June Moon

The makers of Campbell's Soup presents the Campbell Playhouse, Orson Welles, producer. Good evening, this is Orson Welles. It's been my custom on opening these Sunday Campbell Playhouse shows of ours to talk about,

in the order named A, our offering for the evening and B, our guest star. My task tonight is relatively easy. Our offering is our guest star, Mr. Jack Benny. Mr. Benny, not exactly unknown to the airwaves as a comedian and violin virtuoso, has consented tonight to make his radio debut as an actor, pure and simple.

It is his art I hasten to add which is pure. It is the character he plays who is simple. Tonight for the first time since I've been its producer, we've opened the doors of the Campbell Playhouse, open them to admit as our guests, a few hundred of Mr. Benny's fans, who Mr. Benny at least numbers in millions. We bid them a sincere and hearty welcome. And

if Mr. Benny behaves himself tonight, the silence of the Campbell Playhouse will remain as always undisturbed. Granted, of course, the tonight special is no particular invitation to sobriety on the part of the giddy is guest in our career. June moon by ring lardin and georgesk olfman is advertised as his vehicle until just now at least

it's always been one of my favorite place now for just a minute or so I'm Mr. Benny gets in the mood. Earnest chapel whiz in the mood has something to tell us about a discoveries made mr. Chapel thank you Orson well perhaps it's hardly to be called a discovery the other night I was browsing through the

diaries of the great and greatly human Englishman, Samuel Peeps. When I came upon this entry in the year 1665, all morning at my books which I have had new bound, then was said W. Penn in his carriage to the Lord Chancellor's, we were there regally entertained, dining upon a vast dish of chickens of most excellent sweet meat.
