- 0:05Speaker 1: Suspense and the producer of radio's outstanding theater of Thrills,
- 0:11Speaker 1: the master of mystery and Adventure, William M. Robeson.
- 0:16Speaker 2: We who manufacture thrills and chills for you, sometimes, weary
- 0:21Speaker 2: of the guns and knives and blood and gore, We
- 0:24Speaker 2: yearned to smile once.
- 0:25Speaker 3: In a while.
- 0:26Speaker 2: We crave an occasional chuckle instead of the groans which
- 0:28Speaker 2: fill our working days. But murder is serious business, and
- 0:32Speaker 2: all too rarely do we find it a laughing matter.
- 0:35Speaker 2: The story you are about to hear is one of
- 0:37Speaker 2: these rare and happy occasions. It concerns two missing persons
- 0:41Speaker 2: and the intertwined lives of two French chefs named Henry
- 0:45Speaker 2: string Bean and Frank Pigsfoot, and how their friendship flourished
- 0:49Speaker 2: in the kitchens of a New York restaurant called The
- 0:51Speaker 2: King's Eggplant. It marks also the welcome addition to Suspense's
- 0:55Speaker 2: company of stars of the popular French actor Maurice Massak
- 1:01Speaker 2: Listen then as Mosiu mas Sak stars in One Chef
- 1:05Speaker 2: Well Done, which begins in exactly one minute.
- 1:08Speaker 4: How can we recognize devotion to freedom? One way is
- 1:12Speaker 4: to be able to identify the Navy Cross established by
- 1:15Speaker 4: Congress in nineteen nineteen. A cross made of bronze. It
- 1:20Speaker 4: contains the design of an old sailing ship, the caravel
- 1:23Speaker 4: with crossed anchors and the words United States Navy on
- 1:27Speaker 4: the reverse side. It is suspended from a blue ribbon
- 1:31Speaker 4: with a narrow white stripe in the center. This rare
- 1:34Speaker 4: award is given to any person serving in any capacity
- 1:38Speaker 4: with the Naval Service of the United States who distinguishes
- 1:42Speaker 4: himself by extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against
- 1:47Speaker 4: an armed enemy. Individuals who have received the Navy Cross
- 1:52Speaker 4: include sailors who distinguish themselves during America's involvement with Japanese
- 1:57Speaker 4: operations in China from nineteen thirty seven seven to nineteen
- 2:00Speaker 4: thirty eight, and men of board the U s gunboat Pannai,
- 2:04Speaker 4: which was bombed and sunk in Chinese waters on December twelfth,
- 2:08Speaker 4: nineteen thirty seven. The Navy Cross stands for extraordinary accomplishment,
- 2:14Speaker 4: which a proud nation notes and acknowledges with gratitude. Who
- 2:19Speaker 4: is next for the Navy Cross. It can be any
- 2:22Speaker 4: dedicated seaman who so conducts himself as to be worthy
- 2:26Speaker 4: of the great tradition of this honored symbol of freedom,
- 2:30Speaker 4: the Navy Cross, and.
- 2:33Speaker 1: Now one chef well done, starring Maurice Marsak, a tale
- 2:43Speaker 1: well calculated to keep.
- 2:45Speaker 5: You in suspense.
- 2:49Speaker 6: Many times it is asked of me, how is it
- 2:52Speaker 6: that you, henriar Ricovet, have risen to the exhorted position
- 2:56Speaker 6: of chef de cuisine at such a tender rage, And
- 3:00Speaker 6: I Ari Ari Corbert shrug with modesty and reply, it
- 3:05Speaker 6: is because I've begun my apprenticeship in Paris when I
- 3:08Speaker 6: was but eleven. It is also because your America is
- 3:12Speaker 6: the land of opportunity. It is also because Monsieur Franccois
- 3:17Speaker 6: Pierre Couchem is no longer in the kitchens here at
- 3:20Speaker 6: the restaurant lesa Bergin d Rois. You do not understand
- 3:24Speaker 6: concerning Francois to permit me them to begin at the
- 3:29Speaker 6: command small. It was in the spring of nineteen oh
- 3:33Speaker 6: one that I applied for a position to Monsieur Smith,
- 3:37Speaker 6: proprietor of lesau Bergin Durrois.
