Who knows what evil looks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows.

Your local blue coal dealer presents the shadow.

These half hour dramatizations are designed to forcibly demonstrate to old and young alike that crime does not pay.

Before today's story... not pay.

Before today's story begins, an important message to all householders. When ordering fuel, remember that there's a tremendous difference between various kinds of

hard coal. And remember that there's one

hard coal that offers you better heat with less furnace attention and that's blue

coal. You'll find that blue coal banks and burns better and gives you absolutely the most for your money in heating service and satisfaction.

So ask for blue coal by name the next time you order fuel. And be sure to listen at the close of today's program

for we have a special guest whom we wish to introduce to you.

The Shadow, mysterious character who wades those in distress and helps the forces of

law and order is in reality Lamont Cranston, wealthy young man about town. Cranston's friend and companion, the lovely Margot Lane,

is the only person who knows to whom the unseen voice belongs,

the only one who knows the true identity of that master of other people's minds, the shadow.

Today's story, hypnotic death.

Dr. Dahmer he's a friend of mine we might even get him to be my best man oh
