| Description: | And now an important message; Audrey Hepburn speaks: "Hello. I am Audrey Hepburn. 'Ondine' is a very beautiful love story which Mel Ferrer and I appear together. Mel plays the Knight errant and I play a water sprite. A very gay part. Right now we would like to be serious for just a moment and talk to you about the American Cancer Society and its crusade." Mel: "I certainly have the costume for a crusader, haven’t I? Well this is a modern crusade and under the symbol the sword of hope were accomplishing wonders. Did you know that last year that more Americans who had cancer were saved than ever before?" Audrey: "Isn't it wonderful? But may we give you three facts? The first fact, you know that cancer kills more children between three and fifteen than any other disease?" Mel: "Second fact, the solution to cancer in children lies in research in laboratories." Audrey: "Third fact. Last year the American Cancer Society was able to provide only two thirds of the money needed for research by the scientists." Mel: "That's why were asking you to give and give generously to the American Cancer Society. It's really very simple (Audrey Hepburn holds up an address on a card) Just mail your gift in an envelope addressed like this, CANCER c/o your local post office." Audrey: "Now is the time to strike back at cancer - Please won't you give now?" This subject has been presented by this theater as a public service. | |