- 3:39Speaker 7: Me.
- 3:40Speaker 8: I'm a Median potatoes man, Henry mead and potatoes fried
- 3:42Speaker 8: and plenty of bacon Greece. But I'm running this restaurant
- 3:45Speaker 8: for what they call the four hundred folks with more
- 3:47Speaker 8: money than brains, and they want French grub. So I
- 3:51Speaker 8: hire the best French chefs I can get, and then.
- 3:53Speaker 3: I leave them alone.
- 3:54Speaker 6: Oh told you, missus Smith.
- 3:55Speaker 5: Now I will start.
- 3:56Speaker 8: You want sauces, But if you can cook like your
- 3:58Speaker 8: recommendations say, you gonna move right up to the top.
- 4:01Speaker 6: The greatest Scotia himself once complimented Ma rite Vaux or could.
- 4:05Speaker 8: They Okay, if your sweet bread satisfies Kaffir, they ought
- 4:08Speaker 8: to satisfy.
- 4:09Speaker 6: Francois, Monsieur Hancois. He is the chef de cuisine.
- 4:13Speaker 8: Yeah, and you won't find a mina one in all
- 4:15Speaker 8: the forty five states. And until I can find somebody
- 4:18Speaker 8: half as good and twice as pleasant, I gotta keep him.
- 4:21Speaker 6: I am pleasant. I wish to be friends with everyone.
- 4:24Speaker 8: Okay, friend, are you proved to the customers and the
- 4:27Speaker 8: Francois that your first class are here? And I'll hope
- 4:31Speaker 8: by that time the cops will have saved me the
- 4:32Speaker 8: trouble of firing the cops, the police, the gendarmes. You see,
- 4:36Speaker 8: Henry Francois drinks.
- 4:38Speaker 6: But surely it is no concern of the gendarmes if
- 4:41Speaker 6: one takes a little wine.
- 4:43Speaker 5: Of course, it ain't for me.
- 4:45Speaker 8: Of the cops got a strong hunch that Francois also
- 4:47Speaker 8: murders Sucker Blue. Yep, that's why we're looking for a
- 4:50Speaker 8: new source.
- 4:51Speaker 6: Chef Sacra Sacra Blue.
- 4:53Speaker 8: Don't you worry the way I got it figured, it
- 4:56Speaker 8: just scares most people. The only ones he murders are
- 5:00Speaker 8: his best friends.
- 5:06Speaker 5: Idiot of a roat.
- 5:08Speaker 7: I instructed you to coach that Simon not to make
- 5:10Speaker 7: a stew of it. Get out of this kitchen before
- 5:13Speaker 7: I take my shop fast night.
- 5:14Speaker 8: You're miserable, stream and really, oh, Francois, don't come screaming
- 5:19Speaker 8: at me during the dinner preparation.
- 5:20Speaker 7: Messieur Smith, you stuff your kitchen with mutton headed fools
- 5:24Speaker 7: who cannot slice a charatte. You're stupid New York Gendarme.
- 5:28Speaker 7: Ask me with questions about poor Lucien's death. I'm today
- 5:32Speaker 7: my head as though it were a veal cutlet, becoming
- 5:35Speaker 7: a scallopini.
- 5:36Speaker 8: Now, Francois, don't get excited. I just want you to
- 5:39Speaker 8: meet the new sauce. Chef Monsieur Francois, Petty Kashan, Monsieur
- 5:44Speaker 8: Henry Harry cart vert bazoo.
- 5:47Speaker 5: Let's see what is bon about it? Can you cook?
- 5:50Speaker 8: Henry's god recommendations from escal fare asked.

- 5:59Speaker 7: your working clothes, and I brought the lais, and Thenise
- 6:04Speaker 7: and need buy some happy accident. All three do not
- 6:08Speaker 7: taste like a flower paste. You and I shall be
- 6:12Speaker 7: the best of friends.
- 6:20Speaker 6: In a moment.
- 6:21Speaker 1: We continue with the second act of.
- 6:24Speaker 2: Suspense, another visit with Joe and Daphne foreside.
- 6:30Speaker 3: Hey, Honey, I'm home. Jaffney drop dead? Oh what's the matter, honey?
- 6:37Speaker 9: Don't you speak to me? You you done one?
