John the Shoplifter

Philip Morris presents the Bickerson's produced broadcast and transcribed from Hollywood starring Francis Langford and Lou Parker Yourself Yes, believe in yourself Compare Philip Morris, match Philip Morris, judge Philip Morris against any other brand Then decide for yourself which cigarette is milder, tastier, more enjoyable Believe in yourself and you'll believe in Philip Morris, America's finest cigarette.

They fight, they yell, they squabble and squawk, but they love each other as much as any married couple in the world. That's Francis Langford and Lou Parker, stars of Philip Raph's humorous creation, The Bickerson's.

And here is John Bickerson himself, Lou Parker. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, and good evening. Before Francis and I square off for our weekly marital mayhem, here is Ms. Langford as our more lovable self, the G.I.'s Purple Heart girlfriend.

Francis, Ranny, it's almost impossible to keep up with all the requests from the fellows in the service, but I think we should attend to this one. It's from the gang at the Walter Reed Hospital in Washington, D.C.

and they want to hear you sing, Falling in Love with Love. Nothing would give me greater pleasure. So with Tony Romano and the orchestra, this is for you, fellas. Falling in love with love is falling for me, believe.

Falling in love with love is playing the fooling to my decided children. Learning to trust is just for children in school. I fell in love with love one night when the moon was full.

I was on wise with eyes unable to see. And in a moment we'll have a look in at the bicker sons. But first I'd like to have a word with the most important person in the world when it comes to choosing a cigarette.
