Microphone drops
DON WILSON
In just a moment we'll hear from Mr. Gershwin again, but first we have a scene from real life for you. Two traveling salesman are chatting in a hotel lobby. One is an old timer and the other a youngster on his first trip. DON WILSON exits.
3 BELL TONE. Actors enter behind mic.
(Fred Astaire and Jimmy Durante doing double duty!)
Jones: Well, well well, Charlie, how'd you make out today?
Charlie: Well, pretty good I guess, but I don't think if I was cut out for this traveling business, Mr. Jones.
Jones: You don't eh, well what's wrong?
Charlie: Well, with all this jumping from town to town and riding on trains and busses, well, I can't watch my diet. And the result is that I feel pretty rotten most the time.
Jones: Hmm, that's not so good.
Charlie: Yes, you see my trouble has always been constipation. And I'm particularly anxious about it right now. I've never been able to find a laxative that agrees with me.
Jones: Is that so. Well, it's about time you got wise.
Charlie: Huh?
Jones: You take a tip from an old timer and find out about FEENAMINT
Charlie: Ah, Feenamint?
Jones: Yes, Feenamint. It's a chewing gum laxative and the taste is great.
Charlie: Well, I guess I can chew gum alright, but how “effective” is this Feenamint?
Jones: Ah, don't worry about that. Feenamint's thorough. And don't worry about upsetting your system, either. Here's what I learned from my pharmacist back home. When you chew something your body is assimilating it in a natural way - a laxative or anything else.
Charlie: Hmm, right, of course.
Jones: Ever since I heard that I've relied on Feenamint
I don't mind traveling on trains or by car or how irregular my meals are. I'm okay and it's all a result of Feenamint. Say, there's a drugstore right here in the hotel. Why don't you go get a package of Feenamint right now?
Charlie: Say, I'll do that and thanks for the good advice, Mr. Jones.
