WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:14.260 This is Robert Montgomery inviting you to join us for the story of a woman named Eve. 00:14.260 --> 00:27.620 Tonight's study in Suspense. An hour of suspense, a full 60 minutes at this time, 00:27.620 --> 00:33.840 with the distinguished actor-director Mr. Robert Montgomery as your host. Tonight our star is 00:33.840 --> 00:39.380 Miss June Havoc. Miss Havoc will appear in The Black Angel, a suspense play produced, 00:39.380 --> 00:52.820 edited and directed by William Spear. Mr. Montgomery, I believe an apple is honest. Until a 00:52.820 --> 00:57.880 couple of days ago, I don't suppose I'd given an apple a solid thought in months. But it was a 00:57.880 --> 01:02.660 warm afternoon and the striped awning over the fruit stand offered shade. And besides, 01:02.660 --> 01:10.560 I found myself staring at the apples. All lined up they were, in nice even rows, shiny and round 01:10.560 --> 01:16.960 and red. They were supposed to tempt me, and they did. The first thing you know, I picked one out 01:16.960 --> 01:23.360 and shined it up. And then I looked at it, close. For the first time, I think I understood why an 01:23.360 --> 01:29.680 artist ever set up an easel in front of an apple and painted it. It's really very beautiful a good 01:29.680 --> 01:37.680 apple is. The way the red dissolves into the yellow, it's warm, it's full of promise. I bit 01:37.680 --> 01:43.680 into it and then I got to thinking. That coloring, I thought, is just a come-on, a private sales 01:43.680 --> 01:48.480 promotion to make you want it. As a matter of fact, an apple does its advertising in an extremely 01:48.480 --> 01:54.720 honest fashion. Mind you, I'm not selling apples, but even a bad apple says, here's a blemish, a spot, 01:54.720 --> 02:00.220 a fault. If you take me, you take the bad of me with the good. And don't say I didn't warn you. 02:00.220 --> 02:06.960 So you can take an apple on its face value. And that's what I was doing. But as I ate it, 02:06.960 --> 02:13.400 I found myself wishing that all of nature's products were as frank and open. You choose 02:13.400 --> 02:20.960 a friend, a sweetheart, the come-on, the sales campaign, the covering. Maybe it lives up to its 02:20.960 --> 02:27.440 promise and maybe it doesn't. With an apple, you can tell. So the one I was munching on set me to 02:27.440 --> 02:32.600 thinking about apples and people, about the confusion that arose when the first apple and 02:32.600 --> 02:41.880 the first human being got together. The forbidden fruit and the woman, Eve. That name reminded me of 02:41.880 --> 02:48.880 the only Eve I ever knew very much about, Eve Jeremy. I didn't actually know the Jeremy's 02:48.880 --> 02:54.640 personally, Eve and Frank, but I don't think Hollywood will ever forget them. Eve and Frank 02:54.640 --> 03:00.000 Jeremy are memorable, not as individuals, but together as husband and wife. Not just because 03:00.000 --> 03:05.240 she was a beautiful actress or because he was an influential producer, but because of what they 03:05.240 --> 03:14.000 became in combination. Let's take a look at Eve and Frank. Look past the covering and see what we 03:14.000 --> 03:20.600 find. Now with the performance of our distinguished star Miss June Havoc as Eve Jeremy, we hope once 03:20.600 --> 03:49.560 again to keep you in suspense. Frank, is that you Frank? Well darling, we'd better get a move on. 03:49.560 --> 03:55.080 You know how Azadia is about her sit-down dinners. It's after seven now and it'll... Oh Frank, 03:55.080 --> 04:00.400 you're not even dressed. I can't go baby. Oh for heaven's sake. What do you mean you can't go? 04:00.400 --> 04:05.640 I've just been on the phone half an hour. Crawford won't do the part. Well she never was right for it. 04:05.640 --> 04:10.280 I thought she was. Anyway she won't do it and now I've got to find someone else. Well let's talk about it later, 04:10.280 --> 04:16.440 huh darling? Go on, get your dinner jacket on please. Look, you go without me honey. I will not. I will 04:16.440 --> 04:24.720 not be the odd woman there. Oh you know how Azadia is about how carefully she arranges everything. Honey, now listen, this is serious. Oh. Look, I didn't want to 04:24.720 --> 04:29.280 discuss it at home. I'm not the kind of guy who brings the office home every night. Maybe I'd be a 04:29.280 --> 04:35.480 bigger shot producer if I did. Anyway business is lousy. See just lousy. Money's frozen all over. 04:35.480 --> 04:40.320 It's all right for the big studios, MGM, Paramount and Warner's. But it's murder right now for an 04:40.320 --> 04:44.920 independent. I know. Guys like me depend on money from the banks honey. And even if I've got the best 04:44.920 --> 04:50.360 picture in the world with money the way it is, I've got to have at least one big box office name. 04:50.360 --> 04:54.200 So the banks will think their investment is protected. Oh Frank, I know all about this. 04:54.200 --> 05:01.480 You told me enough about it when you explained why I couldn't play the part myself. Well. Oh, oh Frank honey, I am sorry. 