  Speaker 2: Powell and Olivia de Havilland in Suspicion. Ladies and gentlemen,
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: your producer, Mr.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Cecil B. DeMille.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. Not long ago, a
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: noted editor sat down to figure out what he called
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: the basic elements of human interest. That is, the things
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: that interest people most and motivate their thoughts and actions. Love,
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: of course, was at the top of the list. And
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: close after love came fear. And then, curiosity. Tonight in
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: the Lux Radio Theater play, the RKO screen hit Suspicion.
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: We have a mixture of these elements.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: Two people very much in love, whose lives are shadowed
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: by a dark fear and bitter curiosity. And out of
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: this combination comes what I think you'll agree is one
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: of the most absorbing dramas of our time. And to
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: do full justice to it, we have as our stars
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: that able master of mystery, William Powell, and the ever-versatile
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: and lovely Olivia de Havilland. In just a moment, we'll
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: start to satisfy your curiosity. But first, don't forget that
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: we want you to satisfy our curiosity on an important matter.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: Our 10th anniversary celebration, four weeks from today. We'd like
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: you to help us select the play and stars you
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: want to hear on that eventful date, October the 16th.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: Write your choice on a postcard, address it to me
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: at Post Office Box 9, Hollywood 28, California. Your suggestions
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: and your interests are what makes the Lux Radio Theater
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: a truly national institution. Just as your purchases of Lux
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: Toilet Soap help raise this curtain for you every Monday night.
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: So you really get... Two prizes in one package. A
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: fine product and fine entertainment. The clock is pointing now
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: to curtain time. And here's the first act of Suspicion,
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: starring William Powell as Johnny and Olivia de Havilland as Lena,
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: with Charles Irwin as Beaky.
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: Let me go.
• 3:22
  Speaker 7: Let me go.
• 3:23
  Speaker 8: Don't be a little fool. What's the matter with you?
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: Let me go.
• 3:25
  Speaker 9: Let me go.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: On a hilltop overlooking the English countryside, the trees bend
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: low before the moaning wind. Smoke-gray clouds weave swiftly across
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: the smoke-gray sky. Against the sky are silhouetted the figures
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: of a man and a woman. The man's arms are
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: about her shoulders. She struggles wildly, frantically, then breaks away. Again,
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: his arms reach out. Her hands are caught and held
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: as in a vice.
• 3:58
  Speaker 10: Ha, ha, ha.
• 4:02
  Speaker 8: What did you think I was trying to do, kill you?
• 4:04
  Speaker 8: Nothing less than murder could justify such a violent self-defense.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: Look at you.
• 4:08
  Speaker 7: Let me go.
• 4:09
  Speaker 8: Oh, I'm just beginning to understand. You thought I was
• 4:13
  Speaker 8: going to kiss you, didn't you?
• 4:14
  Speaker 7: Weren't you?
• 4:15
  Speaker 8: Of course not. I was merely reaching around you, trying
• 4:18
  Speaker 8: to fix your hair.
• 4:19
  Speaker 7: What's wrong with my hair?
• 4:21
  Speaker 8: Well, I'm glad you asked me that. It would have
• 4:23
  Speaker 8: been extremely discourteous for me to bring the subject up.
• 4:25
  Speaker 7: Are you serious?
• 4:26
  Speaker 8: Of course I'm serious.
• 4:28
  Speaker 9: You.
• 4:29
  Speaker 7: You always give me the feeling that you're laughing at me.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: No.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: I give you my word.
• 4:33
  Speaker 7: What's wrong with my hair?
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: Well, let me show you.
• 4:36
  Speaker 8: Now, don't back away. I'm not going to hurt you.
• 4:39
  Speaker 8: Let me see.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 4:42
  Speaker 8: This will do it. What are you thinking of?
• 4:45
  Speaker 7: A week ago, I'd never even seen you.
• 4:48
  Speaker 8: Oh. Now, here we are on a Sunday morning missing
• 4:51
  Speaker 8: church while I unbraid your hair.
• 4:55
  Speaker 7: I think you've done enough fooling with my hair.
• 4:56
  Speaker 8: Yeah. Got a mirror? You look splendid.
• 4:59
  Speaker 7: I must be quite a novelty by contrast to the
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: women you're photographed with.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: Hmm?
• 5:04
  Speaker 7: In the newspapers.
• 5:06
  Speaker 9: Oh.
• 5:07
  Speaker 8: Well, how do you like it here? Now, don't screw
• 5:09
  Speaker 8: your face up like that. You look like a monkey.
• 5:11
  Speaker 8: What does your family call you, monkey face?
• 5:14
  Speaker 7: I'll have to go now. I shall be late for luncheon.
• 5:17
  Speaker 10: Anyway, if my father saw me come home both late
• 5:19
  Speaker 10: and beautiful, he.
• 5:21
  Speaker 7: Might have a stroke. THE END.
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: Are you sure Miss Lena isn't in her room, Burton?
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: I knocked her just before I announced lunch.
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: She said she was going to church.
• 5:37
  Speaker 11: Oh.
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: What were you saying just before, my dear?
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: About Lena.
• 5:40
  Speaker 7: I do wish she'd get married, Stanley.
• 5:43
  Speaker 8: I don't believe Lena will ever marry.
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: She's not the marrying sort.
• 5:46
  Speaker 8: Anyway, she's no need to worry. There'll be enough to
• 5:49
  Speaker 8: take care of her.
• 5:50
  Speaker 7: I suppose you're right.
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: I'm afraid she is rather spinsterish.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: What's wrong with that?
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: The old maid's a respectable institution.
• 5:57
  Speaker 8: And Lena has intellect and a fine, solid character.
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: Sorry I'm late. Oh, Lena, dear.
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: Come and sit down.
• 6:04
  Speaker 8: Oh, Lena.
• 6:05
  Speaker 12: What kept you so long.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: At church, dear?
• 6:07
  Speaker 7: I didn't go to church. I went for a walk.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: A walk?
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: With a man.
• 6:11
  Speaker 7: A man? Yes, his name's John Asgard.
• 6:14
  Speaker 13: Tom Asgard's boy?
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: How did you meet him?
• 6:17
  Speaker 8: Pity he's turned out so wild. Rough luck on Tom.
• 6:20
  Speaker 7: What do you mean?
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: Well, he was turned out of some club for cheating
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: at cars, wasn't he?
• 6:24
  Speaker 7: I don't know. I didn't ask him.
• 6:26
  Speaker 8: Something unpleasant, anyway.
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: What's he doing down here?
• 6:29
  Speaker 7: He's staying at Pence Hayes. I shouldn't have thought Lord
• 6:31
  Speaker 7: Middleton would have had him there if he'd ever been
• 6:33
  Speaker 7: turned out of a club for cheating.
• 6:34
  Speaker 8: Well, perhaps it was a woman.
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: He was correspondent or something, I believe.
• 6:38
  Speaker 8: Or ought to have been correspondent.
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: Well, anyway, I'm going to see him again this afternoon.
• 6:42
  Speaker 7: He's calling for me at three.
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: Miss Lena, you're wanted on the telephone. Oh.
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: Thank you, Bertie.
• 6:49
  Speaker 13: Tandy.
• 6:50
  Speaker 7: She seems quite excited.
• 6:52
  Speaker 12: Do you suppose.
• 6:52
  Speaker 8: Hello?
• 6:55
  Speaker 7: Oh, hello, Johnny.
• 6:56
  Speaker 13: Johnny?
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: What? Oh, yes, a long time ago.
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: When are you coming at.
• 7:02
  Speaker 7: Oh, you can't. Oh, yes, of course I understand. Yes,
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: please write. And thank you for calling.
• 7:10
  Speaker 9: Goodbye.
• 7:12
  Speaker 14: Hello?
• 7:18
  Speaker 15: Yes, this is Miss McLeod Law.
• 7:21
  Speaker 7: A telegram.
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: Will you read it, please?
• 7:24
  Speaker 7: I will see you, yes?
• 7:26
  Speaker 15: Thursday, yes.
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: At Beecham Hunt Ball.
• 7:30
  Speaker 15: Signed, Johnny.
• 7:33
  Speaker 7: Yes, I have it.
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: Oh, Johnny.
• 7:44
  Speaker 8: I believe this is our dance, isn't it? Hello, monkey face.
• 7:47
  Speaker 7: Hello.
• 7:48
  Speaker 8: Hello, monkey face.
• 7:50
  Speaker 7: Hello, Johnny.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: Come on, we're getting out of here.
• 7:53
  Speaker 7: But we can't.
• 7:54
  Speaker 8: Of course we can. This way, murky face.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: Johnny, where are we going?
• 7:57
  Speaker 8: Which is your car?
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: This is ridiculous. It's over there.
• 8:01
  Speaker 15: Good.
• 8:01
  Speaker 8: Come on. Tell me, have you ever been kissed in
• 8:12
  Speaker 8: a car before?
• 8:13
  Speaker 13: Johnny.
• 8:14
  Speaker 8: Johnny what?
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: You mustn't joke with me.
• 8:17
  Speaker 7: I'm no good at joking. I don't know how to flirt.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm not joking. I'm serious.
• 8:21
  Speaker 8: Have you ever been kissed in a car?
• 8:24
  Speaker 12: Never.
• 8:24
  Speaker 8: Hmm. Would you like to be?
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 8:30
  Speaker 8: Well, you're the first woman I've met who says yes
• 8:32
  Speaker 8: when she means yes.
• 8:35
  Speaker 7: What do the others say?
• 8:37
  Speaker 8: I don't know anything but yes.
• 8:39
  Speaker 7: But they kiss you.
• 8:40
  Speaker 8: Well, usually.
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: Have there been.
• 8:43
  Speaker 8: Have there been what, monkey face?
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: Have there been many.
• 8:48
  Speaker 8: Oh, I'm afraid so.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: Quite a few.
• 8:50
  Speaker 7: Are you always frank with them like this?
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: No. No, not particularly.
• 8:55
  Speaker 7: Then why are you frank with me?
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: Because I'm different?
• 8:59
  Speaker 8: No, it isn't that. I'm honest because with you, I
• 9:03
  Speaker 8: think it's the best way to get results.
• 9:06
  Speaker 7: Johnny, I hope I'm not saying the wrong thing. But
• 9:11
  Speaker 7: I love you.
• 9:11
  Speaker 8: No, you haven't said the wrong thing, monkey face. I
• 9:16
  Speaker 8: think I'm falling in love with you, too. But I
• 9:18
  Speaker 8: don't quite like it. That's why I stayed away from
• 9:21
  Speaker 8: you for a week.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: I was afraid of you.
• 9:24
  Speaker 8: I never thought it would happen like this.
• 9:26
  Speaker 7: Neither did.
• 9:29
  Speaker 14: I.
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: Dear mother and father.
• 9:39
  Speaker 8: Johnny and I were married last night. Married? We're off
• 9:42
  Speaker 8: for a month's honeymoon on the continent. Please forgive me.
