The Screen Guild Players. The Starling Players. This is John Bennett. This is Robert Young. This is Ralph Bellamy. Tonight, Lady Esther presents the Screen Guild Players in a rib-tickling force about a merry-till mishap, Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

Our stars are lovely Joan Bennett who plays Mrs. Smith, Robert Young as Mr. Smith, and Ralph Bellamy as Jefferson Custer III. On September the 10th, 1939, 39, David Smith married Anne Krausheimer. On September the 11th they had a quarrel. But on the morning of September the 12th they made up. David said it was his fault and said

it was her fault. On September the 13th they had a quarrel. But on the morning of September the 14th they made up. David said it was his fault and said it was her fault. Yesterday was December the 13th 1942 and they had a quarrel. We joined them on the morning of December the 14th.

But she is an old tomato. Well, just the same. I didn't have to prove it. I guess I lost my head when you threw the sugar bowl at me. Oh, I shouldn't have done that, David. My heart leapt up in my throat and sort of hung there.

The minute I saw it flying through the air. Nothing to be frightened about. I ducked in plenty of time. That's what frightened me. It really was a cowardly thing to do, David. You knew very well you were standing right in front of the potted palm that mother gave us for Christmas.
