Transcript

The Camel Screen Guild Theater, our stars tonight lended our nail in Paul Douglas, our play a letter to three wives, our hosts the makers of camel cigarettes. How mild, how mild, how mild can a cigarette be?

Make the camel 30 day test and you see small camels and sea. No throat irritation. Not one single case of throat irritation due to smoking camels. That's what noted throat specialists reported in a coast-to-coast test of hundreds of people who smoked only camels for 30 days.

That's how mild camels are. Make a note. Remember your throat. Try camels today. And now while you discover the smoking enjoyment of camel cigarettes, for your listening enjoyment, The Camel Screen Guild Theatre brings you one of the most provocative and exciting pictures of the year, with the two great stars who made it so absorbing on the screen.

And of course, they haven't the slightest idea, but I've prepared a little surprise for them.
