Transcript

Thus, Spence. The user of radio is outstanding theater of thrills, the master of mystery and adventure, William and Robeson. One of the most unpredictable things about this business of entertainment is talent. We have seen singers become actors, example Frank Sinatra.

And actors become singers, example Jeff Chandler. Steve Allen composes music, Ernie Kovac's rights and novel, Jackie Gleason conducts an orchestra, and now we present the latest talent turn about Stan Freeberg satirist, whom you're about to hear in a new identity, Stan Freeberg actor.

Listen, listen then as Mr. Freeberg stars in Alibi Me, which begins in exactly one minute. Another visit with Joe and Daphne Forsyth. Joe? Joe? Come on Joe, get up, it's two o'clock. What do you want?

Joe, you gotta get off that couch and fix up the yard. Joe! That's another day, let me sleep. No, we've gotta keep the place in good shape. Now rise and shine. Oh, come on, Daphne, I'll do it tomorrow.
