Going My Way

Lady Esther presents the Screen Guild Players. The Lady Esther Screen Guild Play Tonight. Not just a moment, that's something extra special.

And here is one of your favorite stars to tell you about it. The President of the Screen Actors Guild, George Murphy. Oh, thank you, Truman Bradley. Hello, everybody. It's nice to be here. This is a red letter, or I should say, a Red Book Day for us.

Tonight, we're going to present the Red Book Magazine Awards awards for the finest screen performances and the finest direction of the past year. Now just to put the frosting on the cake, we bring you the two red book winners and highlights from the picture that won them their awards.

One of these talented performers is a lovable old codger, one of my favorite actors. He's done lots of grand things on the screen before, but he really tops himself and the rest of them with the latest performance in a role that stamps him as a great artist.

Ah, come on now Mr Murphy. as one Irish man to another is the Blarny Stony of Kissed. Sure it was the role that made the man and not the other way, though. Oh, yes, folks, you've guessed it.

There's only one brogue like that this side of the old side. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Barry Fitzgerald. Of course, you're all way ahead of me now. You know that Red Book makes its annual award to Barry Fitzgerald and Bing Crosby for their memorable performances in the Paramount picture going my way.

And if you're wondering by any chance where Crosby is, Well I have a hunch that you're gonna hear from him too, yes you will. This road leads to Rainbow Bell, going my way Off the head, just pack a basket Full of wishes, and off you start With Sunday morning, your heart will bend