05:01.480 --> 05:06.280 I suppose it is terrible that I'm fussing over a little thing like a dinner party when you have. Oh that's better, sweet. 05:06.920 --> 05:13.480 Well Frank, why don't we go out to dinner anyhow? You know it might relax you and take your mind off this. 05:13.480 --> 05:17.640 No honey, now if I don't get my whole deal set within the next 48 hours and get word to New York 05:17.640 --> 05:23.160 about who my star is, we can't shoot this year. And frankly, Eve, I can't afford, I simply just can't afford. 05:23.160 --> 05:29.800 I mean it literally. To lay out the rest of this year. Well Fontaine can't do it. Crawford won't. 05:30.760 --> 05:35.960 All right, who's it going to be? Eve, it's just one star that's been right for it from the beginning. 05:35.960 --> 05:40.200 Now you'll get sore again and we'll have a big shindy about it. But honestly honey, now if you could 05:40.200 --> 05:45.400 just believe me when I tell you that she doesn't mean anything to me. Nothing but a big. Lorna Moore. 05:46.280 --> 05:53.080 Yes, Lorna Moore. And I suppose you've been talking to her, seeing her, trying to warm up that old. 05:53.080 --> 05:57.560 I just hung up the phone from talking to her. I'm going to see her and so that's why I can't go to 05:57.560 --> 06:04.120 dinner. She's out at the Malibu Beach House. Oh look Eve, why can't you believe me when I. Oh Frank, leave me alone. 06:04.120 --> 06:09.400 Oh what do you think I am? Do you think I'm going over to Azadia's and tell them the reason I'm alone 06:09.400 --> 06:14.440 is that you couldn't come? You had to go out and see Lorna Moore at her beach house in Malibu. 06:14.440 --> 06:20.920 Oh I can just see that look on Azadia's face when you and Lorna and Azadia all used to be such great 06:20.920 --> 06:27.400 friends. You never went to have dinner at Azadia's alone up until six months ago. Oh no, you always 06:27.400 --> 06:32.440 had Lorna along even though she hadn't made a picture for you for three years. She wasn't 06:32.440 --> 06:40.360 a business deal then. Oh no. All right, you know how I feel about everything so you can just go and do as 06:40.360 --> 06:47.480 you exactly please. Darling if you just listen to me, I don't care about Lorna at all. You must know 06:47.480 --> 06:53.720 that. I don't even care for her particularly as an actress but I need that name or I'm sunk. 06:53.720 --> 06:59.160 She's the only available actress in the whole world that can play that part. Yes, she's the only actress 06:59.160 --> 07:05.320 that I can get in a hurry with a big enough name. Oh for Pete's sake. Okay Eve, I'm going out to Malibu. 07:05.320 --> 07:10.360 Honestly honey, I don't think I'll be any more than an hour. You can call Azadia from there. 07:10.360 --> 07:14.360 I'm not going to call her. All right, I'll call up from there. 07:14.360 --> 07:22.280 All right, I'll call up from there. 07:25.160 --> 07:32.600 Oh it wasn't like me. It really wasn't like me but if a man would only understand that a woman is a 07:32.600 --> 07:38.280 really delicate sensitive instrument and of course that goes double if you're an actress. 07:38.280 --> 07:44.440 Frank was actually a very nice sweet guy. A bit older of course but kind and swell. 07:45.320 --> 07:49.480 I guess I knew basically that Lorna didn't mean anything to him but business 07:50.120 --> 07:55.160 but the whole thing seemed to explode that night. My wanting to be an important actress and the 07:55.160 --> 08:00.200 mortification of having a dinner party called off with me sitting there all dressed up and looking 08:00.200 --> 08:08.040 really wonderful. I got up and put my coat on. I was so mad I was cold. I wandered into the living 08:08.040 --> 08:12.440 room. On the coffee table was a bottle of gin. Frank had just gotten it out. I guessed I'd start 08:12.440 --> 08:16.200 to make a martini. I let out a little into the jigger glass and I gulped it down. 08:17.240 --> 08:21.080 I thought some plaster had fallen off the ceiling and hit me on the chest for a minute 08:22.120 --> 08:28.440 and I saw something lying under the loveseat. A little package. I untied it and I put it on the 08:28.440 --> 08:38.040 package. I untied it. It was from Rheingold's. A gold compact and on it was engraved to Lorna dear 08:38.040 --> 08:50.440 from Frank. I guess it was the gin made me decide to do it. Anyway the next thing I knew I was out 08:50.440 --> 08:58.680 in my car backing out of the driveway and turning off sunset. I knew I was headed for Malibu. 