■ When a man leads a lady practically to the altar, and then jilts her, he's in hot water up to his neck! Which is just where Andy foundhimself Adapted by special permission of Freeman Gosden and Charles Correl/, from their Campbell Soup program, heard nightly, Monday through Friday, on CBS. INEXORABLY February 24th approached. Nothing Andrew H. Brown of Harlem could do slowed down the march of time. Sleeping every day until noon only increased the pain and worry. It was no use, no matter if the world came to an end — and it looked as if it was going to, at least for Andrew Brown — the morning of February 24th would still dawn, cold and menacing. Madam Queen had said that on February 24th she was going to sue Andrew Brown, defendant, for breach of promise. There was in all of Harlem no one who doubted that she would. There was no one, for that matter, who thought she had a chance of losing. If it hadn't been for that New Year's party of the Kingfish, Andy might still have been walking the streets a free man, his shoulders back, able to face the world.

First the party, then Andy's hoarse words to Madam Queen, "Honey, we-uh-we can't git married after all." Then the terrible silence the next few days, while wild rumors of Madam Queen's revenge came to Andy's ears. And, at last, the final, crushing blow — the legal papers notifying Andrew Brown that, on the twenty-fourth day of February, Madam Queen was Now for the first time you can read Amos V 30 going to prove in court that he had committed a breach of promise which had so broken her heart nothing less than $25,000 would mend it. The future looked black indeed. Not even Amos could find a silver lining. There was also the problem of Lawyer Snoop, assigned to defend Andy. After three days of personal and expensive investigation Lawyer Snoop had reported three momentous discoveries to Amos and Andy, viz: ( 1 ) Madam Queen's Beauty Shop was closed. (2) Madam Queen herself didn't feel so well. (3) Andy's defense at the trial would probably cost a lot of money. Inasmuch as Amos and Andy had been aware of these facts even Andy's most hilarious adventures in si RADIO AND TELEVISION MIWOR rv
