Our Camel Cigarette Show is visiting Detroit tonight for the second time within the past few weeks comes to you tonight from under plants in Detroit's Eastwood Gardens .. and if you listen fairly closely for the next twenty-seven minutes, you'll hear songs by our guest of the evening .. and some old favorites and some new tunes by yours truly. As for Colonel Stoopnagle .. well, you'll never forget his words tonight .. but I'm sure you'll try. How are you, Colonel? STOOP: As the man said when he stepped into the wet cement and stood there till it dried ... I can't kick. But I did have plenty of trouble today. This morning I took a bubble bath, and I used too much of that bubble powder. MONROE: Well, what happened? STOOP: I floated around on the ceiling for two hours until somebody shot me down. Then this afternoon, I hitched a ride on a big truck that was carrying a tent. I lit a match, and the whole truck blew up. MONROE: Colonel, are you sure the truck was carrying a tent? STOOP: It said so in big red letters .. T.N.T...tent. MONROE: Keep talking, Colonel .. the water on your brain makes such beautiful ripples. How come an important man like you hitches rides on trucks? STOOP: Well, usually I travel around in the special airplane I built. That's the one with the parabolic co-axial landing-gear, non-magnetic variable ratio ignition-system, and radar-controlled inverse reciprocal direction finder. MONROE: Well, why didn't you use your plane today? STOOP: I busted the rubber band that turns the propeller! MONROE: Good-bye for now, Colonel .. it's always a pleasure to end a conversation with you. And it's really a pleasure, ladies and gentlemen, to bring on the pert and pretty young lady in charge of guest-singing this evening. by now she's no stranger to our Camel Cigarette Show .. and if you've heard her, you'll know why we keep inviting her back each time. Listen, now, to Miss Connie Haines .. and .. LOVE IS SO TERRIFIC. 4.25 MUSIC: LOVE IS SO TERRIFIC.. HAINES 6.35 (APPLAUSE) 6.45 6.45 MONROE: That was Connie Haines, ladies and gentlemen... need I say more? Connie will be back in just a little while for the encore I know you want. The song we're turning to now is one of the current raves of the juke-box set .. romance and amour division. Which means that it's a ballad .. with a Continental Flavor. "Laroo, Laroo, Lily Bolero". 7.00 MUSIC: "LAROO, LAROO, LILY BOLERO" ...MONROE. 9.40 (APPLAUSE) 9.50 GROUP: More, more than ever before -- More people are smoking Camels! From Walla Walla to old Baltimore -- More people are smoking Camels! More, more, more, more... They come by the score.. More people smoke camels than ever before! CONOVER: Say, Vaughn, I don't want to quibble about your geography; but couldn't you change that Walla Walla line to "From Eastport, Maine to Honolulu" -- and get the whole shebang in? MONROE: No, Hugh! It wouldn't rhyme. CONOVER: Ah, maybe so. Rhyme is your department; reason is mine. You know, Friends, the reason for Camel's tremendous popularity is experience. Yes, millions of smokers have tried Camels and compared them with other brands they've smoked. And they've found that Camel's choice tobaccos, properly aged and expertly blended, give them just what they want in smoking enjoyment. Try a Camel on your "T-Zone" -- T for Taste, T for Throat . See how your taste enjoys the rich, full Camel flavor...see how your throat reports on the cool, cool Camel mildness. See why more people are smoking Camels than ever before! MONROE: Colonel, I've got an idea. How would you like to take a trip to the Thousand Islands and spend a week on each island? STOOP: Thousand Islands .. a week on each island ...... why, Vaughn, that would mean you wouldn't see me again for 20 years! MONROE: ..........Nice thought, isn't it folks? And while the Colonel starts packing, this is what I wanted to tell you about the next tune: it's the title song from the picture "Melody Time", just the way we recently recorded it. 12.50 MUSIC: "MELODY TIME" .. MONROE 14.55 (APPLAUSE) 15.05 15.05 MUSIC: BRIDGE MONROE: And now I see Miss Connie Haines is ready to pick up where