Immortal Wife

Remember, a hallmark card when you care enough to send the very best. Tonight from Hollywood, the makers of hallmark greeting cards bring you Loretta Young, in Irving Stone's great story Immortal White on the hallmark way up.

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 present a dramatization of a book by a writer who has made a habit of giving us excellent biographies that read like excellent fiction. He is Irving Stone and the book of his we have chosen is Immortal Wife, which is the story of a woman who married one of the great pioneers of American history, John C. Fremont.

Fremont was a soldier explorer whose name every American and especially every Californian should revere, and like many men of action he owed a great deal to his wife. Indeed, in an age when custom did not often permit a complete partnership between husband and wife in all phases of their lives, Jesse and John Fremont proved themselves pioneers in this sense also.

Jesse was truly an immortal wife, as Mr. Stone calls her, and his book is a fascinating and fit in tribute to a wonderful woman. Starring in our part tonight, we are privileged to present Miss Loretta Young.

And now, Frank Goss, have you a word or two 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.
