Transcript

At the crossroads of the Empire State, this is WROWW music, Roll 59 on your Albany Dye. A tale well calculated to keep you in suspense. In a moment, act one of, at the point of an evil, starring Betty Guard and Walter Kinsella, and written especially for suspense by Joseph Cochrane.

The first portion of suspense is brought to you by Parliament Cigarettes. Listen, more and more people are smoking to this tune every day. Because Parliament is the one cigarette that gives you an extra margin.

Extra margin because Parliament puts the filter where it does the most good. Resessed a neat, clean quarter inch away. Extra margin because tobacco tastes best when the filter is reset. Join those who have found that tobacco tastes fast when the filters recess.

Smoke the cigarette with an extra margin. Parliament. Wow. George, you've said something about this terrible heat. I can't stand it. Oh, good grief, my, I'm not the blame for the weather. I didn't say that, but we can escape it by taking a cottage at the beach.

Like last year, when we got there, all you did was complain about the same heat. The fly is the hot sand, the freezing water, and the people. You just couldn't stand these awful people who cut it up the beach.

Oh, you're just making up excuses. I certainly prefer a cool beach this stifling house. I've never known such heat. This is the hottest summer I've ever known. Don't you think so, George? Well isn't it?

George, you're not answering me. Isn't this the hottest summer? No. Last summer was just as hot. Hotteries. Oh, don't be silly. Couldn't have been. We've never known he'd like this. Well, it's right here in the paper.
