand years that I shall go with you and do as you wish.

03:20.000 --> 03:31.000
A few minutes later, Shandor, followed by Fox, was climbing the endless steps that led to the top of the deserted lighthouse, where Frog Stanton and his prisoner were waiting.

03:31.000 --> 03:35.000
Madness! This is madness! This obsession of yours is about Ellen, my wife!

03:35.000 --> 03:44.000
Yes, obsession! For five long years, I've waited for this moment, the moment when Ellen will come to me, come to me and tell me she's willing to be mine.

03:44.000 --> 03:51.000
Now, I see now that old guy tonight, painfully, slowly.

03:51.000 --> 03:56.000
That's madness, Stanton! Just because you asked it a million times and she turns you down, it would have been mine if you hadn't come along.

03:56.000 --> 03:59.000
No, no, she wouldn't. She was just sorry for you because you...

03:59.000 --> 04:01.000
I love the way I do.

04:01.000 --> 04:08.000
Like a frog. Yes. I know. She said it made her skin cold after having me touch her hand.

04:08.000 --> 04:10.000
Do you think I could forgive that?

04:10.000 --> 04:15.000
I went to prison because I was caught stealing money to have my face changed, so she liked me.

04:15.000 --> 04:19.000
I told her that. She told you and you told the police.

04:19.000 --> 04:23.000
You expect me to forgive that? Stanton, listen to me. Forget this crazy idea of revenge.

04:23.000 --> 04:26.000
Let me loose! I've told you the part of your life.

04:26.000 --> 04:29.000
It's for your wife, Ellen, to come to me gladly.

04:29.000 --> 04:34.000
Kiss me. Me, whose very touch made her skin crawl.

04:34.000 --> 04:36.000
If you want to do that, you'll die.

04:36.000 --> 04:42.000
Now, for the last time, where is she? She's where you can never find her.

04:42.000 --> 04:43.000
Never.

04:43.000 --> 04:45.000
You're a fool!

04:45.000 --> 04:49.000
Here, Stanton. Here, unconsciously.

04:49.000 --> 04:53.000
So, you think you can keep her hidden from me, don't you?

04:53.000 --> 04:54.000
What?

04:54.000 --> 04:55.000
What?

04:55.000 --> 04:56.000
What? You.

04:56.000 --> 04:57.000
Yeah.

04:57.000 --> 04:58.000
Go on and stand up.

04:58.000 --> 05:00.000
I hope you know what you're here to do.

05:00.000 --> 05:02.000
This man has called me, Bud.

05:02.000 --> 05:06.000
We have a friend, a young woman. She's lost and we can't find her.

05:06.000 --> 05:09.000
We want to bring her here. It'll be well paid.

05:09.000 --> 05:12.000
I do not use my knowledge for pay.

05:12.000 --> 05:14.000
Have you a picture of the one who is to be summoned?

05:14.000 --> 05:16.000
Yes, yes, here.

05:16.000 --> 05:19.000
Yes, she's young and fair.

05:19.000 --> 05:21.000
Now, get busy and get her here.

05:21.000 --> 05:25.000
And if your spells don't work, I'll throw you out that window down to the rocks below.

05:25.000 --> 05:26.000
Understand?

05:26.000 --> 05:29.000
Stanton has no fear of you.

05:29.000 --> 05:32.000
First, speaking intent must be lighted.

05:32.000 --> 05:35.000
Lail, lail, kum, ha, ka, ba, li.

05:35.000 --> 05:37.000
That's not stuff.

05:37.000 --> 05:39.000
Shut up, Spott. Get down below and wait there.

05:39.000 --> 05:40.000
Okay.

05:40.000 --> 05:41.000
You speak first.

05:41.000 --> 05:45.000
First, you must call the one who is wanted and ask her to come.

05:45.000 --> 05:47.000
All right.

05:47.000 --> 05:48.000
Ellen.

05:48.000 --> 05:50.000
Ellen.

05:50.000 --> 05:52.000
Come to me.

05:52.000 --> 05:54.000
Ellen, come.

05:54.000 --> 05:56.000
Ellen, come.

05:56.000 --> 05:58.000
Ellen, come.

05:58.000 --> 06:00.000
Ellen, come.

06:00.000 --> 06:02.000
Ellen, come.

06:02.000 --> 06:08.000
Ellen, come.

06:08.000 --> 06:10.000
We'll learn what happens in just a moment.

06:10.000 --> 06:13.000
First, I wonder if we could have a word with you, Dr. Weird.

06:13.000 --> 06:16.000
Yes, yes, young man. What is it?

06:16.000 --> 06:18.000
Well, your program really scared me tonight, doctor.

