Good evening fellow bowlers.

I seem to have done it again.

There isn't much to this game really,

with the advent of the automatic pin setter,

I felt there should be some compensating automation at this end of the alley.

I haven't had a sore arm since I began using this.

This will be very difficult to score.

I knocked down all ten pins the back wall and,

three small boys who were playing in the parking lot outside.

in fact I put one of the boys in orbit.

But perhaps we should get down to business,

after which we should get down to business.

THE MAN WITH TWO FACES

-But I really enjoyed that, didn't you? -I sure did.

isn't it wonderful what they can do with the bible?

Oh my goodness just look at the time. I guess I better be getting on home.

I didn't think it was gonna be such a long movie.

Aare you sure you'll be all right?

-Oh it's just a few blocks. -But it's late and you know this neighborhood.

Oh I'II be fine I'II see you tuesday bingo.

-Well all right but but do be careful. -Good night. -Good night.

Mabel how does it look? I used some of your makeup to cover up the bruise.

Doesn't seem to help much. I know, I'll use some of my good perfume. That you gave me.

Mother you think you were going to a party or something?

Well you want me to look nice don't you even if it is only for the police.

Believe me mother the police won't care how you look.

I think a woman should always try to look her best.

Ah this old purse, I haven't used it in years.

Is Leo awake?

Of course he is I told you yesterday has an appointment today.

Oh that's right. How does this dress look?

I shut the skirt just a little bit.

-It looks just fine mother. -Then I guess I'm all set.

Well look at the glamour girl.

Hey where are you going Alice you got a heavy date?

Oh I'm just going down to the precinct station to see lieutenant Meade.

Oh at this hour in the morning? Now why don't those jokers come down here?

After all we pay their salaries don't we?

Well I think they want me to look at some photographs.

And I really don't mind, I know that man's face anywhere.

I got a good look at him, and if I can help the police find him and get my purse back...

You're sure you don't want me to come with you?

now you've had quite a shock mother.

Oh I feel fine dear might as well get it over with.

Oh you don't think I have too much lipstick on, do you?

Mother...

you look fine.

Okay but take it easy don't let them bully you.

Goodbye. Goodbye.

-Oh, goodbye mom -Goodbye.

Watch come in mrs wagner. Have a seat.

Oh thank you.

Well,

-You feeling better? -Oh I feel fine I guess it was a little shocked.

Last night, he...the man,

didn't really hurt me he just wanted my purse.

I just as soon as let him have it only sort of tangled on my arm.

-Well he probably got a little panicky. -I guess we both did.

That's why I got this.

But you did see his face mrs Wagner.

Yes I'm sure I'd recognize him again.

Fine. You know it's not very often we get good witnesses like you.

Well just a few more questions and then uh we can look at some photographs.

-You live alone? -No, I live with my daughter and her husband Leo.

The apartment's registered in your name.

Oh yes I've had it for a number of years.

We had it even before my husband died.

Mabel, my daughter was born there. She and her husband have been living with me,

for about six months now, ever since they got back from California.

I see. Well there's uh no use delaying the main attraction mrs Wagner.

Why don't we go into the record room and you can take a look at our family albums.

I hope they don't give you nightmares.

Now we're gonna show you photographs of all kinds of criminals,

whom we believe to be operating in the vicinity at the present moment.

Among them of course there'll be specialists in the kind of work our friend does,

but they'll uh there'll be all kinds.

This way.

Right in here mrs Wagenr. Here we have all the albums set up for you.

Now if you'll just take a seat.

Now take your time mrs Wagner and look at all the photographs very carefully.

And don't be misled by minor changes in appearance you know things like,

mustaches, eyeglasses uh color of hair, all those things can change.

I understand.

Yeah.

I'm sorry lieutenant I just can't seem to find the man.

Well we don't expect miracles it's possible, he didn't have a criminal record he was never,

photographed by the police. Could be,

he was a drug addict needed money.

All those men those awful faces some of them so young.

-Just boys. -Well nobody ever enjoys this job mrs Wagner.

You know you've been very kind, very patient. if I could,

just prevail upon your good nature for another few minutes.

Oh, of course.

something

-Did you uh recognize someone mrs Wagner? -What?

