The Shadow was a fictional character created by American magazine publishers Street & Smith and writer Walter B. Gibson. He was an invincible crime fighter who possessed many gifts which enabled him to overcome any enemy. In addition to his great strength, he defied gravity, spoke any language, unraveled any codes and most notably, he became invisible with his ability to "cloud men's minds." The Shadow was originally created to be a mysterious radio show narrator but developed into a distinct literary character. The Shadow has been adapted in many forms of media, such as American comic books, comic strips, serials, video games, and at least five feature films.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
Who knows what evil looks in the hearts of men,
A shadow knows.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Once again, the mutual network brings you the thrilling adventures
of the shadow, the hard and relentless fight of one
man against the forces of evil. These dramatizations are designed
to demonstrate, forcibly to old and young alike, that crime
does not pay. Inflation can work the same way in
peace that it did in war. Prices rise when goods
(00:54):
are scarce and people have money. Instead of making your
daughters shrink by spending them needless when prices are high,
why not make them grow with interest by investing in
United States savings bonds. Here's the way it works. Seventy
five dollars invested now each month in US savings E
bonds will in ten years turn into an income of
(01:14):
one hundred dollars each month for as long a period
as you bought the bonds. It's as simple and as
sure as that, and easiest. When you use the payroll
savings plan without missing a dollar, you'll be amazed how
savings grow the E bond way, four dollars for every
three But now the shadow, the shadow who aids the
(01:35):
forces of law and orders in reality, la Mont Cranston,
wealthy young man about town. Years ago in the Orient,
Cranston learned a strange and mysterious secret, the hypnotic power
to cloud men's minds so they cannot see him. Cranston's
friend and companion, the lovely Margot Lane, is the only
person who knows to whom the voice of the invisible
(01:56):
Shadow belongs. Today's drama My and Over Murder.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Did you ring, miss Emily?
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Yes? Brooks? Oh yes? Would you light the lamps?
Speaker 5 (02:20):
Please?
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Very good, Miss Emily. Is there anything else?
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Oh? I'm so lonely, Brooks. Please sit down.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
By miss Emily. I'm only a servant in your household.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
But you're the only one I can talk to. Please Brooks.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Very well, miss Emily. But suppose your sisters, Miss Abigail
and Miss Matilda were.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
To I don't care. They're mean. I can't stand and
live with those miserable, coughing old maids anymore.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
They have made you life unhappy, haven't they?
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Oh, take me away, Brooks.
Speaker 6 (03:07):
I love you, you know.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
I love you. Let's run away from this house together.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
But you'd never be happy, miss Emily. Living on the
salary that Butler could offer you.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
You mean you'd never be happy.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
I'm thinking only of you, Miss Emily. I want you
to be happy in your proper place in life.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Oh Brooks, you do love me?
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Yes, Miss Emily, you know I do.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Oh well, Abigail is inherited everything, and my next oldest sister,
Matilda inherits it from her. They can't live much longer
then I fall in line. Just be patient, Brooks.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
We can wait, but we'll both be quite old by then.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Oh yes, but what can we do, Brooks except waite?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Why not see to it that uf Both your sisters
die sooner than we expect and die There are ways
that they could die which need not involve us.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
I I don't know what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Suicide is away. The town knows how eccentric this whole
family is. If it looked as though they killed themselves,
it could be so easy, Miss Emily, first the oldest,
Miss Abigail, then Miss Matilda next, and then the fortune
would be ours and w But I'm afraid I'm shocking you.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Oh no, no, Brooks, you're not shocking me. Suicide. Oh
but do you think they really would do it?
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (05:20):
What a day, Margot. I admire your spirit collecting for
the Red Cross. I admire your energy, I admire your stamma,
but you're wearing me out.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
I have just two.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
More homes to visit, Darling, and then we'll relax some
place that didn't I look at that group of people
standing over there, y'athery, looking up at something in that
old house across the street.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
I guess, uggle, wait what Look? There's a woman, an
old woman, standing up in that attic window ledge above
the street.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
She's going to jump, but there's someone behind her that
they're going to grab us.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
I thought I saw someone too for a woman.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
Oh, yes, she is going back and she no, she
Isn't she jumped?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Maybe not, Maybe she was pushed.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
We are, Margot, Why Lama, this is the house the
old lady jumped from last night?
Speaker 1 (06:18):
I know, Darling. I didn't tell you where we were coming,
but I thought we should pay our respects for old
miss Abigail tonight.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Miss Abigail, you didn't tell me you knew where.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I didn't until today. I've been talking with some friends
of theirs, friends who've known the family for years.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
Then you don't think she jumped last night?
Speaker 2 (06:36):
You think the old.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Lady was killed don't you well.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
She's the first suicide I've ever known. Margaret to jump
off a window ledge backwards.
Speaker 5 (06:46):
Oh you know there's something unhealthy, something evil.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Looking about this house.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Good evening, I'm in the Mount Cranston. This is miss Lane.
