Transcript

Suspense. Tonight, Suspense brings you Miss June Havoc as star. But first, may we remind you that in America's smartest homes and clubs, where fine wines are truly appreciated and enjoyed regularly, the choice is C-R-E-S-T-A, B-L-A-N-C-A, Cresta, Blanca, Cresta, Blanca.

From the finest of the vines come Crestablanca California wines, patiently created to please the knowing tongue. Let the proudest name in wine Crestablanca enrich your daily living, add luster to your hospitality. Poor Crestablanca souvenir sherry or port, or any Crestablanca wine.

There's one for every occasion, for every taste. Shenley's Crestablanca wine company live in more California. And now, Shanley brings you Radio's Outstanding Theater of Thrills, SARS-Spence! Presented by Roma Waynes, that's R-O-M-A, Roma Waynes of Fresno, California.

And starring June Habbot in Subway, a suspense play produced, edited and directed for Shanley by William Spear. The subway always dents you. I have to stand back from the edge of the platform on a train, coming in because...

But I always make myself stand way back when I'm waiting. That's how it started that night. I instinctively came back when I saw the deeming white headlight appear in the tunnel. Brushing toward me out of dark.

I made myself draw back. But what I really wanted to do was to throw myself in front of that train. The lights on the shining rails hypnotized me like the deaning eyes of a snake.

I stepped backwards in a panic, but that mob, that five o'clock mob poured in behind me and shoved and pulled me with it. I'd been pushed around all day and I had this awful cold.
