  Speaker 5: About the suicide, Oh, first of all, why is this
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: girl committing suicide?
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: She's tired? Bored?
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: Oh, darling, no wonder. You can't make it convincing. People
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: don't just commit suicide because they're bored.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: Yes they do. People do even worse than that when
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: they're bored.
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: Well, Walter, I've been bored lots of times, but I've
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: never even gone.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: I can see you're not going to be much help.
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: I'll help you, Honn. What's the girl like? She married?
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: Yes?
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: Is she in love with her husband?
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: Well, she doesn't know anymore?
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: How could she not know?
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: ILLINOI you may not understand her, but you've got to
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: take my word for it.
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: Let's see, would she say, Eleanor.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: Let's try it this way. You know, sometimes the very
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: first things you think of are the best. Just say
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: whatever you think she'd say without stopping. You know a
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: little about the character, Just say whatever comes into your head.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: Try it. I won't interrupt you, all right? But oh,
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: Eleanor did they fix the recording machine today?
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: Yes?
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, have you tried it out yet?
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: No? No, I was just going to.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: I'll tell you what we'll do. Then we'll try it
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: out by cutting a record of what you say. Now
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: it'll be spontaneous, unrehearsed. I've thought too much about it.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: Maybe that's why I can't do it. But yours will
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: be fresh, and we'll play it back and change it
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: and work on it after we hear it.
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: Well, wouldn't it be better?
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Darling?
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: Pleast my way? Or you have a chance to think
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: too much about it? Oh? Come on, you've got a
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: record right there, haven't you? Is there anything on it?
• 6:17
  Speaker 9: Well?
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: One side's blank?
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: All right? Come on and make it emotional, vincing you ready?
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: All right? Go ahead.
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: Maybe it's foolishoved me to do what I'm thinking of doing,
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: but I don't see any other way.
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: I'm confused and.
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: Bored, I guess bored most of all. And maybe what
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: I'm going to do will solve things for both of us.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Good Bye.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: You're with Eleanor. I can get a lot of ideas from.
• 7:02
  Speaker 6: That is at the end of the record.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: Yes, you see you have helped me after all.
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: I thought it was terrible. I'm no writer of all.
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: It was all right. Of course I may change a
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: word here and there, but it was all right.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: Well, can we go walking out?
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: Yes? Get your coach?
• 7:17

  Speaker 10: All right, here we.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: Go, Elenor, would you mind if we left? Tracy? Why
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: I feel so tired. I thought I'd like to stop
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: at Joe's for some coffee.
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: We can take him in with us.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: No, we can't remember what Joe said last time we
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: had him in there.
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: Oh, I forgot.
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: I don't see why he has to act that way
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: about dogs. We just spoiled Joe just because he gave
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: you music lessons as a child. He thinks he can
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: treat us anyway you want, Oh.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: Eleanor, he has his customers to think about. People don't
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: like to have dogs hanging around in eating place. Doesn't
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: Joe's fault?
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: Oh, poor Tracy. He knows he's not wanted.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: Well, that's the way Joe feels about it. We'll only
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: stay a few minutes and then we'll come back for Tracy.
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: All right, I.
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: Suppose we have to Tracy.
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: You wait now. He won't be long and we'll come
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: back for you. Oh, we'd take you now, boy, but
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: we can't look walder.
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: It's almost as if he understands.
• 8:08

• 8:10
  Speaker 4: these days.
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: Oh, come on, huh, let's go sweet and hurry back.

