Skirts Ahoy

From Hollywood, the Hollywood Radio Theatre. Esther Williams and Barry Sullivan in Skirt-Sahoy. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Irving Cummings. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. I'm sure you're all aware of the excellent job the waves do in their official capacity in the United States Navy.

So in tonight's place, Skirt-Sahoy, we're going to take their serious side for granted and get on to the more romantic, amusing episodes in their lives. And starring in this frothy Metro go with Mayor Screenhit, we present one of the most talented of today's stars, Esther Williams, co-starring with handsome Barry Sullivan in their original roles.

Now, Skirtzajoy, starring Esther Williams as Whitney Young, and Barry Sullivan as Paul. I'm a doctor, a physician. I became a doctor because in the innocence of my distant youth, I dream dreams. And what happened? I joined the Navy.

I've got nothing against the Navy. I think it's great. It's a man's world and a good life shared with weather beaten, grizzled old sea dogs that brave and brawny band will go down to the sea in ships.

That's right, you guessed it. I got transferred. Sent to a place called the Great Lakes Naval Training Center. Most of it is devoted to the training of men, but some of it is for females.

For this is the home of the waves, the lady sailors. Paul, I'm glad to see you. Good evening, Dr. Johnson. I've been looking for you all day. You want ethical quack? I want to have you hold up before the medical association.

Oh, no. Look, Paul, don't be bitter. I've been here for six months. I had to have a replacement. Yes, but it didn't have to be me. Look, I didn't ask for you by name. I wouldn't do that to my worst enemy.
