The Enigma Of Big Ed

The makers of camel cigarettes present dick Powell as Richard Diamond, private detective. What cigarette do doctors themselves smoke? In a nationwide survey a few years ago, 113,597 doctors, doctors in every branch of medicine were asked, what cigarette do you smoke, doctor?

The brand name most was camel. Again and again in repeated surveys, the same preference was shown. Yes, these surveys show that more doctors smoke camels than any other cigarette. Why don't you smoke camels too?

Now we bring you another transcribed adventure with Richard Diamond, private detective, starring Dick Powell. Now let's see. I play the red nine on the black ten. Move the eight of spades off this pile, put it over here.

That gives me another king. Where's the three clubs? Oh, sneak a look under here. I... Nope, right there. Hello? I'll be with you in a minute. How many suppose that's for your club? Wait, Nick.

Ah, I'm a detective agency. Anyone for P-Knuckle? Rick, don't tell me you're still at it. You told me an hour ago you'd quit as soon as you'd won one game. Won one game? That's nice and confusing, isn't it?

Helen, baby, I wouldn't admit this to anyone but you, but I haven't even come close. How is it afraid of that? You tried stacking the deck? Helen. That's cheating. I know, but if you tried it...

Well, just once. But only in self-defense, and even that didn't help, I still lost. Well, then I'm afraid you're hopeless. Why not give it up and come over here? We could play some chance. Oh, no.

Oh, you 1,369 toothpicks now. That raid'll have to buy a lumber camp. You're there on the telephone. Me? Yeah, you the boss? Well, no, not exactly. I'm just the owner. That's good enough. If that's somebody wanting to hire you, tell them to call back.
