Comments:

Cary Grant’s celebrity endorsement speaks to the throat soothing aspects of a light Lucky Strike cigarette. The text explains that the voices of singers and actors “are their fortunes,” meaning that if celebrities like Cary Grant trust their throats to Lucky Strikes cigarettes, then the reader certainly should as well. The advertisement also serves as publicity for Cary Grant, alerting readers of his new movie, “When You’re in Love.”
