The Diary of Sophronia Winters

Spence, this is the man in black, here again to introduce Columbia's program, suspense. Our stars tonight are Ms. Agnes Morehead and Mr. Ray Collins. We have seen these two expert and resourceful players in Citizen Kane, the magnificent ambison in which Ms. Morehead's performance won her the 1942 film, Critics Award.

Mr. Collins will soon be seen in the Metro Golden Mayor Technicolor film, Salute to the Marine. Miss Morehead and Mr. Collins return this evening to their first love, the CBS microphone, to appear in a study in terror by Lucille Fletcher called The Diary of Suffronia Winter.

The story told by this diary is tonight's tale of suspense. If you've been with us on these Tuesday nights, you will know that suspense is compounded of mystery, suspicion, dangerous adventure. In this series our tales calculated to entreat you, to stir your nerves, to offer you a precarious situation, and then withhold a solution until

the last possible moment. And so it is with the diaries of Fronia Winters and the performances of Agnes Morehead and Ray Collins, we again hope to keep you in a sense. February 1st, St. Petersburg, Florida.

Isophronia winters have hereby begun this diary because on this date I feel for the first time that I begun to live. Diaries are no good unless one has thrilling experiences. For 40 years I've never had what could really be called a thrilling experience, but Papa's death has changed everything.

Here I am in beautiful St. Petersburg with everything to start life anew, money in my purse, two suitcases full of new clothes and a gorgeous new permanent wave. And Florida is really the land of romance.