We've come to pay our respects. Miss Ail very.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Well coming, please, I'll tell miss Emily you're here.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Who's Miss Emily, the youngest of three girls? There's another
Miss Matilda who's still living here.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
There's a coffin across the hole there in the parlor.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
What a shadow is?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Dismal room? There's no life for those candles. The yes,
you must be miss Emma. We were both friends of
miss Abigail, so Brooks told me.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
I suppose she did have friends with Matilda and I
never met. They must have been so tragic for you,
your sister's sudden death. Please excuse my sister Matilda for
not appearing. She's so upset by.
Speaker 7 (07:50):
Not that upset, Emily. I can look at her now.
If you didn't want me to see her, did you?
You're afraid of what I might say?
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Better go to your room.
Speaker 7 (08:01):
You can't pass me now. I hold the purse string
to this family.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Now keep away, from that comin.
Speaker 7 (08:09):
I laugh in her face, I laugh in her dead face.
Now you both.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Think I'm crazy. I'm dreadfully sorry, mister Creston. My sister
is completely undone.
Speaker 7 (08:22):
Don't you start trying to boss me or do you
want something to happen to you, Tom, Mister Carter, our lawyer,
he's on my side now. He's my friend against both
of you. He told me I inherit all the money
now and I can laugh at Abigail.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
Now you're dead, Abigail, and I've.
Speaker 7 (08:46):
Got the money.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Matilda, stop this this instant come away from that.
Speaker 6 (08:52):
You have the money and Emily the good looks.
Speaker 7 (08:55):
But I'm in charge now, Mathilda, don't.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
You ever strike me again.
Speaker 8 (09:07):
I run this house now, I run this house now.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Oh, I'm so sorry this had to happen. You can
understand why I'm afraid to leave her alone. And mister
Carter and our family lawyer is the only one who
can control her.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
Of course, Lamark, we really should leave.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
I'll show you.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
To the door.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (09:33):
Again.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
I'm very sorry. She's terribly upstairstand good evening, mister Cranston.
Miss Lane, I must go to my sister now, good.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Night, Good night. Oh poor miss Yes, looks like she
has plenty on her hands, and.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
Miss Matilda seems glad her sister was dead.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yes, so their lawyer, Carter is the only one Matilda trusts. Margaol.
Let's go see mister Carter. I know this is most unusual,
(10:19):
mister Carter, but we thought you should know. Miss Matilda's
quite definitely upset.
Speaker 9 (10:22):
I know that, mister Cranston. Miss Matilda's always been rather odd.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
But if she's come into all this money, that is
I suppose that is true. That is a family matter,
mister Cranston. I don't think I'm in a position to.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
Say, well, mister Carter, we've only come as friends, and
because we think that Miss Emily might be.
Speaker 9 (10:40):
In dangerous there's really nothing I can tell you now
if you should me.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Certainly, we are sorry to have bothered you, mister Carter.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
Bye, Darling, that was a brushof I was right, man,
you know something he's not telling Well maybe, but we
certainly didn't get very far.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Margo. Somehow I've got to get a look at that will.
Tilda doesn't have it everything, and she's mentally unbalanced.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Look I mind, is mister cart coming out of office
now we're cross into the telephone booth.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Yes, it's funny. He wouldn't use his own office telephone.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
He didn't want to take a chance on being overheard.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Obviously, I'm going over to that booth.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Wait here, darling, and be right back. Not the shadow,
he won't. I'm sure I have a nico Chin there
it is he see four seven two three ac Acroy

Speaker 9 (11:45):
Hell live mis Chakata. Matters must be arranged tonight.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
We can't wait any longer.
Speaker 9 (11:55):
Yes, as I'll be there.
Speaker 10 (11:57):
Right away, allset, Margot.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
I checked on the number he called.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
How did you do that?
Speaker 1 (12:12):
I watched him dial and I called the telephone company
the number Ackroy for seven two three? Is that house, Margot?
Crazy Matilda. We've got to get back to that house
right away, Margot. Miss Emily may really be in danger.
Speaker 6 (12:25):
Now, who's that Emily?
Speaker 5 (12:38):
Mathilda?
Speaker 7 (12:39):
Yes, what's Brook's doing with you?
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Don't get excited, miss Matilda. We both know that you're upset.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
Why are you closing that door?
Speaker 4 (12:48):
Get out of here, Get out.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
Of my room.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Look at those nice long, sharp scissors, Miss Emily and
Miss Matilda's dressing table here I was.
Speaker 7 (12:55):
Cutting out clippings from the newspapers about Abigail's suicide.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
You're upset and hysterical over her sad death, aren't you, Matilda.
I'm not.
Speaker 7 (13:05):
I'm happy I've got the money now.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Oh no, Matilda, you're so upset mentally you really don't
want to go on living anymore.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Yes, that's right, Miss Emily. Our visitors this afternoon can
testify that you've gone quite out of your mind with grief.
You want to die, Miss Matilda.
Speaker 7 (13:27):
Cheap away, don't come near me, put down no scissors.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
But you want to kill yourself, Matilla.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Here, let me press your fingers tightly around these shears.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
You want to commit suicide, Matilda, to kill yourself over
poor Abigail's death. No, I won't kill myself. Oh no,
I know Abigail didn't kill herself.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
You did it.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
The two of you takes, Miss Matilda.
