The prince brought several expensive jewels with him to London for resetting by Cartier and one of them, a fabulous ruby, was stolen by the young woman. If it cannot be retrieved, a scandal will ensue and because of this, the police cannot be involved.

Strangers on a Train with Ambience LUX Radio Theater Listen Live!

Join our Live Chat! 'Criss cross, I'll do yours, and you mine.' Lux Theater Presents A 1950 Radio Play live of the 1950 Movie version Directed by Alfred Hitchcock Strange thing about this trip. So much occurs in pairs. Tennis star Guy (Farley Granger) hates his unfaithful wife. Mysterious Bruno (Robert Walker) hates his father. How perfect for a playful proposal: I'll kill yours; you kill mine. Now look at how Alfred Hitchcock reinforces the duality of human nature. The more you watch, the more you'll see. "Isn't it a fascinating design?" the Master of Suspense often asked. The laying bare of Bruno's hidden nature, along with the great set pieces (head-turning tennis match, disintegrating carousel) and suspense as only Hitchcock can deliver, makes Strangers on a Train a first-class trip.

Elma The Ghost in the Well Mystery Radio

Elma The Ghost in the Well A Real Historical Inspiration #realghoststory #ghoststory #historyWhat a story! Gulielma Sands was murdered on December 22, 1799, in what is now, Manhattan, New York. Her body was found 11 days later by some boys playing in a field by the well she was tossed into. The young woman enjoyed a secret love affair with another tenant on Greenwich Street, Levi Weeks, a local carpenter. The two had planned to elope, and when Elma left her home on December 22nd, she hoped Levi and herself would return as a married couple. Elma’s cousin, Catherine Ring, claimed that she had heard the front door close at around 8 that night, but didn’t witness Levi or Elma leaving. When Levi arrived at 10 o’clock, demanding to know where his future bride was, a panic took over the home. During an investigation, witness claimed to have seen Elma in the Lispenard's Meadow that night. Though it was said she was spotted with two men, those men could not be identified. So began America's first recorded murder trial. Levi Weeks was the obvious suspect in the crime. Luckily, his brother, Ezra, sought out two infamous lawyers for his defense: Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton. The trial was a brief one, lasting only a little more than a day. Due to a lack of evidence, Levi was acquitted. The well still stands, and yes through the years there have been many stories of 'ghostly goings on!' Here is the CBS Mystery Theater Radio play based on this story !n the 1990 as, a bistro bought the building at 129 Spring Street to use as extra storage. As they excavated the cellar, the Manhattan Well was unveiled for the first time in more than 150 years. The restauranteurs claimed that the well had an eerie presence that immediately unsettled them. According to their accounts, it looked brand new, as if no time had passed since it was sealed up. The men who worked at the bistro said it felt as if they were being watched. Glasses and wine bottles were smashed across the room all on their own. Waiters frequently got locked in the cellar when no one else was nearby. A busboy even claimed to see a woman in 18th century clothing, dripping wet.
