The speakers of Campbell Soup present the Campbell Playhouse. Orson Welles produces. Good evening listeners. This is Ernest Tappell speaking. Tonight the Campbell Playhouse presents Orson Welles in his own radio version of Consulate Law.
Heading the cast are Aline McMaean of the theater in Hollywood, and Gertrude Berg, who leaves her role as Molly Goldberg on her own program, The Rise of the Goldbergs, to appear on another broadcast for the first time.
Let me ask what comes to your mind when I mention chicken for dinner. I think I know. You visualize a fine plump chicken sizzling brown and falling into tender slices under the touch of the carving knife. And you recall the eager anticipation as the place to pass from place to place.

You'll see how chicken rich it is in the very golden glitz and of it. You'll taste deep-down chicken flavor in every tempting spoonful. What's more, you'll find pieces of tender chicken meat in it and fluffy, snowy rice.
I know you'll agree that Campbell's is the real old-fashioned kind of chicken soup. Why not keep several cans of Campbell's chicken soup on hand? Good evening, Mr. Dorton Well. The Campbell Playhouse, as I've already mentioned, is a radio show and not a broadcast from the stage.