- 6:41Speaker 3: Done one? Daffy, I'm not done one?
- 6:44Speaker 8: Nobbles very funny, ha ha ha.
- 6:48Speaker 3: Well there was no prize.
- 6:49Speaker 10: Winner, but either are you you?
- 6:51Speaker 6: You lethereo?
- 6:53Speaker 3: I've often wondered, what's the ethereo?
- 6:56Speaker 9: I don't know, but that's what the wives on TV
- 6:58Speaker 9: always call their husband. I guess it applies.
- 7:01Speaker 3: Do you want me to go out and comment again?
- 7:03Speaker 8: As far as I'm.
- 7:04Speaker 9: Concerned, you can go for a long walk, preferably on
- 7:08Speaker 9: a short pier.
- 7:09Speaker 3: Well, oh, come on, Daphne, what's wrong?
- 7:12Speaker 9: You're a good friend. Harry called, and he spilled the beans.
- 7:16Speaker 3: Witch beans.
- 7:17Speaker 9: He said, quote, tell Joe, he was right about those blondes.
- 7:21Speaker 3: They're great.
- 7:23Speaker 9: Unquote blonds, that's what he said.
- 7:27Speaker 11: Well, he didn't say blonds, he said buns. Savings bonds.
- 7:33Speaker 3: What sure? I buy him on the payroll savings plan?
- 7:37Speaker 3: And I told Harry he ought to do it too.
- 7:40Speaker 11: Savings bonds have a guarantee of interest that pays back
- 7:43Speaker 11: four dollars for every three which is a pretty good investment.
- 7:47Speaker 9: That's a pretty good story too, It's true, so help me.
- 7:51Speaker 3: That's why Harry's so happy. Savings bonds are great.
- 7:55Speaker 9: Well, maybe you're right. You wouldn't really fool around with blondes,
- 8:00Speaker 9: would you. You're too faithful and sweet.
- 8:04Speaker 3: And kind and fast talking and now.
- 8:10Speaker 1: Starring Maurice Marshak at two of one chef, well done.
- 8:17Speaker 6: A pinch of mignonneut peppers, so a pinch of chovel,
- 8:22Speaker 6: one of darragons? So what are you doing preparing a bottless?
- 8:27Speaker 6: Can I permit me to concentrate?
- 8:30Speaker 9: You must be the new fellow from Peree.
- 8:32Speaker 6: My name is Shirley Mademoiselle. I scrub the vegetables, then
- 8:36Speaker 6: go scrub them.

- 8:41Speaker 9: to you, hango, But he had to lay down for
- 8:43Speaker 9: a while. Hmmm, gee, that stuff smells delicious when you whip.
- 8:48Speaker 8: It up like that.
- 8:49Speaker 6: I trust mister foss Wawer, so we'd approve you better.
- 8:52Speaker 9: Trust he won't. If he thinks you can cook, he'll
- 8:56Speaker 9: pretend to like you. And if he pretends to like you,
- 9:00Speaker 9: the same thing might happen to you as happened.
- 9:02Speaker 3: To Luc Who is this solution?
- 9:05Speaker 9: He was the last sauce chef. Oh franz One and
- 9:08Speaker 9: him got to drinking together, And one time they went

- 9:39Speaker 8: has just arrived. But I do not comprehend the richest
- 9:42Speaker 8: people in New York, and Francois was supposed to cock
- 9:44Speaker 8: up a Francy fellow. The beef guarded this matter sounds
- 9:47Speaker 8: of importance, Fi led the boeuf go da, I do
- 9:51Speaker 8: Henry remain calm? Tell miss Rugus dan JP shades of McKinley.
- 9:56Speaker 8: All is well, and trust, I guess I'll have to

- 10:47Speaker 3: Well? What time is it?
- 10:49Speaker 6: Ten minutes past the nine?
- 10:51Speaker 4: Ah?
- 10:52Speaker 7: Yes, some miserable American royalty is to dine at half
- 10:55Speaker 7: past the sixth, and I must prepare.
- 10:57Speaker 5: I feel it ten percent, Oh my philet, my file.
- 11:03Speaker 6: Or the pile was served. Monsieur Fos served a la goda.
- 11:07Speaker 6: I prepared the garnishment and the sauce.
