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.
There, months before the American troops landed, he was operating Rick's American cafe. Casablanca swarmed with refugees, and Casablanca's more permanent foreign residents did a land office business in exit Visay's and letters of transit. Rick, however, avoided involvement in that dangerous business until the night our story began.
He was in his office above the cafe, where he could watch and hear the crowd below when his head waiter called to him. Yes, Karl? Hey, Prefector, please, Captain O'Rinehart, would like to speak to you.
I'll send him in. Yes. O'Rinehart, will see you, Captain O'Rinehart. Thank you, Karl. Hello, Rick. Hello, Louis. Why the formality? Well, I have some unpleasant news for you, Ricky. Meany looking for more graphs. Oh, no, no, no.
At least not right now. My men arrested Ugarthi on this way to your old lad wheel, Ricky. Well, except Ugarthi, what's so unpleasant about that? Well, in itself nothing, but we arrested Ugarthi for murdering two German couriers and stealing their letters of transit.
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.
