Transcript

It's time now for Mr. Keene, Tracer of Lost Persons. Ladies and gentlemen, Aniston and Colonels present Mr. Keene, Tracer of Lost Persons, one of the most famous characters of American fiction in one of radio's most thrilling dramas.

Tonight and every Thursday at the same time, the famous old investigator takes from his file and brings to us one of his most celebrated missing persons cases. Tonight's case is entitled The Silver Dagger Murder Case.

When you think of a headache, think of Aniston. When you have a headache, get Aniston. Aniston is like a doctor's prescription. That is, it contains not just one, but a combination of medically proven active ingredients.

It gives incredibly fast, effective relief from the pain of headaches, neuritis, or niralgia. Millions have turned to Aniston tablets for this reason. If you are one of those who have not already been given Aniston by your own physician or dentist, let me urge you to try it.

Results will surprise you. For most effective relief, you is only as directed. I'll repeat the name, Aniston, A-N-A-C-I-N. All drug counters have it. Now for Mr. Keen and the Silver Dagger murder case. Our scene opens in a three-story privately-owned white-stone house in Metropolitan, New York.

On the first floor in a handsomely furnished study decorated with curios for many parts of the world, a beautiful woman sits at her desk, deeply engrossed in writing a letter, unaware that death is lurking just outside her door.

And this is to tell you that we must not see each other again. Apparently you misjudged my motives and made a grave mistake. I am not in love with you and I never was. Good luck and the best of everything.
