## Resource

Box 13 presents “Look Pleasant, Please,” episode 16, originally broadcast December 5, 1948. Alan Ladd stars as mystery writer Dan Holiday in this Mutual Broadcasting System mystery. An unsigned Box 13 request sends Dan to the Mercantile Building to pose for a seemingly innocent photograph with a young woman. When the picture appears alongside an engagement announcement, the harmless favor becomes the beginning of a dangerous new case. Box 13 presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned and mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
