You Were Meant for Me

From Hollywood, the NBC Theater presents... And you were meant for me, director Lloyd Bacon, star Dan Daley. The Hollywood Screen Director is present a romance set to music. You were meant for me.

Starring Academy Award nominee Dan Daley in his original role with Betty Lin, and introducing the director of the film, Lloyd Bacon. The life story of our guest screen director tonight reads like a saga of show business.

born into a distinguished theatrical family, he himself became first a stage actor and then a film actor and director. Is was one of the first minds to grasp the full potentialities of motion picture sound, and his pioneering in this field established him as one of Hollywood's most resourceful and versatile artists.

You've seen the fine touch of his direction in such grand entertainment as mother is a freshman, give my regards to Broadway, the Sullivan's, I wonder who's kissing her now, and tonight's story, You Were Men For Me.

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Lloyd Bacon. Folks, our story tonight is about the closing years of an era of chauvinist. Years packed with glitter and excitement. But somehow they were full of sweet music. Making you were men for me was an astalctic thrill.

And I hope you'll find the same thrill as we relive part of those years. Relent with Dan Daley as an officer did it, Chuck Arnold, and Betty Linus Peggy Mayhew. Here ladies and gentlemen is an era.

Here is you were meant for me. 1929, what a year. It was the beginning of the end of the era of wonderful nonsense. Million Dollar Gates, Red Grains, the Galloping Ghost, Flagpole, Citizen Marathon Dancers, Admiral Bird planning the stars and stripes in Little America.
