The National Broadcasting Company and its facilitated stations

humbly asked admission to your home.

In this hour of national style,

from Hollywood, come the famous personalities of radio and motion pictures,

uniting to pay tribute to Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

This is Ronald Coleman.

It's afternoon, but it's white snow on the mountains

to view Hollywood from the distance.

The sun shines brightly, the sky is blue,

and the air is warm with spring.

It might be any day in California,

for nature neither knows nor cares

about the trials and tribulations of man

whom she both fights and serves.

She looks upon life and death as one,

for she has long fashioned diverse from the same material.

And just as the one is interchangeable with the other,

so in nature's book is each indescribable.

Life is eternal, death is eternal.

Today in Hollywood,

we will at the entertainment profession unite

to pay tribute to one who's just as the nature's work
