Transcript

Suspense. Presented by Roma Wines. Made in California for enjoyment throughout the world. Suddle your health in your. Roma toast the world. The wine for your table is Roma. Made in California for enjoyment throughout the world.

This is the man in black here for the Roma Wine Company of Fresno, California, to introduce this weekly half hour of suspense. Tonight in Hollywood, Roma brings you the MGM star, Mr. Charles Loughton. The suspense play which stars Charles Loughton, and which is produced and directed by William Espier, is called Wet Saturday.

This remarkable and sardonic story is rather difficult to describe. It, well, it most certainly isn't a hoo-dunnet. Is it, Mr. Loughton? No, no, it's a definite isn't. The question involved is not a total matter of who done it.

It's a matter of whether or not the who who done it is going to get it in the neck. And if not, then who is, regardless of who actually done it, it's very complicated. Very well put, sir.

And before the curtain rises on suspense, will you eavesdrop with me a moment? Dinner is over. A delightful dinner in one of the great homes of a land far to the south. And one of the guests is complimenting his host.

Hara, who will your reputation as a host grows with each of your magnificent dinners? That superb wine tonight where did you find such a perfection? I will tell you a great secret. When I visited our good neighbor in the United States, I tasted the wines of that California and knew instantly it was a great wine country.

And I learned that some of the very choices, minions produced the wine we enjoyed tonight. Roma wine. Our good neighbor to the south is right. Our own sunny California provides perfect conditions of climate and soil to produce some of the world's finest wines.
