John Dunning Quote
In fact, the humor was extraordinary. The narrator, Thomas Hyland, was played absolutely deadpan by Lou Merrill. Over the sound of rainfall came his droll voice. That’s the way it sounded when it rained, because the room was just below gutter level, and the rainwater rushed by the room’s only window, and many lodgers caught cold in this room. They were lucky. Many other lodgers wound up on dissecting tables. They were murdered, by Mr. Burke, who smothered, and by Mr. Hare, who held. So tonight, my report to you, If a Body Needs a Body, Just Call Burke and Hare. Other stories had similar titles: John Hayes, His Head, and How They Were Parted; The Younger Brothers—Why Some of Them Grew No Older; and Good Evening, My Name Is Jack the Ripper.
