We invite you to enjoy life. Life with Luigi, a new comedy show created by Psi Howard and starring that celebrated actor Mr. J. Carol Nash with Alan Reed. A year ago when Luigi Vasto left Italy to start his new life in America, he promised his mother that he would write and tell her about his adventure.
So now let's read Luigi's letter as he writes to Mama Vasto in Italy. Dear Manir, in America is a big business, magazine. Wonderful thing about American magazine. They fool about advertising. And the advertisements I like the most are the ones that tell you how to make a lot of money easy.
They say, become rich overnight. Grow mushroom is in yourself. Become rich overnight. Make envy in the Bead the Ring. Become rich overnight. Learn to meet the cutting in your own living room. Momma me if I could only stay up for three nights.
I make a fortune. But it's another advertisement that says to make $100 a week become a secretary stenographer. Then I read the morning I see is a no good for me. It's only for somebody who's got a short hand.
These things sound very good, mama mia. But if you're not smart, like your luigi, is possible to get food. Like one advertisement I see that's safe. We pay you big money. Right to box at 22.
Mama mia, how can this company have money if they got office in a box? Most of the foolish advertisement I see is the one that's safe. We give you pants one to turn off. My mommy isn't that stupid.
How I'm going to look or walk in a straighter where my pants are one-third off. All I saw is that that say, learn about the your telephonic company. My mommy is a plant it alone.