• 9:45
  Speaker 8: I love him very, very much.
• 9:48
  Speaker 9: Just put those scripts there.
• 9:59
  Speaker 8: Let's go, darling. How do you like your new house?
• 10:01
  Speaker 13: Oh, darn.
• 10:03
  Speaker 8: Because if you don't like it, just blame it all
• 10:04
  Speaker 8: on Mr.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: Bailey here.
• 10:06
  Speaker 8: He rented the house while we were on our honeymoon.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: Yes, sir.
• 10:08
  Speaker 8: He even decorated the place. But if you do like it.
• 10:11
  Speaker 7: Oh, I adore it.
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: I'm mad about it.
• 10:13
  Speaker 8: Ah, well, in that case, you're talking to the right man.
• 10:16
  Speaker 8: Because I engaged Mr. Bailey, didn't I, Mr. Bailey?
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: Quite right, Mrs.
• 10:19
  Speaker 8: Aysgarth.
• 10:20
  Speaker 7: Oh, Johnny, you're a genius.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: Uh, Mr.
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: Aysgarth, I still have to be getting along now, so, uh,
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: What shall I do about the bill?
• 10:26
  Speaker 8: Oh, just drop it on that pretty little table on
• 10:31
  Speaker 8: your way out, old boy.
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: Oh, yes. Thank you, Mr. Aysgar.
• 10:34
  Speaker 8: Thank you, Mr. Bailey.
• 10:35
  Speaker 7: Oh, Johnny, I never dreamt I'd ever have such a
• 10:38
  Speaker 7: gorgeous place. Are you sure you can afford it?
• 10:41
  Speaker 8: Here, look. Just press that button there on the phonograph.
• 10:44
  Speaker 8: There we are. My dance, I believe.
• 10:49
  Speaker 11: Oh, yes.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: Where are we?
• 10:52
  Speaker 7: At the Hunt Ball.
• 10:53
  Speaker 8: Where else? In Venice.
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: And?
• 10:56
  Speaker 7: And Naples and Capri and Nice.
• 11:00
  Speaker 10: And?
• 11:01
  Speaker 7: Paris.
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: Paris. I beg your pardon, sir.
• 11:04
  Speaker 8: Yes? Oh, darling, this is... Oh, I'd forgotten your name. Ethel, sir.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Oh, yes.
• 11:11
  Speaker 8: Well, Ethel?
• 11:11
  Speaker 15: A telegram for you, sir.
• 11:12
  Speaker 8: Oh, thank you, Ethel. What do you think of Ethel?
• 11:16
  Speaker 7: Oh, she seems perfect.
• 11:19
  Speaker 8: Hmm.
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: Hmm.
• 11:22
  Speaker 7: It isn't bad news, is it?
• 11:24
  Speaker 8: No, no, no. It's from an old friend of mine.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Stupid fellow.
• 11:26
  Speaker 8: He wants a thousand pounds. You couldn't spare a thousand.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: Could you?
• 11:30
  Speaker 7: A thousand? What does he want it for?
• 11:32
  Speaker 8: I don't know. Probably because I borrowed it from him.
• 11:36
  Speaker 7: Borrowed it?
• 11:37
  Speaker 14: Why?
• 11:38
  Speaker 8: Because I was going on a honeymoon with the loveliest
• 11:41
  Speaker 8: girl in the world. I wanted her to be happy.
• 11:43
  Speaker 7: Didn't you have any money of your own?
• 11:45
  Speaker 8: No, not a shilling.
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: But I thought... I had the impression.
• 11:51
  Speaker 7: Johnny, are you... are you broke?
• 11:54
  Speaker 8: Lucky face, I've been broke all my life.
• 11:57
  Speaker 7: Why didn't you tell me?
• 11:59
  Speaker 10: And whatever made you take this extravagant house?
• 12:02
  Speaker 8: Well, I didn't think you'd want to live in a shack.
• 12:04
  Speaker 8: A girl like you is going to come into plenty
• 12:06
  Speaker 8: of money someday.
• 12:08
  Speaker 7: Wait a minute. I can't quite get this into my head.
• 12:11
  Speaker 7: Were you thinking of my inheritance when you... Oh, I
• 12:14
  Speaker 7: don't know what to say.
• 12:15
  Speaker 8: Oh, my darling, really. Isn't it silly to spend the
• 12:19
  Speaker 8: first years of our lives waiting? Why not be comfortable now?
• 12:23
  Speaker 7: Johnny, I'm just beginning to understand you.
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: You're a baby.
• 12:29
  Speaker 7: Oh, I know you can marry me for my money,
• 12:31
  Speaker 7: but my income will never pay for all this. Never.
• 12:35
  Speaker 8: Well, what about your father?
• 12:37
  Speaker 7: Well, I couldn't possibly ask my father or even mother.
• 12:39
  Speaker 7: You saw how restrained she was when she met us
• 12:40
  Speaker 7: at the station.
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: Anyway, you wouldn't.
• 12:43
  Speaker 15: Actually want to live on your wife's allowance.
• 12:44
  Speaker 11: Would you?
• 12:45
  Speaker 8: Of course not, darling.
• 12:46
  Speaker 12: Well, then.
• 12:47
  Speaker 8: Well, I suppose if the worst comes to the worst,
• 12:51
  Speaker 8: and there was no other way out of it, well,
• 12:53
  Speaker 8: I suppose I'd have to.
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: What?
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: Well, borrow some more.
• 12:56
  Speaker 8: I haven't touched old Middleham yet. He ought to be
• 13:00
  Speaker 8: good for a month or two's housekeeping.
• 13:02
  Speaker 7: I think you must be mad.
• 13:04
  Speaker 8: Now, darling, let's not.
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: Johnny, listen to me.
• 13:07
  Speaker 7: Well, there's going to be no more borrowing.
• 13:10
  Speaker 8: Well, what else is there to do?
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: You've got to go to work.
• 13:13
  Speaker 8: Work.
• 13:15
  Speaker 7: Yes, work.
• 13:16
  Speaker 8: You mean put on old clothes and go out with
• 13:18
  Speaker 8: a shovel?
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: Don't be flippant.
• 13:21
  Speaker 8: Well, what do you mean? I'm afraid you're a bit
• 13:24
  Speaker 8: of a dreamer, darling. You realize that in order to
• 13:26
  Speaker 8: be a plumber or a carpenter or an electrician is.
• 13:31
  Speaker 8: Darling, you haven't been around.
• 13:33
  Speaker 7: There are all sorts of jobs, Johnny.
• 13:36
  Speaker 8: Well, I'm broad-minded. Let's have some tea and talk it over.
• 13:38
  Speaker 8: We can make out a list of jobs. Might be fun. Oh,
• 13:42
  Speaker 8: who's that? It's right there behind you, darling. Hello?
• 13:45
  Speaker 7: Oh, hello, Mother.
• 13:48
  Speaker 15: Oh, yes, yes, it's wonderful.
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: A most beautiful house. Would you tell Father how badly
• 13:53
  Speaker 7: I felt? Oh, he is?
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: Oh, wait.
• 13:58
  Speaker 7: Wait a minute till I tell Johnny. Johnny. Yes? Father
• 14:01
  Speaker 7: is sending us a wedding present.
• 14:02
  Speaker 10: No.
• 14:03
  Speaker 15: Mother told him how happy I looked and.
• 14:05
  Speaker 7: Oh, I can't tell you how much this means to me.
• 14:07
  Speaker 13: Me too.
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: Yes, Father?
• 14:10
  Speaker 11: Yes?
• 14:11
  Speaker 8: Go on, ask him when he's sending it.
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: It's come right away by messenger.
• 14:14
  Speaker 8: Well, invite him over for dinner. And if you can
• 14:17
  Speaker 8: slip it in, just say that we were in the
• 14:19
  Speaker 8: throes of job hunting when he telephoned.
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: Oh, Johnny, really, you.
• 14:23
  Speaker 7: Are the limit. What, Father?
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: What?
• 14:25
  Speaker 7: Yes, Johnny and I were just discussing that very subject,
• 14:28
  Speaker 7: and he had several interesting ideas on the kind of
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: job he'd like to do.
• 14:31
  Speaker 10: Oh, Mr. A.
• 14:31
  Speaker 7: Scott, there's a messenger from General McLeod, Lord.
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: Oh, it's just come, Father.
• 14:35
  Speaker 7: Hold on.
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: Bring it in, Ethel.
• 14:36
  Speaker 8: Yes, ma'am.
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: I think I know what it is.
• 14:38
  Speaker 7: Oh, Johnny, you'll be thrilled.
• 14:40
  Speaker 13: In here, please.
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: Oh, it is.
• 14:42
  Speaker 7: Oh, how wonderful. Johnny, look.
• 14:45
  Speaker 8: Uh, what, uh, what is the thing?
• 14:47
  Speaker 7: It's a chair, darling, a Queen Anne chair.
• 14:50
  Speaker 15: Oh.
• 14:51
  Speaker 7: We had them in the family before I was born.
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: Here's another one, ma'am.
• 14:55
  Speaker 8: How many more, for heaven's sake?
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: Just these two, sir.
• 14:58
  Speaker 10: He sent us both of them.
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: Oh, Johnny, these are our first heirlooms to be handed
• 15:05
  Speaker 7: down to our children and then to their children.
• 15:08
  Speaker 8: Well, that's the thing to do with them, all right.
• 15:11
  Speaker 7: I must tell him. Oh, Father, you're so good to
• 15:14
  Speaker 7: him that it makes him want to cry. Yes, you've
• 15:17
  Speaker 7: made me very happy. Oh, you've made Johnny very happy, too.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: Oh, yes.
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: Wait a minute, Father.
• 15:22
  Speaker 7: He wants to say something to you.
• 15:24
  Speaker 13: No, I don't.
• 15:25
  Speaker 7: Say something very nice. These chairs really belong in a museum.
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: Go on.
• 15:31
  Speaker 8: Hello, General. Yes, yes, but really, shouldn't you have sent
• 15:37
  Speaker 8: them to a museum? Well, naturally, we're thrilled.
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: A job?
• 15:43
  Speaker 13: Oh, yes, yes.
• 15:45
  Speaker 8: Lena and I were just going into that. Well, I
• 15:47
  Speaker 8: have several excellent opportunities. I just received a letter from
• 15:51
  Speaker 8: my cousin, Captain Melbeck. He wants someone to manage his.
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: Estate for him.
• 15:55
  Speaker 8: I thought I'd take the job. Well, I'm glad you approved. Yes, yes,
• 16:00
  Speaker 8: we'll get together soon.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: Goodbye, sir.
• 16:03
  Speaker 7: That was a skib about Captain Melbeck, wasn't it?
• 16:06
  Speaker 8: Was it? Listen to this letter.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: We'll give your idea the fullest consideration.
• 16:12
  Speaker 8: Let me know if you would like to take the job.
• 16:14
  Speaker 8: Yours sincerely, George Melbeck.
