Love Crazy

Oh, uh, waiter. Yes, sir? I'll have some sliced tongue, a lettuce and tomato salad with rocoper dressing, and a bottle of cold, papped blue ribbon. Yes, sir. Finest beer served anywhere. From Hollywood, papped blue ribbon, finest beer served anywhere, proudly presents...

...on director's playhouse, production love crazy, director Jack Conway, star William Paul. The Hollywood screen directors present a little love, a little laughter.

The motion picture comedy Love Crazy starring William Powell. The pressure of picture making has prevented the director of Love Crazy, Mr. Jack Conway from introducing his own film story tonight.

However, our star, William Powell, won't escape the watchful eye of a screen director. As a matter of fact, our guest director has been watching him ever since 1929, when he directed Bill Powell in one of his first talking pictures, the Canary murder case.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, the team of director and star is united again as we introduce Mr. Malcolm St. Clair. Thank you. You know, it would make a pretty good story had I told Bill Powell 20 years ago that he'd never be an actor.

But I didn't. I thought he was swell. So all I can say about his success is I knew it all the time. Now I'm going to join the rest of you in enjoying one of Bill's most amusing roles, a part of Steve Ireland in Love Crazy. Here it is.

Once upon a time, a man named Steve Ireland lived with his wife Susan in the Winston Towers Apartments. They lived in apartment 12a and they were very, very happy. After four years of marriage, they still talk like this.

Darling, I love you. And I love you. And I love you. If an apartment 12a was excruciatingly sweet. And then one day, into apartment 11a, moved Isabelle, Steve's old girlfriend. 12a, 11a. Wow. Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da.
