Transcript

In just a moment, X minus one, but first, after a hard day's work, there's nothing more welcome than an evening of variety entertainment. And that's just the tonic provided tomorrow night by NBC Radio. You'll laugh your cares away when good-natured contestants carry out the rib-tickling stunts dreamed up by MC Jack Bailey on NBC's truth or consequences.

And later on, Groucho Marx peps things up with lots of spontaneous, good fun and more of the friendly insults at which he's so accomplished. From a brighter, livelier evening tomorrow night, it's groucho marks and truth or consequences on this station.

Now stay tuned for X minus one on NBC. Have a nice trip. The seat number is 15. Next, please. Calm down for blast off. X minus five, four, three, two, X minus one, fire. On the far horizons of the unknown come transcribed tales of new dimensions in time and space.

These are stories of the future. Adventures in which you'll live in a million could be years on a thousand maybe worlds. The National Broadcasting Company in cooperation with Galaxy's Science Fiction Magazine presents HEC, HEC, HEC, HEC, HEC, HEC, HEC, HEC.
