C-O-L-G-A-T-E, Colgate presents Bill Stern. With a Colgate, Shave Cream, Sports, Newsreel. Bill Stern, the Colgate, Shave Cream, Man is on the air. Bill Stern, the Colgate, Shave Cream, Man is story's rare. Take his advice and you'll look in, you'll get a shave that's moving clean.

You'll be a Colgate, brushless, man. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is Bill Stern bringing you the 378th edition of the Colgate, Shave Cream, Sports, Newsreel. Our guest tonight in Hollywood, California is one of the most famous orchestra leaders in the world, Spike Jones.

But before we bring you Spike Jones in person, may I say that? Tonight, we're going to change our method of narration slightly. Instead of hitting each story very hard for dramatic emphasis as we have done, we're going to underplay rather than overplay the dramatic and see what you think.

Real one, portrait of a dead man. Is it all right for a dead man to speak? They said I was vicious, brutal and greedy. Sure I was, but when I died last week the papers carried stories of my death.

However, I know of one story, they forgot to print. Strange that a dead man should speak, and yet his story is even stranger. For when that man died nobody, nobody had a good word to say about him, and yet before he died, one man, one man did have a good thing to say about him.

And that one man was the most famous prize-fight manager of all time, Jimmy Johnston. But supposing we begin the story. The story of Jimmy Johnston. And what happened to Jimmy when he met a man who was no good.