• 12:41
  Speaker 4: Well, it's two Birds with one Stone, I.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: Guess, or Suspense from Wines are bringing you as star
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: Dana Andrews, whom you have heard in the first act
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: of Meldonelley's Two Birds with One Stone, which is Roma
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: Wine's presentation tonight of suspense.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Between the acts of suspense. This is Truman Bradley for
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Roma Wines, two millions all over the world. The name
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Elsa Maxwell stands for a gracious hospitality. Her suggestions on
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: entertaining are eagerly sought, and here's an especially timely one.
• 13:34
  Speaker 10: Planning a simple dinner for friends during these days of
• 13:37
  Speaker 10: food rationing calls for imagination and making plain dishes temptingly attractive.
• 13:42
  Speaker 10: I suggest the simple, inexpensive touch that Roma lends, making
• 13:47
  Speaker 10: party fair out of the most ordinary supper. Serve cool
• 13:50
  Speaker 10: Roma California Burgundy with the meal, if possible, to dine
• 13:55
  Speaker 10: by candlelight. The tart piquancy of deliciously robust Roma redbirddy
• 14:00
  Speaker 10: and a soft, flattering lighting heightens the pleasure of dining.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: That's a grand suggestion of Elsa Maxwell's dinner by candle
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: light with distinctive Roma Burgundy truly an appealing idea. Like
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: all Roma wines, Roma Burgundy is of banvarying goodness, the
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: goodness of selected grapes, guided to flavor fullness by the
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: ancient swine skill of Roma's famed wineries. Serve Roma regularly.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: It costs only pennies a glass. Remember, more Americans enjoy
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: Roma than any other wine. R m A Roma wines.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: And now Roma wines bring back to our Hollywood sound stage.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: Dana Andrews as water Faber in Two Birds with One Stone,
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: a tail well calculated to keep you in suspense, Joe,
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: what's the matter have you seen my wife?
• 15:12
  Speaker 9: Not since you were here a while ago.
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: She's disappeared, Joe, What do you mean? We went for
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: a walk after we left here, she insisted, and saw
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: how she was acting. Yes, but she got away from
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: me down by the wharf. I couldn't find her. I
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: thought maybe she'd come back here.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: I haven't seen her, Walter, Joe, Joe, will you have
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: me try and find her?
• 15:32
  Speaker 9: Sure, Nick, I'm going up take over, will you?
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: I can't think of any other place to look. What
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: am I going to do?
• 15:41
  Speaker 9: She will? I don't worry, Walter, I don't know.
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: She's been acting so strange lately.
• 15:46
  Speaker 9: What about the dog?
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: What do you mean was he with her?
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes he was.
• 15:52
  Speaker 9: She'll be all right then he'll look after her. Let's
• 15:55
  Speaker 9: go to your apartment. She might have gone back there,
• 15:57
  Speaker 9: might as well, I.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: Guess, but she was saw at me. I don't think
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: she would have gone back home.
• 16:02
  Speaker 8: We'd better have a look anyway.
• 16:16
  Speaker 9: H Rook there, Walter. What's the matter with the door
• 16:18
  Speaker 9: to your apartment? It is opened? Didn't you lock it
• 16:21
  Speaker 9: on your lafe?
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: I didn't lock it, but I remember closing it. Maybe
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: she's come back. No, she couldn't have.
• 16:27
  Speaker 12: I mean, come on, let's go, oh, eleanor see there's
• 16:32
  Speaker 12: there's no one here.
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: I look in the kitchen. You go in the bedroom, Joe.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Walter, what is it coming here in the bedroom?
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: What's the matter?
• 16:44
  Speaker 9: Look gone to bed there?
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: No, it couldn't be.
• 16:47
  Speaker 9: That doctor said the dog was with her. He was, Yes,
• 16:51
  Speaker 9: he was with her, and she must be here too.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: No, she couldn't be. I mean, oh, eleanor.
• 16:58
  Speaker 9: Ele how's still the poor dog lies? Maybe it's been
• 17:02
  Speaker 9: heard it is southing wet.
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: It was raining, wasn't it? It was raining?
• 17:07
  Speaker 9: What's the matter, Tracy, what's the matter?
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: Boy?
• 17:11
  Speaker 9: I guess it's all right. But the way he stares
• 17:14
