And now a little Shirley Temple story. When Shirley came to the theater to leave her footprints she asked me if I'd mind if she took off her shoes and socks. I told her that we couldn't do that because she'd get her feet all full of concrete.

Quote context

[...]

- Before the prologue and picture was shown, a young singer asked me for a job.

- After hearing him, I said, 'You're on, but the price is only ten dollars for the concert.'

- He said he needed the work and if I'd give him six concerts in a row that ten dollars would be all right. I did. His name: Lawrence Tibbett.

- To this day one of my best friends is Charlie Chaplin. Before he ever appeared on the screen Charlie worked for me on the stage in San Francisco and I gave him a letter of introduction that brought him to the screen.

- I claim no credit for this. It just happened.

- And now a little Shirley Temple story. When Shirley came to the theater to leave her footprints she asked me if I'd mind if she took off her shoes and socks. I told her that we couldn't do that because she'd get her feet all full of concrete.

- As usual she had an answer ready: 'We can get some warm water and a towel and I'll wash them very carefully.'

- 'But why,' I asked, 'do you want to make your footprints in bare feet?' -'I just want to be different.'

- Well, if I don't stop now, there's no telling when I will.

- Good luck to you and to this splendid radio theater, which has come to be as much a part of Hollywood as the excellent commodity it represents, Lux Toilet Soap. Thank you.
