Transcript

And now the Mole-A mystery sit, presented by M-O-L-L-E. Mole-A, the heavier brush was shaving cream for tender skin. Good evening. This is Jeffrey Bond, welcoming you to the program that presents the best in mystery and detective fiction.

The story I have selected for tonight's program was received with so much acclaim when we first presented it last year, that we are bringing it to you again this evening. It is a story that deserves to be ranked with the greatest, classic mystery stories of all time.

Thomas Burks, the hands of Mr. Ottermull. It concerns a Jack the Ripper sort of character who in the year 1890, terrorized the city of London with a series of brutal murders. Arnold Moss, star of the recent Broadway presentation of The Tempest.

Will Mary. Ah, pardon my ignorance, Mr. Barnes, but what is a Jack the Ripper sort of character anyway? Oh, Dan, he's a fellow who just can't help murdering. Oh, I know, like a man with tough whiskers or a tender skin.

You know, he can't help murdering himself every time he shave. That is, unless he uses molais. The heavier brushless shaving cream. Yes, sir, man, with molais, it's smooth. So smooth. It's like... So slick. It's a smooth, smooth, slick, slick shave you get with M-O-L-E.

Mole, the heavier brushless shaving cream for tender skin. That's right, mole is the cream you need if you have a wiry hard to cut beard or a tender skin. Because it is heavier, mole not only softens your whiskers, it stands them up straight, lets your razor take them right off.

So you get a smooth, slick shave every time. Yes, you shave faster, closer, easier, and you shave painlessly with mole. The heavier brushless shaving cream for tender skin. Now for tonight's moly mystery, starring Arnold Moss, the hands of Mr. Othermore.