  Speaker 9: at that, Joe, what's the matter?
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: I just remembered a record. She made it tonight, just
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: before we left the house. She wouldn't let me hear it.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: She wouldn't tell me what it was, even she said
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: I could listen to it after we came back to
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: my walk. It's in here on the machine.
• 17:27
  Speaker 9: We had better play at Walker.
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: Maybe it's fully shoved me to do what I'm thinking
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: of doing, But I don't see any other way. I'm
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: confused and bored. I guess bored most of all, and
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: maybe what I'm going to do will solve things for
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: both of us.
• 17:56
  Speaker 12: Goodbye.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: I think we had better call the police, Walter, what
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: for to have them look for her?
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: Oh? Oh, yes, of course? Is there anything else you
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: can think of, mister Favor, that's all?
• 18:21
  Speaker 13: Then you believe the recording was intended as a suicide note? Yes,
• 18:26
  Speaker 13: I would like to talk to mister Weiss here alone
• 18:28
  Speaker 13: for a moment.
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: I'll be in the bedroom if you need me.
• 18:30
  Speaker 13: All right, mister Wisse, how long have you known mister Favor?
• 18:36
  Speaker 9: For many years? I gave them music lessons as a child.
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: Can you add anything to what he's already told us?
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: Well, she was acting just like he said. I noticed
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: at the moment she walked into my place. He's usually
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: very friendly, and she said something about my not seeing
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: her anymore?
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: Anything else, that's all?
• 18:56
  Speaker 9: M hm?
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: And you did hear them play the record Gloomy Sandy?
• 19:01
  Speaker 13: Yes, well, we've had a couple of suicide cases where
• 19:04
  Speaker 13: that song has come up before.
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: I think mister Paper better prepare himself for the worst.
• 19:09
  Speaker 9: I'm afraid, sir.
• 19:10
  Speaker 13: Well, look, I'll go along now. Favor will probably want
• 19:12
  Speaker 13: to come with us, but I think he better stay here.
• 19:14
  Speaker 13: There's no telling what we'll find.
• 19:15
  Speaker 9: Is there anything I can do?
• 19:18
  Speaker 8: Yes?
• 19:18
  Speaker 9: Yes, I suggest you get in touch with his family.
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: I think he ought to have someone here with him.
• 19:22
  Speaker 9: He has no family.
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: Oh, then perhaps you'd stay. Of course.
• 19:26
  Speaker 13: Well, we'll call you the minute we happen in news.
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: Joe. Yeah, did the officer go, Yes, he did, but
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: I think I should have gone with it.
• 19:38
  Speaker 9: No, No, he said for him to stay here. He'll
• 19:40
  Speaker 9: call us Walter. Have you noticed Tracy through all of this?
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: What about him?
• 19:47
  Speaker 9: I don't know. It's depressing just to look at him.
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: That's because you don't like dogs, Joe.
• 19:53
  Speaker 9: Oh, you're mistaken, or I do like dogs.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: I never did know why you asked me to tell
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: your wife not to bring him to I pray anymore?
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: Would you like to drink? Joe?
• 20:03
  Speaker 8: No?
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: Thanks?
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: YEA strange the way that dog follows you around every
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: move you make, charlmost as if he were trying to
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: say something.
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: He's all right, come here, Tracy, come here, Come here, Tracy.
• 20:20
  Speaker 9: He was her dog, wasn't he.
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: Yes, she bought him.
• 20:24
  Speaker 9: His eyes are almost like a human's.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: Huh.
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, stop at Tracy, stop following me around.
• 20:32
  Speaker 9: Ah, Now you are to get hold of yourself, Walter.
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes, I guess I'm pretty upset with all that's happened.
• 20:40
  Speaker 9: Tracy is too, he knows something's wrong.
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: He doesn't know anything. Will you stop at Joe?
• 20:45
  Speaker 9: Oh, well, I'm sorry.
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: We both need sleep. That couch is pretty comfortable, Joe.
• 20:52
  Speaker 9: Oh, that would be fine for me. What about Tracy?
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: He usually sleeps on that chair over there. Well, I'll
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: go on to bed. Good night, good night. No, Tracy,