- 11:11Speaker 5: You garnished my Fila.
- 11:14Speaker 7: Pig cabbage offspring of Attornip Henry, Henry, you hit a
- 11:19Speaker 7: home run first time at batters Smith. I have a
- 11:22Speaker 7: lamb to butcher bell mounted Morgan said it was the
- 11:25Speaker 7: finest beef guarder they ever read. They're coming back tomorrow,
- 11:28Speaker 7: and they left one hundred dollars tip for the chef.
- 11:30Speaker 5: Here are you know?
- 11:31Speaker 6: The gratuity must be given to Monsieur foss wa Why
- 11:34Speaker 6: it wasn't even here, but he returned at the moment
- 11:38Speaker 6: you left the kitchen. I did more.
- 11:41Speaker 8: Okay, then France, wat's your one hundred bucks? But think
- 11:44Speaker 8: you came back. This kid might have got your job.
- 11:48Speaker 3: Monami.
- 11:50Speaker 6: We French must stand side by side in this strange country.
- 11:54Speaker 7: What you have done is what Lucian would have done.
- 11:57Speaker 7: What you have said is what Lucian himself would have said. Come,
- 12:01Speaker 7: we shall toast the deer departed Lucien in his magnificent
- 12:06Speaker 7: sherry ps.
- 12:09Speaker 6: What happened to Lucien I do not know.
- 12:13Speaker 7: All I recall is that one night Lucien I went
- 12:17Speaker 7: on a magnificent ray, from which poor Lucien never returned.
- 12:23Speaker 6: You remember nothing else.
- 12:25Speaker 5: Only this.
- 12:26Speaker 7: Somewhere in the dim dark caverns of my memory, the
- 12:30Speaker 7: two of us center a large dark room with a
- 12:33Speaker 7: row of white beds, some sort of transient hotel. We
- 12:37Speaker 7: fell asleep, and I think that when I woke, his
- 12:40Speaker 7: bed and all the other beds were empty, And I
- 12:43Speaker 7: think I left rapidly and silently through a side.
- 12:46Speaker 3: Oh.
- 12:47Speaker 6: I think that's why my friend. Could you buy any
- 12:51Speaker 6: chance have murdered Lucian?
- 12:54Speaker 4: No?
- 12:54Speaker 7: No, no, no, no, at least I don't think I'm
- 12:58Speaker 7: murdered him. One day you shall help me to find out.
- 13:07Speaker 6: If he did not think you moreder Lucia, then I
- 13:09Speaker 6: Orria Corbert also refused to believe it. In spite of
- 13:13Speaker 6: our employer's views and those of the gendarmes, In spite
- 13:17Speaker 6: of the views of Shirley the vegetable baver.
- 13:21Speaker 9: You could be head chef here if you wanted to. Henry,
- 13:24Speaker 9: mister Smith keeps saying.
- 13:25Speaker 6: So, Franco and I constitute a two headed head chef.
- 13:29Speaker 6: It does not matter what title we are called by.
- 13:32Speaker 9: That's another thing. You're always hanging around with all friends
- 13:36Speaker 9: one instead of paying a little attention to me once
- 13:38Speaker 9: in a while, and what.
- 13:39Speaker 6: Could you contribute to a discussion of classic cookery?
- 13:43Speaker 9: Is cooking all you French guys think.
- 13:45Speaker 6: About when I think of other matters, Do I not
- 13:48Speaker 6: seek your company?
- 13:49Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 13:50Speaker 9: And you always try to get me drunk, just like
- 13:53Speaker 9: Lucien used to.
- 13:55Speaker 6: I believe Lucian and I would have had a great
- 13:57Speaker 6: deal in common.
- 13:59Speaker 9: That's what I keep telling you, Henry. If you don't
- 14:01Speaker 9: quit being friends with France, WI, you and motion will
- 14:05Speaker 9: be dead in coming. And when you are, don't come
- 14:08Speaker 9: to me for sympathy.
- 14:12Speaker 6: One who is too stupid to cook cannot understand one
- 14:15Speaker 6: whose whole life is cookery. But France one and I
- 14:19Speaker 6: we understand each other perfect more. And often when the
- 14:23Speaker 6: diners have departed and the kitchen help had gone, we
- 14:26Speaker 6: would remain at the restaurant and create magnificent dishes and love.