Speaker 7 (13:55):
You're hurting my hands.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
I won't take them.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
I'll give them to you.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Whose death.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Yes, and your hands were around the scissors, my hands
on top of yours. And when they find you dead,
Miss Matilda, only your fingerprints will be on the shears.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
We're battling their way through the streets of Cologne. Your
Red Cross girls were there directly behind the lines, dispensing
cheer and doughnuts to the battle weary gis. Today, your
Red Cross is still there with the Army of Occupation.
We have silenced the behar Machs, but your Red Cross
still fights a battle, a battle against loneness. Let's not
forget the low Point Boys still overseas. There are more
(14:47):
than one million, five hundred thousand of them spread out
all over the world, including for saken Islands in the Pacific.
Many of us already have forgotten, but your Red Cross
never forgets. It's still there with our rear guard, helping
to make life a little brighter, helping to ease the burden. Yes,
the job of the Army of Occupation, according to both
Generals Eisenhower and MacArthur, would be ten times tougher if
(15:11):
it were not for the Red Cross activities overseas. For
the man now overseas, the warmth and hospitality of the
Red Cross Recreation Club is the one bright spot in
their arduous task yet to be completed. The Red Cross
Club is g I Joe's home away from home, and
wherever he sees the sign of the Red Cross, he
knows that America isn't really thousands of miles away. So
(15:33):
give as generously as you can to help your Red
Cross fight this battle against loneliness, as well as all
its other conflicts with disaster. Now again, the Shadow.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
Criston, Miss Lane Matilda Killeth help.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
With her own pair of cities.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
We've summoned the doctor. That's who we thought it was.
Speaker 8 (15:56):
When we had you ring horrible.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Where were you, miss Emily when this happened. Oh we
were downstairs. I was serving tea. Miss Emily asked Miss
Matilda to join her, but you refused. Miss Matilla's been
acting rather peculiarly lately. I see, miss Emily. Where is
your lawyer, mister Carter? Well, I just tried to phone him,
mister Cranston, but he's gone out.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
He hasn't been here.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
No, no, he hasn't been here. Of course, he has
his own key, and he comes and goes as he chooses,
Miss Emily. Oh, what's wrong with that? He's known as figures.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Someone just came in downstairs, perhaps, said mister Carton.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Now wait here, I'll go up in the hall and
see who it is. Carter.
Speaker 9 (16:38):
Oh, Mis Gramston, you're here, something's happened.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
What's wrong? Been another death in the family, mister Carter.
Now the sister has just killed herself, Miss Matilda.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
How horrible I was afraid of that.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
I must go to it, mister Carter.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
It's Matilda. She's killed herself too.
Speaker 9 (16:57):
Emily Darling, I'm terrible or horrible.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
Oh, say goodness, you are here. Oh what a comfort
having you here when they both died so treaduous.
Speaker 9 (17:07):
Now don't worry, Emily. I'll take care of everything. I'll
handle everything.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
We've summoned the doctor.
Speaker 8 (17:11):
Mister Carter.
Speaker 9 (17:12):
Well, I I'd better go back to.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
The office and make arrangements for the funeral and everything.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Oh not now, mister Carter, not yet, Please, I'll be.
Speaker 9 (17:19):
Back, Miss Emily. I must go back now.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
All these details well, they.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Just can't wait. I'm afraid we better leave too, now,
miss Emily. If there's anything we can do, just oh you're.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
You're very kind to Cranston. No, there's nothing right now.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
From then, Margot, we better be going now. We have
some business too that can't wait.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
So Mont you're going in to see mister Carter now,
aren't you?
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Yes, be alone in his office, and now this time
of night.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
What do you suspect?
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Carter has plenty to tell, darling, And right now the
shadow is going to find out just what he's hiding
and how much he knows.
Speaker 9 (18:06):
Everything's in orders so far to the house.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
The money.
Speaker 9 (18:11):
Yes, here's the will. In the event that all three
sisters should perish.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Estate shall be the sole property of this legal representative
and family lawyer. So that's what you are hiding, mister Carter.
Who's that a shadow? Mister Carter? The shadow has discovered
the secret you're trying to hide.
Speaker 7 (18:26):
Nough, No, no, it can't be.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
I can't see him you when I yet, I hear
a voice, voice that reaches the will over your shoulder.
The shadow knows you inherit a house in fortune. When
the three sisters die, they.
Speaker 9 (18:38):
Killed themselves, both Miss Abigail and Miss Matilda.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
You kill them, Carter, as you plan to kill miss
Emily in a Let me out, Let me out of here.
You listen to my voice, laptor, can you get a wall,
let me go, something holding me. You kill those two
sisters to inherit their money. You were in the house
when Miss Abigail was pushed from that ledge. You were
in that house earlier tonight and returned playing innocent after
killing Miss Matilla with her own pair of shares. That's
a lie. You knew she was dead when you came
(19:02):
into that house. You named her instead of miss Emily
before you knew which was dead. You want really, you
can't be How do you know those things? There's more proof,
Miss but Tilda didn't kill herself tonight. She did. Poor
frail little misster Tilda couldn't have driven those crews here
so deeply into her preast alone.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
You do know who are you?