she left off a few minutes ago. The microphone has been lowered to the appropriate five-feet-two-in-high-heels level .. and the boys in the orchestra are having a tough time trying to keep their eyes on their music. Gentlemen, if you'll all concentrate on the tune called SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME.. Connie will sing it. 15.3 MUSIC: "SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME"...HAINES 17.35 (APPLAUSE) 17.50 17.50 MONROE: Just as I expected, Connie...the applause for you was long and loud. I understand your opening next Monday night at Detroits famous supper Club, The I know you'll score there too. Now, Thanks for your visit: And as I also expected, here's Colonel Stoopnagle again .. with something on what he laughingly calls his mind. STOOP: For your information, Mr. Monroe, it happens that my mind is on the Professor Einstein type! Or more on the Thomas Edison type! Or more on ... more on ... well, more on the moron type. Anyway .. when you mentioned the Thousand Islands before, it reminded me that I need a vacation. And I know just where I'm going to spend it. In my cellar. MONROE: Colonel, do you feel all right? Why spend your vacation in your cellar? STOOP: It's cool, it's not crowded, and it's right near where I live. Of course most people take their vacations in the Summer, but I'm going on my vacation now. MONROE: I've got a slight piece of news for you, Colonel. This is Summer. It's June. STOOP: June .. already? My, my how the months fly by! Last year this time it was only April. Are you sure this is Summer? MONROE: Of course, Colonel! This is the time of year when the earth is nearest the sun. Where do you think all the hot air has been coming from lately? STOOP: Philadelphia. What a silly idea ... Summer coming in......... HUGH: Vaughn, maybe I can be of some help around here. MONROE: Hugh, the Colonel is beyond help. HUGH: Well, I'll try, anyway. Colonel, the seasons of the year have to do with astronomy and geography. To begin with .. what's the shape of the earth? STOOP: It's in terrible shape! Summer coming in June .. the Detroit Tigers in fourth place .. Acres O'Reilly still roaming around loose back in the hospital again ...... HUGH: No, no, Colonel .. let's put it this way. What shape are the earrings your girl wears? STOOP: Square. HUGH: Colonel, doesn't she have any round earrings? STOOP: Certainly! She wears round earrings on Sunday. HUGH: All right! Then what's the shape of the earth? STOOP: Square on week-days and round on Sunday. Now go away, Conover .. I was telling Vaughn about my vacation. What do you think I ought to do, Vaughn .. go to the seashore or stay home? MONROE: Why not both, Colonel .. half at the beach out in the sun, and half down in your cellar. STOOP: But that would put me back where I started. MONROE: Why? STOOP: People say I'm half-baked right now. I want to go to a quiet place, Vaughn .. where I can work on my book. I've been at it for three years, you know. MONROE: You're writing a book, Colonel? STOOP: No, I'm reading one. And I've also been reading that article about you in the July issue of True Story Magazine. I love that full-page color picture of you they printed ... I pasted it up on my ceiling, along with my pictures of Clark Gable, Ronald Colman and Charles Boyer. MONROE: Now why should you put them on your ceiling? 21.50 GROUP: Camels, yes, Camels -- More people smoke Camels than ever before! SOLO: She plays a lot of bridge, and her husband does too; They meet the nicest people ev'ry time that they do; Among the players in each quartet -- They say Camels are the favorite cigarette! CONOVER: Yes, Camels are the favorite cigarette of millions of smokers. And among the millions are many doctors. According to a nationwide survey, more doctors smoke Camels than any other cigarette. Three leading independent research organizations asked one hundred thirteen thousand, five hundred and ninety-seven doctors what cigarette they smoked. The brand named most was Camel! MONROE: There's a handy, thrifty way to buy your Camels -- and that's by the carton. CONOVER: Right, Vaughn.
