Transcript

Sincey and Lipsen soup present in a sanctum mystery. This is your horror host at the squeaking door of the una sanctum.

Come in, come in. Hang your hat on the torture rack over there and get cozy. Tonight we've got cadences and cadabers. Murders and melodies. Well, that's all I can tell you now. No sense putting the cart before the herd is rare.

From the way you're talking, I guess we're going to have music on the program tonight. I think that's real nice. Do I, Mary? I've always loved music. Even as a child, I used to play the Death Thracellors.

No, please. I'm being serious. You know, I once won a prize for playing the piano. Yes, they gave me a lot. Don't tell me, let me get it. They gave you a lovely sterling silver medallion.

Didn't they, Mary? No, they didn't. You know very well that the only way you can get that sterling silver medallion is from the Lipton Tea people. And, ladies, it's solid sterling silver, and it's just the right size, about an inch in diameter.

It's the kind of jewelry you find at those smart shops on Fifth Avenue in New York. The medallion is decorated with a Chinese inscription, and it hung on a narrow black rayon satin ribbon. It's just what you want to brighten up your simple silk dresses and your dressy suits.

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

Send for yours tonight. Give me a pen, Mary. I'll send them a check immediately. And what's more, I write it in blood. There'll be plenty spilled here tonight. The title of our story is Musical Score.