Speaker 1 (19:22):
The shadow? Yes, the Shadow knows, and you'll hang No now.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
I'll tell you I didn't do it. I didn't kill
those two sisters. Brooks killed them that eye, Brooks killed
them both.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Yet you not Brooks's name? Next in that will, I'd
promise to share with him when all three were out
of the way, and miss Emily is next, Yes, miss
Emily is next, the next on the list. Shadow goes
to miss Emily now the first time going to see
you go to the police and give yourself up, and
then Brooks will be next.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Brook Miss Emily, what are you doing up here in
my room?
Speaker 4 (20:08):
I want to talk to you, Brooks.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
What do you want, we can be married.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Now we've got the money and both my sisters are gone.
When will we be married?
Speaker 8 (20:20):
Brooks, We're not getting married, miss Emily.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
What are you saying?
Speaker 3 (20:26):
You've been a fool?
Speaker 4 (20:27):
You you said you loved me.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
I love you, Miss Emily.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
No, you're all I want.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
I've nothing to live for.
Speaker 7 (20:42):
You leave me now.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
I can't go on like this.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
All alone.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
There is a way out, only one way out now
for you, one way out, the way your sisters chose.
They're at peace now. Oh, it needn't be an agony
with heavy, crude scissors cutting deep into your flesh.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
It needn't be a screaming.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Nightmare looking down, watching the pavement rise up to smash
your body and face.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
No, I couldn't.
Speaker 5 (21:11):
I couldn't.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
It could be so quick and easy.
Speaker 8 (21:14):
Miss Emily.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Oh what's that in your hand?
Speaker 8 (21:19):
There is an old.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Fashioned straight razor. Look at that blade, cold and bright,
Two sharp, clean cuts across the wrists, and you have
no memories to face, no more years of loneliness in
this house alone, cross my ray. Yes, just run your
finger across that sharp blade. Yeah, now you see you've
cut yourself. Your finger's bleeding.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
I didn't even feel a thing.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
No, it could be as easy as that. Doesn't take
courage when one has no other choice, no other choice,
no other choice, Miss Emily. I'm going now.
Speaker 8 (21:59):
Shall I leave the rays with you?
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Miss Emily?
Speaker 8 (22:04):
You want the razor?
Speaker 4 (22:06):
Yes, Brooks, I'll take the raisin.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Will let be old, miss Emily?
Speaker 4 (22:14):
No, No, that's not all, Brooks. I have the raizor now,
and I'm going to slitch your throat, you devil. I'll
slit your throat. You can't leave me your hands.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
You can't harm me.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Now. You thought you.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Could talk me into killing myself. You'd like that, wouldn't you.
All you want is the money, is you fool?
Speaker 3 (22:42):
And I'm going to get it. If I have to
kill you myself, they'll never find your body. You're coming
down into the cellar with me. Yes, the furnace. There's
a roaring fire burning down there. One blow will do
the trick.
Speaker 8 (22:58):
That did it, miss Emily.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Now I'll carry you down to the basement.
Speaker 8 (23:05):
And the furnace, down down, Miss Emily.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Asleep in my arms. It's warmer already, even though you
can't feel the fire in this dark cellar room. Look
at that heavy furnace door. Too bad, you can't see.
I'll throw open the door. Perhaps you can hear the
roar of the flames. Listen to the roar of those flames,
(23:53):
Miss Emily. They shout death.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Can you hear, yes, Brooks, shout death, but to you,
not to her. That voice in the flames.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
It's coming out of the.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Fire, cleansing, burning fire, bringing justice for your crimes.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
There is a voice coming from the fire.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
The Shadow has found you, Brooks, and takes Miss Emily's
party from you.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
Now, somebody snatches from my arms face.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
The fire, Brooks. The fire of truth burns brightly. Carter
has confessed. You'll go down for your sins with.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
Him, Carter.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Somebody knows the voice knows, the shadow speaks the truth.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
Brooks.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
I'm not afraid of a voice. You won't get me.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
I'll get out of here. There is no escape now, Brooks.
I'll get out of the cellar. I'll get out of here.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Oh, something's grabbed me.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
But I can't see anyone, nothing but the shadows of
the flames casting fear in your heart. But another shadow
has caught and holds you.
Speaker 7 (24:55):
Let me go.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
As shadow has strength to Brooks, strength, you can not see,
but that you shall feel. Your body will rest there
on the cellar floor beside miss Emily in the firelight
until the police arrive. The shadow will see that justice
(25:22):
is done.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
So it was mister Carter and Brooks who engineered the
whole deal.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
After all is Margot Carter was to take over the
estate as sole executor, and Brooks was in a perfect
position to kill all three sisters.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
But why did he en miss miss Emily.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Day a perfect blind in case anything went wrong? Margaret
having one of the sisters trusting.
