We invite you to enjoy life, life with Luigi, a new comedy show created by Sighard, and starring that celebrated actor Mr. J. Carol Nash with Alan Reed as a sullie. A year ago when Luigi Vasco left Italy to start his new life in America, he promised his mother that he would write and tell her about his adventures.

So now let's read Luigi's letter as he writes to Mama Vasco in Italy. I remember me. Chicago is a wonderful city. But there's one thing not to so good about the biggest city. Nobody has to know each other.

In our little town of Casa Lamare, I'm a walker down the street and a smile. Everybody has a smile back. Over here, if I'm a walker in the street and a smile, everybody's a think I'm a crazy.

No. A smaller town like ours, Maybe it's not to have an advantage of a big city like a Chicago, but it's so nice. You say hello to everybody, even a tour god. And if it's a lady god, do you take off your hat?

Over here, I'm a once a take off of my hat to stand on the street and smile and what's to happen? In a half hour, I'm going to collect the 45 cents. I'm a little over here, a mama mia.

People is always in a big rush, rush, rush, rush. They even got the one-hour special for rushing. It's called the rush hour. This is for the people who forgot to rush during the daytime, so they get the one more chance to catch up at a night.

Everywhere a sign says they're telling people to hurry up and save a time. Get the haircut in 15 minutes. Get a car washed in at 12 minutes. Eat the busy bee lunch in at 10 minutes.
