Transcript
Ladies and gentlemen, the jaws of Schlitz Brewing Company of Milwaukee, Wisconsin presents the Halls of Ivy starring Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Coleman. I was curious. I tasted it. Now I know why Schlitz is the beer that made Milwaukee famous.
If you like good beer, you'll find it pays to be curious and learn about Schlitz for yourself. And now, the Hall of Ivy! That's the wrong... Welcome again to Ivy, the College of Ivy and the Town of Ivy, USA.
Dr. William Todd Hunter Hall, President of Ivy College, has all the troubles common to college presidents. They consist mostly of fiscal matters, financial affairs, and money. As he's often been heard to say, a man in his position must be one part babysitter, one part mediator, and 98 parts panhandler.
But Dr. Hall has at least one advantage over his scholastic opposite number. He has a wife named Victoria, formerly a glittering ornament of the English musical comedy theatre. And now the epitome of what a tired man should uphold you.
Ah, what a lovely room this is. Not an old grad in sight. Vicki, are you here? Yes, dear. Oh, you look tired, Totti. Hello, Roxy. Oh, not too awfully bad. I have pledges of $151,000 toward the New Gymnasium.
Well, that's wonderful. $150,000 seems like a great deal of money. Yes, yes, it does. Until you remember that these are pledges, not cash. Hmm. I suppose there is a difference. There is indeed. The same difference it exists between the sudden slight illness of a wealthy uncle and the reading of the will.
Ah, yes Penny, ready with the tea? Right here, sir, and some yes I read biscuits, too. Thank you, Penny. Penny, yes, Mum. How many times must I tell you? Cookies, not biscuits. We are now in the United States of America and we speak Mr. Truman's English, not the King.