• 16:17
  Speaker 7: Did you have this letter all the time?
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: I did.
• 16:20
  Speaker 7: Why didn't you tell me?
• 16:21
  Speaker 8: Because, dear, I never dreamed I'd be using it. Any
• 16:25
  Speaker 8: more than I ever dreamed that we'd be receiving these
• 16:27
  Speaker 8: two beautiful chairs.
• 16:37
  Speaker 12: Oh, good afternoon, ma'am.
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: Hello, Ethel.
• 16:38
  Speaker 10: Mr. A.
• 16:39
  Speaker 7: Is Garth at home yet?
• 16:40
  Speaker 13: No, ma'am. But there's a gentleman waiting for him in
• 16:42
  Speaker 13: the drawing room.
• 16:43
  Speaker 15: Oh, thank you, Ethel.
• 16:44
  Speaker 8: Hello. Hello.
• 16:48
  Speaker 13: I say, nice place old Johnny's got here. Oh, I'm
• 16:51
  Speaker 13: Vicky Thwaite. You must be old Johnny's wife.
• 16:53
  Speaker 7: Yes, I am.
• 16:54
  Speaker 13: Didn't he ever tell you about me?
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: Vicky?
• 16:58
  Speaker 7: Oh, you're Vicky.
• 17:00
  Speaker 13: I happened to be driving by. I thought I'd just
• 17:02
  Speaker 13: pop in for a cup of tea.
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: I've heard so much about you, Mr.
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: Thwaite.
• 17:06
  Speaker 8: Johnny told me about you, too.
• 17:08
  Speaker 13: Ran into him at Newbury races last week.
• 17:10
  Speaker 7: The races?
• 17:11
  Speaker 8: Oh, put my foot into it, as usual, eh?
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: Why, Mrs.
• 17:14
  Speaker 13: didn't he tell you?
• 17:15
  Speaker 7: Well, Johnny has a job.
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: He couldn't have been at the races.
• 17:18
  Speaker 7: Besides, he's given up betting.
• 17:19
  Speaker 13: Oh, he has, has he? But don't you believe it. Now, Johnny,
• 17:24
  Speaker 13: he's a great lad, he is. You mustn't mind Johnny
• 17:26
  Speaker 13: cutting up. That's what makes him Johnny. Besides, he thinks
• 17:30
  Speaker 13: you're a topper.
• 17:31
  Speaker 7: Won't you sit down, Mr. Thwaite? I'm sure Johnny.
• 17:35
  Speaker 7: Oh.
• 17:35
  Speaker 13: Something wrong?
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 17:38
  Speaker 7: There were two chairs here this morning before I left.
• 17:41
  Speaker 13: Chairs?
• 17:42
  Speaker 8: Disappeared, have they? Yes, apparently. Were they expensive?
• 17:47
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 17:48
  Speaker 7: They were... They were museum pieces. Queen Anne.
• 17:52
  Speaker 8: Oh, that Johnny.
• 17:54
  Speaker 13: He'll be the death of me. Don't you understand?
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: No, I don't.
• 17:58
  Speaker 13: I bet you twenty to one old Johnny has sold them.
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: Sold them?
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: What for?
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: For money, of course.
• 18:04
  Speaker 8: Fellow's got to pay his.
• 18:04
  Speaker 13: Racing debts, hasn't he? You know, these bookies don't trust
• 18:07
  Speaker 13: a chap for long. Not a chap like Johnny.
• 18:09
  Speaker 8: That is.
• 18:10
  Speaker 7: I don't believe you. I don't believe a word you say.
• 18:12
  Speaker 13: Oh, put my foot in it again, have I? My dear,
• 18:14
  Speaker 13: you mustn't take it so seriously.
• 18:15
  Speaker 7: After all, it's Johnny.
• 18:16
  Speaker 13: Wonderful chap, Johnny.
• 18:17
  Speaker 7: Well, he couldn't have sold them. He wouldn't without asking me.
• 18:20
  Speaker 8: Are Mrs. Hayes not at home, Ethel?
• 18:21
  Speaker 15: Yes, sir.
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: Here he comes now.
• 18:23
  Speaker 13: Don't tell him a word I've said. But if you
• 18:25
  Speaker 13: want to see Johnny at his very best, you just
• 18:27
  Speaker 13: say something about chairs.
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: Vicky.
• 18:31
  Speaker 13: Johnny, how are you, old man?
• 18:32
  Speaker 8: Well, fine. What are you doing here?
• 18:34
  Speaker 13: Just popping in to see you, old boy.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: Good, good.
• 18:37
  Speaker 8: Well, how's my little monkey face? Hmm? What's the matter, darling? Nothing.
• 18:43
  Speaker 11: Why?
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: You sure?
• 18:44
  Speaker 13: Your wife seems to be missing some chairs, old boy.
• 18:48
  Speaker 8: Uh, Vicky, your pipe's not lit. Let me give you
• 18:50
  Speaker 8: a match.
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: Thanks, old boy.
• 18:52
  Speaker 13: About those chairs, old bin.
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: Huh?
• 18:54
  Speaker 13: The missing chairs, old man.
• 18:57
  Speaker 8: Oh, yes, yes, the chairs. Well, I suppose that American
• 19:00
  Speaker 8: must have come for them this morning.
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: What American?
• 19:03
  Speaker 8: Oh, didn't I tell you, darling? Oh, stupid of me. Well,
• 19:06
  Speaker 8: he dropped by about a week ago. Friend of Melbeck's.
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: Go on, old man.
• 19:11
  Speaker 8: Anyway, he admired the chairs. Offered a hundred apiece for them.
• 19:14
  Speaker 8: Anybody would take that.
• 19:16
  Speaker 7: I wouldn't.
• 19:17
  Speaker 8: Oh, wouldn't you really, dear? Well, that never occurred to me.
• 19:21
  Speaker 7: Why didn't you mention it?
• 19:23
  Speaker 8: I'm sorry, darling. I thought I did.
• 19:26
  Speaker 7: Oh, that's all right. They're gone.
• 19:28
  Speaker 10: They're gone.
• 19:30
  Speaker 13: They're gone, all right.
• 19:32
  Speaker 7: Shall we change for dinner?
• 19:35
  Speaker 8: You're an angel. Hold on a minute.
• 19:36
  Speaker 13: You say he offered you a hundred apiece for him?
• 19:39
  Speaker 8: That's right.
• 19:39
  Speaker 13: Let's have a look at the check.
• 19:41
  Speaker 8: Oh, he'll send it along.
• 19:43
  Speaker 13: I bet you ten pounds to a shilling you wouldn't
• 19:45
  Speaker 13: dare let your wife pick up the telephone and ask
• 19:46
  Speaker 13: old Melbeck, or whatever his name is, if he ever
• 19:49
  Speaker 13: saw her. this American.
• 19:51
  Speaker 7: Are you implying that my husband is a liar, Mr. Thwaite?
• 19:55
  Speaker 8: Oh, now, monkey face. Don't mind Beaky. He's only joking.
• 19:59
  Speaker 7: Well, I prefer jokes on other subjects. Are you staying
• 20:03
  Speaker 7: for dinner, Mr.
• 20:03
  Speaker 11: Thwaite?
• 20:04
  Speaker 8: Dinner?
• 20:04
  Speaker 13: I'm spending the weekend, unless you throw me out.
• 20:08
  Speaker 10: Johnny's friends are always welcome, as long as they remain
• 20:11
  Speaker 10: Johnny's friends.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: In a few minutes, Mr.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: DeMille and our stars, William Powell and Olivia de Havilland,
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: will be back with Act Two of Suspicion. And now,
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: Libby Collins, our Hollywood reporter.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: Tell us, Libby, what's the latest?
• 20:32
  Speaker 8: Hot, Mr.
• 20:32
  Speaker 12: Kennedy, hot.
• 20:34
  Speaker 7: Something new and quite different in hats.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: You mean the wind-blown hatless vogue is out, Libby?
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: It will be when women try on these new styles.
• 20:42
  Speaker 7: Toks, they call them. With their close-fitting trimmings of flowers
• 20:45
  Speaker 7: and feathers.
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: They're so utterly.
• 20:47
  Speaker 7: Feminine, no woman can resist them. And no man either,
• 20:51
  Speaker 7: I might add.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: If that's a toke you're wearing right now, Libby, I
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: believe you.
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: Oh, I thank you, Mr.
• 20:56
  Speaker 7: Kennedy. You know, styles are going to be very soft
• 20:59
  Speaker 7: and feminine this year. Frills and frou-frou are the vogues.
• 21:02
  Speaker 10: Irene Dunn, one of the loveliest and best-dressed stars in Hollywood,
• 21:05
  Speaker 10: has one.
• 21:05
  Speaker 7: Of these little totes.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Seems to me, Libby, that kind of hat is bound
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: to be a winner if it's combined with a soft,
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: lovely complexion. A real luxe complexion.
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: I should say so.
• 21:15
  Speaker 15: In fact, this kind of hat is artful.
• 21:17
  Speaker 7: It's actually designed to set off a nice complexion.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Well, Libby, Hollywood stars like Irene Dunn know just how
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: to keep their skin soft and smooth. With daily Luxe
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: toilet soap facials, they can be sure their precious complexions
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: get gentle, cherishing care.
• 21:30
  Speaker 7: Yes, those facials are quick and easy, but so effective.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: Lovely Luxe complexions everywhere are proof of that, Libby. And
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: I'd like to point out that.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: Recent tests of Luxe soap facials showed that actually three
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: out of four complexions improved in a short time.
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: So here's a Hollywood tip.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: For skin that's truly feminine, soft and appealing, why not
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: use this gentle soap recommended by nine out of ten
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: famous screen stars?
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: You'll find it's a beauty care that really works. If
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: ever your dealer happens to be out of stock due
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: to wartime conditions, he'll surely have more soon. Remember, Lux
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: Toilet Soap is worth waiting for. And now, Mr. DeMille
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: returns to the microphone.
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: Act Two of Suspicion, starring William Powell as Johnny and
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: Olivia de Havilland as Lena. with Charles Irwin as Beaky.
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: A week has passed, but in Lena's mind there is
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: still a dim shadow of doubt, a faint, indefinable fear,
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: the dawning of suspicion. Now in the quiet main street
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: of the town, she meets a local celebrity, a writer
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: of mystery stories.
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: Lena, dear!
• 22:41
  Speaker 7: Oh, hello, Isabelle. I've just been admiring your display in
• 22:45
  Speaker 7: the bookshop.
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: Murder on the Footbridge.
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: Yes, they're doing very well by it. How's Johnny?
• 22:50
  Speaker 7: Oh, he's fine. He's an ardent admirer of yours. I
• 22:53
  Speaker 7: don't believe there's one of your stories he hasn't read.
• 22:55
  Speaker 10: Splendid.
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: By the way, have you seen Talbrook's window?
• 22:57
  Speaker 7: The antique shop? Not lately.
