Deadline at Dawn

Suspens, videos outstanding, theater of thrills brings you an hour, a full 60 minutes of suspense. Tonight our stars, Miss Helen Walker and Mr. John Beale. Our story, Deadline at Dawn by William Irish. A suspense play produced and directed by Anton M. Leader.

If you've ever been alone in a strange big city, you know the haunting loneliness of it. And you know how the sight of a familiar face, the sound of a familiar voice, can lift your spirit high.

Even a stranger who comes from your hometown becomes a long-lost friend because he brings with him a breath of home, a flood of memories. That was the emotion that drew Bricky Coleman and Quinn Williams together.

But their meeting wasn't the joyful happy kind, for it was the beginning of longing and fear and danger. Now, with the performances of Helen Walker as Bricky Coleman and John Beale as Quinn Williams, and with William Irish's great story, Deadline at Dawn, we again hope to keep you in, Sauspenn!

Until I met him, men were just pink dance tickets to me. They were just two and a half cents worth of commission on the dime. Piers of feet that kept crowding mine all over the map, all over the floor, all over the night.

They were blank faces that could steer me any way they wanted, until their five minutes were up. Because I was a New York taxi dancer, until I met him. A girl from a small town caught and held fast in the big city, with all her dreams forgotten, and all her hopes gone.

And not caring anymore, not caring at all, until I met him. They always dimmed the lights for the last dance. Just to make the customers feel sentimental about it all. At one in the morning I was through again for the day.
