14:58 - The man who says, "Just a minute, Lady! What about his habeas corpus?" is Elliott Lewis, one of radio's greatest actor-director-producers, who started out as a wunderkind radio actor, when he was a teenager. If he hadn't shunned self-promotion, he'd be as famous today as Orson Welles and Arch Oboler.
He was being groomed for a movie career, and was screen-tested at least twice for the main role in "The Great Caruso". But he found on-screen work to be unnerving, and he hated all the "hurry up and wait", so he appeared in just a few movies, and appeared on TV only twice. All of his other work was in radio.

WOW. This is a little before my time, but I remember a lot of these places, like Acme, Elby’s, Vic Mar’s, Gronski’s, Ponderosa. I was surprised that the Big Boy wasn’t on the Elby’s ad, and I’m guessing this predates the Vic Mar’s ad with the creepy stop-motion crab. Lol.
