Roma Wine present, suspense. Roma Wine made in California for enjoyment throughout the world. Salud! Your house in Europe. Roma Wine hosts the world. The wine for your table is Roma Wine made in California for enjoyment throughout the world.
This is the man in black here to introduce this weekly half hour of suspense. Tonight from Hollywood we bring you a star Mr. Orson Welles. This will be the first of two consecutive performances by Mr. Welles, in which he will appear as the protagonist of Kutz Yodmak's novel, Donovan's Brave.
