The suspense video is outstanding. The theater of thrills, the master of mystery and adventure, William M. Robeson. There are many kinds of suspense. But the happiest suspense is the kind we share at this time of year with our children.
The suspense, which has its day-new-moo next Wednesday morning, the suspense of what Santa Claus is bringing for Christmas. For the little girl in the upcoming story, however, there is no such suspense. All she wants for Christmas is a dog, and a dog she is certainly not going to get.
To play this unhappy little girl, we have invited a most talented little girl to make her first appearance on radio. Already a star TV in motion pictures, seven-year-old Evelyn Rudy now adds another medium to the domain of, listen, listen then as Evelyn Rudy stars in Dog Star.
I'm sorry. Even if it isn't exactly the kind Mike was, that's all I... Please. Sorry. If she weren't such a tomboy, it'd be different.
But can you imagine getting Julia dollhouse or a painting set or a party dress? I'm sorry, Anne-an-Julie. No dog. Then you shop for her. I'm tired of roaming around like a zombie in every store in town.
You find her present. If I can't have a dog again, I just don't care what I get. I'll listen to both of you. I like dogs just as much as you do. I loved Mike too.
But Julie loves them too much. She hasn't eaten a decent meal since Mike got killed. And it's not going to happen again. We're not going to put her happiness at the mercy of another brainless pup in every idiot's speeder in town.
