Transcript

Screen Director's Playhouse, Stars Margaret Truman, James Stewart, Production, Jackpot, Director, Walter Lang. This is the Screen Director's Playhouse, one of the weekly features on NBC's All-Star Festival of Comedy, Music, Mystery, and Drama. Brought to you by RCA Victor, world leader in radio, first and recorded music, first in television, by Chesterfield, the only cigarette that gives you mildness plus no unpleasant aftertaste,

The cigarette that brings you Bing Crosby and Bob Hope, and by the makers of Aniston, for fast relief from the pain of headache, your rightis, and your outre. On the anniversary of our 100th broadcast, the Screen Director's Playhouse is pleased to present that hilarious motion picture comedy hit, Jackpot.

And here are our stars, Miss Margaret Truman and Mr. James Stewart. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Good evening. Tonight's story, Jack Pot, is a comedy that deals with the trials and tribulations of the Lawrence family.

It's a satire on the many giveaway programs offering thousands of dollars, fabulous amounts to the average American family. Winning One is an adventure that is rather unforgettable, as we will soon see, but before we begin, here's Jimmy Wallington.

And here's a word from RCA Victor. Last week, the curtain went up on the 75th anniversary of the National Baseball League and the 50th anniversary of the American League. There's no better way to celebrate than by enjoying at first hand the thrills and the clean sportsmanship of baseball today.

Baseball today, it's the American way. Of course, the next best thing to a seat in a stand is to seat in front of a 19-inch RCA Victor television. RCA Victor's new extra-powerful picture pickup gives you the best possible reception everywhere.
