Victoria Regina

The makers of Campbell's soup presents the Campbell's Lighthouse. Forts and wells producers. Miss Helen, since I've been producing time on the year, hundreds of thousands of lighthouses all over this continent.

A birthday dinner I had at my grandfather's farm years ago when I was a little boy. It was a great event that visit, a glorious adventure. Grandpa and I drove up from the station and hustled me through the kitchen so that I shouldn't see the good things he was fixing.

But one whiff of the aroma from Granny's cook stove, and I knew that there would be roast chicken for dinner. What a chicken it was, too. Cooked to a tempting russet brown, and just falling apart under Grandfather's Carping Knife.

I stayed overnight. In the next day, Granny made a part of chicken soup. It shone like gold, that soup. And I remember that I thought it was the finest soup I'd ever tasted. These memories came back to me last night when I had chicken soup with the same glowing look, the same tempting aroma, and the same wonderful flavor.

This was Campbell's chicken soup, and I can tell you that Campbell's is the kind of chicken soup that grandmother made so well. Nourishing soup, heartwarming, and chicken tasting to the last spoonful. Intuit making goes all the good meat of tender chickens, and fluffy, perfectly cooked rice, and melting tender pieces of chicken meat too.

And so I say, as sure as you like chicken, won't you make a point of having it this weekend? And now for our Campbell Playhouse production of Victoria Regina, starring Helen Hayes with Orson Welles.

For this broadcast tonight, Orson Welles has prepared a script which contains not only the great scenes from the successful stage production, but some of the episodes from the original play which have never yet been seen in the theatre.
