Transcript

From Hollywood, camel cigarettes present the Screen Kill Player. Our stars, Cary Grant, Loretta Young and David Niven. Our play, the Bishop's wife, our host, camel cigarettes. Experience is the best teacher.

Try a camel. Let your own experience tell you why more people are smoking camels than ever before. Yes, try a camel on your T-zone. That's teeth-a-taste and teeth-a-throat. Your true proving ground for any cigarette.

See how Camels rich full flavor pleases your taste. See how Camels cool, cool mildness appeals to your throat. Tonight, Camels cigarettes take great pride in presenting the Screen Guild players in Samuel Goldman's Smash Hip, which has been honored with five Academy Award nominations this year.

And starring in their original roles, three of your very favorite people. Loretta Young, David Niven, and Kerry Grant. The camo screen-gill players bring you the Bishop's wife. Let's just suppose that you were married to a bishop.

To a bishop who was trying to build a cathedral. Suppose you saw him growing haggard with his cares, harassed by the petty selfishness about him. Irritable, frustrated, and completely unhappy. And then suppose that suddenly, quite suddenly, he changed.

Became again this simple, charming man he once fallen in love with. Now tell me. Wouldn't you be up to call that America? I don't think as long as I live I shall ever forget that particular day.

I've been out shopping all afternoon and I've forgotten my problems for a while. And when I got home... Julia is that you? Oh yes dear yes. Oh Henry I'm so sorry I'm late. I went down to get our Christmas tree for Mr. Minetti.

You remember him don't you? and I stopped in at St. Timothy's. Oh, it's such a beautiful church, even if it is in the storms and in everybody asked for you. And I ran into Professor Wathridge too.
