Girls Are Like Boats

A very bet. From Hollywood, the makers of Hallmark Reading Card, bring you an exciting dramatization of an unforgettable story on the Hallmark Playhouse. Tonight's story was chosen from the whole world of fiction by one of the world's most popular authors whose knowledge of stories that will entertain you and stir your imagination is universally recognized.

Hallmark is proud to present the distinguished novelist, Mr. James Hilton. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Tonight on the Hallmark Playhouse we offer for the first time on the air a dramatization of a story which captures my fancy rather neatly when I first read it.

It's called Girls Are Like Boats and it's by Charles Rawlings. And because we all liked it so much we thought it quite a good idea to talk to Mr. Rawlings himself about it. So we finally located him in a small village in the state of Maine and we found as we guessed that he was something of an expert about boats.

Perhaps when you heard girls are like boats you would wonder if he was equally an expert about girls. Anyhow, he still says they're like boats. So let's leave it at that, especially since his story has two heroines, a girl and a boat.

And our hero was emotionally involved with both of them. Mr. Rowings also told us he had raced many boats himself, both on Lake Ontario and Long Island Sound. However, the main thing is, I think you'll agree when the program is over, that he can weave a yarn as smartly as he can trim a main cell.

But before we begin, a few words will thank God. I'd just like to remind you that there are hallmark cards for any memorable occasion you can think of. For birthdays, anniversaries, holidays. Yes, for every occasion that calls for remembrance, there is a hallmark card that says just what you want to say, the way you want to say it.