09:03.480 --> 09:09.960 All the way there I did the most wonderful scenes in my mind. I'd knock on the door then quickly 09:09.960 --> 09:14.600 open it so they wouldn't be able to get out of each other's arms. Good evening. Oh no no please 09:14.600 --> 09:20.360 don't let me disturb you. I merely came to bring you this present that Frank in his haste to get 09:20.360 --> 09:26.360 over to see you neglected to bring. It's this lovely gold compact. He picked it out all by himself of 09:26.360 --> 09:32.520 course and that's his very own writing on it too. Well good night and I'm certainly looking forward 09:32.520 --> 09:41.000 to your Academy Award performance in his new picture. I knew which house it was. A white one 09:41.000 --> 09:45.560 a white one all by itself up on Trancas Beach about a mile beyond Merleau Browns. 09:45.560 --> 09:51.720 I stopped a couple of hundred feet from the house. Frank's car was nowhere in sight. 09:53.960 --> 09:58.040 I opened the wrought iron gate and walked on the door. There wasn't a light on the house. 09:58.760 --> 10:03.160 Oh please no no don't let me disturb you. This lovely gold compact. 10:03.160 --> 10:08.520 I beg your pardon. 10:13.560 --> 10:17.720 Then I saw that the door was standing open a couple of inches. I pushed it wide open. 10:18.920 --> 10:26.120 Took a couple of steps in and stood there. I smelled cigar smoke. Cigar. I was looking for 10:26.120 --> 10:31.080 them but I couldn't see anybody. It was all dark in my end of the room but at the other end 10:31.080 --> 10:37.080 30 or 40 feet across it was quite bright and blue. Well that's where they are I thought. Out there 10:37.080 --> 10:41.800 on the terrace looking at the sea having a drink. I walked across the marble floor black and white 10:41.800 --> 10:47.640 checkerboard. It was so beautiful. I stumbled over something as I made my way around a chaise. 10:47.640 --> 10:55.800 I kicked at it. Discarded boudoir slipper but it wasn't. It was a foot and a leg. A silk clad leg 10:55.800 --> 11:02.520 and then I could see better. It looked like a tumbled mass of boudoir pillows. Perhaps a discarded 11:02.520 --> 11:06.840 negligee and a chaise coverlet all intermingled and allowed to fall into a neglected heap on the 11:06.840 --> 11:12.920 floor. There at that one place. I got down waveringly and edged aside one of the pillows. 11:13.560 --> 11:20.520 Satin it was and so soft so harmless but someone had smothered her to death with it. 11:20.520 --> 11:24.520 I was sorry I tampered with that concealing pillow. I looked for one moment at that 11:24.520 --> 11:33.240 grimacing suffused mask with a protruding tongue. And then panic came on. I made several confused 11:33.240 --> 11:38.840 half turns this way and then that and then I located the door and I sped for it. But just as I got there 11:38.840 --> 11:42.680 the drunk was arriving. It was that drunk. 11:42.680 --> 11:53.880 Lorna. Lorna. I came back. Forgive me but I came back. I had to come back. I guess you can't speak to me Lorna. 11:54.600 --> 12:02.120 I guess you aren't hardly able to speak to me Lorna. I'm sorry. I'm truly sorry for anything. 12:02.920 --> 12:10.120 Luella or somebody said you wanted to get married again and I I'm sorry. I'm sorry. 12:10.120 --> 12:16.520 I said you wanted to get married again and I I just couldn't stand it Lorna. I didn't mean to do it. 12:16.520 --> 12:18.520 It's a bad deal Lorna. 12:20.520 --> 12:22.520 Oh Lorna. 12:23.320 --> 12:25.320 Lorna there's a phone. 12:27.320 --> 12:34.040 You want to speak to anybody Lorna? You can't speak to anybody. No you can't speak to anybody. 12:34.040 --> 12:41.800 Oh Lorna can't come to the phone. Who wants to know? 12:43.720 --> 12:48.840 Well Jerry this is Jack. I'm her husband by a previous marriage. 12:50.840 --> 12:56.200 Wait a minute. Wait a minute. I'll write it down. Oh away from New York huh? 12:56.920 --> 12:58.520 Sounds like you're just in the next room. 12:58.520 --> 13:09.160 Oh yeah yeah Jerry Jordan. All right Jerry. Kiss Broadway for me. No trouble I'm sure. 13:11.560 --> 13:14.920 Lorna I wish it were possible. 13:17.960 --> 13:22.040 Oh Lorna what's the matter? What's the matter? How you fall out? 13:22.040 --> 13:26.280 Oh Lorna. Lorna. 