Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. You know scientists are continually working to bring us greater efficiency and more speed in aircraft. And so in tonight's play, No High Away in the Sky, we tell you the story of a rather absent-minded scientist who, because of one trans-oceanic flight, found himself the most talked-about man on two continents.
As the stars of this intensely absorbing drama from 20th Century Fox studios And recreating their original roles, we have one of the most capable actors on the screen, James Stewart, and one of the most glamorous women in the world, Marlene Dietrich.
Yes, grammar is an international word. Just as lux toilet soap is an international complexion care, because lovely women everywhere who want fresh, lasting new beauty depend on daily luxfacial. Now, no highway in the sky, starting James Stewart as Theodore Honey and Marlena Dietrich as Monica Teesdale, with Evelyn Eaton as Marjorie Carter.
The proudest possessions is the aircraft establishment at Farnsworth, where some of the world's finest commercial planes have been developed. It's closing time, and one of the officials has just left the plan. With him is a scientist with Theodore Honey.
The very kind of you to drive me home like this, but I assure you that. You told me several times, honey. You could just as easily have taken the bus. I always go home on the bus.
Mr. Honey, I'm rather curious about that experiment of yours in the vibration shed. Professor John told you I've been away for several months, and now that I'm back, may I ask just what you're up to in there?
Well, yes, yes. I'm vibrating. So I understand. The entire tale assembly of the new Rutland reindeer suspended in mid-air, and you're vibrating it. Why, Mr. Honey? Well, I'm waiting for the tale to fall off.
