Transcript

The Columbia Broadcasting System presents a new comedy. My friend Irma. Starring Marie Wilson as Irma and Kathy Lewis as Jane with John Brown as Al. Friendship, friendship, just a perfect bloodshed. When other friendships have been forgotten.

Excuse me. Excuse me. I just never look where I am going. I just keep walking with my head high. Just like the doctor told me in taking deep breath and hailing and exhaling like this.

Did you see that picture of the Jolson story? I just loved it. I cried and cried. Fine, fine. Now would you please help me up? Oh, certainly. Here, give me your hand. Oh, my! What a beautiful ring!
