Babs Sweet Sixteen Birthday Party

It's new, it's amazing! It's Prel, P-R-E-L-L, Proctor & Gamble's new radiant cream shampoo in the handy tube. Prel brings you the life of Riley. Prel that removes unsightly dandruff in as little as three minutes and leaves hair radially clean, radially lovely presents the life of Riley, with William Bendix as Riley.

Down through the years, whenever Chester Ray Riley's daughter, Babs, has celebrated her birthday with a party, her doting father has always been on hand to see that the kids enjoyed themselves. For instance, on Babs' fifth birthday...

Okay, kiddies, watch the bottle now. It's spinning. It's slowing down. Well, little Susan Rachmill. You're it? You get to kiss me. That's the way you feel. Take your present and go home. And now Babs is a grown-up young lady of 16, and a birthday party is being planned to celebrate the occasion.

And true to form, her devoted daddy is doing most of the planning. I got it all figured out. The guests will be arriving around 8.30. And me and you, Peg, we'll receive them. Now, wait, Riley.

We'll receive their coats and I'll receive the presents. No, Riley. Then we'll go in. What do you mean, no? What's wrong? Nothing. I'm not going to be here. That's right, Daddy. You're going out for a movie.

What? I'm not going to be at my own daughter's party. Me? Your closest friend? Well, I've known you since you were born. Look, dear, I'm not going to be at the party either, and I've known her since the day she was born, too.

But I saw her first. Well, naturally I happen to be under an aesthetic at the time. Well, that's your tough luck. Now, let's get one thing straight. I'm coming to this party or there ain't gonna be no part.
