Banquo's Chair

In just a moment, CVS will present its weekly program of the world's outstanding thrillers, suspense. Before we begin, the producers feel that incumbent upon him to reply here with to the many inquiries concerning the solution of last week's story of the woman on the telephone called Sorry Wrong Number.

Due to a momentary confusion in the studio, an important line cue was delivered at the wrong time, and some of our listeners were uncertain as to the outcome of the story. For them, be it known that the woman, so remarkably played by Miss Agnes Morehead, was murdered by a man whom her husband had hired to do the job.

We should also like to announce that in response to many hundreds of requests, this suspense play will be repeated within a few weeks. And now this is the man in black, here again to introduce our performance tonight of, Suspense!

Stars this evening are two distinguished gentlemen from the Hollywood sound stages, Mr. Donald Chris and Mr. John Loder. Mr. Chris and Mr. Loder are here to enact for us a strange and startling drama in which they in the interest of justice made use of an unusual method to ring a confession of guilt from a criminal. The story is by Rupert Croft Cook and is called Banquell's

chair. And so with Banquell's chair and the performances of Donald Crisp as Sir William Brent and John Loder as Arthur Grange, Sir William's friend who relates the story to us. We again hope to keep you in.

A friend. I would like you to look at this photograph. It's the picture of Sir William Brent, ex-head of the English criminal investigation. I knew Sir William well and he always terrified me. Not in the sense that he was brutal or evil, he was none of that.