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: don't follow me. Get over there in your chair. You
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: know about your chair. I'll go up for me, Joe. Joe,
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: just a minute, Joe, were you talking in there?
• 21:34
  Speaker 9: Did you call me?
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: Oh? No, I was asleep. You must have heard Tracy
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: scratching at the door.
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: Here, Joe, keep him out of here. Will you keep
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: him in the living room as I will? Joe, I've
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: got to get rid of that dog first thing. Tomorrow.
• 21:48
  Speaker 9: Maybe my wife and I will take him.
• 21:50
  Speaker 12: No, why, no, it'll be too hard seeing him around.
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: I don't want to see him anymore. I don't want
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: him around.
• 21:57
  Speaker 9: You better try and get some sleep. You can't talk
• 22:00
  Speaker 9: about it in the morning.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: Yes, good night.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: Oh, come on, Tracey, come on boy, you'll you'll have
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: to carry him, pick him up?
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: Will you nurse?
• 22:11
  Speaker 9: Here we go? Boy, Hey, he has got something sticky
• 22:16
  Speaker 9: around his neck. Here he ought to have a bath. Uh,
• 22:20
  Speaker 9: I'll get it. You staying here, Walter?
• 22:29
  Speaker 13: Oh oh, officer, I have bad news, mister Weiss.
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: We found her. Where's mister in the bedroom? Well, you'll
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: have to help me break it to him.
• 22:38
  Speaker 9: Where did you find her?
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: In the river?
• 22:41
  Speaker 13: She must have struck her head on the pilings when
• 22:42
  Speaker 13: she jumped off the wall. She was in pretty bad shape.
• 22:45
  Speaker 13: Her clothes were torn and her arms were badly lacerated.
• 22:48
  Speaker 13: Me can't figure that out. Well, I guess we better
• 22:52
  Speaker 13: go into mister Faber. Yes, yes, what is it have you?
• 22:57
  Speaker 9: Walter? Walter, We have very bad news for you.
• 23:02
  Speaker 13: I'm sorry, mister Faber. There's nothing you can do now.
• 23:05
  Speaker 13: As we suspected it was suicide. There's no need of
• 23:08
  Speaker 13: your coming down now. There was identification on her, but
• 23:10
  Speaker 13: we would like to see you in the morning.
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: I'll be down good night, officer. Yes, would you do
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: me a favor? This was her dog? Yes, I don't
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: want him around anymore with her gone. Could you take
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: him with you now? Well, this is a bit of
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: regular What would you want done with him. Just get
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: him out of here. I don't care what you do
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: with him.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: I know you're upset, Walder, but don't do this to
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: the dog. Decided about it tomorrow you may feel different.
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: Don't stand there and argue with me. Joe, I know
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: what I want. I get him out of here.
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: I tell you, I guess you'd better take him officer.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: If you will have to carry him, I guess.
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: Yes, Well, it's too bad. They'll probably put him out.
• 23:51
  Speaker 8: Of the way. Yes, I know.

  Speaker 3: I suspected nothing until a while ago, when I prayed
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: the other side of this record, I put that gun
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: down water.
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: Let the dog in, Come on, let him in. If

• 26:10
  Speaker 8: Now.
• 26:10

  Speaker 4: time I'll make it stick.
• 26:33
  Speaker 13: If that dog hadn't gotten away from missus j you'd
• 26:35
  Speaker 13: have been gone now, mister Weiss. And if I hadn't
• 26:37
  Speaker 13: followed this dog back here, I wouldn't have overheard your.
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: Very interesting confession, mister Faber. Well, okay, I guess I'm
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: even a worse play right than I thought. Come on, Tracy,
• 26:54

• 29:04
  Speaker 4: remember this, We've got the biggest home front effort of
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: the war facing us right now. It's buying more bonds
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: during the current Seventh War Loan, more than we've ever
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: bought before. Last year, by this time we had two
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: Warlon drives. This drive a seventh War Loan is the
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: first this year, but it must do the job of two,
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: for there'll be only two warloned drives in nineteen forty five,
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: so buy more and larger war bonds now.
• 29:33
