"Saint Joan of the Slaughterhouses." With Peter Lorre playing Sullivan Slift and Graham.

youtube

ETA: Script!!! In English.

Google translation of the wiki entry:

Saint Joan of the Slaughterhouses, is an epic play by Bertolt Brecht and his co-author Elisabeth Hauptmann and his co-author Emil Burri. It tells the story of Johanna Dark, who wants to bring faith in God to the locked-out workers in Chicago's slaughterhouses. In view of the misery, she tries to persuade the meat industry 's leading entrepreneur, Mauler, to reopen the meat factories, but in the process finds herself getting deeper and deeper into the maelstrom of the meat bosses' economic machinations. Finally, in protest, she goes to the workers who are waiting in the snow at the disused meat yards and witnesses attempts by the workers to defend themselves against the bosses through a general strike. When they entrust her with an important message, she withholds it for fear of causing violent confrontations. This causes the strike to fail. In the end, the dying Johanna realizes that her hope in God and negotiations with the capitalists has failed and that she has only harmed the workers she wanted to help.

Broker Sullivan Slift is supposed to show Johanna the wickedness of the poor so that she loses her pity.

Search issues: “Peter Lorre” isn’t always mentioned in online details of the shows he was on, and search doesn’t always work well even when he is! It helps if you know the name/sponsor of the radio show. In a few cases I haven’t verified if Lorre really appeared, such as with that first Arch Oboler or Amos and Andy. Boris Karloff is also sometimes mistaken for Peter Lorre. :/
