A evident Costello program brought to you by Camel, the cigarette of costly or properly aged tobacco. See if your throat and your taste don't make Camel the first with you too. Find out for yourself.
Listen to the great rhythms of Will Osborn and his orchestra, the swingy singing of Connie Haines. And that gallant chubby little gentleman who, when he walked into Hedy Lamar's dressing room by mistake, politely said...
Hey, Costello. What? What are you so excited about? What's the matter with you? I don't know, Abbot. I'm all mixed up. In my room I got a big picture of Lauren Bekol on the ceiling.
Yes. And on my dress I got a picture of Rita Hayworth, on the walls I got two pictures of Betty Gravel, and under my pull I got a picture of Darcy LaMourne and Sarang. And I think I'm going nuts.
Why? All night long I keep dreaming of Jean-au-Pree's horse. Look, talk's ends, Castell. What were you doing in the courthouse this morning? Oh, I was there to see my Uncle Artie Stevens get his divorce.
Was it an interesting divorce trial? Oh sure, did you have to check Mr. Stevens? I'm brand new divorce and I'm gonna give you wife 35 dollars a week. And what did Ardi say to that?
He said, that's mighty nice to you, Judge. I'll try to slip her a buck every now and then myself. LAUGHTER Now, Lou, that was ridiculous. What were the grounds for the divorce? Misrepresentation. She said that before they were married, Uncle Ardi told her he was well off.
Well, was he? He was, but he didn't know it then. LAUGHTER Well, she must have had better grounds than that. What else did she claim? Well, she wanted to get rid of him because she was always getting indifferent.