• 22:59
  Speaker 6: Well, my dear, they've got the most beautiful things. Two
• 23:02
  Speaker 6: lovely old Queen Anne chairs. I'd give my soul to
• 23:04
  Speaker 6: own them.
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: Chairs?
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: Lovely.
• 23:07
  Speaker 6: Well, goodbye, dear. I'll see you for dinner soon?
• 23:09
  Speaker 7: Yes, of course.
• 23:11
  Speaker 6: I'll phone you, Lena.
• 23:15
  Speaker 13: Yes.
• 23:16
  Speaker 7: He said he'd sold him to an American.
• 23:19
  Speaker 14: He lied to me.
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: Why?
• 23:23
  Speaker 10: Why did.
• 23:26
  Speaker 14: He lie to me?
• 23:31
  Speaker 13: Hello, girl. Back so soon?
• 23:32
  Speaker 7: Beaky, I owe you an apology.
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: Good.
• 23:34
  Speaker 13: I mean, what for?
• 23:35
  Speaker 7: I'll explain to you later.
• 23:37
  Speaker 13: Oh, you seem to be rather hot under the collar.
• 23:39
  Speaker 13: Must be about old Johnny. My dear, you mustn't be
• 23:41
  Speaker 13: angry with Johnny.
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: It's a waste of time.
• 23:44
  Speaker 13: Now, if you want to get sore with me, that's different.
• 23:47
  Speaker 13: I annoy everybody.
• 23:48
  Speaker 8: Always did.
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: Lena!
• 23:50
  Speaker 8: Vicky, where are you?
• 23:51
  Speaker 11: Hello, all.
• 23:52
  Speaker 8: Now, don't move, either of you. I must watch the
• 23:55
  Speaker 8: expressions on your faces. So what have you got in
• 23:56
  Speaker 8: those packages, old bean? Vicky, this is a red-letter day. Lena, look.
• 24:00
  Speaker 8: Do you remember that little necklace you admired in Regent Street?
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: Here.
• 24:04
  Speaker 11: Well?
• 24:04
  Speaker 8: And Vicky, here's a little present for you.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: What is it, old bean?
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: Oh, a stick.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: Darling.
• 24:10
  Speaker 8: Do you remember this coat? Oh, I saw the hungry
• 24:14
  Speaker 8: eye you gave it the last time we were up
• 24:15
  Speaker 8: in London. It's yours. Well, what do you say?
• 24:19
  Speaker 7: Johnny, I don't understand what made you do all this.
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: Oh.
• 24:23
  Speaker 8: Now, dear, don't be angry.
• 24:24
  Speaker 7: Johnny, I want to know what this is all about.
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: Yes, what's it all about, old baby?
• 24:27
  Speaker 8: Well, my friends, I have the pleasure of announcing that
• 24:29
  Speaker 8: the Goodwood Cup was run today, and I happen to
• 24:32
  Speaker 8: have backed the winner. A ten-to-one shot, ladies and gentlemen,
• 24:34
  Speaker 8: and I had 200 pounds on him.
• 24:37
  Speaker 13: 200 pounds at ten-to-one? Why, that's 2,000 quid.
• 24:40
  Speaker 8: Darling, what's happened to your tongue? Ah, I suppose you
• 24:44
  Speaker 8: disapprove of my betting. Oh, come on, darling, smile.
• 24:47
  Speaker 10: Johnny, where did you get the 200 pounds?
• 24:49
  Speaker 13: Why, Selga, that's not a very tactful question.
• 24:52
  Speaker 6: Where did you get it?
• 24:54
  Speaker 8: Oh, you know very well there was no American. I
• 24:56
  Speaker 8: got it for the.
• 24:56
  Speaker 9: Chairs, of course.
• 24:58
  Speaker 7: You sold the chairs to gamble all your money on
• 25:01
  Speaker 7: a horse?
• 25:02
  Speaker 8: Well, not exactly. I owed the bookies some money. I
• 25:05
  Speaker 8: got the 200 pounds to pay them off. But then
• 25:07
  Speaker 8: along came this hot tip. Oh, darling, give us a smile.
• 25:11
  Speaker 13: Oh, come on, old girl.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, I know.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: What?
• 25:14
  Speaker 13: You tickle her chin and I'll make a noise like
• 25:16
  Speaker 13: a duck.
• 25:18
  Speaker 8: No. No good, Biggie.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: No good?
• 25:20
  Speaker 10: No.
• 25:21
  Speaker 8: Oh, I forgot something. Darling, look. This is a receipt
• 25:25
  Speaker 8: from a certain antique shop. Paid in full for a
• 25:28
  Speaker 8: certain pair of chairs. They'll deliver within the hour.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: Oh, Johnny.
• 25:33
  Speaker 8: There, she's smiling.
• 25:35
  Speaker 13: I go, so she is.
• 25:36
  Speaker 7: Oh, Johnny, darling.
• 25:38
  Speaker 13: Well done, old B. I say, what about celebrating?
• 25:42
  Speaker 9: Uh-huh.
• 25:42
  Speaker 8: Trust Beaky to say the right thing at the right time.
• 25:44
  Speaker 8: Look at me, darling.
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: Happy?
• 25:47
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 25:47
  Speaker 13: Of course she is. Here you are, Lena.
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: This is yours, old girl.
• 25:50
  Speaker 15: Thank you, Beaky.
• 25:51
  Speaker 8: Here's yours, old B.
• 25:53
  Speaker 13: Now for a toast.
• 25:54
  Speaker 8: Now, wait a minute, Beaky. What are you drinking? Brandy?
• 25:58
  Speaker 13: Oh, just as much, old B.
• 26:00
  Speaker 8: Oh, you know, that's not good for you. Oh, I... Well,
• 26:03
  Speaker 8: maybe just this once.
• 26:04
  Speaker 13: Oh, thanks.
• 26:05
  Speaker 8: Monkey Face, I drink to the last bet that will
• 26:08
  Speaker 8: ever be made by Johnny Hayes, Garth.
• 26:09
  Speaker 13: The last bet, old bean. Bottoms up, eh?
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: Vicky.
• 26:15
  Speaker 8: What's the matter with him? Sit down, Vicky, here.
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: Johnny, get some water, quick.
• 26:20
  Speaker 8: No, it won't help. I've seen this happen before. There's
• 26:23
  Speaker 8: nothing much you can do about it.
• 26:24
  Speaker 7: Well, open his collar. He can't breathe.
• 26:25
  Speaker 8: It's no use, darling. It'll either kill him or it'll
• 26:28
  Speaker 8: go away by itself. Sorry, old bean. One of these days,
• 26:33
  Speaker 8: it will kill him.
• 26:40
  Speaker 7: Oh, good afternoon, Mrs.
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: Asgard. Good afternoon.
• 26:44
  Speaker 7: Is my husband in his office?
• 26:46
  Speaker 8: Mr.
• 26:47
  Speaker 10: Asgard?
• 26:48
  Speaker 13: Why, no.
• 26:49
  Speaker 7: When do you expect him? Well, I really couldn't say.
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: Perhaps you'd like to talk.
• 26:56
  Speaker 7: To Captain Melbeck?
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: Yes, I would.
• 26:58
  Speaker 7: Very much, please.
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: This way. Mrs.
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: Aysgarth to see you, sir.
• 27:03
  Speaker 8: Oh, come in. Mrs. Aysgarth, what a pleasure to see you.
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: Good afternoon, Captain Melbeck.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: Do sit down.
• 27:10
  Speaker 7: Thank you. Captain Melbeck, I don't want to impose on you,
• 27:13
  Speaker 7: but you're Johnny's cousin as well as his employer. I
• 27:16
  Speaker 7: thought I'd come in and see you.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: Of course.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: I've been feeling very badly about Johnny ever since I
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: had to discharge him.
• 27:22
  Speaker 7: Discharge?
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: Now, don't worry, Mrs.
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: Aysgarth.
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: I told him I wouldn't prosecute.
• 27:27
  Speaker 7: I don't understand.
• 27:29
  Speaker 8: I told him I wouldn't prosecute him.
• 27:31
  Speaker 7: What on earth are you talking about? When did you
• 27:34
  Speaker 7: discharge him?
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: Six weeks ago.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: We had an unexpected audit. The account showed a deficit
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: of 2,000 pounds. When I looked into Johnny's records.
• 27:42
  Speaker 8: I'm terribly sorry, Mrs.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: Asgarth.
• 27:44
  Speaker 8: He should have told you.
• 27:53
  Speaker 10: Johnny....
• 27:55
  Speaker 7: I am leaving you.
• 27:57
  Speaker 15: It is very important.
• 28:02
  Speaker 7: That we never see each other again.
• 28:07
  Speaker 8: Lena.
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: Yes?
• 28:10
  Speaker 8: Ethel told me she packed your grips.
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 28:14
  Speaker 8: Then you heard.
• 28:17
  Speaker 11: Yes, I've heard.
• 28:19
  Speaker 8: I'm so sorry, darling. Terribly sorry. This telegram just came
• 28:23
  Speaker 8: from the doctor. Tells how it happened.
• 28:25
  Speaker 7: Telegram?
• 28:27
  Speaker 8: Deeply regret your father died early this morning from heart failure.
• 28:31
  Speaker 8: Your mother wishes you'd come at once.
• 28:34
  Speaker 14: Nina.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: Tired, darling?
• 28:50
  Speaker 13: A little.
• 28:50
  Speaker 8: It's been a nasty week for you. I'll be glad
• 28:53
  Speaker 8: to get you home. Nina. Do you ever have any
• 28:58
  Speaker 8: regrets that you married me?
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: Why do you ask that?
• 29:02
  Speaker 8: Well, I was thinking of the will. Seems pretty obvious
• 29:05
  Speaker 8: that your father would have left you a lot more
• 29:07
  Speaker 8: than his portrait if you'd been anybody else but Mrs.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: John Aysgaard.
• 29:11
  Speaker 7: Oh, is that what you meant?
• 29:12
  Speaker 8: You haven't answered my question.
• 29:15
  Speaker 6: What about you?
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: Have you any regrets?
• 29:19
  Speaker 8: Monkeyface, marrying you is the one thing I've never changed
• 29:22
  Speaker 8: my mind about.
• 29:23
  Speaker 7: Do you really mean that, Johnny?
• 29:25
  Speaker 8: Yes, I really mean that. I want nothing but to
• 29:28
  Speaker 8: spend the rest of my life with you. And if
• 29:29
  Speaker 8: you were to die first... I'd never... I were.
• 29:33
  Speaker 7: To die first.
• 29:34
  Speaker 8: Well, listen, what about you?
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: I couldn't stop loving you if I tried.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: Have you tried?
• 29:42
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: Once.
• 29:45
  Speaker 7: When? When I found out you'd lost your job with
• 29:50
  Speaker 7: Captain Melbeck.
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: How long have you known?
• 29:54
  Speaker 6: Just last Friday.
• 29:56
  Speaker 8: Who told you?
• 29:57
  Speaker 7: Captain Melbeck. I met him.