Speaker 5 (26:00):
Him and on his side, and then he meant to
kill her as colo years The.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Ily of it is Margaret that, in her unbalanced way,
Miss Emily must have really loved books. Her reaction when
she heard the verdict pronounced sentence books received because if
she hadn't been restrained, she'd have been the only one
of the three strange sisters who really did commit suicide.

Once again, the mutual network brings you the thrilling adventures
of the shadow, the hard and relentless fight of one
man against the forces of evil. These dramatizations are designed
to demonstrate, forcibly to old and young alike, that crime
does not pay. Inflation can work the same way in
peace that it did in war. Prices rise when goods
(00:54):
are scarce and people have money. Instead of making your
daughters shrink by spending them needless when prices are high,
why not make them grow with interest by investing in
United States savings bonds. Here's the way it works. Seventy
five dollars invested now each month in US savings E
bonds will in ten years turn into an income of
(01:14):
one hundred dollars each month for as long a period
as you bought the bonds. It's as simple and as
sure as that, and easiest. When you use the payroll
savings plan without missing a dollar, you'll be amazed how
savings grow the E bond way, four dollars for every
three But now the shadow, the shadow who aids the

forces of law and orders in reality, la Mont Cranston,
wealthy young man about town. Years ago in the Orient,
Cranston learned a strange and mysterious secret, the hypnotic power
to cloud men's minds so they cannot see him. Cranston's
friend and companion, the lovely Margot Lane, is the only
person who knows to whom the voice of the invisible
(01:56):
Shadow belongs. Today's drama My and Over Murder.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Did you ring, miss Emily?
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Yes? Brooks? Oh yes? Would you light the lamps?
Speaker 5 (02:20):
Please?
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Very good, Miss Emily. Is there anything else?
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Oh? I'm so lonely, Brooks. Please sit down.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
By miss Emily. I'm only a servant in your household.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
But you're the only one I can talk to. Please Brooks.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Very well, miss Emily. But suppose your sisters, Miss Abigail
and Miss Matilda were.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
To I don't care. They're mean. I can't stand and
live with those miserable, coughing old maids anymore.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
They have made you life unhappy, haven't they?
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Oh, take me away, Brooks.
Speaker 6 (03:07):
I love you, you know.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
I love you. Let's run away from this house together.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
But you'd never be happy, miss Emily. Living on the
salary that Butler could offer you.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
You mean you'd never be happy.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
I'm thinking only of you, Miss Emily. I want you
to be happy in your proper place in life.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Oh Brooks, you do love me?
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Yes, Miss Emily, you know I do.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Oh well, Abigail is inherited everything, and my next oldest sister,
Matilda inherits it from her. They can't live much longer
then I fall in line. Just be patient, Brooks.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
We can wait, but we'll both be quite old by then.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Oh yes, but what can we do, Brooks except waite?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Why not see to it that uf Both your sisters
die sooner than we expect and die There are ways
that they could die which need not involve us.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
I I don't know what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Suicide is away. The town knows how eccentric this whole
family is. If it looked as though they killed themselves,
it could be so easy, Miss Emily, first the oldest,
Miss Abigail, then Miss Matilda next, and then the fortune
would be ours and w But I'm afraid I'm shocking you.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Oh no, no, Brooks, you're not shocking me. Suicide. Oh
but do you think they really would do it?
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (05:20):
What a day, Margot. I admire your spirit collecting for
the Red Cross. I admire your energy, I admire your stamma,
but you're wearing me out.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
I have just two.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
More homes to visit, Darling, and then we'll relax some
place that didn't I look at that group of people
standing over there, y'athery, looking up at something in that
old house across the street.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
I guess, uggle, wait what Look? There's a woman, an
old woman, standing up in that attic window ledge above
the street.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
She's going to jump, but there's someone behind her that
they're going to grab us.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
I thought I saw someone too for a woman.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
Oh, yes, she is going back and she no, she
Isn't she jumped?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Maybe not, Maybe she was pushed.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
We are, Margot, Why Lama, this is the house the
old lady jumped from last night?
Speaker 1 (06:18):
I know, Darling. I didn't tell you where we were coming,
but I thought we should pay our respects for old
miss Abigail tonight.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Miss Abigail, you didn't tell me you knew where.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I didn't until today. I've been talking with some friends
of theirs, friends who've known the family for years.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
Then you don't think she jumped last night?
Speaker 2 (06:36):
You think the old.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Lady was killed don't you well.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
She's the first suicide I've ever known. Margaret to jump
off a window ledge backwards.
Speaker 5 (06:46):
Oh you know there's something unhealthy, something evil.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Looking about this house.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Good evening, I'm in the Mount Cranston. This is miss Lane.
We've come to pay our respects. Miss Ail very.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Well coming, please, I'll tell miss Emily you're here.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Who's Miss Emily, the youngest of three girls? There's another
Miss Matilda who's still living here.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
There's a coffin across the hole there in the parlor.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
What a shadow is?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Dismal room? There's no life for those candles. The yes,
you must be miss Emma. We were both friends of
miss Abigail, so Brooks told me.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
I suppose she did have friends with Matilda and I
never met. They must have been so tragic for you,
your sister's sudden death. Please excuse my sister Matilda for
not appearing. She's so upset by.
