There's music and mystery for you tomorrow evening.

For music, it's Your Hit Parade, bringing you the top tunes in the land, with Eileen Wilson, Snooky Lanson, and Raymond Scott's orchestra.

For mystery, it's The Man Called X, starring Herbert Marshall as an intrepid adventurer in international intrigue, who travels wherever there is mystery, danger, and romance.

[upbeat jazz music] Not many are left in this world who remember when families used to gather around the old radio set in the living room to listen to the Jack Benny Program, or Fibber McGee, or the Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy Show, or Amos & Andy.

There aren't a whole lot of people out there who remember sitting around with their family taking in Ozzie and Harriet, or Your Hit Parade, or the Grand Ole Opry on the wireless, Milton Berle's Texaco Theater.

There are people out there still who remember gathering with their family in the living room to watch The Ed Sullivan Show on television, to watch Father Knows Best, to watch Your Show of Shows with Sid Caesar, or The Andy Griffith Show.

There are people who remember gathering with the family to watch The Wonderful World of Disney on Sunday nights, or Lawrence Welk.

Dial this NBC station tomorrow evening and listen for the chimes, and then you'll be off on a perilous trip with The Man Called X, starring Herbert Marshall.

And if you've been searching for music too on Saturday, then Eileen Wilson is your dish as she stars in Your Hit Parade, with Snooky Lanson and Raymond Scott's Orchestra [instrumental music] And now back to The Vendetta Caper or The Revenge of Monte Christoff, tonight's adventure with Sam Spade [dramatic music]

Later Thursday, it's Father Knows Best back on NBC with Robert Young in the title role.