06:18.000 --> 06:21.000
I want you to give me something for my frenzied nerves.

06:21.000 --> 06:24.000
Just say, what's that thing you're carrying around?

06:24.000 --> 06:25.000
Is it?

06:25.000 --> 06:27.000
Yes, a human skull.

06:27.000 --> 06:29.000
Well, look, doctor, never mind about my nerves.

06:29.000 --> 06:32.000
Just go away for a minute and we'll all think about something nice.

06:32.000 --> 06:36.000
Gentlemen, I hope the next time you go by your nearest Adam Hat store,

06:36.000 --> 06:39.000
you'll find time to step inside for a brief look around.

06:39.000 --> 06:42.000
Believe me, that fall and winter line of hats just arrived

06:42.000 --> 06:45.000
really represents a fine assortment of quality.

06:45.000 --> 06:48.000
Prices, you'll notice, run from only $3.45 up to $10.

06:48.000 --> 06:53.000
Buy your size in a famous Adam Five, one of America's greatest hat values,

06:53.000 --> 06:57.000
which features the most direct, up-to-the-minute styles in genuine fur-fell.

06:57.000 --> 07:02.000
Men choose Adams because an Adam just naturally does something for a fellow.

07:02.000 --> 07:04.000
The ladies certainly agree with that.

07:04.000 --> 07:09.000
That's why so many ladies are giving their men Adam Hat gift certificates for Christmas.

07:09.000 --> 07:14.000
That way, he makes his own selection of size, color, shape at any time he freezes,

07:14.000 --> 07:19.000
just by presenting the gift certificates at any one of the thousands of Adam Hat shops

07:19.000 --> 07:22.000
and authorized dealers from close to close.

07:22.000 --> 07:26.000
This Christmas, madams, give him an Adam.

07:26.000 --> 07:28.000
Now, stop the music.

07:28.000 --> 07:36.000
Now for the rest of my story, the summoning of Shandor.

07:36.000 --> 07:39.000
In the tiny room at the top of the deserted lighthouse,

07:39.000 --> 07:42.000
an edition Shandor sounds the gong,

07:42.000 --> 07:45.000
which summons the nittings from wherever they may be.

07:45.000 --> 07:54.000
Ellen come, Ellen come, Ellen come.

07:54.000 --> 07:58.000
She comes, she is almost here.

07:58.000 --> 08:01.000
That gong, what is it?

08:01.000 --> 08:02.000
Oh, you come too.

08:02.000 --> 08:04.000
The Shandor comes.

08:04.000 --> 08:05.000
And even summoning your wife.

08:05.000 --> 08:06.000
Ellen is coming.

08:06.000 --> 08:08.000
She's almost here.

08:08.000 --> 08:10.000
No, no, that's not possible.

08:10.000 --> 08:11.000
It mustn't be.

08:11.000 --> 08:12.000
But it is.

08:12.000 --> 08:13.000
She's almost here now.

08:13.000 --> 08:14.000
No, no.

08:14.000 --> 08:16.000
She is not this case, my friend.

08:16.000 --> 08:18.000
She comes gladly.

08:18.000 --> 08:19.000
What is this?

08:19.000 --> 08:21.000
She neither seen nor hear.

08:21.000 --> 08:23.000
What is to happen?

08:23.000 --> 08:26.000
Look into my eyes.

08:26.000 --> 08:28.000
There.

08:28.000 --> 08:33.000
Now there is a boil over your senses.

08:33.000 --> 08:35.000
What is it?

08:35.000 --> 08:36.000
She is here.

08:36.000 --> 08:41.000
She whom you have summoned has come to you dressed in white and veiled as a bride.

08:41.000 --> 08:43.000
Ellen, you come.

08:43.000 --> 08:46.000
You called me and I came.

08:46.000 --> 08:49.000
Ellen, I've been waiting five years for this moment, Ellen.

08:49.000 --> 08:50.000
I come.

08:50.000 --> 08:52.000
I was glad to come.

08:52.000 --> 08:55.000
Let me lift this veil you are wearing so I can see you.

08:55.000 --> 08:59.000
Your face, your eyes, your hair.

08:59.000 --> 09:01.000
I will lift it then.

09:01.000 --> 09:03.000
No, no.

09:03.000 --> 09:05.000
Now take me in your arms.

09:05.000 --> 09:06.000
No, no, no.

09:06.000 --> 09:07.000
You summoned me.

09:07.000 --> 09:09.000
You cannot turn from me now.

09:09.000 --> 09:10.000
No, no, no, come here.

09:10.000 --> 09:11.000
I'll shoot you.

09:11.000 --> 09:12.000
I'll kill you.

09:12.000 --> 09:13.000
You summoned me.

