From Hollywood, the Hollywood Radio Theatre. Ginger Rogers in It Grows on Trees with Marcia Henderson and Greg Palmer. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Irving Cummings. Leading some Hollywood ladies and gentlemen.
I don't know exactly what your reaction would be if you suddenly discovered money growing on trees in your backyard. What I imagine would be somewhat the same as our overjoyed heroines into Knight's play. And as our star we have that delightful comedian, Ginger Rogers, truly one of our most glamorous personalities.
It grows on trees, was turned into a screen success by Universal International Studios. And tonight we will introduce two of their most promising young plagues, Marsha Henderson and Greg Palmer. Now it grows on trees, starring Ginger Rogers as Polly, with Moshe Henderson, and Greg Palmer as Ralph.
It started off like a perfectly normal day for Polly, the usual early mornings scramble involving three children of various dimensions, one loving husband, that's me, and the daily battle to get us out of the house on time.
Polly! Polly, where are you? Oh, good! I was afraid one of the kids had locked you out again. I'm trying to shave. Who are you talking to just now? Mrs. Pryor, she wanted to borrow some sugar and butter.
Why do you let her get away with it? Some neighbor. We've got that woman's on our right thief. Well, what I really wanted to know is what happened to this window. Where's the screen? And it was all rusted here and full of holes, so I gave it to Mr. Gonzalez to fix.
Well, it's windy outside. Look at the dust and stuff blowing in here. Well, then put the window down. I tried. I suffocated. Well, then put it halfway down. Oh, Phil, really? There. You see? Oh, it still blows in.
