The Witness


    "I am the Witness! Sealed alone in the dark of the theater, I record a play called life as it sprawls across the steel and concrete stage of the city! Before the glittering footlights of street lamps, in front of the curtain of walled tenements and luxurious penthouses, in the wings of the winding alleys and neon-flushed storefronts, I sit and watch the comedy and drama enacted by the unsung stars of the passing chorus! I listen to the measured meter of blank verse, spouted by the great actors and minor characters... so come; be my guest as the curtain rises on a new drama...The Witness speaks!"

    This is the Witness, judge, jury, and avenger of evil. He later becomes the master reporter of the beyond, the nether realms, from the depths of Hades to downtown New York, often broadcasting his melodramas of mystery from a radio station somewhere in the supernatural. "This is your host...The Witness! And I am near...watching! Because nothing escapes the eyes of the Witness!"
