Life Ends at Midnight

Suspens. The Columbia Broadcasting System brings you radio's outstanding theater of thrills, produced and directed by Anton M. Leader, and starring tonight, Miss Fay Vainter, in Life Ends at Midnight by Robert Tolman. A tale well calculated to keep you in Suspens.

Nurtured in the cradle and carried to the grave, the love of a mother for her child is an emotion all pervasive, all forgiving. Of all human relationships, this one which we celebrate on Mother's Day is among the strongest, most lasting.

And for most of us raised in the comfort and security of a happy home, no emotional tie is more warm and welcome. But there are some few mothers for whom Mother's Day represents no joyful memories, no warmth, no tenderness.

Instead, there is heartbreak and regret, unhappiness, even terror. Your mother is the woman of our story tonight, Mrs. Bates, a poor, worn woman, kindly, gentle, forgiving, resigned, but not without spirit. The story's setting, a miserable tenement apartment in the slum section of a large city, the time to day. And now, with the

performances of Miss Faye Bainter as Mrs. Bates, Tony Barrett as Walter Bates, and Norman Field as Mr. Chalmers, and with Robert The Mormon story life ends at midnight. We again hope to keep you in...

Suspen! That's right, Mom. A little sunny boy, Walter.

Remember my whistle, huh? Yes, I... Oh, but well, I didn't know... Never know when I'll turn out, am I? What's the matter? Do we have to stand out here and all? Oh, no. Come in, huh.

It's just that... Come in, Walter. Same old crummy joint. I do my best to keep it clean, Walter. Yeah, I know. Regular old mother having her. You left to clean up the whole south of Chicago before you get the filter out of this flea bag.