13:40.120 --> 13:44.840 I hadn't been able to move. I stood there for minutes after he'd gone. I remember I could hear 13:44.840 --> 13:50.440 seagulls and I wondered if seagulls were like vultures. If they knew that someone was dead 13:50.440 --> 13:55.880 on their beach. And about now something very strange was happening to me. I was getting 13:55.880 --> 14:01.960 stronger, braver, more interested than shocked. I thought I'll call Frank. He must have gotten home 14:01.960 --> 14:07.000 by now. And then I remembered my fingerprints on the telephone. I wiped it off carefully with my 14:07.000 --> 14:10.840 handkerchief. Even though I knew I was wiping away the drunk's fingerprints at the same time. 14:11.720 --> 14:14.440 By the phone was the piece of paper he had scrawled the message on. 14:14.440 --> 14:22.760 Jerry Jordan it said. New York Broadway. I put that in my pocket. Something shiny was lying on the 14:22.760 --> 14:27.480 floor near her. I thought it must be the compact. It had fallen out of my hand when I first stumbled. 14:27.480 --> 14:39.560 I bent down to pick it up. Oh it was awful. Because it was her hand. It was a gold lipstick that she had 14:39.560 --> 14:47.560 in her hand. I let go. But then I looked at the white square of linoleum that was there. A letter. 14:48.040 --> 14:54.680 She'd scrawled a red letter on the marble with her lipstick. A big letter J. While she was being 14:54.680 --> 14:59.640 suffocated, put to death with a satin pillow. She'd been trying to write the name of the man who was 14:59.640 --> 15:10.200 killing her. What an actress trick. What a corny actress trick I thought. But J. Not so many men's 15:10.200 --> 15:16.280 names begin with J. Jerry Jordan begins with J. Two of them. And Jack, her drunken ex-husband, 15:16.280 --> 15:22.920 that begins with J. And Frank Jeremy begins with J. And Frank is my husband. 15:22.920 --> 15:27.480 I picked up her address book. The beautiful white leather tooled address book on the phone table. 15:27.480 --> 15:32.280 I was getting panicky again. I was about to tear the J page out of it. But then I thought, 15:32.280 --> 15:36.680 no, no, that would look suspicious. It would look very suspicious. So I put the address book in my 15:36.680 --> 15:56.360 purse. The phone was still ringing when I left. Oh, what to do. What to do. I'm going to have to 15:56.360 --> 16:14.040 get it. Oh, what to do. What to do. Let's see. 16:26.760 --> 16:37.240 Hello? Oh, may I speak with Azalea, please? They're all upstairs looking at the television. 16:37.240 --> 16:42.520 The rousing matches. I wonder if I could take a message. This is Mike Romanoff. Oh, Mike. Mike, 16:42.520 --> 16:47.800 this is Eve Jeremy. Hello there, darling. Are you all right? We've been worried. 16:47.800 --> 16:51.400 Tried to call you. Azalea said she couldn't understand why she hadn't heard from you. Well, 16:51.960 --> 16:56.040 Mike, I've had this frightful headache. Just more than I could bear. It came on me while I was 16:56.040 --> 17:02.680 dressing and I just had to lie down. It just won't stop. But didn't Frank call and tell you 17:02.680 --> 17:08.120 that we couldn't make it? Haven't heard from Frank, isn't he? No. That is, he had to go out, 17:08.120 --> 17:12.920 Mike, some business or something. You know how he is, so much in his mind. I quite understand, 17:12.920 --> 17:18.680 dear. Terribly sorry about your headache. Thank you. It's better now, but, well, I still don't 17:18.680 --> 17:23.800 think I'd better go out. Oh, darling, I hope you understand I did my best to see it wasn't printed. 17:23.800 --> 17:28.840 What? What wasn't printed, Mike? You haven't seen tonight's Hollywood hush, then. Oh, 17:29.560 --> 17:35.720 oh, that. Oh, well, I... Of course it's just that it was mean and it happened in my restaurant 17:35.720 --> 17:42.120 and I knew you'd understand. Oh, why, of course I do, Mike. Good night, my dear. See you soon. Take 17:42.120 --> 17:44.760 care of that headache. Thank you, Mike. I will. Good night. 17:44.760 --> 17:46.520 Good night. 17:52.360 --> 17:56.360 The evening paper was where Frank had dropped it. I opened it to the Hollywood hush column. 17:56.920 --> 18:02.680 It was the first item. If Frank Jeremy would like to get Lorna Moore back to work for him, 18:02.680 --> 18:07.560 starring in Eagles Nest, his proposed new indie production, and if Lorna Moore would like to do 18:07.560 --> 18:12.600 the parts for her ex Heart Flutter, why can't they keep from fighting at that number one table in 18:12.600 --> 18:18.120 Romanoff? It started politely yesterday over the consomme and ended up with shrieks for coffee. 