Uncle Henry's Rosebush

This is the man in black, here again to introduce Columbia's program, suspense. Our starring Hollywood cast of characters reads as follows for tonight. As Anjuli, one of those stark, severe and terrifying women who is encountered ever so often along the grimmer outposts of the American countryside, Miss Agnes Morehead.

As Carolindin, the girl who returned to a scene of childhood happiness, found terror living in the house, Miss Ellen Drew. As Paul Carroll's husband who had his own ideas as to the explanation of these strange events, Mr. Ted Reed, a first radio play by Larry Roman called Uncle Henry's Rosebush is tonight's tale of suspense.

If you have been with us before, you will know that suspense is compounded of mystery and suspicion and dangerous adventure. And the cities or tales calculated to intrigue, to stir your nerves, to offer you up a carrier situation and then withhold a solution until the last possible moor.

And so it is with Uncle Henry's rose bush, and the performances of Agnes Moorhead is and Julie, Ellen Drewers' carol and Ted Reed is poor. We again hope to keep you in, suspend. I shall tell you the story exactly as it happened.

There's no use pretending. I'll never forget, and I know I'll not awake and find it all a dream. It's real, and for the rest of my life, I shall know it's real. Paul was to have his first vacation since we were married.

I suggested we visit my Aunt Julie in Uncle Henry who had a small farm upstate. They had always been very kind to me. When I was a child, I used to spend my summer vacations with them.