09:13.000 --> 09:16.000
I shall remain with you as long as you live.

09:16.000 --> 09:17.000
You still come and talk to me.

09:17.000 --> 09:19.000
That sort of voice hits you.

09:19.000 --> 09:20.000
Why else are you dead?

09:20.000 --> 09:21.000
You summoned me.

09:21.000 --> 09:23.000
We shall be together always now.

09:23.000 --> 09:24.000
Always.

09:24.000 --> 09:25.000
No, no, don't actually.

09:25.000 --> 09:26.000
No.

09:26.000 --> 09:27.000
No.

09:27.000 --> 09:30.000
He summoned me and I came.

09:30.000 --> 09:32.000
Now I must go back.

09:32.000 --> 09:33.000
Go back.

09:33.000 --> 09:37.000
Yes, you must return once more from whence you came.

09:37.000 --> 09:42.000
It was a great gift that I was glad to come.

09:42.000 --> 09:45.000
Tell my husband not to dream.

09:45.000 --> 09:46.000
I was glad to come.

09:46.000 --> 09:51.000
I was sad, but now I must go back.

09:51.000 --> 09:54.000
Now, my friend, you may...

09:54.000 --> 09:55.000
Arise.

09:55.000 --> 09:56.000
Your shoulder.

09:56.000 --> 09:57.000
What happened?

09:57.000 --> 09:58.000
Oh, it's been...

09:58.000 --> 10:01.000
It's broad like one who's sore with injury.

10:01.000 --> 10:04.000
It's been a long day.

10:04.000 --> 10:07.000
Oh, it's been a broad like one who's sore with injury.

10:07.000 --> 10:08.000
They're gone.

10:08.000 --> 10:11.000
Then your wife young Gwyn and his daughter Kate.

10:11.000 --> 10:13.000
Madly but to King.

10:13.000 --> 10:16.000
She leaped to his death on the rocks below.

10:16.000 --> 10:17.000
Her face.

10:17.000 --> 10:21.000
It was horribly mutilated from the accident that she was killed.

10:21.000 --> 10:24.000
She was buried in her wedding dress and veil.

10:24.000 --> 10:27.000
She said she was glad to come.

10:27.000 --> 10:29.000
But she couldn't have come.

10:29.000 --> 10:31.000
She's dead.

10:31.000 --> 10:33.000
She's been buried.

10:33.000 --> 10:34.000
Oh, yes.

10:43.000 --> 10:46.000
Well, do you feel calmer now?

10:46.000 --> 10:49.000
Quite a powerful spell, wasn't it?

10:49.000 --> 10:53.000
So powerful that it would even pull the dead from the grave.

10:53.000 --> 10:55.000
Oh, you don't believe of where there is?

10:55.000 --> 10:56.000
I'm glad.

10:56.000 --> 10:59.000
You'll sleep better tonight.

10:59.000 --> 11:01.000
Or perhaps.

11:01.000 --> 11:03.000
Don't trust in on me again soon.

11:03.000 --> 11:05.000
I'm always home.

11:05.000 --> 11:09.000
Let's look for the house on the other side of the cemetery.

11:09.000 --> 11:12.000
The house of Dr. Weir.

11:18.000 --> 11:22.000
That man will be back in a moment with a road about next Tuesday night's program.

11:22.000 --> 11:28.000
Soon while, between now men, why not buy an Adam Hack Christmas Whip certificate for the man in your life.

11:28.000 --> 11:32.000
The Adam Hack Christmas Whip certificate come inside a miniature hack box with a miniature hack.

11:32.000 --> 11:39.000
It can be redeemed at any time at any of the thousands of Adam Hack shops and authorized dealers pre-opened.

11:39.000 --> 11:49.000
Give an Adam Whip certificate so that he may choose exactly the size, color, and shape he wants at any Adam Hack store for authorized dealers.

11:49.000 --> 11:53.000
Prices, $3.45 to $10.

11:53.000 --> 11:58.000
For Christmas, madam, give him an Adam.

11:58.000 --> 12:01.000
Now, Dr. Weir.

12:03.000 --> 12:06.000
I hope you'll drop in on me again next week.

12:06.000 --> 12:11.000
I want to tell you a story I call Death in the Everglades.

12:11.000 --> 12:16.000
A story about a young couple who couldn't wait for their uncle to die and leave them his money.

12:16.000 --> 12:24.000
They went into the Everglades together, but their uncle's friend was greater than to say it.

12:24.000 --> 12:32.000
It's because they think that the rest of the story will have to wait until your best music to ignite.

12:32.000 --> 12:47.000
Join us next week at the same time for another business with the Strange Dr. Weird.

12:47.000 --> 12:56.000
