Lucky Strike, first again with tobacco men. More independent tobacco experts smoke lucky strike regularly than the next two leading brands combine. A recent impartial survey reveals this overwhelming smoking preference of the men who really know tobacco, the independent auctioneers, buyers and warehousemen.

Remember, at market after market, these experts can see the makers of lucky strike consistently and buy that fine, that light, that naturally mild tobacco. And they, for their own personal smoking enjoyment, choose Lucky Strike.

So light up a Lucky yourself. And puff by puff, you'll see. L-S-M-F-T, L-S-M-F-T. Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. And this fine Lucky Strike tobacco means real deep-down smoking enjoyment for you. Yes, you'll like Lucky Strike.

The Strike program starring Jack Penny with Barry Livingston, fellow Harris Rod, Chester Dynasty, and yours truly, non-wills. Ladies and gentlemen, it is usually our custom to take you to Jack Benny's home in Beverly Hills.

But at the moment, Jack is taking a bath. So we'll take you to Mary Livingston's house instead. Oh, Pauline. You can have the rest of the evening off. I have a date tonight. We may go to a movie.

Oh, that's nice. Or we may go to a nightclub. Oh, that's wonderful. I'm going with Mr. Benny. Oh. I know what you mean, Pauline, but I haven't been out with Mr. Benny since we got back from Europe.

Gee, I'll bet your trip to England would have been a complete fizzle if it hadn't been for... Still, Harris. Ha ha ha. You still have a crush on Phil, haven't you, Pauline? Ah ha. Did you get to act with Mr. Harris at the Palladium?

Yes, we did one sketch together, and at the end of the scene, he kissed me. Oh, tell me, Mr. Livingston. What's it like when Phil Harris kisses you? And it's like being slapped in the face with a bar rag.
