Five Canaries in the Room

This is the man in black, here again to introduce Columbia's program, suspense. If you have been with us on these two denights, you will know that suspense is compounded

of mystery and suspicion and dangerous adventure. In this series are tales calculated to intrigue you, stir your nerves, to offer you a precarious situation and then withhold a solution until the last possible moment. And so with five canaries in the room and the performances of owner Munson as Anita, also Masna Sipi, and with Lee Bowman as Ronald Denham who tells the story, we again hope to keep you in,

suspend. The trouble was, you see, that a whole apartment vanished. It's true. A flat disappeared straight out of that apartment house, and the dead man disappeared with it. No, I'm not crazy and in spite of what they said I hadn't taken too many drinks you see I was getting married to Anita in another two weeks and Jimmy Westlake gave a

bachelor party for me or hanged it's a situation that might have happened to you the party was at the old cap and bells club on Lower Fifth Avenue and it wasn't a brawl Jimmy Westlake was in the chair I admit but nothing could have been more quiet more dignified oh oh oh man at the chairman wants to say something

gentlemen this is a solemn occasion those dopes over there will kindly get away from a panel and sit out of the table I have another choice to propose excuse me mr. West excuse me please say excuse me mr. Westlake but you ain't got I'm busting glasses on this tool, Steve.

And why shouldn't we bust the glasses on, Kato? Why shouldn't we bust the glasses? Oh, but, Mr. Westlake, if you keep on busting the glasses, there ain't gonna be no glasses left. From that sad eventuality on Kato, we will simply start busting the plates.
