One Bennett, Gary Cooper, Francis Langford and Edward Arnold. Hi bud. Yes, what is it? I ain't change you for getting somebody important. Oh, oh yes, yes of course. And also Fippa McGee and Molly. Okay, me too.

You can take that gun out of his ribs now. The Gulf Screen Guild Theatre. The director of the Star Zone Theatre, Roger Pryor. Good evening everyone. Your neighborhood good Gulf dealer and the Gulf Oil companies welcome you to the Gulf Screen Because we have such a large cast tonight, it'll be a few seconds before we get things

all lined up and ready to go. So while we're waiting, I'd like to speak in the interest of 35,000 friends of yours. They're your neighborhood good-go feelers. I'm speaking to you on their behalf about the services they're ready to render when you come into their stations.

These services involve much more than just filling your tank with gasoline. They include courtesy services, such as wiping your windshield, checking your tires, giving road information, checking your oil level, your radiator, wiping off the lights and many other things.

Golf dealers render these services with a smile because they know such cheerful services are a part of their business. They also try to be good housekeepers by maintaining attractive stations with clean facilities which make your stop at a golf station a real pleasure.

So stop at the sign of the golf orange disc, get golf no-knocks gasoline, go fried oil and some of that good golf service. Our cast for the night is just entering the cult theater stage.

The audience greets them with a tremendous burst of applause. There's Molly with Fibba McGee and Francis Langford, Gary Cooper with Joan Bennett and Edward Arnold, all stepping to the various microphones. And now the house lights fade and the show is on.
