The Shadow of Death

And Lipton Soup present in her Sanctum Mysteries. This is your host to welcome you in through the Squeaking Door.

We're having a party tonight for two of my favorite corpses. I call them Romeo and Juliet. They're newly deans, you know. Heh heh heh. Heh heh. She's the daughter of famous society murderer, and he's the pride of the East Side Morg.

Oh, they're so happy together in their mausoleum, built for two. And you should see the bridal casket. Shame on you, Mr. Host, making fun of such a tragedy. But Mary, it was a touching ceremony.

Of course, I stood up for the groom. Naturally, the poor fellow couldn't stand up for himself. Oh, please. It's an occasion for tears, not for laughter. That's right, Mary. Why, when the bride appeared, wearing her grandmother's shroud, everyone had to be cheered up with a lipton tea.

Now that's enough. I will not have liptons mentioned at a time like that. Lipton T is for people who know how to enjoy life. These are the folks who really appreciate Lipton's famous brisk flavor.

Yes, that word brisk. B-R-I-S-K makes a big difference when you're sitting down to a cup of hot tea. Brisk means that lipton T tastes fresh and full-bodied, never flat or wishy-washy. I wish you'd try, Lipton's folks, even if you're not a regular tea drinker, because you just don't know how good teak and be till you know how good Lipton's is.

Well, Mary, let's tee off into tonight's story. It's called The Shadow of Death, and it's an original radio play by that boogie-wiggy man, Robert Sloan. Yes, and our star tonight is Richard Whitmark, who plays the role of Howard.
