The Black Art

Listen to you and listen to present in a sanctum mystery starring Simone Simone. Evening friends of the inner sanctum. This is of course Raymond your host please come in won't you? Make yourself comfortable in a gloomy corner.

We had intended to have a real surprise for you tonight. Instead of myself we're going to have a guest ghost to act as host. But, unfortunately, this real ghost caught pneumonia and he's in a very grave condition.

The doctors have given up all hope. He's going to become alive. Well, Mr. Raymond, I must admit, I'm glad that that ghost couldn't come. It's difficult enough to talk to you, but heavens, I wouldn't know what to say to a ghost.

Oh, well, that simple, Mary. All you have to do is find out whether it's a he-ghost or a she-ghost. And if it's a she... Oh, then you compliment her on her appearance. You say darling, what a divine sheet you're wearing.

That's right, Mr Raymond. The ladies are always interested in something new to wear. And right now, I'm going to tell them about something they'll all want. It's a lovely piece of jewelry, a real sterling silver medallion about an ancient diameter.

It's the kind of jewelry you find at those smart shops on Fifth Avenue in New York. But the only way you can get it is from Liptons. The medallion is decorated with a Chinese inscription, and it's hung on a narrow black ray on satin ribbon.

That's the height of fashion this year, you know. And here's how you get the medallion. Just send 25 cents and the box top from a package of liptons, the tea with the brisk flavor, to the lipton tea people, box 92 New York City.