• 30:01
  Speaker 8: Did he tell you why?
• 30:03
  Speaker 7: No. Suppose you tell me why.
• 30:07
  Speaker 8: Oh, well, we just didn't get along. I say, it's
• 30:12
  Speaker 8: quite nice here. Shall we stop and look at the sea?
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: Pretty, eh?
• 30:20
  Speaker 8: Quite a drop off this cliff, wouldn't it?
• 30:22
  Speaker 7: Why didn't you get along with Captain Milbeck?
• 30:25
  Speaker 8: Oh, I don't know. He's a bit of an old fogey,
• 30:27
  Speaker 8: you know. Monkey-faced. I have always had the notion that
• 30:31
  Speaker 8: the secret of success is to start at the top.
• 30:33
  Speaker 8: The way to make money is to think in a
• 30:35
  Speaker 8: big way.
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: Look at all this land, for instance. Look at the
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: view from these cliffs.
• 30:40
  Speaker 8: Now, why isn't something done about it? If I had 10,000
• 30:43
  Speaker 8: pounds or still better, 20,000, I could start a development here.
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: All you need is 20,000 pounds.
• 30:48
  Speaker 6: No, no. For 30, next 10,000 would be a bit.
• 30:49
  Speaker 8: 30,000 pounds, that's all I'd need.
• 30:50
  Speaker 13: 20,000 pounds.
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 30:59
  Speaker 13: Think you could swing for that, old bean? Of course.
• 31:02
  Speaker 8: Now, you see, Beaky, this is the ground plan.
• 31:04
  Speaker 13: Wonderful, old bean. Then we could put the large hotel
• 31:07
  Speaker 13: out there on the cliff, eh?
• 31:08
  Speaker 8: That's the idea.
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: Hello.
• 31:10
  Speaker 7: What's going on in here?
• 31:11
  Speaker 8: Monkey Face, we're organizing a real estate company. We're about
• 31:14
  Speaker 8: to buy a very beautiful piece of land right by
• 31:16
  Speaker 8: the sea.
• 31:17
  Speaker 11: What a view.
• 31:18
  Speaker 13: What sun. What air.
• 31:21
  Speaker 8: Then we sell profit.
• 31:23
  Speaker 7: I see, but you'll need financing for all this.
• 31:25
  Speaker 8: Of course.
• 31:26
  Speaker 7: Well, have you found someone to put up the money?
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: Of course.
• 31:29
  Speaker 7: Who? Me. Oh, I see.
• 31:31
  Speaker 8: Well, the idea is mine, but the money is Beaky's.
• 31:35
  Speaker 8: And the corporation? Well, Beaky borrows against some securities he
• 31:39
  Speaker 8: has in Paris. Now, the company is going to be
• 31:42
  Speaker 8: in my name.
• 31:43
  Speaker 10: Yes, but.
• 31:44
  Speaker 8: Look, darling, let me show you how simple it is.
• 31:46
  Speaker 7: Does Beaky understand it?
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: Oh, perfectly.
• 31:48
  Speaker 8: I think.
• 31:49
  Speaker 13: I beg your pardon, Mr. Asgard.
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: Yes, Ethel?
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: You're wanted on the phone, sir.
• 31:52
  Speaker 8: Oh, thank you, Ethel. Excuse me, Beaky.
• 31:54
  Speaker 13: All right, old man.
• 31:56
  Speaker 7: Now, Beaky, please explain it to me, will you?
• 32:00
  Speaker 13: Well, you see, my dear girl, well, you see, we
• 32:03
  Speaker 13: buy up this land, and then we sell part of it.
• 32:05
  Speaker 13: That gives us 100% profit. Then on the other part,
• 32:08
  Speaker 13: we build something or other.
• 32:11
  Speaker 7: Oh, yes, but from whom do you buy the land?
• 32:13
  Speaker 7: To whom do you sell it?
• 32:14
  Speaker 13: Well, that shouldn't be difficult, do you think?
• 32:17
  Speaker 7: Beaky, isn't it about time you grew up?
• 32:19
  Speaker 8: I sell?
• 32:20
  Speaker 13: Girl, you're scolding.
• 32:21
  Speaker 7: Yes, you need a scolding.
• 32:22
  Speaker 10: Do I?
• 32:23
  Speaker 7: Yes, you do.
• 32:24
  Speaker 13: Shall I go and stand in the corner?
• 32:26
  Speaker 15: Vicky, you're not being fair to Johnny.
• 32:29
  Speaker 13: I say, oh, that's a bit thick, you know. Why,
• 32:32
  Speaker 13: he's the president of the whole valley thingamajig. Gets a salary,
• 32:35
  Speaker 13: writes his own checks.
• 32:36
  Speaker 15: Yes, that's what I mean.
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: What's wrong about that?
• 32:40
  Speaker 8: Yes, what is wrong about it? Well, Lena, I say,
• 32:43
  Speaker 8: old Ben, Lena's telling me you're a bit soft on
• 32:45
  Speaker 8: the head.
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: Is that it?
• 32:45
  Speaker 8: Well, it sounded like that to me. Uh, Vicky, hadn't
• 32:48
  Speaker 8: you better be changing for dinner?
• 32:50
  Speaker 13: Right, old Ben, I won't be a jitter.
• 32:53
  Speaker 8: What right have you to interfere in my affairs?
• 32:55
  Speaker 10: But I wasn't, really.
• 32:56
  Speaker 7: I was only.
• 32:57
  Speaker 8: You were only what?
• 32:58
  Speaker 7: Well, I was only trying to tell Beaky that he
• 33:01
  Speaker 7: shouldn't leave everything to you.
• 33:02
  Speaker 15: It's not as if you were both experienced businessmen.
• 33:05
  Speaker 8: What the devil do you know about business?
• 33:07
  Speaker 7: Oh, very little.
• 33:08
  Speaker 8: I only... Suppose Beaky are taking you seriously. You'd have
• 33:10
  Speaker 8: ruined the whole scheme. Do you realize that?
• 33:13
  Speaker 6: Yes, but if it weren't good.
• 33:14
  Speaker 8: Well, that's my business, not yours. If I say it's good,
• 33:16
  Speaker 8: it's good. But I don't want any interference from you
• 33:19
  Speaker 8: or anyone else.
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: Is that clear?
• 33:22
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 33:23
  Speaker 10: That's clear.
• 33:32
  Speaker 8: Yes, who is it?
• 33:34
  Speaker 6: Yes, Johnny? I, uh.
• 33:37
  Speaker 8: Well, I thought you might like to know I'm calling
• 33:39
  Speaker 8: off the real estate plan.
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: Why?
• 33:41
  Speaker 10: What happened?
• 33:42
  Speaker 8: Oh, I don't know. Perhaps the land isn't any good.
• 33:46
  Speaker 8: Or perhaps I don't like the idea of risking Beaky's money.
• 33:49
  Speaker 8: Or perhaps it's a stiff job and I'm too lazy.
• 33:52
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 33:58
  Speaker 13: What it is, but every time I play anagrams, I
• 34:00
  Speaker 13: can only make three-letter words. D-O-U-B.
• 34:04
  Speaker 8: D-O-U-B.
• 34:05
  Speaker 11: No such words.
• 34:06
  Speaker 7: Try this.
• 34:07
  Speaker 13: D-O-U-B-T.
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: Doubt.
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: Thank you, old girl.
• 34:10
  Speaker 11: Your turn.
• 34:11
  Speaker 13: Here, Johnny.
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: I don't see why you want to call.
• 34:13
  Speaker 13: Off this real estate scheme.
• 34:14
  Speaker 8: It's no good.
• 34:15
  Speaker 5: The corporation's formed already.
• 34:17
  Speaker 13: The money's been put up in your name, old boy.
• 34:19
  Speaker 8: The deal's off, Beaky.
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: Why do we have to drive all the way up
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: there to look at it?
• 34:23
  Speaker 8: Well, I won't be responsible for calling the scheme off
• 34:25
  Speaker 8: without first proving to you it's no good.
• 34:27
  Speaker 9: We're going up there early tomorrow morning.
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: Take a look.
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: Why are you so insistent?
• 34:31
  Speaker 8: Because, as I told you, I won't be responsible.
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: All right, old boy.
• 34:35
  Speaker 8: What's that word you've got there, Lena? N-U-L-D-E-R.
• 34:39
  Speaker 13: Oh, it's a word, is it? Try the R instead
• 34:41
  Speaker 13: of the L.
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: Murder.
• 34:43
  Speaker 13: That's better. Murder. Johnny, I don't like going up there
• 34:46
  Speaker 13: in the morning. Why do we have to go so early?
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: Now, Beaky.
• 34:49
  Speaker 8: Murder.
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: Murder.
• 34:51
  Speaker 13: Oh, well, we have to. Let's get on with the game.
• 34:53
  Speaker 13: Your turn, old girl.
• 34:54
  Speaker 14: The money and his name.
• 34:56
  Speaker 13: Murder.
• 34:57
  Speaker 7: The cliff's overlooking the sea.
• 34:59
  Speaker 13: I say, Lena.
• 35:00
  Speaker 12: The edge of the cliff.
• 35:01
  Speaker 6: Stay away, Beaky.
• 35:02
  Speaker 8: Lena, I say.
• 35:03
  Speaker 13: He'll put you off.
• 35:04
  Speaker 7: He'll kill you.
• 35:05
  Speaker 10: Murder.
• 35:06
  Speaker 14: Murder.
• 35:07
  Speaker 8: Murder. Lena, what's the matter?
• 35:12
  Speaker 15: Lena.
• 35:13
  Speaker 8: Give me a hand here, Vicki. She's fainted.
• 35:22
  Speaker 7: What time did Mr. A. Scott leave? Why, about seven, ma'am.
• 35:25
  Speaker 10: And Mr.
• 35:25
  Speaker 7: Thwaite went with him?
• 35:26
  Speaker 8: Yes, ma'am.
• 35:27
  Speaker 7: Why didn't you wait me?
• 35:28
  Speaker 6: Well, Mr. A.
• 35:29
  Speaker 7: Scott said not to disturb you.
• 35:30
  Speaker 10: What car did they use?
• 35:32
  Speaker 7: Well, ma'am, I don't... What car? Which one?
• 35:34
  Speaker 8: Listen.
• 35:36
  Speaker 7: Oh, that's Mr. A.
• 35:37
  Speaker 13: Scott now, ma'am.
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: He's back.
• 35:40
  Speaker 7: He's come back.
• 35:42
  Speaker 13: Morning, Lena. Johnny.
• 35:44
  Speaker 8: Feeling better?
• 35:46
  Speaker 12: What's the matter?
• 35:47
  Speaker 8: You're white as a sheet.
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: Where.
• 35:50
  Speaker 15: Where's Beaky?
• 35:52
  Speaker 9: What?
• 35:53
  Speaker 13: Hello, girl.
• 35:53
  Speaker 8: How are you feeling?
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: Oh!
