Actor's Blood

Now, Roma wines present. Actors blood, risen and towed to us by Ben Hecht and starring Frederick March. Suspense is presented for your enjoyment by Roma wines. That's R-O-M-A, Roma wines.

Those excellent California wines that can add so much pleasantness to the way you live. To your happiness and entertaining guests. To your enjoyment of everyday meals. Yes, right now a glass full would be very pleasant.

As Roma wines bring you... SUSPENS! This is the Man in Black, here for the Roma wine company of Fresno, California. To raise the curtain on a presentation unique in these weekly half-hours of suspense. Tonight from Hollywood, Roma wines bring you a star of the first magnitude, Mr. Frederick March.

And in person, one of America's foremost tellers of tales. Mr. Ben Hecht of Broadway and Hollywood, who will appear as actor and narrator in a suspense play dealing with a mysterious death and the twisted passions and loyalties of the world behind the footlights.

And so with actors' blood and with the performance of Frederick Mart supported by Ben Hecht, from whom we will hear the narrative in the author's own words, we again hope to keep you in... suspense!

Do you remember Maurice Tillio? Probably not. Only students of the theater are people old enough to have applauded the heyday of Mrs. Leslie Carter and John Drew, and the theatrical die-loads of the Divine Sarah would be likely to remember.

During the years I knew him, I saw him in harness but three times. Once in revival, once in a benefit, and the third time was the occasion of the anecdote I've set out to relate.

By that time his only claim to fame was the fact that he was a father of Marsha till you. On a summer night in 1927, Marsha made a final exit worthy of the Tileo tradition.