- 14:31Speaker 7: I mean, the question is how shall we prepare this large.
- 14:35Speaker 5: Corn fed ham?
- 14:37Speaker 3: First?
- 14:38Speaker 6: I have a question for you, frost one.
- 14:40Speaker 9: Ah.
- 14:40Speaker 6: I have found in the Spirit pantry a case of
- 14:43Speaker 6: these strange bottles. The label is printed in American, and
- 14:47Speaker 6: while I now speak the language like a native, I
- 14:50Speaker 6: do not yet read it.
- 14:51Speaker 7: So nifty, I let me see all those keyboard Bourbon Whiskey,
- 14:57Speaker 7: one hundred proof bottled in Bond.
- 15:00Speaker 8: Oh.
- 15:00Speaker 7: Yes, sorry, this is an American cooking wine made from
- 15:04Speaker 7: the fermented juice of the corn.
- 15:06Speaker 5: They steed, Monamy, well your.
- 15:12Speaker 6: Turned frostper Monamie, I have an inspiration. We shall create
- 15:18Speaker 6: a sauce for the corn fed hand from this corn
- 15:21Speaker 6: flavored wine. So why do you will if it is bad?
- 15:27Speaker 6: We shall simply fit it to mister Smith.
- 15:29Speaker 7: No, no, no, Monamy, I weep because to Tacou I
- 15:33Speaker 7: to have the inspiration. Now we shall at last discover
- 15:37Speaker 7: the fate.
- 15:38Speaker 5: Of poor Lucian.
- 15:39Speaker 6: You believe that he died from eating ham.
- 15:42Speaker 10: No no, no, no, no no.
- 15:43Speaker 7: On the very evening, Lucian and I embarked upon our
- 15:46Speaker 7: last warey. He too thought to create a corn wine
- 15:49Speaker 7: sauce for a hand. And when we had tasted enough
- 15:52Speaker 7: of this, uske about to determine its properties. Its properties
- 15:56Speaker 7: led us on the grand exploration, from which he did
- 15:59Speaker 7: not return.
- 16:00Speaker 6: Ah, you believe that a bottle or two or three
- 16:03Speaker 6: might teat us on a similar grad exploration.
- 16:07Speaker 7: Even now, incidents I could not recall begin to take
- 16:10Speaker 7: shape in my memory. If only I can recall the
- 16:13Speaker 7: very incident of Lucien's departure, perhaps.
- 16:16Speaker 5: Even the idiot gendarme will leave me in peace. Oh Madami.
- 16:19Speaker 7: We shall try to retrace every beautiful fatal step, and
- 16:25Speaker 7: you shall play the part of Lucian.
- 16:35Speaker 1: In just a moment, we continue with the third act of.
- 16:40Speaker 5: Suspense.
- 16:41Speaker 10: We have together ample capacity in freedom to defend freedom.
- 16:48Speaker 10: This is NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Soviet dominated
- 16:54Speaker 10: nations are held together only by political and military coercion.
- 16:58Speaker 10: The strengthened fiber of NATO lies in the fundamental unity
- 17:01Speaker 10: in the face of dangers which threaten. Thanks to this
- 17:05Speaker 10: solid fundamental unity, NATO nations can overcome difficulties and bring
- 17:09Speaker 10: into harmony their individual points of view. The United States
- 17:13Speaker 10: of America is a part of NATO. You should be
- 17:15Speaker 10: aware of and alert to the objectives and programs of
- 17:19Speaker 10: the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
- 17:22Speaker 1: And now, starring Maurice Marsak, Act three of one chef
- 17:30Speaker 1: well done.
- 17:32Speaker 6: And thus after the third bottle of old muskaport RoboN
- 17:36Speaker 6: corn wine, the source was not completed. For I dimly
- 17:40Speaker 6: remember that at this point Franz Vyin and I we
- 17:42Speaker 6: were somehow standing in the corner of fourteenth Street and
- 17:46Speaker 6: the broad Way, and seven horse cars already had gone
- 17:49Speaker 6: by now the eighth approached.
- 17:53Speaker 5: I cannot be any your scar.
- 17:56Speaker 7: The one on which Lucian I embarked was driven by
- 17:59Speaker 7: an old chessn that man named Mabel.
