The Gunfighter

Screen Directors Playhouse. This is the Screen Directors 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, always milder, better tasting, cooler smoking, plus no unpleasant aftertaste. That's the biggest plus in cigarette history.

and by the makers of Aniston, for fast relief from the pain of headache, youritis, and your algae. Tonight, the Screen Director's Playhouse is pleased to present a dramatic story of the Old West. Our adaptation is The Gunfighter, and our star is Gregory Peck. And now, ladies and gentlemen, here is Mr. Gregory Peck, the breathless excitement of the Old West when only the smallest fraction

of a second stood between breathing and lying still, has been slowly blended by civilization and progress until all that is left are wide open spaces, incredible sunset, and cowboy songs which still tell the fable of those golden days, the days of the gunfighter.

Thank you, Gregory. And now an important word from RCA Victor. Jan Pierce, the great Metropolitan Opera Company tenor, doesn't sing a single note on RCA Victor's exciting new release, What is a Boy? Instead, Jan Pierce's What is a Boy is one of the most unique and heartwarming recitations ever recorded. It's the sentimental story of

a boy, a story that captures all the excitement of growing up, and RCA Victor has recorded it for you in all three record speeds, 78, long play, and 45. Now you can make it a part of your record collection.

These words and this music you'll want to hear again and again. What is a boy is a wonderful story, beautifully delivered by Jan Pierce and set in the soft background of music, composed and conducted by Hugo Winterhalter.
