The Lost Horizon

Remember, a hallmark card when you carry enough to send the very best. Tonight from Hollywood, the makers of Hallmark's Reading Card bring you Herbert Marshall in James Hilton's Lost Horizon 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.

They distinguish novelist Mr. James Hilton. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is James Hilton. Tonight on our Hallmark Playhouse we have the great hour of welcoming one of Hollywood's most distinguished actors, Mr. Herbert Marshall.

Thank you Jimmy. It's a great honor for me to play in your lost horizons. Not only a wonderful story, but it was really put a new word into the language. Shangri-La. I wonder if before we start you might be telling us whether there is a real Shangri-La somewhere.

Well, you won't find it on any of the maps, but in a sort of a way everyone can find his own Shangri-La in his own heart. It may not be easy, but the birth of a new year is a good time to make the resolution to find a little personal peace of mind in a troubled world.

And now, Frankot, haven't you ever heard of who to say? There's a new year coming, a new year with a brand new set of important days for remembering people, birthdays, anniversaries, holidays. For all these days, for every memorable occasion on your calendar, there's a hallmark card that says just what you want to say, the way you want to say it.

And on the back of every card appears the hallmark that says, you cared enough to send the very best. Now James Hilton's Lost Horizon starring Herbert Marshall. You are now deep in the mountains of Tibet, the highest part of the earth's surface.
