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. Now the halls of Ivy! Let's erm, welcome again to Ivy. Ivy College, that is, in the town of Ivy, USA.

Dr. Hall, William Tucklander, hall, the president of Ivy, has problems shared by Mrs. Hall, the former Victoria Cromwell of London Stage. Problems not entirely curricular. Their immediate worry concerns the sudden and so far undiagnosed illness of a last night's dinner guest, Mr. Clarence Wellman.

Well, I'm worried, Victoria. Seeing the nose of the chairman of the Board of Governors turn a violent crimson immediately after he has dined as a guest in one's house is a privilege granted fuel college presidents. I'd say privilege in the sense that seeing the Grand Canyon at sunset is a privilege. Do you think Penny did something to his gluten bread? There's nothing you can

do to gluten bread. You either eat it or throw it away. But Mr. Wollman's illness distresses me. He and I have clashed over policy ever since his election to the bored and he's almost certain now, consciously or unconsciously, to lay both his nose and his stomach squarely at my door.
