And now the Mole Mystery Theater, presented by M-O-L-L-E. Mole, the heavier brushless shaving cream for tender skin. Good evening. This is Jeffrey Barnes, welcoming you to the program that presents the best in mystery and detective fiction.
More than a year ago, we presented on this program a hard-hitting detective story entitled, Murder in the City Hall. I received many letters from you fans telling me how pleased you were with that story, and I wasn't surprised.
But that story was based on a novel that entitled Spanish Blood, written by one of the greatest of the modern mystery writers, Raymond Chandler, author of The Big Sleep and of the recent hit motion picture, Murder My Sweet.
Well tonight we're going to repeat that fine story. So here it is, Raymond Chandler's Murder in the City Hall. Well, say Mr. Barnes before we get started, let's turn the clock back to Hater Clock this morning.
You know, Hater Clock, the time of morning that lots of men hate because they have to shave. That is, except the man who shaved with mole, the heavier brushless shaving cream. Yes, sir, with mole, it's smooth.
So smooth. It's like, so slick. It's a smooth, smooth, slick, slick shave you get with M-O-L-L-E. MOLAY, the heavier brushless cream for tender skins. That's right, MOLAY is the shaving cream that's heavier, the cream that's made for a wiry hard to cut beard or tender skin.
Because MOLAY is heavier, it not only softens your whiskers, it stands them up straighter and lets your razor clip them off close and clean. So you shave faster, closer, easier, and you shave painlessly with MOLAY, the heavier brushless cream for tender skins.
