Your twice as sure with two great names. Frigidaire and General Motors. Frigidaire presents Herbert Marshall as the man called X. A revelerist mystery, intrigue, romance, and all the strange and dangerous places of the world.
There you will find the man called X. And our Frigidaire presents Herbert Marshall as Ken Thurston, the man called X. Anyone looking for Ken Thurston in New York takes on quite a job.
There's one spot though where he's pretty certain to turn up sooner or later. And that's Barry McCarthy's original turkey size. Tell his it hot enough that I'd make it a party with the person. Not enough.
Barry, I'll never use another steam clam as long as I live. Ooh, thank you, sir. So what, are you a, are you a friend of the clams? Hello? Mr. McCarthy? Why, Mr. Seldschmidt? Oh no!
Good morning. I'm in a very big hurry. I've got to find Mr. Thurston. If you know maybe? Well, it's a massive... Come on in, Peggong. I'm quarter. Huh? Oh, come on, Mr. Thurston. You don't have any clothes on.
I'll take him off in the steam room. That's an old habit of mine. Oh, oh. Mr. Thurston, I'm going to make your millionaire. Fine. How much is going to cost me? No, over 30 thou.
Huh? Not anything in a long run. Okay, you're gonna have him got 30 thou and I don't feel like a long run. I have him with that power with him. But, Mr. Thurston, it's like shooting fish in a bathtub. You could at least listen to me tell it to you.
Sure, my name. Well, this morning I get a letter from my cousin Zilda in the Rio de Janeiro, that's in South America. So I've heard, yeah. Some artist named Oscar Do told her confidential, of course, that a painting called The Cynics can be bought for about $30,000.
