Hello, are you there? Well we're here at Camp Elliott with Marines. Yeah. Wander sof that you're in general. Come on, come on, swing this one. Labor brothers, the makers of Swan, the new white clothing soap, presents the Burns & Allen show, with Paul Whiteman.
Jimmy Cat, yours truly is Bill Goodwin, the six hits to the midst, and George Burns is Gracie Allen. Well now let's look in and see what's doing at the burned home. Mercy.
In the living room there. Gracie, what happened? I looked in the drawer and I haven't got a single clean shirt. Oh darling, I forgot to tell you. I'll longer quit. Oh, she wasn't a very good longer anyway. Remember how she used to cut the tails off your shirts to make her work easier?
Yes, it's just as well. She's gone. Well, she's got a job over consolidated now making airplanes. Oh, that reminds me. I better call consolidated and warn them. What? Aeroplanes have pale shoes. Well, Gracie, don't bother. Do you think that you could wash out a shirt for me?
Oh, well, I was glad to judge, but I'm expecting two of the girls for my club any minute. Oh, the Beverly Hills Uplift Society? Yeah. Uh, what are those hens going to tackle about today?
Well, George, that's no way to talk about your wife and your wife's friends. Oh, I didn't mean you, dear. Well, it's no way to talk about those other hensies. Uh, believe me honey, washing a few shirts wouldn't hurt any of those names.
But George, we work hard. We have to in times like these. We even do jobs for each other if they're the same amount of work. Well uh, what do you mean? Well for instance, Ruby clums tags and Clara badly have a deal.
