THEATRE FIVE, TONY ROBERTS, JEAN SHEPHERD

This Tuesday overnight, Feb 11 into 12 from 1 to 3 am in THE DUSTBIN OF HISTORY, we can squeeze in another episode of THEATRE FIVE, but no time for LIGHTS OUT this morning so that we have time to bring you a salute to Tony Roberts with an episode of THE CBS RADIO MYSTERY THEATRE, and a lost JEAN SHEPHERD episode from the Matinee House Collection: “Fleabag Memories - Trapped in the John”” from Nov 18, 1969. The program is heard on WBAI-NY 99.5 FM and on the stream at wbai.org.

“Fleabag Memories - Trapped in the John” Tony: Eng

Praise for the potato chip

April is the cruelest month

The bigger the newspaper, the shorter the name.


Clipping: wedding news: a live cupid, white doves, pure slob art.

music "In the Good Old Summertime" (second reference indicating this is a rerun)

It's midweek, just acting silly

Boodle-Am Shake with kazoo

another clipping - Harvard news

Bad puns

Woman goes into men's room, comes out embarrassed.

Shep tells of the time he was trapped in the Lady's Room.

Doors were only marked with Zeroes - One or two. Shep makes a bad guess!

"In The Good Old Summertime" again.

In Europe, women work in the Men's Room.