Speaker 7 (07:50):
Not that upset, Emily. I can look at her now.
If you didn't want me to see her, did you?
You're afraid of what I might say?
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Better go to your room.
Speaker 7 (08:01):
You can't pass me now. I hold the purse string
to this family.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Now keep away, from that comin.
Speaker 7 (08:09):
I laugh in her face, I laugh in her dead face.
Now you both.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Think I'm crazy. I'm dreadfully sorry, mister Creston. My sister
is completely undone.
Speaker 7 (08:22):
Don't you start trying to boss me or do you
want something to happen to you, Tom, Mister Carter, our lawyer,
he's on my side now. He's my friend against both
of you. He told me I inherit all the money
now and I can laugh at Abigail.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
Now you're dead, Abigail, and I've.
Speaker 7 (08:46):
Got the money.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Matilda, stop this this instant come away from that.
Speaker 6 (08:52):
You have the money and Emily the good looks.
Speaker 7 (08:55):
But I'm in charge now, Mathilda, don't.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
You ever strike me again.
Speaker 8 (09:07):
I run this house now, I run this house now.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Oh, I'm so sorry this had to happen. You can
understand why I'm afraid to leave her alone. And mister
Carter and our family lawyer is the only one who
can control her.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
Of course, Lamark, we really should leave.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
I'll show you.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
To the door.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (09:33):
Again.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
I'm very sorry. She's terribly upstairstand good evening, mister Cranston.
Miss Lane, I must go to my sister now, good.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Night, Good night. Oh poor miss Yes, looks like she
has plenty on her hands, and.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
Miss Matilda seems glad her sister was dead.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yes, so their lawyer, Carter is the only one Matilda trusts. Margaol.
Let's go see mister Carter. I know this is most unusual,
(10:19):
mister Carter, but we thought you should know. Miss Matilda's
quite definitely upset.
Speaker 9 (10:22):
I know that, mister Cranston. Miss Matilda's always been rather odd.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
But if she's come into all this money, that is
I suppose that is true. That is a family matter,
mister Cranston. I don't think I'm in a position to.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
Say, well, mister Carter, we've only come as friends, and
because we think that Miss Emily might be.
Speaker 9 (10:40):
In dangerous there's really nothing I can tell you now
if you should me.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Certainly, we are sorry to have bothered you, mister Carter.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
Bye, Darling, that was a brushof I was right, man,
you know something he's not telling Well maybe, but we
certainly didn't get very far.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Margo. Somehow I've got to get a look at that will.
Tilda doesn't have it everything, and she's mentally unbalanced.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Look I mind, is mister cart coming out of office
now we're cross into the telephone booth.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Yes, it's funny. He wouldn't use his own office telephone.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
He didn't want to take a chance on being overheard.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Obviously, I'm going over to that booth.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Wait here, darling, and be right back. Not the shadow,
he won't. I'm sure I have a nico Chin there
it is he see four seven two three ac Acroy
(11:43):
four seven two three.
Speaker 9 (11:45):
Hell live mis Chakata. Matters must be arranged tonight.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
We can't wait any longer.
Speaker 9 (11:55):
Yes, as I'll be there.
Speaker 10 (11:57):
Right away, allset, Margot.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
I checked on the number he called.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
How did you do that?
Speaker 1 (12:12):
I watched him dial and I called the telephone company
the number Ackroy for seven two three? Is that house, Margot?
Crazy Matilda. We've got to get back to that house
right away, Margot. Miss Emily may really be in danger.
Speaker 6 (12:25):
Now, who's that Emily?
Speaker 5 (12:38):
Mathilda?
Speaker 7 (12:39):
Yes, what's Brook's doing with you?
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Don't get excited, miss Matilda. We both know that you're upset.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
Why are you closing that door?
Speaker 4 (12:48):
Get out of here, Get out.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
Of my room.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Look at those nice long, sharp scissors, Miss Emily and
Miss Matilda's dressing table here I was.
Speaker 7 (12:55):
Cutting out clippings from the newspapers about Abigail's suicide.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
You're upset and hysterical over her sad death, aren't you, Matilda.
I'm not.
Speaker 7 (13:05):
I'm happy I've got the money now.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Oh no, Matilda, you're so upset mentally you really don't
want to go on living anymore.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Yes, that's right, Miss Emily. Our visitors this afternoon can
testify that you've gone quite out of your mind with grief.
You want to die, Miss Matilda.
Speaker 7 (13:27):
Cheap away, don't come near me, put down no scissors.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
But you want to kill yourself, Matilla.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Here, let me press your fingers tightly around these shears.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
You want to commit suicide, Matilda, to kill yourself over
poor Abigail's death. No, I won't kill myself. Oh no,
I know Abigail didn't kill herself.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
You did it.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
The two of you takes, Miss Matilda.
