Captain January

Remember, a hallmark card when you care enough to send the very best. From Hollywood, the makers of hallmark greeting cards bringing Mr. Lionel Barrymore and his Luanna Patton in Laura E. Richards Captain January on the Hallmark Playhouse.

Each week Hallmark will bring you Hollywood's greatest stars and outstanding stories chosen by one of the world's best-known authors. They distinguish novelist Mr. James Hilton. Good evening ladies and gentlemen, this is James Hilton. Tonight on our Hallmark Playhouse we present Captain January by Laura E. Richards, a genial story which first appeared in the 1890s and over a period of years has not lost its

popularity or its tang of the sea and ships. And tonight we are particularly proud and honored to welcome a starring guest of the evening Lionel Barrymore, that great figure of the American theatre. And we are also delighted to have with us the charming little picture star, Luanna Patton.

But before we raise the curtain on Captain January, here is a brief message from Frank Garth. My message from Hallmark tonight, Mr. Hilton, is addressed particularly to lovely Luanna Patton, star of Walt Disney's newest picture, so dear to my heart.

To me? Yes, Luanna, we've planned a grand surprise for you. Surprise? Oh, I love surprises. What is it, Mr. Garth? Oh, not yet. It comes between the acts, Luanna. But now, our curtain.
