Transcript

The beer that made Milwaukee famous presents the Hall of Ivy starring Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Coleman. Good evening, this is Ronald Coleman. I'm inviting you to join us again on the campus of Ivy College as the guests of our sponsors, the Brewers of Schliits beer.

The Taste of Schliits. The taste so many people prefer has made Schliits beer first in sales in the USA. If you like good beer, do as millions of people are doing all over the nation.

Ask for slits, the most popular beer in history. That's a role. Welcome again to Ivy. Ivy College, that is, is the town of Ivy, USA. It's the post-Prendial period at number one faculty role, post-Prendial being euphemism for, oh, let's let the dinner dishes go for a while.

And Dr. William Todd under Hall, I'm his president, sinks happily into his big leather chair, for a little after dinner conversation with his wife, Victoria, who is almost too beautiful to be as intelligent as she is.

Dr. Hall says, Ah, that was a splendid dinner, Vicki, and you should... Why are you gazing at me with that air of concern? I had an easy day, and, except for some slight difficulty in keeping my eyes open, my health is excellent.

And why didn't you sleep well last night? Well, to use the Yankee technique of answering a question with a question, how did you know I didn't sleep well? No, I had to get up and look at the clock two feet time, pass around some more, and go to the kitchen for something.

Milk? I'm sorry if I disturbed you darling, why didn't you let me know you were awake? The glass of milk is a pallid substitute for your stimulating conversation. Well, that's beautiful. But I was afraid I'd wake you even up us.
