suspense. And the producer of radio's outstanding theater of thrills, the master of mystery and adventure, William N. Robeson. Whether you call it by the poetic phrase the silver cord or more proesically just mother's apron strings, smother love can louse up the life of a growing boy. Complicated with what child psychologists call sibling rivalry and the boy may cease growing altogether, at least

emotionally. Of such elements is Greek tragedy made, and as it happens the story you were about to hear. Listen, listen then as Jackie Kelt stars in Shadow on the Wall, which begins in exactly one minute. Now how many of you have heard a doctor lecture on the lining of the stomach and what you're doing to it? Well you may

think this line of gab is only for you. Why son doctors have been telling Americans this ever since we became a nation. Like a fella come up to me the other day and asked about that great American Mike Fink.

Say, is it true that Mike once ate a buffalo robe? Certainly, and with the hair on it. Well, why did he do that? Well, you see, Mike ranked so much whiskey that he destroyed the coat of his stomach, and the doctor told him that before he could get well, he'd need a new coat for it.

thought that over, and lead up his mind at a buffalo robe with hair on it was just the thing. So he sat down and swallowed one. He could drink any amount of whiskey after that, and that's a fact.

Folklore belongs to every nation's legendary past, and I guess we Americans have our share of some tall ones. And now, Shadow on the wall, starring Jackie Kalk. A tail well calculated to keep you in.
