Transcript

It's new, it's amazing! It's Prel, P-R-E-L-L. Proctor and Gamble's new radiant cream shampoo in the handy tube. Prel brings you the life of Riley. The shampoo that removes unsightly dandorous in as little as three minutes and leads hair radially clean.

Radially lovely presents the life of Riley with William Vendig's as Riley. For several years now, Chester A. Riley has lived in a small suburb of Los Angeles, and Riley, being the man he is, has left his mark upon the neighborhood. So tonight, as he returns home from a hard day's work, his passage down the street does not go unnoticed.

Take for instance the Werner's cockerspaniel. Ah, doesn't look at that cute little pup there, panting happily, his tail wagging gaily. And then he sees Riley. But Riley walks and as he crosses the street, the policeman on the corner shouts the greeting.

Hey you, you blindest sub-merg But Riley ignores these rebuts from a cruel material world. For now, he's almost home. Barry can always count on his loving wife and children to shower him with a tenderness, admiration, and respect that is his due as master of the house.

Oh, hi, everybody. Hello, Daddy. Hiya, Pop. Well, come home with me. Good-bye, Daddy. Hey, wait. Come back and see you, too. Well, what's wrong? We're in a hurry. Never mind. Come in here. That a way to greet me when I come home after a hard day's work.

Hello, goodbye. There's a rudest kid I ever saw. But, Danny! Don't try to deny it. You don't know the first thing about common courtesy. Yeah, but don't be frightened. Don't be frightened. Don't be frightened.
