The Adventures of Mr. and Mrs. Noah, starring Alice Frost and Joseph Curtin, and brought to you by
Woodbury, Wood Berry, Wood Barry. For the skin you love to touch.
Oh.
Jerry and Pamela North, those lovable, laughable solvers of mystery. For years you've read about them in books and magazines. You've seen them on the stage and on the screen. Now here they are in person in the adventures of Mr. and Mrs. North.
Joseph's is a little Russian restaurant tucked away on one of the side streets of midtown Manhattan. And here we find Jerry and Pamela North just finishing dinner. There's a popular belief among epicures that music hath power to aid digestion, but Jerry has some doubt about this.
Oh boy, listen to that fiddle. No wonder there's hardly anybody in the place.
Shh, Jerry, I want to hear.
What? Pam, please. It's dreadful. But
Jerry, that poor fella's playing with his heart.
Oh, that's it. I was blaming it all on the violin.
I suppose if a swing band were going full blast, you'd think it was dandy.
Well, at least I could keep time while I chewed. Oh. Come on. Are you finished?
How do Jerry and Pam discover the murder in Joseph’s Russian restaurant?
Let's get out of here.
All right, dear.
Wait a Oh wait a
Here, let me help you with the coat here.
Ah,
gentlemen. Lady. It was all to your satisfaction. Oh
yes, thank you.
My wife even likes the music. Oh, thank you. Thank you.
Дмитрий You know Go back to the kitchen. Oh, does he cook
too?
Nivate. Oh no, he washes the dishes. My wife, she cooked.
Oh, are are you the proprietor?
No, lady. I own the restaurant. Oh. I am Joseph. Dimitri is my brother. Basia, he's my wife.
I see, a family affair. I suppose the girl in the check room is your sister.
No, that is not possible. But the doorman, he's my uncle. Vassoff.
Oh, how nice. Isn't that nice, Jerry? Oh dear, will you give me a uh coat check? My compacts in your overcoat pocket.
Well, well let's see. Oh, here it is.
I'll fix my face while you're paying the check. See you in the lobby, Jerry.
Now uh gentlemen, let me see. Have you the bill? Oh yes, even now I subtract it. And did now Who?
Ah so Two hundred and forty dollars. What? Let me see. Perhaps it is wrong?
No, no, no. Not very. It's two dollars and forty cents. But that's ham. I'm coming, Pam.
I'm coming. Jerry, it's terrible. It's
in heaven's name, what happened?
Look. There in the check room.
Where?
Over the table. What?
Good. Lost.
Jerry, I think she's dead.
She certainly is. That's a stiletto in her back.
We'll rejoin Mr and Mrs. North in just a moment. But meanwhile, ladies, do you realise for just ten cents you can buy a trial sized jar of Woodbury Cold Cream, a cream proved to give as fine or even finer beauty results than the costliest creams? And I mean proved. Proved by a test among more than one thousand women. These women use six leading creams, including Woodbury Cold Cream and some of the costliest brands you could name. The creams were all in plain, unlabeled jars. Yet the majority of the women picked one cream as definitely best Woodbury Cold Cream. Actually they preferred woodberry even to those costliest creams. But here's why Woodbury is so outstanding. Its four special ingredients and its fine oils cleanse thoroughly, leave your skin feeling gloriously fresh and clean.
They lubricate, help ward off aging dryness. They make your skin gorgeously softer and smoother.
What evidence do the detectives find in the check‑room after the body is discovered?
And besides, there's an element working in the jar to keep the cream absolutely pure, and no other cream at any price has that. Why not send out now for Woodbury Cold Cream? If your skin isn't lovelier after using it only seven days, return that jar to Woodbury at Cincinnati, Ohio, and you'll get double your money back. Regular sizes at twenty-five cents, fifty cents, seventy-five cents, and a big economy jar at a dollar and a quarter. Remember, Woodbury will save you so much compared with your former expensive cream that you can buy more war stamps and bonds. And Uncle Sam will like that. Tonight start using Woodbury.