Speaker 7 (13:55):
You're hurting my hands.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
I won't take them.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
I'll give them to you.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Whose death.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Yes, and your hands were around the scissors, my hands
on top of yours. And when they find you dead,
Miss Matilda, only your fingerprints will be on the shears.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
We're battling their way through the streets of Cologne. Your
Red Cross girls were there directly behind the lines, dispensing
cheer and doughnuts to the battle weary gis. Today, your
Red Cross is still there with the Army of Occupation.
We have silenced the behar Machs, but your Red Cross
still fights a battle, a battle against loneness. Let's not
forget the low Point Boys still overseas. There are more
(14:47):
than one million, five hundred thousand of them spread out
all over the world, including for saken Islands in the Pacific.
Many of us already have forgotten, but your Red Cross
never forgets. It's still there with our rear guard, helping
to make life a little brighter, helping to ease the burden. Yes,
the job of the Army of Occupation, according to both
Generals Eisenhower and MacArthur, would be ten times tougher if
(15:11):
it were not for the Red Cross activities overseas. For
the man now overseas, the warmth and hospitality of the
Red Cross Recreation Club is the one bright spot in
their arduous task yet to be completed. The Red Cross
Club is g I Joe's home away from home, and
wherever he sees the sign of the Red Cross, he
knows that America isn't really thousands of miles away. So
(15:33):
give as generously as you can to help your Red
Cross fight this battle against loneliness, as well as all
its other conflicts with disaster. Now again, the Shadow.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
Criston, Miss Lane Matilda Killeth help.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
With her own pair of cities.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
We've summoned the doctor. That's who we thought it was.
Speaker 8 (15:56):
When we had you ring horrible.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Where were you, miss Emily when this happened. Oh we
were downstairs. I was serving tea. Miss Emily asked Miss
Matilda to join her, but you refused. Miss Matilla's been
acting rather peculiarly lately. I see, miss Emily. Where is
your lawyer, mister Carter? Well, I just tried to phone him,
mister Cranston, but he's gone out.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
He hasn't been here.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
No, no, he hasn't been here. Of course, he has
his own key, and he comes and goes as he chooses,
Miss Emily. Oh, what's wrong with that? He's known as figures.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Someone just came in downstairs, perhaps, said mister Carton.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Now wait here, I'll go up in the hall and
see who it is. Carter.
Speaker 9 (16:38):
Oh, Mis Gramston, you're here, something's happened.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
What's wrong? Been another death in the family, mister Carter.
Now the sister has just killed herself, Miss Matilda.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
How horrible I was afraid of that.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
I must go to it, mister Carter.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
It's Matilda. She's killed herself too.
Speaker 9 (16:57):
Emily Darling, I'm terrible or horrible.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
Oh, say goodness, you are here. Oh what a comfort
having you here when they both died so treaduous.
Speaker 9 (17:07):
Now don't worry, Emily. I'll take care of everything. I'll
handle everything.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
We've summoned the doctor.
Speaker 8 (17:11):
Mister Carter.
Speaker 9 (17:12):
Well, I I'd better go back to.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
The office and make arrangements for the funeral and everything.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Oh not now, mister Carter, not yet, Please, I'll be.
Speaker 9 (17:19):
Back, Miss Emily. I must go back now.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
All these details well, they.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Just can't wait. I'm afraid we better leave too, now,
miss Emily. If there's anything we can do, just oh you're.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
You're very kind to Cranston. No, there's nothing right now.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
From then, Margot, we better be going now. We have
some business too that can't wait.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
So Mont you're going in to see mister Carter now,
aren't you?
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Yes, be alone in his office, and now this time
of night.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
What do you suspect?
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Carter has plenty to tell, darling, And right now the
shadow is going to find out just what he's hiding
and how much he knows.
Speaker 9 (18:06):
Everything's in orders so far to the house.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
The money.
Speaker 9 (18:11):
Yes, here's the will. In the event that all three
sisters should perish.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Estate shall be the sole property of this legal representative
and family lawyer. So that's what you are hiding, mister Carter.
Who's that a shadow? Mister Carter? The shadow has discovered
the secret you're trying to hide.
Speaker 7 (18:26):
Nough, No, no, it can't be.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
I can't see him you when I yet, I hear
a voice, voice that reaches the will over your shoulder.
The shadow knows you inherit a house in fortune. When
the three sisters die, they.
Speaker 9 (18:38):
Killed themselves, both Miss Abigail and Miss Matilda.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
You kill them, Carter, as you plan to kill miss
Emily in a Let me out, Let me out of here.
You listen to my voice, laptor, can you get a wall,
let me go, something holding me. You kill those two
sisters to inherit their money. You were in the house
when Miss Abigail was pushed from that ledge. You were
in that house earlier tonight and returned playing innocent after
killing Miss Matilla with her own pair of shares. That's
a lie. You knew she was dead when you came
(19:02):
into that house. You named her instead of miss Emily
before you knew which was dead. You want really, you
can't be How do you know those things? There's more proof,
Miss but Tilda didn't kill herself tonight. She did. Poor
frail little misster Tilda couldn't have driven those crews here
so deeply into her preast alone.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
You do know who are you?
