Transcript

Transcribed. Good evening. This is Ronald Coleman. Inviting you to join Mrs. Coleman and me for the next half hour. When our sponsor, the Joseph Schlitz Brewing Company of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, presents the Hall's Avivate. I'd like to do as millions of people are doing all over the country.

Ask for Schlitz, the beer that made Milwaukee famous. Schlitz tastes so good to so many people that it's the largest selling beer in America. It has to be fine to be first. It's a Ivy.

It holds a mic that surrounds us here. Welcome again to Ivy. Ivy College, that is, in the town of Ivy, USA. It's one of those nights that makes home a real haven. Dr. William Todd Hunter Hall, President of Ivy, is thankful to be home at last after a dinner meeting at the board.

D'Dawn is dressing gown and slippers and join his wife Victoria before the fireplace. That's better. Now blow wins and crack your cheeks. Rage blow. You cataracts and hurricanes spout till you have drenched as people.

We could use a couple more shingles and ask people. I've got three pans catching the water in the kitchen. Well, did you have a boisterous evening with the boys? Rather let us say a boring meeting with the board. All their dinner meetings follow the same revolting pattern.

First, the preliminary and quite false inquiry into one another's health with no one listening to the answers. Then, a few firm opinions of our national administration and then a fruit cocktail. The good old fruit cocktail, without which any dinner party would be much happier one.

Oh, it's not the fruit cocktail I object to. In fact, I'd rather like it. No, it's that inevitable omnipresent, unavoidable, and uninspired one-half of a Maraschino cherry. Why a harp? And anyone afford a whole mare-ski no cherry? Now the fruity resources of this plundered planet so far reduced. It's a matter of stability, darling.
