Philip Marlowe was played by Dick Powell.

I've been thinking it was William Powell, so maybe they sound similar to each other.

And I hope all of you will be listening next week when Suspense presents William Powell in a role that's also different from the parts he's been playing lately.

And our sponsors, the makers of Luxe Flakes, join me in wishing you all, inviting you to listen to us again next Monday night when the Luxe Radio Theater presents William Powell, Miriam Hopkins, Melville Coop, and C. Henry Gordon in Tovarich.

With the Grand Duchess Marie of Russia as the evening special guest, your special producer, your regular producer, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille, will be back once again each Monday night thereafter.

Thank you for listening.

Once Mrs. Daley, the milkman's wife, said, "It must be hard on you, him spending all his spare time practicing in the basement." It was well known that, uh, Mr.

Well, I actually like the fact that he's American.

So he's like, you know, some splendid gentleman, but he doesn't have the softness of, say, a William Powell.

Yeah.

Or Ronald Coleman.