• 35:56
  Speaker 13: Any better?
• 35:56
  Speaker 8: Nina, what is it?
• 35:58
  Speaker 7: Oh, Johnny.
• 35:59
  Speaker 6: Oh, darling, I'm so glad.
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: Oh, well, what's all this?
• 36:03
  Speaker 8: I've only been away a few hours.
• 36:04
  Speaker 7: It seems like a thousand years.
• 36:06
  Speaker 13: Yeah, it seems like that to me, too.
• 36:08
  Speaker 8: Oh, shut up, Beaky. It was nothing.
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: Nothing?
• 36:10
  Speaker 13: I came vain to lose my life.
• 36:12
  Speaker 9: You call it nothing?
• 36:12
  Speaker 13: Nothing?
• 36:13
  Speaker 7: You nearly lost your life.
• 36:16
  Speaker 13: Came very close to it.
• 36:18
  Speaker 8: Let's drop the subject.
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: No.
• 36:20
  Speaker 7: Go on, Beaky. I want to hear about it.
• 36:23
  Speaker 13: Well, very well on top of a cliff. I was
• 36:26
  Speaker 13: trying to turn my car near the edge.
• 36:28
  Speaker 7: Was Johnny in the car?
• 36:29
  Speaker 13: No, he was a few feet away.
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: Go on.
• 36:32
  Speaker 13: Well, I didn't realize I was backing the car toward
• 36:34
  Speaker 13: the edge, but I was. And if old Johnny hadn't
• 36:37
  Speaker 13: taken a flying leap and grabbed the brake, I should
• 36:39
  Speaker 13: have been kingdom come by now.
• 36:42
  Speaker 7: Johnny saved your life? Oh, Johnny, I can never tell
• 36:45
  Speaker 7: you what this means to me.
• 36:47
  Speaker 8: To you, darling?
• 36:48
  Speaker 13: Yes, it means a good bit to me, too. You know,
• 36:52
  Speaker 13: I think the old fellow deserves a reward. How about
• 36:55
  Speaker 13: a night out? Sports celebrating on me, old B.
• 36:57
  Speaker 8: Oh, well, that's very kind of you, Vicky, but don't
• 36:59
  Speaker 8: you have to go to Paris?
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: Paris?
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: Yes, yes, of course, I do.
• 37:03
  Speaker 13: My securities. I've got to go over there and cancel
• 37:05
  Speaker 13: the arrangements for them.
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: Why don't you come over with me?
• 37:08
  Speaker 8: Oh, the cad seems to forget that I'm a married man. Say,
• 37:11
  Speaker 8: I'll tell you what I might do, Vicky. I might
• 37:13
  Speaker 8: drive up as far as London with you. How about that,
• 37:15
  Speaker 8: monkey face? Yes, monkey face. I mean, Lena, you let
• 37:19
  Speaker 8: him come.
• 37:20
  Speaker 7: Well, it seems to me that.
• 37:21
  Speaker 8: Yes, I know, a job. Well, it seems to me
• 37:25
  Speaker 8: that I'll have much more chance of getting a job
• 37:27
  Speaker 8: in London than I would around here.
• 37:28
  Speaker 13: Yes, of course you would. You let him, Lena.
• 37:31
  Speaker 7: Well, I don't see very well how I can stop him.
• 37:33
  Speaker 8: Good girl.
• 37:35
  Speaker 14: Mrs.
• 37:42
  Speaker 7: Aisgaard?
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: Yes, Ethel?
• 37:44
  Speaker 7: There's an Inspector Hodgson in the hall, ma'am.
• 37:46
  Speaker 15: He wants to see Mr.
• 37:47
  Speaker 6: Aisgaard.
• 37:48
  Speaker 7: Show him in, Ethel.
• 37:49
  Speaker 15: Very good, ma'am.
• 37:50
  Speaker 7: Will you come this way, please, sir?
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: Mrs.
• 37:53
  Speaker 11: Aisgaard?
• 37:54
  Speaker 12: Yes.
• 37:55
  Speaker 5: My name's Hodgson, Inspector Hodgson from the county police.
• 37:57
  Speaker 6: How do you do?
• 37:58
  Speaker 5: I understand your husband's not in, ma'am.
• 38:00
  Speaker 7: No, he's been up in London for two days.
• 38:02
  Speaker 5: Well, perhaps you might be able to help us.
• 38:04
  Speaker 7: Yes, of course.
• 38:05
  Speaker 5: I believe you know a Mr.
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: Thwaite.
• 38:07
  Speaker 7: Yes, he's a close friend of my husband.
• 38:09
  Speaker 5: Well, I don't know how to put it quite. Perhaps
• 38:12
  Speaker 5: it would be easier if I showed you this in
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: this afternoon's paper.
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: Right here, ma'am.
• 38:18
  Speaker 7: Englishman found dead. An Englishman met with a mysterious death
• 38:22
  Speaker 7: in a house in Paris.
• 38:24
  Speaker 15: He's believed to be a Mr. Gordon Cochran Thwaite of.
• 38:26
  Speaker 7: Thank you.
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry to have to do this, ma'am, but we're
• 38:30
  Speaker 5: making inquiries for the Paris police. They found some papers
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: on Mr. Thwaite's person which indicate he just formed a
• 38:37
  Speaker 5: corporation with your husband.
• 38:39
  Speaker 12: What?
• 38:41
  Speaker 7: What did the French police think caused the death?
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: Well, this is a copy of a telegram that we
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: received from Paris. Thwaite visited the place in the company
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: of another Englishman. On arrival, Thwaite ordered a bottle of brandy.
• 38:54
  Speaker 8: Where?
• 38:54
  Speaker 5: According to one of the waiters, Thwaite's companion asked for
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: the brandy to be.
• 38:58
  Speaker 8: Served in large beakers.
• 39:00
  Speaker 5: Apparently, as a result of a bet between the two men,
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: Thwaite filled one of these beakers to the brim and
• 39:06
  Speaker 5: drank it all. The other man was not present when
• 39:08
  Speaker 5: the actual tragedy happened. I'm sorry, ma'am, but do you
• 39:12
  Speaker 5: or your husband happen to know of any friend of Mr.
• 39:15
  Speaker 5: Thwaite's who might have been there with him? No. Then
• 39:19
  Speaker 5: perhaps you could enlighten us about this corporation.
• 39:22
  Speaker 7: Yes, I believe I can. My husband had planned a
• 39:26
  Speaker 7: real estate development with him.
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: Mr.
• 39:29
  Speaker 7: Thwaite had gone. to Paris to dissolve the corporation.
• 39:32
  Speaker 5: Thank you, ma'am.
• 39:33
  Speaker 8: That's all.
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: Good day.
• 39:35
  Speaker 7: Good day.
• 39:36
  Speaker 9: He didn't go to Paris.
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: He's in London.
• 39:40
  Speaker 14: Johnny's in London.
• 39:41
  Speaker 6: He's at the county. He's got to be at the county.
• 39:43
  Speaker 5: He didn't go to Paris. He didn't.
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: Hello?
• 39:48
  Speaker 7: Hogarth Club? May I speak to Mr. A. Garth, please?
• 39:52
  Speaker 15: He left?
• 39:54
  Speaker 7: Left when?
• 39:56
  Speaker 10: Yesterday morning.
• 40:01
  Speaker 7: No.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: No, it doesn't matter.
• 40:03
  Speaker 8: Thank you.
• 40:04
  Speaker 13: Thank you.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: We pause now for station identification.
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: This is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System. In a few minutes, Mr.
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: DeMille and our stars William Powell and Olivia de Havilland
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: will return in.
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: Act Three of Suspicion.
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: And now, here's a very reasonable question from an American housewife.
• 40:57
  Speaker 11: Now that it.
• 40:57
  Speaker 12: Seems likely the war in Europe may soon come to
• 40:59
  Speaker 12: an end, why should I keep on saving my used
• 41:02
  Speaker 12: cooking fat?
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: Why, Mrs. America? Because the need is still critical, perhaps
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: more critical than ever.
• 41:08
  Speaker 12: But will fats be needed as urgently to manufacture war
• 41:11
  Speaker 12: materials and medicines to send abroad?
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: After Germany's defeat, there's still Japan.
• 41:16
  Speaker 8: Remember this, too.
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: The Japs still have the fat. They hold the countries
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: from which.
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: We used to import about one billion pounds of fats
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: and oils each year.
• 41:24
  Speaker 7: A billion pounds?
• 41:25
  Speaker 8: That's a lot of fat.
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: It is, indeed.
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: Enough to help manufacture the supplies of ammunition, medicines, parachutes,
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: and other war materials that must keep on going to
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: our fighting men abroad. Remember, too, our domestic production of
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: fats is short. It has had to fall off during
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: the war.
• 41:40
  Speaker 12: Well, I guess I'd better keep that salvaged tin handy
• 41:43
  Speaker 12: on the stove, just as I've been doing.
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: You're doing a necessary patriotic service when you continue to
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: save every drop of used kitchen fats and.
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: Turn them into your butcher.
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: Every bit you throw away may deprive one of our
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: men of some vital thing he needs.
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: The war isn't over till our boys come home. We
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: need to keep on doing everything.
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: We can to get them home sooner. Fats are essential
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: materials of war.
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: Don't waste them. Save them every day. Turn them into
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: your butcher.
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: Remember, he still gives you four cents a pound and
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: two red ration points for every pound you turn in.
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: That's the message your government sends you.
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: Here's what Mr.
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: Lee Marshall, Director of Distribution, War Food Administration, tells you.
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: Saving used fats is not a glamorous task.
• 42:25
  Speaker 5: It takes effort.
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: But it is one that only you, the American.
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: Housewife, can perform for the country. we ask you to
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: continue the wonderful job you are doing to help speed
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: final victory.
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: And now, Mr. DeMille returns to the microphone.
• 42:40
  Speaker 4: When the play is over, we hope you'll join us
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: behind the scenes for an informal chat with our stars.
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: Now here's Act Three of Suspicion, starring William Powell as
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: Johnny and Olivia de Havilland as Lena. Lena's mind, the
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: sharp sting of suspicion, has given way to the dull,
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: sickening ache of certainty. Certainty that her husband is a murderer.
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: Returning to the house, he stands framed in the doorway,
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: looking at her. She turns toward him with fear in
• 43:17
  Speaker 4: her eyes.
• 43:18
  Speaker 8: You've read about Beaky, have you? I was terribly fond
• 43:21
  Speaker 8: of Beaky.
• 43:22
  Speaker 12: Were you?
• 43:23
  Speaker 8: Yes, I loved that silly, generous, good-hearted fool.
• 43:27
  Speaker 13: Did you?
• 43:27
  Speaker 8: Of course I did. Next to you, I loved you
• 43:30
  Speaker 8: more than anybody in the world. Next to me? Oh,
• 43:34
  Speaker 8: poor monkey face. Here I am thinking only of myself,
• 43:37
  Speaker 8: forgetting about you. You liked him too, didn't you?
