Transcript

The makers of Campbell's Sups present the Campbell Playhouse, Boston Wells, producer. This is Orson Wells. Hollywood is where the movies come from, and relevant to tonight's broadcast, nobody's had more fun poking fun at Hollywood than George Kaufman.

I have referenced not only to Merton of the movies and once in a lifetime, but also to the whole legend of things George Kaufman has said about the movies. I lost my girlish laughter as the name of tonight's broadcast, and it's the best seller which it deserves to be. And tonight, besides Mr. Kaufman, other guests on the Campbell

Playhouse, Ilka Chase, who's been very important in the animal kingdom, the women, and a dozen other Broadway hits. And tomorrow, Javer, who is a graduate of Zig Field Swoopy, Gordon's Three's a Crowd, Wyman's on your toes, and just last season, the extremely successful London production of Idiot's Delight. There's also Frank redick, Agnes Morehead, Myron McCormick, Ray Collins, and finally our author herself.

Year by year, day in and day out, this one soup is served more often than any other. You and I could sweep across the country looking in at dining-room windows any noon or any night.

We'd see again and again people drawing up their chairs to bright steaming plates of Campbell's tomato soup. These are facts. You can check them with your own grocer and among your friends. Why is this one soup so often eaten by so many people?
