Death Is an Artist

Lifton tea and Lifton soup presents Inner Sanctum Mysteries starring Lee Bowman. This is your host Raymond.

Welcome to the Inner Sanctum. Come in, won't you? What are you staring at? The walls. Where you know that old saying about walls having ears? Well these walls have eyes, and a nice assortment of fingers and hands. One of them has a heart, but you can't be there. Don't mind me friends, in my old age I'm getting to be a bit of a

gore. You're getting to be a crotchety old bachelor, that's what. Who said that? Oh, Mary Bennett, hello, tell me Mary, do you think I should get married? You know, I used to have a girlfriend, but she threw me over.

She was a vampire. She said I wasn't her blood type. Mr. Raymond, please, what a silly thing to say. More and more, I'm convinced that what you need is a wife. I'd just love to see the way a wife would handle you.

Would you send me a wedding present, Mary? I sure would. I'd send you a big supply of Lipton's noodle soup. You know, I'll bet your wife would appreciate that. My goodness, in the old days, it took a woman all day to make a pot of noodle soup.

Whereas nowadays it only takes a jiffy. That is when you use Lipton's noodle soup mix. But Lipton's has got the same homemade taste, believe you me. It's got the same chickeny flavor. Yes, sir. A hot plate of Lipton's noodle soup is a grand welcome home for the whole family.

One whiff of that savory Lipton's noodle soup and folks feel relaxed and ready for dinner with a rosengood appetite. Well, now that's a very pretty picture, Mary, which reminds me our story tonight is about one of the fine arts murder. It's called Death is an Artist, an original tale by Frederick Maithill. And our star is from Hollywood, Lee Bowman, soon
