Gentlemen, your attendance, your generous encouragement makes possible another season of these broadcasts. The actors and musicians, the engineers and sound technicians want me to tell you how grateful in behalf of these ladies and gentlemen and of our sponsors, the makers of Campbell Soups, I promise you the best year of radio plays we know how to produce.

Ladies and gentlemen, we present tonight the beautiful, the well-beloved, with Helen Hayes as Mimsie. But first before we begin, welcome back to the Campbell Playhouse. Ladies and gentlemen, we're about to hear the story of a man who was my friend.

I have been for many years, an object of pity and contempt. I'd heard this year in a cell at Wurmow jail, in which he'd been an inmate for over 28 years. He had been originally sentenced to death over the murder of a near relative.

Later this was commuted to imprisonment for life. Yes, of all that ever lived on this earth. I am bitter, I think. The happiest and most friendly. For a great many of the facts are about to hear, I can personally vouch.

Of the supernatural parts, there is not much I can say. Be terrible. You must remember that the man who wrote this was for a time incredibly insane. And there seems to be some doubt among authorities at the prison as to whether he had ever completely recovered.

recovered at the risk of being thought to share his madness if he was mad I want you to know that I for one believe him to have been saying and to have told the truth all through as you will see down more beautiful based why should I be pleased I left here there were gardens