18:18.120 --> 18:23.160 Round two was at today's lusty luncheon, during which Lorna did most of the talking at a medium 18:23.160 --> 18:29.480 shout, with Frank eating very dark bread indeed. If this keeps up, Mike Romanoff will be auctioning 18:29.480 --> 18:35.160 off seats at ringside tables. We're sure that Mrs. J understands it's all just business. 18:35.160 --> 18:43.880 Mrs. J. Mrs. J. And then I heard them coming in. Hello, baby. Don't be frightened, 18:43.880 --> 18:47.160 baby. It's all right. It's all right. It's good. They think I... 18:48.200 --> 18:53.480 We're looking... I know. I know about it. And it wasn't you. Tell them, Frank. Tell them it wasn't you. 18:53.480 --> 18:59.320 Tell them. Yeah. Tell us, Frank. How did you know? Oh, the radio. I was there. I was right there. 18:59.320 --> 19:03.960 The baby. What did you say, lady? She didn't say anything. She said she heard it on the radio. 19:03.960 --> 19:08.680 Tell them, Frank. I have been. Two hours now. It doesn't seem to help. He couldn't have, don't you see? 19:08.680 --> 19:13.160 He couldn't have. Yeah, we'd better let him go, Lieutenant. She says he couldn't have done it. Shut up. 19:13.800 --> 19:21.000 Mrs. Jeremy, did you not... Can you say with certainty what your husband's whereabouts were, 19:21.000 --> 19:26.280 have been since seven o'clock this evening? Baby, shut up. Can you, Mrs. Jeremy? Listen, I... 19:28.520 --> 19:33.640 No. You know he was going to visit out at Malibu to visit Miss Lorna Moore. Yes, 19:33.640 --> 19:39.400 I knew that. It was a business thing and I... Well, we've got to get going. Oh, Frank. Oh, Frank. 19:39.400 --> 19:44.920 Look, what have they done to you? Look, they've been fighting with you. We ain't been fighting with 19:44.920 --> 19:49.800 them. But that Lorna Moore, you know, she used to be a swimmer in the Olympics. Your hand, darling, 19:49.800 --> 19:54.600 it's all bleeding. She had long fingernails too. Her cat did that. I told you over and over again 19:54.600 --> 19:59.240 where they came from. She wouldn't let him in, but her cat raked his hand. It was outside the door. 19:59.240 --> 20:06.360 It had gotten out of... Oh, so much for the cat. No, no, wait. Wait. Won't he need something? 20:06.360 --> 20:09.480 Oh, please, let me give him something to take with him. It's all right, sweet. 20:14.920 --> 20:19.640 I ran into his bedroom, looked around blindly, snatched up something at random from under one of 20:19.640 --> 20:25.320 the bed pillows and I ran back with him. When I got there, the door was standing open 20:25.320 --> 20:31.320 and the street beyond was empty. They hadn't waited. They were gone. 20:32.840 --> 20:37.080 I stood there in the open doorway and the rolled up pajamas 20:37.080 --> 20:59.880 dropped to the floor at my feet and lay there. Oh, sit down, Mrs. Jeremy. Thank you. 20:59.880 --> 21:05.800 It's just a technicality. I know it frightens people so, but it isn't final. It's just a legal 21:05.800 --> 21:11.160 phrase that's automatically spoken in these cases. Honey, I've seen Mr. Benedict gift more people 21:11.160 --> 21:17.160 off on appeals and reversals. Haven't you, Mort? How about it, Mort? Haven't you? Yeah, yeah. 21:17.160 --> 21:21.400 He wouldn't even let me take the stand and the compact and the address book. 21:22.440 --> 21:26.680 I do feel terrible not being allowed to... Honey, what could you have done? Don't you suppose he 21:26.680 --> 21:31.880 would have been the first to call you if it would have helped any? Mr. Benedict never overlooks a 21:31.880 --> 21:37.240 witness he thinks can help a case and he never uses one and he thinks we'll weaken it. Does he, 21:37.240 --> 21:44.120 Mort? Mort, does he? Well, now, you see, nobody saw you come or go there that night. Oh, of course. 21:44.120 --> 21:48.200 The jury wouldn't have believed you any more than the arresting detectives. They would have thought 21:48.200 --> 21:52.440 that you were making it up to try to shield your husband and the sympathy you aroused for yourself 21:52.440 --> 21:56.440 would have worked in reverse. Anyhow, honey, you have to admit he was mixed up with it. Oh, surely. 21:56.440 --> 22:03.960 Well... All right, I know that as well as he does. How are you, Mrs. Jeremy? I'm fine. 22:04.600 --> 22:08.120 Then it's pretty bad, isn't it? Let me have a cigarette, will you, Mort? 22:12.600 --> 22:18.840 Long day. It's... it's pretty bad, isn't it? It isn't over yet. You're taking the typical layman's 22:18.840 --> 22:24.360 point of view. But isn't it all just circumstantial evidence? I just don't see how they can... Sure it 22:24.360 --> 22:31.320 is. Sure it is. Now, Mr. Jeremy and I had a long talk this morning. Long talk. You understand that 22:31.320 --> 22:35.560 I felt from the very beginning, and I've been very frank with you as to my reasons for thinking so, 22:35.560 --> 22:41.880 that you shouldn't appear on the stand. Yes, I know, Mr. Benedict. However, I expressed to Mr. 22:41.880 --> 22:46.760 Jeremy your natural desire to come forward and tell the circumstances that you detailed to us. 22:46.760 --> 22:50.760 Your visit to the beach house and the detail about the probable explanation for the gold compact. 