Transcript

Remember, a hallmark card when you care enough to send the very best. Right from Hollywood, the makers of hallmark greeting cards bring you Ruth Hussey in Christopher Morley's Parnassus on Wheels on the Hallmark Playhouse.

Each week Hallmark will bring you Hollywood's greatest stars in outstanding stories chosen by one of the world's best known authors, the distinguished novelist Mr. James Hilton. Good evening ladies and gentlemen, this is James Hilton.

Right on our Hallmark Playhouse we present a charming story by one of America's finest writers, Christopher Morley. It has the intriguing title, Parnassus on Wheels, and as Parnassus was a mountain where the ancient Greeks worshipped the fine arts, you can imagine that almost anything can happen in a story called Parnassus on Wheels.

A few writers handle this kind of storytelling exquisitely, and Christopher Morley is among them. You can play with an idea in a rather enchanting way that wins a permanent place in the affection of readers, and I think this is proved by the fact that Parnassus on Wheels, written thirty years ago, is not only as fresh today as it ever was, but is among the very few novels

that have never been out of print over such a long period. In this most charming story, we are especially privileged to have us our start-a-night that equally charming actress Ruth Hussey. And now, Frank Arse, have you a word about Hallmark?

There are Hallmark cards for every memorable occasion on your calendar. For birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, yes, for every occasion that calls for remembrance, for a friendly greeting, a word of good cheer, and expression of sympathy.

There is a hallmark card that says just what you want to say, the way you want to say it. And that identifying hallmark on the back, well, that says you cared enough to send the very best.
