Lady Esther presents the Screen Guild Players. The Screen Guild Play Tonight, Casablanca. The Starring Players, this is Humphrey Bogart. This is Singered Bergman. And this is Paul Henry. When I Lady Esther presents the Screen Guild Players in Warner Brothers' exciting story of romance

and intrigue in wartime Africa, Casablanca. With the original stars of the picture, Paul Henry, as Victor Laslow, Ingrid Bergman, as Ilselund and Humphrey Bogart as Rick Blaine. Barely escaping the conquering German's entrance into Paris, Rick Blaine fled to Casablanca.

Ugarthi did not have those letters of transit when he was arrested, and he's seen no one but you, Ricky, since the murder. Are you building up too, Louis? Arifting me? No, not immediately, anyway. I just want to give you a word of advice.
