Transcript

Time for Wrigley's Spearman. The March of Time. The makers of Wrigley's Spearman gum have no more control over the March of Time than they have over the editorial policies of the newspapers or magazines in which they advertise.

Right up, after the minute this program goes on the air, the news of the day is clashing into the studios in New York where this program originates. Rigley's are content to sit back, as you are doing now, to see what the editors of Time have in store for us all tonight.

What do you call it? Well, uh, it's much too young to be christened. No, a bit too young. We'll call it the king of the day. Our country has been signalled by the King of England.
