Shadow of a Doubt

Luck presents Hollywood. Radio Theater brings you William Powell and Teresa Wright in Shadow of a Doubt, and is our special guest, Miss America of 1943. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.

There are connoisseurs of paintings, of wines, of furniture, and of all the other fine arts, but none quite so violent in their opinions as the connoisseurs of mystery stories. And tonight we offer these discriminating critics a collective item. A piece known to the Houdonnett fraternity is a master of suspense. And the universal picture Shadow of a Doubt

is one of his triumphs. Tonight we bring it to you with William Powell and Theresa Wright in the starring roles. We borrowed Bill from the cast of Heavenly Body, the new Metro Golden Mayor picture.

Bill made the thin man famous and became one of the screen's most versatile flutes, but this evening instead of a detective he... well, just wait. Those who sought to research and in tonight's play know how fine a performance they may expect from her.

Just the fact that she plays a girl named Charlie is a hint of the surprise and speaking of surprises, I imagine it would be a very unpleasant one if you grubbed into a store to buy a few cakes of Luxe toilet for $400.

newspaper clipping here, set in by a listener. The paper quotes a missionary in China who says that over there, one cake of luck may cost as much as $120 in Chinese money. Here we take the little comforts of life for granted, but this newspaper should make all of us appreciate a few cents. Now the footlights brighten and the curtain rises on shadow of a doubt,
