Whether expenditures you make are justified will of course depend entirely upon the returns you may receive. I however feel that you will be amply compensated by the increase in your circulation and by numerous friends you will make. Here is a concrete example. For years the_Literary Digest has boasted of the fact that it is used as a reference book among school children. My one and only interest in your broadcast is that it appeals to my children, who are of school age and I feel that among this element you will be building up a following which...

Murder mysteries are easy to parody because they depend upon complications which can easily be exaggerated into absurdity and because audiences, chilled by touches of the macabre, are ready to giggle with relief as well whenever the macabre bubbles over into the incredible. Strangers of the Evening, adapted from Tiffany Thayer's story The Illustrious Corpse, starts in an undertaker's parlor where a young embalmer (Harold Waldridge) is preparing to exercise his talents on a freshly laid out corpse. When two strangers enter the establishment with another corpse, he becomes confused; when...
