Yes, Roma wines taste better, because only Roma selects from the world's greatest wine reserves for your pleasure. And now, Roma wines are OMA. Roma wines present Suspents. Tonight, Roma wines bring you Mr. Lloyd Nolan in Green Eyed Monster, a suspense play produced edited and directed for Roma wines by William Speer.

Suspents, Radio's Outstanding Theater of Thrills, is presented for your enjoyment by Roma wines. That's R-O-M-A Roma wines. Those better tasting California wines, enjoyed by more Americans than any other wine. For friendly entertaining, for delightful dining.

Yes, right now a glass full would be very pleasant. As Roma wines bring you Lloyd Nolan, get a remarkable tale of... Suspents! I got to sleep pretty late. I'd been reading a book about the Civil War and I got interested in the section on Gettysburg.

There was some material there I hadn't known about. I didn't sleep very well even after I had turned off the bedlight. You know, when you're accustomed to having someone else in the house, it's the sort of an uneasy feeling to know that you're alone.

I remember hearing the clock in the front room strike four, and I must have fallen asleep. I was dreaming as I recall it about a very bloody battle between the blue and the gray. When the alarm clock went off, it was set for seven because I knew I'd had a busy day ahead.

It took me a little while to realize what it was because in the dream at that moment I'd invented a belt that scared the opposing forces right off the field. Oh, that is nice. Quiet then.

I lay warm and bed for a while, trying to remember my dream and not succeeding. When I did remember that I was alone in the house, that Margaret wasn't there to wake me up if I dozed off for just a few more minutes.