- 18:01Speaker 6: Well we must have went the same car this card to.
- 18:04Speaker 5: The last straight masstraight and forted fish market.
- 18:07Speaker 6: Apollo monsieur. Who is the noble horse who pulls your conveyance?

- 18:35Speaker 5: Well, Mabel has brought us to the right place.
- 18:38Speaker 8: Sure, Rony was with another guy, Lookie or something like that,
- 18:42Speaker 8: you call him.
- 18:43Speaker 7: The excellence of your memory is exceeded only by the
- 18:46Speaker 7: charm of your establishment. Now we we must seek the
- 18:50Speaker 7: hotel from which Lucy I'll never write down.

- 19:02Speaker 8: don't you just write your names and addresses on these
- 19:04Speaker 8: cardboard tags and tie them to your wrists. Then if
- 19:06Speaker 8: you pass out somewhere, the cops will delivery nelsy you
- 19:10Speaker 8: are a true friend, I don't mention it.
- 19:12Speaker 3: And what's yours? Yes?

- 19:25Speaker 12: But why our true friend is a spy of the Gendarme.
- 19:29Speaker 12: But we have now outwitted him.
- 19:36Speaker 6: You are sure this is the street?
- 19:38Speaker 5: I think? I am sure. What's the matter?
- 19:42Speaker 6: Oh, it's nothing. I have simply run into a building.
- 19:46Speaker 5: Then it is the hotel we seek. Lucy On discovered
- 19:50Speaker 5: it in your same way.
- 19:51Speaker 6: But where is the entrance and the test for registration, ma'am?
- 19:56Speaker 5: I find pigeon. I wish I saved the s team
- 19:58Speaker 5: they would child.
- 20:00Speaker 7: I can go up to the silentrance, which, as you
- 20:02Speaker 7: shall see, opens directly into a large room.
- 20:05Speaker 5: Of many beds.
- 20:07Speaker 7: There, I am sure we will discover what happened to
- 20:10Speaker 7: poor Lucien.
- 20:14Speaker 6: I remember, and yet I do not remember. We seem
- 20:18Speaker 6: to be in a cavernous place of gloom, with sleeping
- 20:23Speaker 6: figures upon narrow white beds. It seemed that we found
- 20:27Speaker 6: two beds empty and side by side. When I lay down,
- 20:33Speaker 6: the bed seemed cool and hard. But I am tired,
- 20:38Speaker 6: and soon I fall into the deep slumber. Then I awaken,
- 20:44Speaker 6: and I am unsure that I am truly awake, cold
- 20:48Speaker 6: gray light, the feeling that I am alone.
- 20:50Speaker 3: In the room.
- 20:52Speaker 6: No, there on the next bed, Francois slumbers, So I
- 20:55Speaker 6: am awake. No two men come and lift the sleeping
- 21:01Speaker 6: Frances are to a cart with wheels. This cannot be,
- 21:05Speaker 6: so I am still asleep. Their voices are as part
- 21:08Speaker 6: of my dream.

- 21:13Speaker 3: That's life here today, in God tomorrow.
- 21:16Speaker 6: So I dreamed that the wheel frosts were off on
- 21:18Speaker 6: the cart to a far end of the room. I
- 21:21Speaker 6: dreamed that in the wall a small door opens, and
- 21:26Speaker 6: as it opens, I dream that a cheery fire blazes beyond.
- 21:31Speaker 6: Then the door shuts, and I dream a strange and
- 21:39Speaker 6: I dream that I'm running. And when I awaken, I
- 21:42Speaker 6: am outside the hotel. I walk around to the front
- 21:46Speaker 6: of the building. Over the doorway are painted in American
- 21:50Speaker 6: words the name of the establishmentsieur, Yeah, your language, I
- 21:56Speaker 6: speak with perfection, But I do not read it so nifty.
- 22:00Speaker 6: What means those words silver play?
- 22:02Speaker 4: No, they don't mean sillable play, just says New York
- 22:06Speaker 4: Morgue entrance to Crematory.
- 22:09Speaker 6: Oh massive. And Thus, because France Wise is no longer
- 22:16Speaker 6: here in the kitchens of the restaurant Aubergin d'urrois, I
