“Come Closer!"

“Come closer!  I want to talk to you!  I’m going to tell you an astounding story!  The story of “The Maltese Falcon”!

...Okay, well maybe NOT EXACTLY "The Maltese Falcon"! 

After all, Humphrey Bogart won't be there, and neither will Mary Astor. 

TWO outta four ain't bad!

But, Sydney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre will be there, accompanied by a third "stranger" and a mysterious and ancient idol. 

You might even find some actors later associated with DC Comics properties -- an' a guest-guy who was in STAR TREK!

So, come back Monday and see what all the fuss is about!

...And we'll show you we can do it WITHOUT Bogart!

Finally, and strictly as a as a bonus illo, here's a Sydney Greenstreet Flea (!) -- from the TINY TOON ADVENTURES short "Flea for Your Life".  (Yes, really!)