Well I mean the way you were looking at this page,

is that the man who stole your pocketbook?

No I told you the man who robbed me was fair.

Sort of a dirty blonde.

Didn't look like that man at all.

I'm not asking for a million dollars all I want is 20 bucks.

You spend more than that on a permanent.

Well at least I get something from my money.

What are you going to have after the races are over.

And who says I'm going to the track?

Didn't you know I'm a regular detective when a guy puts,

a racing form in his pocket and then starts begging for money.

Who's begging? Nobody's begging?

You would you keep your voice down? Mother's trying to take a nap.

-Mother you up already. -I can't seem to sleep.

Well hiya mom. I was just going out to see my uh broker.

-Anything I can do for you? -No thank you Leo.

Hey mom remember what I told you?

If you ever want to invest a little money this guy can make you a bundle.

-Why even a small investment you know, like uh say... -Leo...

Yeah well,

see you later girls.

-Mabel... -What mother?

So you don't look so good, is your teeth hurt?

Oh no I'm fine dear. I was just thinking about Leo.

About Leo, what about him?

You mean about us getting a job is that it?

No dear I was just wondering when you first met him in California,

what sort of work was he doing?

Mother I have explained this to you hundred times.

Leo was in the stock market he was doing very well.

How do you think I got all my jewelry and my furs?

It's just the things are different in the East.

Yes dear I know you did tell me.

I'm just not very good at understanding these things.

I never really understood the work your father did.

He never talked to me much about it he was an old-fashioned man your father.

Yes mother.

It's so hard to really know people that background and everything.

There were things I never knew about your father until after he died.

Mother, Leo and I have been married for almost five years, and if you think...

Darling I don't mean any harm.

I just want you to be happy more than anything.

I like Leo really I do.

-Thanks. -I'm sure he's a very bright man.

I realize it isn't easy adjusting to a new city and all that.

Mother what are you driving at?

I'm not driving at anything dear.

It's been so wonderful to have you here with me.

And heaven knows there's room enough.

-You want us to leave? -No of course not.

Well if you do mother just say so.

Leo and I don't want to be a burden to you we can perfectly well live in,

some small apartment somewhere so just say the word.

Please Mabel...

darling please don't misunderstand.

You're everything in my life now.

You know that.

Yeah, I know that mother.

I'm just upset about last night that's all.

-I'm not myself. -You've got to try and forget that.

That's just the trouble I can't forget.

Well don't worry about Leo.

Leo's all right.

He made a lot of money in California.

A lot of money.

Well ms Wagner this is a pleasant surprise

I had any idea I'd see you again so soon.

It isn't about the press snatching lieutenant Meade.

-Something else. -Oh, why don't you take a seat and tell me all about it.

I don't know quite how to begin.

Well why don't you just relax? Take it easy.

-Some kind of trouble? -Oh no I wouldn't say that.

When I was looking at those photographs this morning I saw someone.

Someone I I thought I knew. Oh not the first nature, someone else.

Do you know the man's name?

Oh the name in the book wasn't familiar to me.

-It was William Graves. -Graves?

well to be honest with you ms Wagner I did notice your double take this morning.

Supposing I have one of my men bring the book in again and we'll take another look.

Oh it must be coincidence of course but when I saw that face...

Oh sorry would you check the mug...

you check the files and uh bring me everything you have on william Graves.

Mrs Wagner uh why don't we start from the beginning.

Where did you...where did you see this face before?

Well you remember I told you my daughter worked in California?

She was secretary to a film producer later he went out of business.

But that first year she met this man.

I forget his name.

Well uh go on mrs Wagner, was this Willy Graves?

I can't be sure my daughter sent me a photograph,

one time I think it was taking in Catalina.

The two of them together.

He was tall dark quite good-looking I thought oh not a movie star but nice looking.

And when I saw that photograph this morning well,

I guess I've never seen two men who looked so much the same.

I'm afraid I'm not being very clear.

You're doing fine.

-What happened to this man? -I don't know.

Oh thank you.

And uh you don't remember a thing?

I suppose my daughter might.

I didn't ask her of course, you understand.

I mean she might be very upset if she knew

the kind of man that she'd been seeing.

