Smilin Through

The Gulf Green Guild Theater. The director of the Gulf Theater and your host, Roger Pryor. Good evening, everyone. Once again, your neighborhood good-go-feeler and the Gulf Oil Company's welcome you to the Gulf Theater. Tonight, you'll meet four more of the greatest names in Hollywood.

Norma Shearer, Basil Ratthon, Lewis Hayward, Hallowal Hobbs. And of course, Oscar Bradley in his Gulf Orchestra. Tonight, we bring you a play that is thrilled audiences of world over. You'll probably recognize the title of it from the music that Oscar's playing.

Smile and true. The play that gave Norman Shire her most beloved role. Norman has always wanted to do Smile and True again. And what better place than here in the Gulf Theater, the star's own theater.

For the Gulf Theater is the only place where you meet Paul, your favorite star. Even those who have never been on the air before. For instance, next Sunday, you'll hear Shirley Temple in her very first broadcast.

a special Christmas Eve broadcast, co-starring Nelson Eddie. We call the Gulf Theater the Stars Own Theater, ladies and gentlemen, because the money that would ordinarily go to the stars will appear here is used instead to help meet the needs of the motion picture relief fund and to build a home for the less fortunate members of the industry.

And now, on with the show. Right. Music. The scene is England. A moonlit summer night in the year 1914. An old man, John Conterett, sits alone in his place sits alone in his garden. Strange tales are told of his garden, and of the ways of his owner on night, such as this.

He talks, they say, to the ghost of Moony and Claire. Won't you come back to me? Well, this is Moony. These years without you have been so long. Be patient, my dear Lord. These years are only moment.
