"The voices of people whose reality is far away, something in another life, part of another fable, just as your reality is part of another fable, and all of it part of the only fable, and the only history." From A Special Announcement by William Saroyan, in One Hundred Non-Royalty Radio Plays, 1941.

unearths some literary gems.
From Sam Spade: The Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cottontail Caper:
[I stumbled on a late-1940s radio incarnation of Sam Spade that's played for laughs. Here are some highlights from the first episode I checked out. (Transcript and audio links at bottom.)]***"Have you heard of pulling a rabbit out of a hat?""Yes.""Well, I pulled one out of a pickle."***Then he played all four of the Marx Brothers arguing with the Andrews Sisters.***"I don’t expect any trouble, but it is so valuable, I can’t take any chances. My husband picked it up in Iran. He’s in pickles, you know.""Well, you know best."***[At a costume party, where Spade is dressed as a bunny.]I brushed elbows with pirates, Northwest Mounted Police (un-mounted), a gorilla, an Arabian princess, four Pocahontas’s and assorted but historic characters from Julius Caesar to Mike Romanoff, and I was dipping a carrot into the punch bowl when a girl made her way over to me.***"When I came to this town, it was just an ordinary new pickle. Sometimes I come as Dill, sometimes I come as a Gherkin.""How jolly.""Once I came as a sweet-sour mixture.""Yeah.""And I got very confused.""Well, that’s up to you."***When I finally caught up with him ten minutes later, he was waltzing with Anne of Austria who was hanging on his every word and that was a lot of hanging.***https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7Z4j0m0ZF4http://www.radioplayerswest.org/Scripts/Sam_Spade_FMC_Caper.pdf
