Transcript

Lipton tea and Lipton show presents Inner Sanctum Mystery Starring Miriam Hopkins. Good evening, friends of the Inner Sanctum. This is your whole stream, and ready, as always, to provide you with your weekly ration of screams, giggles, and blood.

All in the spirit of gentle fun, I have no other object in mind. Except to reduce you to snivelling wrecks of nerves and shutters. Have you got a white sheet handy? You might wrap it around yourself in case a ghost shows up.

You'll think you're in the business and pass right on through you. So, Mr. Raymond, don't be so silly. You know there are no such things as ghosts. Who said that? Oh, heaven. Oh, Mary Bennett.

So you don't believe in ghosts, huh? And, uh... What's that standing behind you, huh? Oh, you shouldn't have done that frighteningly that way. Shame on you. Oh, I'm sorry, Mary. Can I make a man's?

Well, you might... You might tell the folks how much you enjoy, Lipton T. Oh, gladly, gladly, a friend's. Just the other day a ghost and I were having a conversation about Lipton T. Now, you're here here. Enough of that. Nobody is interested in what you and the ghost said about Lipton T.

No. Let's talk about real people and the solid pleasure they get from Lipton. They drink it at meal times, they serve it when friends drop in for a visit, and of course they often brew themselves a cup of Lipton during the day, just because it's so nice to relax and enjoy that famous brisk flavor.

And by the way, that word brisk, B-R-I-S-K, is one that tea experts use. Brisk means that Lippins always taste tangy and brazen. It's never flat or wishy-washy. Yes, you just don't know how good he can be until you know how good Lippins is.
