The Doll

From Hollywood by Tape, Sauspens. Tonight, March 2 auspicious occasions on Radio's Outstanding Theatre of Thrills. Tonight, Sauspens begins its 15th season on the air. Tonight, Sauspens welcomes as its producer-director, the distinguished master of mystery and adventure, William N. Robeson.

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Robeson. Good evening. On this first program of our new series, we are proud to bring you Miss Patty McCormick, the young star of the Warner Brothers picture, The Bad Seed, in a play written especially for her by Peggy Chandler.

Other stars will follow her in a succession of chilling tales of suspense. Next week, Reed Hadley in Red Cloud Mesa, based upon the recent Kalya's Magazine story, Where the Warriors Crossed. Then Charles Dickens immortal story of terror, the signal man, starring Mr. Sarah Churchill.

This is the shape of things to come in the weeks to come. We invite your apprehensive listening. We promise never to relax our efforts to chill your blood and fill your sleeping hours with dreams of horror.

We shall begin now with Patty McCormick in the doll. A play well calculated to keep you in. Sauce, buns. Miles my birthday. But I don't think my father remembers.

He didn't ask me what I wanted for a present, like he always used to, before a Paula came to live at our house. When people forget your birthday, even if it's your father, I guess that means they don't like you so much anymore.

Valerie, it's your bedtime. Just five minutes more, Paula. Daddy, may I please? When it comes to bedtime, Val, Paula's the boss. But on special nights, I'm always allowed. Is this a special night? Well, sort of.
