Transcript

This is Bill Goodwin speaking for Leave A Brother's Makers of Swan, the new white floating soap that's pure and finest cast to you. Well, it's Tuesday night again, time for another pleasant visit with Jimmy Cash, Paul Whiteman and his music, and George and Gracie. Here they are.

Well, while George is reading his morning paper in the front room, we find Gracie in the library. She's engaged in writing a letter when the library door opens and a man enters. He is tall, good looking, and obviously very intelligent despite his youth.

Hi Gracie. Come in. Well, I won't bother you Gracie. I see you're writing a letter. Oh, I'll be through it in a minute. Listen, how does it sound? I'm mad about you, sweetheart. I can't live without you.

I must have you for my own. Did I get over the ideas that I like them? I like them. For gonna say, it's who you're writing that to. Big Jake. Big Jake. Big Jake, who?

I don't know. I never met him. Well, then Gracie, how do you know you can't live without him? It says so when this letter I'm writing. I'm beginning to see why George always looks like he was just slucked by a commando.

Oh, it says so. Hello, Bill. Hello, Tootsie. A Gracie. Does Big Jake write? Is there a letter for my sweetheart? Your sweetheart, I thought he was Gracie. Oh, Bill. How could you think such a thing? Big Jake has got an ARRY Tootsie.

Well, then how come Gracie was writing to her? It's like this. You see, I joined this lonely hearts club. Oh, a lonely heart's club. Yes, and they told her about a man in the area who was crazy to get married.
