Have Gun Will Travel "North Fork" 06/21/1959

"More of you Mennonites here to make trouble?"

Ah, yes: a constipation commercial. There were lots of Ex-Lax commercials in the late 1950s on the radio.

Father Knows Best "Wedding Preparations" 06/28/1951

Betty's cousin is coming over to have a wedding in their house & of course it's almost cancelled, then it's put back on (and they've got no chairs because they had cancelled those also), but good thing: Jim forgot to mail the invitations so nobody would have come anyway. But they've got 1,400 servings of chicken salad.

Lux Radio Theater: "Irene" 06/29/1936

Ah, Lux flakes: use it for laundry, dishes, and cleaning your face. And they stop stocking runs. Just dip your hosiery in Lux flakes in water overnight.

Thankfully, even though this was first broadcast in 1936, it doesn't sound horrible (like tinfoil being dragged on the street and being pecked at by birds and squirrels).

"Oh, no: I think you're interesting." Miss O'Dare isn't that interesting to me but, well, I guess that's proof that I'm not an actor.

Irene D'Dare has an Irish mother I wouldn't wish on you. Irene goes from being a sales girl to a model (for reasons I can't understand, but it does bring her into contact with Donald who tells her he loves her).