• 43:40
  Speaker 7: I liked him very much. The police were here.
• 43:45
  Speaker 8: What did they want?
• 43:46
  Speaker 7: They wanted you to help them. They had a telegram
• 43:49
  Speaker 7: from Paris. And it seems there was an Englishman who.
• 43:52
  Speaker 11: Made a bet.
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: Oh, yes, I know.
• 43:56
  Speaker 8: The whole story was in the late edition.
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: What else?
• 43:59
  Speaker 7: The inspector wants you to phone him. He thought perhaps
• 44:02
  Speaker 7: you could help identify this Englishman.
• 44:05
  Speaker 8: What did he tell them? Did you mention the corporation?
• 44:08
  Speaker 7: Naturally. I told him that he was planning to dissolve it.
• 44:12
  Speaker 8: I wish you'd left all that to me. Hello? Which
• 44:16
  Speaker 8: did police station, please? What else did you tell them?
• 44:19
  Speaker 7: That's about all.
• 44:20
  Speaker 12: Hello?
• 44:22
  Speaker 8: Hello, inspector.
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: This is John Aysgarth.
• 44:24
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 44:26
  Speaker 12: Yes.
• 44:28
  Speaker 8: Well, I drove up to London with him Tuesday evening. Yes,
• 44:32
  Speaker 8: I saw him off at Croydon Airport. No, no, I
• 44:37
  Speaker 8: stayed in London until this afternoon at my club.
• 44:47
  Speaker 6: Lena, how nice to see you. Sit down, dear.
• 44:49
  Speaker 7: Isabel, you know, I couldn't put my light out until
• 44:52
  Speaker 7: three this morning. I was so interested in your last book,
• 44:55
  Speaker 7: I had to come over and talk to you about it.
• 44:57
  Speaker 6: That's the nicest compliment I ever got.
• 44:59
  Speaker 10: I was completely fascinated by the way your villain enticed
• 45:01
  Speaker 10: his victim across.
• 45:02
  Speaker 7: The footbridge, knowing this bridge had been sawn through.
• 45:05
  Speaker 6: And he also knew his victim couldn't swim. Don't forget that.
• 45:08
  Speaker 7: Well, what I want to know is this. Would you
• 45:11
  Speaker 7: call that an actual murder?
• 45:14
  Speaker 6: Well, from a moral standpoint, there's no question at all.
• 45:18
  Speaker 8: It is murder.
• 45:19
  Speaker 6: I suppose it is.
• 45:21
  Speaker 5: What does Johnny think?
• 45:22
  Speaker 8: Johnny.
• 45:23
  Speaker 7: Oh, I haven't discussed it with him.
• 45:25
  Speaker 6: Well, I think he'd be interested. The same situation with
• 45:28
  Speaker 6: his friend of his in Paris.
• 45:30
  Speaker 7: The same?
• 45:30
  Speaker 6: Well, that brandy business is just like my footbridge. By
• 45:33
  Speaker 6: the way, this brandy thing isn't new at all, you know.
• 45:36
  Speaker 7: It's been done before.
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: Oh, yes.
• 45:38
  Speaker 6: And in real life, too. I have it here. A
• 45:40
  Speaker 6: book called The Trial of Richard Palmer.
• 45:43
  Speaker 11: Where is that book?
• 45:44
  Speaker 6: The Trial of... Oh, I remember where it is. It's
• 45:48
  Speaker 6: in your house.
• 45:50
  Speaker 8: My house?
• 45:50
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 45:51
  Speaker 6: Johnny borrowed it a week ago.
• 46:00
  Speaker 7: Hello?
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: Hello.
• 46:02
  Speaker 8: May I speak to Mr.
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: Asgard, please?
• 46:05
  Speaker 7: He isn't in.
• 46:05
  Speaker 10: This is Mrs.
• 46:07
  Speaker 7: Asgard speaking.
• 46:08
  Speaker 5: Oh, well, this is the guarantor's life insurance company.
• 46:11
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 46:12
  Speaker 5: Would you tell Mr.
• 46:13
  Speaker 8: Asgard that there's been a slight delay in replying to
• 46:15
  Speaker 8: his inquiry? We've written him fully and he should get
• 46:18
  Speaker 8: our letter in the morning.
• 46:25
  Speaker 15: Dear sir, replying to your inquiry regarding a loan of
• 46:29
  Speaker 15: fire policy, we regret that such a loan cannot be granted.
• 46:34
  Speaker 15: According to the terms of the policy, payments can only
• 46:36
  Speaker 15: be made in the event of your wife's death. If you.
• 46:42
  Speaker 6: Good.
• 46:43
  Speaker 8: Morning, dear. Any letters for me? What's the matter?
• 46:47
  Speaker 12: Nothing.
• 46:48
  Speaker 8: Nothing? Well, you're not shivering, are you?
• 46:51
  Speaker 7: Oh, I have a bit of a chill.
• 46:53
  Speaker 8: Cold in all this sunshine? Oh, my poor little shivering baby.
• 46:59
  Speaker 8: How do you feel now? Better?
• 47:00
  Speaker 6: Much.
• 47:01
  Speaker 7: Good.
• 47:03
  Speaker 8: What are we doing tonight?
• 47:04
  Speaker 15: We're going to Isabelle's to dine.
• 47:06
  Speaker 8: Oh, what a bore. Well, let's get back to that
• 47:16
  Speaker 8: new book of yours, Isabelle. You mean to tell me
• 47:19
  Speaker 8: that a fellow sits down at a piano, starts to strum,
• 47:21
  Speaker 8: and in two seconds later, he's shot? Is that the idea?
• 47:24
  Speaker 10: Yes.
• 47:24
  Speaker 6: A certain note on the piano was wired to a
• 47:27
  Speaker 6: revolver concealed in the wall.
• 47:29
  Speaker 8: Oh, I don't care much for that, Isabel. You're slipping,
• 47:32
  Speaker 8: old girl.
• 47:32
  Speaker 6: What's wrong with it?
• 47:33
  Speaker 8: Too complicated. You're going to kill somebody? Do it simply.
• 47:37
  Speaker 7: How would you do it? Simply, Johnny?
• 47:40
  Speaker 8: Oh, I don't know, dear. Just use the most obvious method.
• 47:42
  Speaker 7: For instance?
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: Well, poison.
• 47:44
  Speaker 8: Just use the first one that came to my mind.
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: Say, arsenic.
• 47:48
  Speaker 6: Oh, and it can be traced in the body, of course.
• 47:50
  Speaker 8: Uh, but it isn't always.
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: No.
• 47:52
  Speaker 6: This very minute, there are probably hundreds of murders walking about.
• 47:55
  Speaker 7: Johnny, do you suppose those murderers are happy?
• 47:58
  Speaker 8: Oh, I don't know. Why shouldn't they be? Well, anyway, Isabella,
• 48:01
  Speaker 8: it seems to me that by now, somebody would have
• 48:03
  Speaker 8: discovered a poison that can't be traced.
• 48:05
  Speaker 6: What's that? What about it?
• 48:07
  Speaker 5: Isn't that?
• 48:08
  Speaker 6: An untraceable poison? No. There's no such thing.
• 48:12
  Speaker 8: Oh, Isabella, you are hiding something from me.
• 48:23
  Speaker 15: Johnny, you're locking up.
• 48:25
  Speaker 7: What about Ethel?
• 48:27
  Speaker 8: Well, it's Ethel tonight off. She won't be back till morning.
• 48:30
  Speaker 15: What about Cook?
• 48:32
  Speaker 8: Have you forgotten? Cook's away on a holiday.
• 48:35
  Speaker 12: Oh.
• 48:36
  Speaker 8: Darling, you're shivering again. You suppose you're catching cold?
• 48:40
  Speaker 7: Yes, I think that's what it must be.
• 48:43
  Speaker 8: Oh, well, we'll have to tuck you into bed. Get
• 48:45
  Speaker 8: you nice and warm. Come on.
• 48:47
  Speaker 12: No, Johnny, please.
• 48:48
  Speaker 7: Please don't.
• 48:49
  Speaker 8: What's the trouble?
• 48:50
  Speaker 7: Johnny, I'm in a state tonight.
• 48:52
  Speaker 15: I don't know why, but I'd like to be alone.
• 48:54
  Speaker 7: Would you mind sleeping in your dressing room?
• 48:56
  Speaker 8: Of course I'd mind.
• 48:59
  Speaker 7: Please, Johnny, I haven't been sleeping.
• 49:01
  Speaker 15: Very well lately.
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: Oh, I understand.
• 49:06
  Speaker 8: You used to sleep badly when I wasn't here.
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: Now you.
• 49:10
  Speaker 8: All right, that's the way you feel about it.
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: Good night.
• 49:16
  Speaker 7: Poison.
• 49:18
  Speaker 10: Ostrich.
• 49:21
  Speaker 8: Untraceable.
• 49:22
  Speaker 15: The event of your wife's death.
• 49:24
  Speaker 11: Poison.
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: The event of your wife's death.
• 49:28
  Speaker 6: Your wife's death.
• 49:29
  Speaker 14: Your wife's death.
• 49:35
  Speaker 8: Come on, Nina. Wake up, dear. Feeling better?
• 49:37
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 49:38
  Speaker 7: Yes, I.
• 49:40
  Speaker 5: Hello, darling.
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: Yes, Belle.
• 49:42
  Speaker 6: I came over this morning. We were quite worried about
• 49:45
  Speaker 6: you leaving.
• 49:45
  Speaker 7: This morning? I... I've been asleep all day.
• 49:50
  Speaker 8: The doctor gave you a pill, darling. That's all you needed, rest.
• 49:54
  Speaker 8: I'll run down and tell Ethel to fix supper. Right back.
• 49:57
  Speaker 6: Oh, he's one in a million, that Johnny of yours.
• 50:00
  Speaker 14: Isn't he?
• 50:02
  Speaker 6: I warn you, if you leave me alone much longer
• 50:04
  Speaker 6: with him, my career will soon be over.
• 50:06
  Speaker 7: He flirted with you, I suppose.
• 50:08
  Speaker 5: Flirted?
• 50:09
  Speaker 6: Worse than that. He's burning all my secrets out of me.
• 50:12
  Speaker 7: Did you tell him anything today?
• 50:15
  Speaker 6: Did I? Oh, now, honestly, have you ever been able
• 50:18
  Speaker 6: to deny Johnny anything? It was about that poison, wasn't it? Yes,
• 50:22
  Speaker 6: it was. And if he writes a story on that
• 50:24
  Speaker 6: one before I do... Lena, Lena, imagine. A substance in
• 50:28
  Speaker 6: daily use. Anyone can get it. And within a minute
• 50:31
  Speaker 6: after taking, the victim's beautifully out of the way. And
• 50:34
  Speaker 6: mind you, it's undetectable after death.
• 50:37
  Speaker 15: Is whatever it is painful?
• 50:41
  Speaker 7: Not even this.
