Roma wines present the pens Roma wines made in California or enjoyment throughout the world Salud, your health, Senor Roma wines toast the world The wine for your table is Roma wine made in California for enjoyment throughout the world This is the man in black here for the Roma wine company of Fresno, California
to introduce this weekly half hour of... suspense. The night from Hollywood, Roma wines bring you a star, Miss Lucille Ball, who appears tonight as a Broadway lady, whom you may have often seen if you are a devotee of musical comedy.
She's the third one to milect in the chorus line. And so with this little lady's narrative about the 10 grand, and with the performance of Lucille Ball is Miss Gigi Lewis, we again hope to keep you in.
I'm standing in front of the Broadway Lindy's with my nose practically pasted against the window. It's late and I'm hungry. I've been pounding the pavement all day doing the rounds of the manager's offices. You'd think a good hooper like I ought to be able to land something with all the shows on the big street.
But here I am standing like General Sherman statue in front of Lindy's looking at the pasted up menu and mentally over indulging in a big, thick, juicy, teapooned state smothered of an end. A comfortable crowd inside there can toy politely with their chicken sandwiches and their shrimp cocktails for all I care. Just give me a T-bone's mother's onion.
Here I am at five cents of my handbag, literally. And not for the ride home in the subway, no extra charge for the empty stomach. Well, anyway I could take my shoes off when I get in the subway. I turn around and give Bloondee one last sorrelable gander and then make it the subway entrance.
