The Good evening, this is Orson Welles and our guest tonight is Miss Gertrude Lawrence Gertrude Lawrence of Susan and God and the couple of other dozen successes in America and in England Gertrude Lawrence currently of Skylark and tonight in one of the nicest stories ever to come out of Hollywood Few movies of our time of one such quick success
or lasted so long in the minds of those who saw it as the original of tonight's offering Mr. Frank Capra's notable production for Columbia Pictures Corporation. Mr. Deeds goes to town. But before Mr. Deeds goes to town and we go with him Mr.
Chapel, Mr. Ernest Chapel has an interesting meeting to tell us about Mr. Chapel. Thank you, Orson Welles. It's very quickly told, ladies and gentlemen. Just the other day I was talking with a young woman who was a wife and the mother.
And of course of our conversation she said to me, you know, Mr. Carepull, I've heard you on the Campbell Playhouse telling us about Campbell's tomato soup. And now I'd like to tell you something about Campbell's tomato soup. And when I invited her to do so she went on.
Well those bright red and white cans of Campbell's tomato soup you speak about have been on my family's pantry shelves, my grandmother's, my mother's, and my own for more than 20 years Now I guess many women listening tonight could tell a similar story. Perhaps you could yourself.
Certainly there's something about the bright and biting color, the enticing aroma, the keen delightful flavor of Campbell's tomato soup, that wins and holds friends through the generations. And that something, of course, is accounted for first, last and always, by the tomatoes, Campbell's use.
