Transcript

Now we present Herbert Marshall as the man called X, the Cybertonight feature on NBC's five-show festival of comedy, music, mystery and drama, brought to you by... Chesterfield, the cigarette that has for you what every smoker wants, mildness plus no unpleasant aftertaste, the cigarette that brings you Bing Crosby and Bob Hope, by the makers of Aniston for fast relief from Peanut Peddick, New writers, New Ralgia,

And by RCA Victor, world leader in radio, first in recorded music, first in television. Herbert Marshall has the man called X. Wherever there is mystery, intrigue, romance, in all the strange and dangerous places of the world, there you will find the man called X.

Now, wait a minute. I think you may recognize these happy characters. Now here's Chester Feels' answer to Cyrano de Bergerac. Bob Hope. I'd top easy dad, but we only have a minute here to sell Chesterfield.

Okay, well let's get to it. Better tasting Chesterfield is the only cigarette that combines for you, mildness, with no unpleasant aftertaste. The mildness is a sense to prove. You just make the Chesterfield mildness test.

You know, open a pack and enjoy that mild aroma. Then smoke them and you'll know that Chesterfield's in mildness. And Chesterfield leaves no unpleasant aftertaste. That fact has been confirmed by the country's first and only cigarette taste panel.

So make our cigarette your cigarette. The reasons go together like this. By Chesterfield, Chesterfield, the one that proves its case. Yes, Chesterfield's a minor, minor, plus no aftertasteful whole. Open a pack and give them a sniff.

Then you'll smoke them. A thousand miles to the south of Florida headlines, south of the Bimini Islands, Nassau and ancient Hispaniola. A land of surf and pond-lined shore, a paradox of modern buildings and tropical splendor.