22:50.760 --> 22:57.080 There's no probable explanation for the compact. I told you, Mr. Benedict. Yes, yes, yes. At any 22:57.080 --> 23:02.600 rate, Mr. Jeremy and I had a long talk again about the advisability of your going on the stand. Yes. 23:02.600 --> 23:07.480 He's absolutely dead set against it. Now, if you insist on it, of course, I shall have to introduce 23:07.480 --> 23:12.760 you. But let me once again say that if you do, you'll hurt our side more than you'll help it. 23:12.760 --> 23:20.760 Well, you all know so much more about it than I do. That's right. That's right. Mr. Jeremy, it is his 23:20.760 --> 23:25.480 wish, and it's also mine. He doesn't want you to get all smeared up, too, if it can be avoided. 23:25.480 --> 23:28.760 And the wife isn't required to testify anyway, you know, honey. Now, you mustn't feel that it's a... 23:28.760 --> 23:35.720 Mr. Benedict, there's one thing I haven't told you. I was confused and worried about Frank, and, 23:36.360 --> 23:40.760 well, anyway, I didn't think of it again until just lately. Her address book. When I was there, 23:40.760 --> 23:48.360 I found her address book. I don't want to hear about it, Mrs. Jeremy. Well, you just hold on. 23:48.360 --> 23:52.760 You're being wonderful about it. This is a real test, and you're taking it like a major. 23:52.760 --> 23:57.320 Come on, I'll take you downstairs and put you in a taxi. Do you want more to the girl to ride home 23:57.320 --> 24:04.200 with you to your place? No, thank you. I'll be all right. I'll have to get used to going around alone 24:04.200 --> 24:11.320 from now on, I guess. 24:22.120 --> 24:25.480 Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, have you reached a verdict? 24:25.480 --> 24:27.800 We have, Your Honor. The defendant will rise. 24:27.800 --> 24:32.120 Frank. Take it easy, sweet. It's gonna be all right. 24:32.120 --> 24:39.240 What does the jury find? We find the defendant, Frank Jeremy, guilty of murder in the first degree. 24:53.080 --> 24:58.280 In tonight's full hour of suspense, June Havoc, our star, appears as Eve Jeremy 24:58.280 --> 25:03.080 in William Spears' production of Eve. Tonight's study ends suspense. 25:11.800 --> 25:14.920 In just a moment, we will return with Act Two of Suspense. 25:14.920 --> 25:27.800 This is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System. 25:27.800 --> 25:31.400 This is Robert Montgomery again. Quote, 25:31.400 --> 25:37.800 A woman is a delicate, sensitive instrument, and that goes double if the woman is also an actress. 25:37.800 --> 25:45.240 Unquote. Eve Jeremy said that a long time ago before Lorna Moore was murdered. 25:45.880 --> 25:51.080 Now the sensitive instrument that is Eve Jeremy is forced to follow a course that she's never planned 25:51.080 --> 25:58.760 for herself. A course dictated by somebody else's verdict. A verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree. 25:58.760 --> 26:06.600 We bring back to our Hollywood sound stage our star, Miss June Havoc, as Eve Jeremy, 26:06.600 --> 26:15.800 with William Johnstone as Frank Jeremy and Wally Marr as Jerry Jordan in Eve. Tonight's study ends suspense. 26:15.800 --> 26:37.800 Right over there, Mrs. Jeremy. The second booth. Thank you. You have five minutes. 26:38.600 --> 26:44.760 Oh, sweet. Frank. Take it easy, sweet. We don't have much time. I have to talk to you like this 26:44.760 --> 26:49.480 through an iron screen, not even to be able to touch you. That's sweet as sweet when a guy's been convicted. 26:49.480 --> 26:54.760 Oh, Frank, don't. I know you didn't do it. I know you didn't. Of course I didn't, sweet, but 26:55.880 --> 27:00.200 it's just one of those things, circumstantial evidence. But Frank, there must be something. 27:01.640 --> 27:06.120 I was pretty optimistic during the trial because I knew I didn't do it, I guess. 