Speaker 1 (19:22):
The shadow? Yes, the Shadow knows, and you'll hang No now.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
I'll tell you I didn't do it. I didn't kill
those two sisters. Brooks killed them that eye, Brooks killed
them both.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Yet you not Brooks's name? Next in that will, I'd
promise to share with him when all three were out
of the way, and miss Emily is next, Yes, miss
Emily is next, the next on the list. Shadow goes
to miss Emily now the first time going to see
you go to the police and give yourself up, and
then Brooks will be next.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Brook Miss Emily, what are you doing up here in
my room?
Speaker 4 (20:08):
I want to talk to you, Brooks.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
What do you want, we can be married.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Now we've got the money and both my sisters are gone.
When will we be married?
Speaker 8 (20:20):
Brooks, We're not getting married, miss Emily.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
What are you saying?
Speaker 3 (20:26):
You've been a fool?
Speaker 4 (20:27):
You you said you loved me.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
I love you, Miss Emily.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
No, you're all I want.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
I've nothing to live for.
Speaker 7 (20:42):
You leave me now.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
I can't go on like this.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
All alone.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
There is a way out, only one way out now
for you, one way out, the way your sisters chose.
They're at peace now. Oh, it needn't be an agony
with heavy, crude scissors cutting deep into your flesh.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
It needn't be a screaming.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Nightmare looking down, watching the pavement rise up to smash
your body and face.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
No, I couldn't.
Speaker 5 (21:11):
I couldn't.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
It could be so quick and easy.
Speaker 8 (21:14):
Miss Emily.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Oh what's that in your hand?
Speaker 8 (21:19):
There is an old.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Fashioned straight razor. Look at that blade, cold and bright,
Two sharp, clean cuts across the wrists, and you have
no memories to face, no more years of loneliness in
this house alone, cross my ray. Yes, just run your
finger across that sharp blade. Yeah, now you see you've
cut yourself. Your finger's bleeding.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
I didn't even feel a thing.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
No, it could be as easy as that. Doesn't take
courage when one has no other choice, no other choice,
no other choice, Miss Emily. I'm going now.
Speaker 8 (21:59):
Shall I leave the rays with you?
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Miss Emily?
Speaker 8 (22:04):
You want the razor?
Speaker 4 (22:06):
Yes, Brooks, I'll take the raisin.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Will let be old, miss Emily?
Speaker 4 (22:14):
No, No, that's not all, Brooks. I have the raizor now,
and I'm going to slitch your throat, you devil. I'll
slit your throat. You can't leave me your hands.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
You can't harm me.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Now. You thought you.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Could talk me into killing myself. You'd like that, wouldn't you.
All you want is the money, is you fool?
Speaker 3 (22:42):
And I'm going to get it. If I have to
kill you myself, they'll never find your body. You're coming
down into the cellar with me. Yes, the furnace. There's
a roaring fire burning down there. One blow will do
the trick.
Speaker 8 (22:58):
That did it, miss Emily.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Now I'll carry you down to the basement.
Speaker 8 (23:05):
And the furnace, down down, Miss Emily.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Asleep in my arms. It's warmer already, even though you
can't feel the fire in this dark cellar room. Look
at that heavy furnace door. Too bad, you can't see.
I'll throw open the door. Perhaps you can hear the
roar of the flames. Listen to the roar of those flames,
(23:53):
Miss Emily. They shout death.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Can you hear, yes, Brooks, shout death, but to you,
not to her. That voice in the flames.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
It's coming out of the.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Fire, cleansing, burning fire, bringing justice for your crimes.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
There is a voice coming from the fire.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
The Shadow has found you, Brooks, and takes Miss Emily's
party from you.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
Now, somebody snatches from my arms face.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
The fire, Brooks. The fire of truth burns brightly. Carter
has confessed. You'll go down for your sins with.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
Him, Carter.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Somebody knows the voice knows, the shadow speaks the truth.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
Brooks.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
I'm not afraid of a voice. You won't get me.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
I'll get out of here. There is no escape now, Brooks.
I'll get out of the cellar. I'll get out of here.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Oh, something's grabbed me.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
But I can't see anyone, nothing but the shadows of
the flames casting fear in your heart. But another shadow
has caught and holds you.
Speaker 7 (24:55):
Let me go.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
As shadow has strength to Brooks, strength, you can not see,
but that you shall feel. Your body will rest there
on the cellar floor beside miss Emily in the firelight
until the police arrive. The shadow will see that justice
(25:22):
is done.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
So it was mister Carter and Brooks who engineered the
whole deal.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
After all is Margot Carter was to take over the
estate as sole executor, and Brooks was in a perfect
position to kill all three sisters.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
But why did he en miss miss Emily.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Day a perfect blind in case anything went wrong? Margaret
having one of the sisters trusting.
Speaker 5 (26:00):
Him and on his side, and then he meant to
kill her as colo years The.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Ily of it is Margaret that, in her unbalanced way,
Miss Emily must have really loved books. Her reaction when
she heard the verdict pronounced sentence books received because if
she hadn't been restrained, she'd have been the only one
of the three strange sisters who really did commit suicide.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
