Planning a Trip to Europe

Tonight we inaugurate a series of broadcast episodes over this station entitled Abroad with the Lockhart. Mr. and Mrs. Lockhart of the typical American, Mr. and Mrs. who go abroad. Mr. Lockhart is a businessman, comfortable, blunt, knows his own mind, enjoys his business and his community.

A plain American businessman. Mrs. Lockhart is the pleasant type of American Wyatt. A thorough housekeeper belongs to the woman's club and the literary club of her town, and still retains the spirit of romance. Their complex situations we are certain will delight the friends of this station each week.

The scene tonight is the living room of the Lockhart's. Good evening. I'm reading. I see where Hoover was fishing again last weekend.

Pardon me. Yeah, but he didn't catch any. I bet he thinks that fish are almost as stubborn as senators. He can't be using the right bait. Now, when I go fishing this summer... That's what I want to talk to you about.

Fishing? Well, certainly, my dear. Why didn't you say so? Turn off the radio. No, dear. Not fishing. Well, what then? I want to talk to you about this summer. Well this summer means fishing to me.

Dear, I want to show you something. Here it is. What's this? It's a circular. Circular? About what? A circular about Europe. Oh, so that's it. I threw out about 50 of those things last week.

They were all over the house. I just want you to look at it. Well, leave it here. I'll look at it later on. I want you to look at it now, dear. Oh well, where are my glasses?

On your forehead. Yeah, you know, these circulars are a delusion. They only tell you what they want you to know. Not what you ought to know. Now, let's see. Uh, to her Europe with us.