27:06.680 --> 27:11.880 But now that I look back on it, they had enough coincidence pieced together to convict a dozen 27:11.880 --> 27:17.320 innocent men. Frank, how can you be so calm? How can you? What's the use of being anything else? 27:18.040 --> 27:23.640 I'm like an old man waiting to. Oh, don't. Oh, there's one thing I want you to know, dear. 27:25.320 --> 27:28.120 I want to be sure you didn't believe that I was starting over with her, 27:28.920 --> 27:33.720 or that she meant anything to me at all. She was a star and I was a producer. I needed her for my 27:33.720 --> 27:41.400 picture. She's a, well, she was, big name in pictures. You knew I'd been seeing her and when I quarreled 27:41.400 --> 27:47.880 with her, it was about you, dear. Oh, darling, honestly, I know, I know. I just wanted to be sure. 27:49.080 --> 27:58.280 You know, I've got nothing to hide now. Frank, how much more time is there? Two or three minutes. 27:58.280 --> 28:06.120 No, no, I mean. Oh, November the 16th. November the 16th, six weeks. Yes. Frank, 28:06.120 --> 28:11.800 I'm going to do something. What can you do, sweetie? Don't you realize there's a murderer running around 28:11.800 --> 28:17.240 loose, some man who's free and having fun and going out with girls, the man who did the thing 28:17.240 --> 28:22.600 that you're going to be. Yeah. I'm going to find him. How could you find him, sweet? The police tried. 28:22.600 --> 28:28.760 They didn't try. All they wanted was to convict you. But it's nice to hear you say it, sweet, because I. 28:29.560 --> 28:34.760 What? Because it makes me know that you really did love me. Oh. You see, sweet, there, 28:34.760 --> 28:40.440 there are things you can face when you're like this that you didn't dare talk about or even think 28:40.440 --> 28:48.120 about before. I always loved you, Eve, but you were so much younger and full of ambition. Oh, don't, 28:48.120 --> 28:55.880 please don't. I'm sorry, sweetie. I wish I could have done things for you. There won't be much left 28:55.880 --> 29:01.320 for you now. You know how it is in this business. You spend it as fast as you make it. Oh, stop, Frank, I don't care. 29:01.320 --> 29:10.760 Why, my heel. Forgive me, sweet, but it's wonderful to know how you do for you. Frank, Frank, I'm not 29:10.760 --> 29:16.040 going to let this thing happen. There must be something. There must be some clue. Don't you think 29:16.040 --> 29:22.440 the police thought of it? But there are things the police didn't know. Things I saw. Things maybe, maybe you saw when you were up there 29:22.440 --> 29:27.320 and didn't tell them. I couldn't very well have told them anything about that. My whole defense was 29:27.320 --> 29:33.560 that I hadn't been up there, but there wasn't anything, nothing important. There must, there must 29:33.560 --> 29:38.280 have been something. Whoever was there before you, whoever did it, must have left some trace. 29:39.400 --> 29:45.800 I know what I'm going to do. What Eve? Her address book. I took it away in my purse because, well, it was 29:45.800 --> 29:50.680 open at the letter J and your name was in it. It was a silly thing to do, but I have it now and I... 29:50.680 --> 29:56.120 Don't do it, Eve. I'd love you to want to, but I can't stand to have you in this mess. Frank, 29:56.120 --> 30:03.720 please. I'm an actress. I can carry it off. Now tell me, please. Wasn't there anything you noticed? 30:03.720 --> 30:13.480 Well, I, I was only there a second. I, I saw it right away and I bit it. It was only, well, well, well, Frank, 30:14.200 --> 30:22.280 a smell. A what? Cigar smoke. Yes, yes. I remember that too. 30:22.280 --> 30:25.280 Frank, Frank, I'll write every day. 30:25.280 --> 30:26.280 All right, Mrs. Jones. 30:26.280 --> 30:27.280 Goodbye, darling. 30:27.280 --> 30:28.280 So long, sweetie. 30:36.280 --> 30:37.280 October 5th. 30:37.280 --> 30:39.280 Frank, darling. 30:39.280 --> 30:41.280 I've been studying the address book. 30:41.280 --> 30:44.280 Under the J's, there are only three others besides yours. 30:44.280 --> 30:46.280 And I'm going after them one at a time. 30:46.280 --> 30:48.280 Tomorrow, I'm going down to see Lieutenant Trout 30:48.280 --> 30:50.280 at the Homicide Bureau. 30:50.280 --> 30:53.280 I won't tell him anything, but he always seemed to me 30:53.280 --> 30:55.280 to be one of the few who tried to be fair. 30:55.280 --> 30:57.280 And I might need help. 30:57.280 --> 31:00.280 Oh, darling, I know it isn't much. 31:00.280 --> 31:02.280 But you must keep on hoping. 31:02.280 --> 31:04.280 Something will happen. 31:04.280 --> 31:08.280 And if only because I love you so desperately. 31:08.280 --> 31:10.280 So desperately. 31:16.280 --> 31:18.280 What's your angle, Mrs. Jeremy? 31:18.280 --> 31:20.280 My, my angle? 