ON THE AIR: October 5, 1947

  Another foolish husband who wants his wife's inheritance for himself and thinks that he can employ Lamont and Margot as witnesses to her growing insanity.  Gadzooks, it all goes awry.  Who'd of thunk it?  

  A bit of trivia surrounding "The Curse of the Gypsies" was found in the marvelous "The Shadow: The History and Mystery of the Radio Program, 1930-1954" by Martin Grams, Jr.  If you'll notice my cover has the air date as October 12, 1947 but the program you are listening to is listed as having aired October 5, 1947.  Why the discrepancy?  The World Series was airing the 5th (Brooklyn Dodgers beat the Yankees 8-6 to force Game 7 the following night.  Yankees prevail to win the Series) and bumped this episode to the following week.
