That's R O M a Roma wines Those excellent California wines that can add so much pleasantness to the way you live to your happiness and entertaining guests To your enjoyment of every day meals Yes, right now a glass full would be very pleasant, as Roma wines bring you...

SUSPENS! This is the man in black, here for the Roma wine company of Fresno, California, who tonight from Hollywood bring an old friend at these proceedings. Mr. Charles Lawton, a star of an unusual murder study by his distinguished compatriot Miss Dorothy L. Sayers, called the Fountain Plagues.

It deals with the fortunes and misfortunes of a middle-class Englishman, but the name of Spiller lives on a little country estate with a cook and a man-servant, and in the garden, yes, a fountain. And so, with the performance of Charles Loughton as Mr. Ochibald Spiller, we again hope to keep you in... suspense!

Still, I don't want to bat it. All right, so, look out there, Sam.

Mm, look out for what? Spiller's blind is a bad-uncher, Sam. You really ought to wear glasses, you know? Don't you try and put me off. I'm putting you off. I was gonna try to keep you from getting your clothes wet, Sam.

You almost walked right into the spray of the fountain. Well, never you mind what I need glasses. I never mind your blasted panting neither. I want a straight answer to my question, Mr. Spiller. I've given you an answer. I've told you.

You've given me nothing but fluff and bluster. Do I get it all? Don't I? That's what I want to know. And you find it. I do, fella. Please. My guests are arriving. I'll talk to you tonight.
