This is Bill Goodwin speaking for Lever Brothers, makers of Swan, the new white clothing show. Well, it's Tuesday night again, time for another pleasant visit with George Burns and Gracie Allen, their guests, Herbert Marshall, Jimmy Cash and Paul Whiteman and his music.

And now meet the people who live in the Burns House, George and Gracie. Today, Gracie has a lunch-and-date with her girlfriend, Tootsie Saguel. Well, we find them now at the Romany Village Gypsy Tea Room.

Special lunch in 45 cents. Tea leaves red. Isn't this place simply marvelous, Tootsie? So quaint, so gypsyish and yay. And I just love this gypsy food. Isn't it delicious? Oh, wonderful. I never tasted such conby-pass.

Oh, wonderful. How much is the tea? Three dollars a cup, Madame. My goodness, we're lucky gypsy don't read coffee grounds. Here is the tea, Madame. Now then, I shall start with the fortune of the young lady.

Ee-ee! Perhaps I should start with the pretty one. Oh, well, I would have laughed anyway. Oh, well, come on, Mr. Swami, tell my fortune. Very well, madam. I see a man in your life. No, wait. It is not a man.
