This is Let's Talk to Lucy starring Lucille Ball.

A very warm welcome to you all.

I'm Gary Morton, and now let's talk to Lucy.

Hi, this is Lucy.

I'm in San Francisco for a couple of days with my little family, Gary, Lucy, and Desi. You know, there's something exhilarating about visiting the many cities in our land.

Each one has its own particular atmosphere, a certain feeling that you get that is totally different from another.

Jean Fowler once said, every man should be allowed to love two cities, his own and San Francisco.

And millions do.

It's a bright, brisk, bustling city.

And I love it.

And I love the view from our suite, high up in the Fairmont Hotel.

I can see the beautiful shimmering bay, all the bridges and dozens of sailboats

gliding in and out, Chinatown below. But here I am telling you about San Francisco when my guest

today is a man who knows and loves this enchanting city so well that he has been called Mr. San Francisco.

I refer, of course, to Barnaby Conrad, who has captured the charm and history of San Francisco

in a book that has been called a flagrant, unabashed Valentine in words and pictures.

The title is simply San Francisco, and in it Mr. Conrad writes of the past,

the gold rush days, earthquake and fire, the vigilantes and the colorful personalities of early San

Francisco. He also tells of the present, the fog, the bridges, the ships and the boats, the hills,

architecture, fishermen's wharf Chinatown the nightlife

cable cars and the people of today however San Francisco is not mr. Conrad's only interest

he is author sculptor musician and top American authority on bullfighting his novel
