And now stay tuned for the Mystery Program that is unique among all Mystery Program. Because even when you know who's guilty, you always receive a startling surprise at the final curtain. In the Signal Oil Program, the Whitswer.
Signal the famous Go Father gasoline invites you to sit back and enjoy another strange story. By the Whitswer. I am the Whitswer. And I know many things, for I walk by night.
I know many strange tales hidden in the hearts of men and women who have stepped into the shadows. Yes, I know the nameless terrors of which they dare not speak. And now for the signal oil company, the Whistler Strange Story devoted couple.
The big house on Orange Grove Drive seemed to reflect the merriment inside. The new Mr. and Mrs. Walter Blake were at home to friends following their honeymoon. And it was truly an occasion. Mrs. Blake had lived quite alone for several years, a widow, with only a servant girl as a companion. And now it was all changed, and Claire Blake's
friends were pleased. Please, for Claire, and pleased with the charm and manner of her new husband, the wealthy Eastern sportsman Walter Blake. Yes, an occasion. Good cause for laughter, happiness, and congratulations. Oh, and Claire darling, to think how it was such an accident that you two met, when you all, well, simply made for each other.
Oh, thank you. Thank you, man. She's right, you know. And I'd say you both made a fine catch. Well, I'm the lucky one, Mr. Shelley. Oh, make it Bob, will you? After all, Walter, the husband of our dear friend, Claire.
Well, sorry, Bob. But I repeat, I'm the lucky one. Claire's the sort of person I've been searching for for years. Thank you, dear. Mr. Blake's, uh, the telephone. Oh, excuse me, dear. Everyone, probably some long distance congratulations from my side of the fence. I'll be right back.
