Transcript
The makers of Campbell's Soup present the Campbell Playhouse. Awesome Wells producers. Good evening, this is Orson Wells.
The night we bring you a revival of one of our favorite broadcast. Charlotte Bront is unforgettable up story, Jane Eyre. And in the title role, we proudly present a very gifted actress, a frequent and always welcome guest in the Campbell Playhouse, Miss Madeline Carroll.
The first Ernest Chappell has an interesting conversation to report. Mr. Chappell, thank you Orson Wells. You know, just this past week I was talking to a man who, for a large part of his life, has been a globe-drotter.
In the course of our conversation he said to me, I heard you on the Campbell Playhouse last Sunday night refer to the universal liking for chicken. Well, he continued, I believe I can vouch for that.
I've discovered that chicken, prepared in one way or another, is among the best-liked dishes in every country I visited. In Hungary I've enjoyed chicken paprika. In Italy, chicken kachitari, I've eaten chicken pilau in Armenia, curried chicken in India, and sat down to chicken tamales south of the border. Now, that comment of his, struck me, is highly interesting. With people of world
around liking chicken so much, it's no wonder that Campbell's chicken soup is so popular. Because in every drop of the glistening, golden broth, you taste rich chicken flavor. Steeped in the good flavor of the chicken too is the fluffy white rice, and there are pieces of tender chicken meat in every fragrant plate flow.
If you've already enjoyed this homey old fashioned chicken soup as Campbell's make it, won't you remember to have it again soon? And if you haven't yet tried it, won't you do so say at dinner tomorrow night?