• 50:42
  Speaker 6: In fact, I should think it would be your most
• 50:44
  Speaker 6: pleasant death.
• 50:55
  Speaker 8: Lena?
• 50:56
  Speaker 14: Yes?
• 50:57
  Speaker 8: Are you awake?
• 50:59
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 51:01
  Speaker 8: I brought you a sandwich and a glass of milk.
• 51:05
  Speaker 8: You might drink the milk before you go to sleep.
• 51:08
  Speaker 8: I'll just leave it here. Good night, darling. Why don't
• 51:18
  Speaker 8: you let me help you pack?
• 51:19
  Speaker 7: Oh, there's no need to. I.
• 51:20
  Speaker 4: What's the matter with.
• 51:21
  Speaker 8: You this morning? You're still annoyed with me, aren't you?
• 51:24
  Speaker 15: No, Johnny, really.
• 51:25
  Speaker 7: I still don't feel well, that's all.
• 51:27
  Speaker 8: And a few days at your mother's will do more
• 51:29
  Speaker 8: good than staying at home.
• 51:30
  Speaker 6: Well, it's not exactly that.
• 51:32
  Speaker 7: Don't you understand? Mother telephoned me.
• 51:34
  Speaker 8: She got on that phone awfully early, it seems to me.
• 51:37
  Speaker 7: Well, Mother gets up early. I happened to mention that
• 51:40
  Speaker 7: I was a bit nervy, and before I knew it,
• 51:42
  Speaker 7: I'd agreed to spend a few days with her.
• 51:44
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 51:45
  Speaker 8: I'll run down and get the car ready.
• 51:47
  Speaker 10: Oh, no.
• 51:48
  Speaker 5: Don't.
• 51:49
  Speaker 7: I'll drive it myself.
• 51:50
  Speaker 8: I prefer to drive you.
• 52:01
  Speaker 7: You're going too fast, Johnny.
• 52:02
  Speaker 8: Well, you want to get there, don't you?
• 52:04
  Speaker 4: Did you.
• 52:06
  Speaker 7: Did you have to go by this road?
• 52:07
  Speaker 8: Why not? It's a short way, isn't it? There's the
• 52:12
  Speaker 8: hotel site. Another thing I failed at.
• 52:14
  Speaker 14: He's going to kill me.
• 52:19
  Speaker 11: The door is open.
• 52:20
  Speaker 13: He's going to kill me.
• 52:25
  Speaker 7: He's going to push me out.
• 52:26
  Speaker 4: Down and down. Over and over.
• 52:30
  Speaker 12: Murder.
• 52:31
  Speaker 6: Down and down.
• 52:33
  Speaker 5: Over and over.
• 52:33
  Speaker 8: Get your hand off the door, Lena.
• 52:38
  Speaker 6: Let me go.
• 52:39
  Speaker 15: Let me go.
• 52:40
  Speaker 6: Don't go.
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: Lena.
• 52:42
  Speaker 8: Let me go.
• 52:43
  Speaker 6: Leave me alone.
• 52:44
  Speaker 4: Leave me.
• 52:44
  Speaker 6: Stop it.
• 52:45
  Speaker 8: Stop it, you little fool. Stop it. I've had enough.
• 52:47
  Speaker 8: How much do you think a man can bear? Listen
• 52:51
  Speaker 8: to me. You turn me out of your room. You
• 52:53
  Speaker 8: go running away to your mother's. Now you shrink away
• 52:56
  Speaker 8: from me as though you hated me. You're my wife, Lena.
• 52:58
  Speaker 6: But I thought.
• 52:59
  Speaker 8: You almost killed us both back there. Because you had
• 53:01
  Speaker 8: to pull away from me even when I was reaching
• 53:03
  Speaker 8: over to save you from falling out of the car. Well,
• 53:07
  Speaker 8: you don't have to put up with me anymore.
• 53:10
  Speaker 7: Johnny, wait. Where are you going?
• 53:13
  Speaker 8: First, I'm taking you on to your mother's.
• 53:15
  Speaker 15: And then what?
• 53:16
  Speaker 8: Don't worry. I won't bother you again.
• 53:19
  Speaker 7: Johnny, you mean you're going to.
• 53:21
  Speaker 10: Johnny, why were you asking Isabel about that poison.
• 53:25
  Speaker 7: What were you planning to do with Johnny? You were
• 53:29
  Speaker 7: going to kill yourself. Oh, my darling.
• 53:33
  Speaker 8: Yes, but I've changed my mind. I'm going back to
• 53:37
  Speaker 8: see it through. Prison time and.
• 53:40
  Speaker 7: You mean Melbeck, that money you took?
• 53:42
  Speaker 8: I can't pay it back. I made the last attempt
• 53:45
  Speaker 8: to raise the money when I went away with Beaky.
• 53:46
  Speaker 6: To Paris?
• 53:48
  Speaker 8: I went to Liverpool. I tried to borrow your insurance,
• 53:51
  Speaker 8: but it didn't work.
• 53:53
  Speaker 5: You mean.
• 53:54
  Speaker 15: You were in Liverpool when, Beaky?
• 53:56
  Speaker 7: Then you didn't go to Paris.
• 53:57
  Speaker 8: Of course not. Do you think I'd have let some
• 54:00
  Speaker 8: idiot give poor old Beaky that brandy if I had?
• 54:03
  Speaker 7: Oh, Johnny. If only I'd known.
• 54:05
  Speaker 6: This is as much.
• 54:07
  Speaker 15: My fault as yours.
• 54:09
  Speaker 6: I was only thinking of myself, not what you were
• 54:11
  Speaker 6: going through.
• 54:13
  Speaker 7: If I'd really been close to you, you could have
• 54:15
  Speaker 7: confided in me. But you were ashamed of it. Oh,
• 54:19
  Speaker 7: if I'd only understood. Oh, Johnny, it'll be different now.
• 54:22
  Speaker 7: We'll make a difference.
• 54:23
  Speaker 8: People don't change overnight, Leah. I'm no good.
• 54:25
  Speaker 7: Let's turn back, Johnny. Let's go home and see it
• 54:28
  Speaker 7: all through together.
• 54:29
  Speaker 8: No, that won't work.
• 54:31
  Speaker 7: It will work.
• 54:32
  Speaker 15: I know it will.
• 54:33
  Speaker 12: Johnny, please.
• 54:34
  Speaker 7: You can't shut me out. Turn the car around and
• 54:37
  Speaker 7: let's go home.
• 54:38
  Speaker 6: Please, Johnny.
• 54:39
  Speaker 8: Now get in the car.
• 54:43
  Speaker 5: Johnny.
• 54:47
  Speaker 6: Johnny. Where are we going?
• 54:52
  Speaker 8: We're turning back.
• 54:54
  Speaker 3: We're going home.
• 55:00
  Speaker 11: It's more than a matter of suspicion that tonight's performance
• 55:13
  Speaker 11: will be long remembered by millions of listeners to the
• 55:16
  Speaker 11: Lux Radio Theater.
• 55:17
  Speaker 4: And for that, we can thank our stars, William Powell
• 55:21
  Speaker 4: and Olivia de Havilland.
• 55:22
  Speaker 8: Thank you, Cecil. You gave us a great play when
• 55:25
  Speaker 8: you picked Suspicion.
• 55:25
  Speaker 4: Now, you ought to be an authority on mysteries, Bill.
• 55:29
  Speaker 4: One of the best bits of news I've heard is
• 55:30
  Speaker 4: that you're going to do another picture in the Thin
• 55:33
  Speaker 4: Man series.
• 55:34
  Speaker 7: But, Bill, for the Thin Man, haven't you been putting
• 55:38
  Speaker 7: on a little weight?
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: Olivia....
• 55:45
  Speaker 8: How can you say that? Well, I'm scared of my
• 55:47
  Speaker 8: own shadow.
• 55:49
  Speaker 4: You mean it looks as if a crowd were following you.
• 55:56
  Speaker 8: What weight I have comes from my iron constitution. Every
• 56:00
  Speaker 8: morning when I get up, I turn on those exercises
• 56:03
  Speaker 8: over the radio.
• 56:04
  Speaker 7: And do them?
• 56:05
  Speaker 8: No, my wife does. I watch her.
• 56:09
  Speaker 4: Bill, I don't understand you. When I was your age,
• 56:11
  Speaker 4: I used to think nothing of a ten-mile walk.
• 56:13
  Speaker 8: I don't think much of it myself. But look, if
• 56:17
  Speaker 8: you want to know, I'm on an A diet.
• 56:19
  Speaker 6: An A diet?
• 56:20
  Speaker 10: What's that?
• 56:21
  Speaker 8: A steak, a baked potato, a piece of pie.
• 56:23
  Speaker 7: Sounds like army rations.
• 56:26
  Speaker 4: Well, it goes to the front.
• 56:34
  Speaker 8: Well, in spite of all you say about me, I'll
• 56:37
  Speaker 8: confess you're looking as lovely as ever, Libby.
• 56:41
  Speaker 11: Yes, isn't she?
• 56:42
  Speaker 8: And now that I've planted it for you, Sussel... You
• 56:45
  Speaker 8: wouldn't like to tell us one of the reasons, would you?
• 56:48
  Speaker 3: Me?
• 56:48
  Speaker 8: No, no.
• 56:50
  Speaker 6: Oh, come on.
• 56:53
  Speaker 4: Plenty of fresh air, sunshine.
• 56:56
  Speaker 8: And Lux toilet soap. I'll say it for you.
• 57:00
  Speaker 6: Well, there's no need to be modest about it, Phoebe.
• 57:02
  Speaker 7: I use Lux toilet soap faithfully, and it does wonders.
• 57:06
  Speaker 4: Well, thank you, Olivia. And I think we'd better take
• 57:09
  Speaker 4: back all we said about Bill's figure, or he'll dial
• 57:12
  Speaker 4: us off his radio next Monday night.
• 57:15
  Speaker 7: Not when he hears what's coming up, C.D.
• 57:17
  Speaker 8: What do you have for next Monday, Cecil?
• 57:18
  Speaker 4: A play I think you'll like, Bill. The RKO romantic comedy,
• 57:23
  Speaker 4: Lucky Partners. And our stars will be Donna Meachie and
• 57:27
  Speaker 4: Lucille Ball. With Jack Carson. It's a story of two
• 57:32
  Speaker 4: young people falling in.
• 57:34
  Speaker 5: Love who stake their future on.
• 57:36
  Speaker 4: A horse race.
• 57:37
  Speaker 10: Huh.
• 57:38
  Speaker 4: When you gamble both love and horses, you're riding for
• 57:42
  Speaker 4: plenty of excitement.
• 57:43
  Speaker 7: Well, it sounds like another entertaining evening, Phoebe.
• 57:45
  Speaker 6: We'll be listening.
• 57:46
  Speaker 7: Good night.
• 57:47
  Speaker 13: Good night.
• 57:48
  Speaker 11: Good night. Good night. I have a suspicion you'll be
