Dead of the Night

Now, Roma wines present a Spence, the dead of the night starring Robert Cullings. Suspense says presented for your enjoyment by Roma wines. 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 everyday 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 you in his first appearance in a radio drama since his enlistment as United States Army Air Force Flight Instructor, one of the screen's favorite young players, Mr. Robert Cummings.

And so the strange events which befell the young California named Jimmy Barton in the dead of the night, and with the performance of Robert Cummings, we again hope to keep you in... suspense! Helen and I had never been apart since our folks died.

Never before that summer when I got a job up at Lake Arrowhead. She was supposed to go with me, wait on tables or something. It was to be our vacation, but at the last minute she decided to stay in LA, she figured her boyfriend Steve might be coming home on a furlough.

I should have known better. My sister was such a kid, but I'd better talk me into it. And I left her there alone. That was the beginning of the whole thing. That's when she met him.

Phil Armstrong. If I hadn't gone away that summer, I guess Phil would be alive today. All during the time that I was gone, Helen didn't write much. And what letters I did get didn't seem natural.
