It's new! It's amazing! It's Prell, P-R-E-L-L. Proctor and Campbell's new radiant cream shampoo in the handy tube! P-L brings you The Life of Riley! Well, the shampoo that removes unsightly dandruff in his little ass three minutes and leaves hair radiantly clean.
Radiantly lovely presents The Life of Riley with William Ben Diggs as Riley. Well Christmas will be here in a few days and Chester A. Riley is in a jolvial pre-holiday mood. As we look in on him, he's gleefully outlining his plans for the big day to baths in June.
Yes, sir, kids, it'll be a great day. And afterwards, we'll eat a big Christmas dinner and then we'll go visit. We'll visit all our friends who gave us presents and thank them. And then we'll visit those who didn't give us presents and give them their last chance to come through.
Ah, that's nothing like Christmas. That kid? Ah, Pop, you have to go through the same old routine every year. And that's just what do you mean by that remark? Nothing only. Or can we go away somewhere over Christmas?
Go away. Leave our home on Christmas. Why not, Daddy? We could go to Lake Arrowhead, just in and... I'm shocked. I'm speechless. Well, what's the matter now, there? You know what they're sending those children of yours.
Oh, now they're my children. They want to go away for Christmas. Leave our home. That's the thanks I get for giving birth to them. Yeah. Oh, now they're your children. Well, they're just talking. See, for Daddy, you think we said something horrible?
Some gratitude. I work like a dog day in, day out. to provide a nice home for you kids. The least you could do for me is to spend Christmas in here, in the home I bought for you.
