This episode is usually logged with the title "The Girl with the Flaxen Hair" which is what it means, but it's not the actual tile. This is confirmed by the fact it was announced as such at the end of the previous episode:COOPER: The music of Claude Debussy was the inspiration for next week's story which, borrowing the composer's title, I have called "La fille aux cheveux de lin" -- "The Girl with the Flaxen Hair" .. If you like charming ghost, you'll probably like her.
As well as in the original script:
ANNCR: The Mutual Broadcasting System presents "Quiet, Please!" which is written and directed by Wyllis Cooper, and which features Ernest Chappell. "Quiet, Please!" for tonight is called "La Fille aux Cheveux de Lin."
However, at least one newspaper of the time did show in it's listings as follows:
"7:30 p.m.--Quiet Please (WGN): musician meets "The Girl With the Flaxen Hair." - Wisconsin State Journal October 22, 1947
The cast consist of Ernest Chappell, Joan Lazer, Melville Ruick, and Mary Kay Simmons, with in-house musical composistions performed by Gene Parazzo.
Original broadcast was Monday, October 20, 1947 8:30PM on WOR, and again the following Wednesday, October 22, 1947 at 7:30PM over MBS, on WGN, and other mutual stations.
No recording of this episode is known to exist, and thus classified as one of the lost episodes ..
However, The script was rebroadcast as episode #104 with a different cast and retitled as "Pavane" on Saturday, June 18, 1949, at 9:00 PM over the ABC network. (WJZ listed Pavane on schedule in the Ogdensburg Journal, June 18, 1949, on Page 5)
Cast: Ernest Chappell, Anne Seymour, Don Briggs, and Joan Lazer, with Albert Buhrman (music), and William J. McClintock (Sound).
