Transcript

The Making of Campbell's Suits presents the Campbell Playhouse. Awesome world, producer. Good evening, it is Orson Welles. Our broadcast tonight is the Garden of Allah.

Few items of entertainment, novel play or motion picture. The Garden of Allah has been all three, have stood up under the test of public approval so well and so long. regret that Claudette Colbert could not be with us.

But we regard ourselves as very fortunate in having tonight for the role of Dominee. A very lovely lady who has been with us before. And whom you have recently had a chance to admire in that delightful and highly successful picture, honeymoon in Bali.

Miss Madeleine Carroll. And now before the Garden of Allah and Miss Carroll. That's a chapel as an interesting word for it. Thank you, Orson Welles.

Because there's no denying that for most of us any dish that includes chicken does hold a special appeal whether we're eating out or eating at home.

And I think it must be because I like for chicken almost what it amounts to a national taste, but Campbell's chicken soup continues to grow in popularity so steadily.
