Barnacle Bill

Lux presents Hollywood. Sreadio Theater brings you Waller's Berry, Marjorie Maine, Noah Berry and Carol Ann Berry in Barnacle Bill. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Keeling. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.

There comes a knocking on our door tonight, a seafaring character whose name is famed in Song and Story. Barnacle Bill. While he may not be identical with the gentleman who vowed to sail the sea until I croaked, piped in square and chew and smoke, he certainly has many of the lusty and contagious manners

of his namesake, and no one could better portray the role of such a character than Waller's beary. Waller appears, co-starred with Marjorie Maine, his brother Noah, and his daughter, Carolanne. in Metro-Golden mails, boisterous comedy, Barnacle Bell, a saga spiced with sentiment and humor, and sparked by the excitement so inherent in the lives of those who seek their fortune by the sea,

matching brain and muscle with the element. In keeping with that spirit of resolptfulness afloat, many of you probably saw in a recent issue of Life magazine the photograph of a young American wife sailing to join her husband overseas.

Plainly visible in her open suitcase are the gifts she's taking to her husband's family. One is canned goods and the other is two packages of locked flakes. And I'm sure that when that young bride meets her in-laws for the first time, that friendly gift of locked flakes will do much to break the ice as well as to recommend her as a housewife

of distinction. We're off to the pungent coast of California and the first act of Barnacle Bill, starring Wallace Viri in the title role and Marjorie Maine as Marge Cavendish, with Norviri as Adam Kelly and Caroline Viri as Virginia.
