DOC ACULA'S ETHER EERIES
Here I am again, folks, programs. This dept will definitely prove to you that the best in revues is not found in Forry (the foo) J. (hmm!) Ackerpuss'es Fantascience Filmart.
Quite a while ago a program called the "Black Bat" was running, & it was quite weird. It told of this fiend called the Black Bat, who was going to try to conquer the earth, & who had the Book of Thoth. There were 2 young & brave occultists, who stole the book from our friend BeeBee, but then he stole the heroine from them, who was the dawter of a scientist whom the Bat had killed. As soon as the occultists would get the girl, the Bat would get the book. This went on until it was taken off the air for some reason.
A few wks ago Rudy Vallee had a play in which Arthur Byron 9remember "The mummy"?) was the only player. It told that after the 3d World War the birthrate declined rapidly. The reason for this was said to be the fact that nature had become tired of our wars shaking the earth, & had decided to put an end to us like she did the dinosaurs. This is the firstime I have ever heard of sf's being used as pacifist propaganda on the radio.
Another play that Mr Vallee had on his program told of these 2 men & women who, after coming out of a restaurant, came into a fotografer who acted very strangely. They wanted to have their pix taken, & he told them that he could take fotos of them as they would be at some later date. He seemd to have a camera which would have a picture printed as soon as he had exposed the film. 2 of the group just lookt older; one man's picture showd him crippled, when he was perfectly healthy at the time; & one woman rcvd a blank foto. Do you get me!
A quite humorous science tale was given on first Niter several mos. ago. Started out with the old plot of a rich boy's family objecting to his marrying the not-so-wealthy girl. The boy's mother came to meet the girl & her family. Now a friend of the boy was a scientist, who had just invented antigravity pills. He gave the boy some, who put them in his aspirin tin. Then he went to the girl's house, where he laid them down unintentionally, & then went to the train to get his mother. now the girl's father got a headache, took one of the aspirins & sail d  up to the ceiling. His wife came in, & also reach for the aspirins after taking a good look at him. Now they were both on the ceiling, with the girl going frantic, because her boyfriend's mother would soon be there. The doorbell rang, & in stept the mother. She reacht for the aspirins too, after getting a look at the ceiling. The boy found out about the Bayers, & went after his scientist friend to find out how to get them down. His friend told him that the antigravity wore off in a few minutes. When he got back he was just in time to see 3 people hitting the floor quite hard. While they were on the ceiling the boy's mother got to like the girl's folks a lot, & everything turnd out fine.
I am sorry to give you no Black Chapel or Lites Out reviews, but I am very busy while these programs are on, you must know.
I will be back next month, & in the meantime-- I'll be sucking you!
