This is your Hollywood radio reporter, coming to you from the little theatre in the Metro Goldwyn Mayer Studios.
One of these days someone will write a history of motion pictures It's going to be an exciting story of dreams and ambitions, of hard work and faith, of disappointments and overnight triumphs It will be a story of unusual people... And away up top and important, you will read about a young lady who is here now You will meet her in a moment But first I want to tell you something about her