31:20.280 --> 31:21.280 Yeah. 31:21.280 --> 31:22.280 Why are you doing all this? 31:22.280 --> 31:25.280 Why, he's my husband and I love him and I... 31:25.280 --> 31:28.280 Look, Mrs. Jeremy, the cops around this town 31:28.280 --> 31:30.280 aren't exactly dumb, as you know. 31:30.280 --> 31:32.280 We know what you were like before you married him. 31:36.280 --> 31:41.280 We know that what you kept on being after you married him. 31:41.280 --> 31:44.280 Everybody seems to have known it except him. 31:44.280 --> 31:45.280 All right, Dick Tracy. 31:45.280 --> 31:47.280 A person can change, can't they? 31:47.280 --> 31:49.280 Sure, they can. 31:49.280 --> 31:51.280 The cop just hates to have anyone think they can make 31:51.280 --> 31:52.280 a sucker out of him. 31:52.280 --> 31:53.280 You know how it is. 31:53.280 --> 31:57.280 They can skip the apologies if that's what they're supposed to be. 31:57.280 --> 31:58.280 Sure. 31:58.280 --> 32:00.280 And what's this new evidence? 32:00.280 --> 32:01.280 Anything specific? 32:01.280 --> 32:02.280 Well, not very. 32:02.280 --> 32:04.280 Well, for instance. 32:04.280 --> 32:07.280 Did you know that Lorna Moore had a first husband named Jack? 32:07.280 --> 32:09.280 Eh? Go on. 32:09.280 --> 32:11.280 Well, it just occurred to me that he... 32:11.280 --> 32:13.280 He might be worth investigating. 32:13.280 --> 32:14.280 Why? 32:14.280 --> 32:16.280 Because, well, how do you know he wasn't some kind of 32:16.280 --> 32:19.280 madman or drunk or something that got off on a spree 32:19.280 --> 32:22.280 or something and just came out and killed her? 32:22.280 --> 32:23.280 Huh. 32:23.280 --> 32:24.280 You're pretty smart. 32:24.280 --> 32:25.280 Thank you. 32:25.280 --> 32:26.280 That nobody can take away from you. 32:26.280 --> 32:28.280 You're smart, Mrs. Jeremy. 32:28.280 --> 32:30.280 I suppose you've been through the old newspaper files 32:30.280 --> 32:32.280 and you dug that up. 32:32.280 --> 32:34.280 The drama appealed to you. 32:34.280 --> 32:36.280 You thought of tomorrow's newspaper files. 32:36.280 --> 32:38.280 Actress, wife of convicted man, 32:38.280 --> 32:41.280 frees adored husband at last moment by securing evidence 32:41.280 --> 32:43.280 overlooked by bungling police. 32:43.280 --> 32:44.280 You're very insulting me. 32:44.280 --> 32:46.280 Then maybe the next day the caption would read, 32:46.280 --> 32:49.280 Hollywood Studios vie in effort to place Eve Jeremy, 32:49.280 --> 32:53.280 glamorous actress detective, under contract. 32:53.280 --> 32:56.280 I want to forget everything you've just said. 32:56.280 --> 32:58.280 I haven't the time to allow myself the luxury 32:58.280 --> 33:00.280 of putting you in your place. 33:00.280 --> 33:02.280 Now, please listen to me. 33:02.280 --> 33:04.280 Oh, I'm sorry, Mrs. Jeremy. 33:04.280 --> 33:05.280 I really am. 33:05.280 --> 33:08.280 It isn't fair to string this out any longer. 33:08.280 --> 33:11.280 It's just that a policeman gets a little irritated sometimes 33:11.280 --> 33:13.280 at all the help private citizens try to give him 33:13.280 --> 33:15.280 in a case like this. 33:15.280 --> 33:19.280 I withdraw any untoward remarks I may have made, Mrs. Jeremy. 33:19.280 --> 33:21.280 Thank you. I forgive you. 33:21.280 --> 33:23.280 Now, regarding Jack Gordon, 33:23.280 --> 33:25.280 the murdered woman's ex-husband, 33:25.280 --> 33:27.280 he is a lush and he is, as you say, 33:27.280 --> 33:30.280 a slightly unpredictable and screwy guy. 33:30.280 --> 33:33.280 However, we've already questioned him, 33:33.280 --> 33:35.280 investigated him thoroughly, 33:35.280 --> 33:37.280 and we're satisfied with his story. 33:37.280 --> 33:40.280 We can't prove that he was near the Malibu beach house that night. 33:40.280 --> 33:42.280 There's nothing there that would incriminate him, 33:42.280 --> 33:44.280 no fingerprints or anything. 33:44.280 --> 33:45.280 No. 33:45.280 --> 33:47.280 Unless, of course, you want to step forward 33:47.280 --> 33:50.280 and say you were in the murder room and saw him. 33:50.280 --> 33:53.280 Well, I really... No, no, of course not. 33:53.280 --> 33:55.280 You don't want to go that far, hmm? 33:55.280 --> 33:56.280 Of course not. I... 33:56.280 --> 33:57.280 All right. 33:57.280 --> 33:59.280 Anything else besides Gordon? 33:59.280 --> 34:01.280 Nothing definite. Well, not yet. 34:01.280 --> 34:04.280 But I have a plan, and I want your help 34:04.280 --> 34:06.280 when I want your help. 34:06.280 --> 34:08.280 Okay. What do you want me to do? 34:08.280 --> 34:10.280 Tell me, what kind of evidence 34:10.280 --> 34:13.280 would I have to have? How specific? 34:13.280 --> 34:15.280 To upset a first-degree murder rap? Yes. 34:15.280 --> 34:17.280 Hmm. Something in writing. 34:17.280 --> 34:18.280 Oh, that's not so easy. 34:18.280 --> 34:21.280 You got a suspect in mind? Some particular person? 34:21.280 --> 34:24.280 Well, not yet.