And after all it's a closed issue.

-You know what I mean? -Yes yes I do.

Well I don't know how an old photograph,

can uh help us find Willie Graves.

Oh thanks.

Here we are.

Mrs Wagner...

-Is that the man you say? -It's the man that looks like him anyway.

You uh still have that uh photograph?

-You know, the catalina one? -Yes I brought it with me.

It's not a very good picture it's just a snapshot.

-Is your daughter with him? -Yes that's Mabel.

-Pretty girl. -Thank you.

There is resemblance all right.

Mrs Wagner would you excuse me for one minute.

I'll be right back.

William Graves is Willie the Weeper.

It is Louis Jones born San Francisco 1925.

Wanted grand larceny Fresno, California.

One for armed robbery...

Mrs Wagner,

-Have you found out anything? -Nothing much.

I don't think you need to be worried.

-What do you mean? -Well I'll admit,

there is a resemblance in the photographs but then, you know cameras are tricky things.

You know whoever said cameras don't lie wasn't a policeman.

Well I've seen pictures of so-called identical twins,

in it when they get them side by side on the flashway.

-Then you don't think... -I think you ran across a 14-carat coincidence Mrs Wagner.

Now this man your daughter knew in California,

he could be willie Graves, or he could be five other guys.

But I don't think it's anything for you to get upset over.

Oh thank the heavens.

-You have no idea how worried I've been. -I could see that.

-You had enough to worry about this week. -Yes I guess I am.

This uh friend of your daughter,

-I guess you can tell me the truth about him now. -What do you mean?

Mrs Wagner I've been on the force for over 20 years.

I've talked to a lot of worried people.

It's hard for me to believe that you can be so concerned about a man,

your daughter knew only briefly almost six years ago.

I guess I was silly to try to fool you.

-Who is he really mrs Wagner. -My son-in-law, Leo.

I can't tell you,

how startled I was at the resemblance.

I should have realized,

my daughter couldn't love a man like that.

You look very good tonight kid.

You know if we're gonna go to that movie we better get started.

-Where do you suppose mother is? -Probably got herself a date.

Oh mother where have you been I'm starving.

Oh children you look so handsome both of you.

-Are you going out? -Oh we thought we'd go downtown to a movie.

Yeah well why don't you come along with us mom.

Maybe you wouldn't like it though it's only cops and robbers stuff.

No thank you but I've got an idea.

Why don't I call my friend mrs Buckhalter?

She works for a ticket agency. maybe she'd,

have a couple of free tickets for a play.

-Would you like that? -That'll be swell mother. -It's monday night.

She often has some good seats left over mondays.

Well there's some wonderful musicals in town.

I'll call her before it gets too late.

Oh that'll be swell mom.

you know Mabel I got the greatest mother-in-law in town.

What do you need? Oh you found my purse.

Well not exactly mrs Wagner, is your son-in-law home?

-Leo? Yes he's here, why? -We did some more checking, mrs Wagner.

What's going on here?

-William Graves I'm placing you under arrest. -Wait a minute.

-I'm sorry about this. -But you told me...

I know what I told you but that was necessary,

to prevent you from warning your son-in-law.

What's all this about?

Oh Mabel my poor darling.

You too mrs Graves. You're both under arrest.

Mrs Graves? Oh oh no.

Oh no you're making a mistake.

She didn't know about him.

Don't you understand? She didn't know what he was.

I'm sorry mrs Wagner but I'm afraid she knew all about him.

You see, they've been working together in California for the past 5 years.

When things got too hot for them they beat it out of there and came East.

Can't be true.

Mabel, please.

Tell them it isn't true.

Mrs Wagner...

it's a good thing it was a man who stole your purse.

If we were looking for a woman in the police file she would have seen her picture

Mrs Wagner was hoping her son-in-law,

would get out of the house and start doing something.

But he's now doing five to ten.

The law also has a way of catching up with me.

I refer to that statute which dictates that,

my sponsor make as many appearances as I do.

If you've been keeping score you know that I shall return.

That concludes our...

I don't mind you're leaving the room during the commercial.

But I expect you to be in your seats for my part of the program.

I shall return next week and I shall expect all of you to be here promptly.

Good night.
