Guest - Alan Ladd

Ladies and gentlemen, this is Gracie. I just want to remind you that in order to keep up the great work it's doing, the Red Cross must raise $200 million. They are depending on us to give it to them.

You know it's the Red Cross that furnishes life-saving blood plasma to our wounded boys, and that's just one of the many wonderful things they do. So please, let's all dig down and give every penny we can to the Red Cross.

This fell good when speaking for Lever Brothers, makers of Swan, The new white floating soap that's pure as fine cast deals. Well, it's Tuesday night again, time for another pleasant visit with George Burns and Gracie Allen, our guest, Allen Ladd, with Jimmy Cash, the swan Ted, and Felix Mills and his orchestra.

And now meet the people who live in the Burns house. George and Gracie! Well, it seems there's a little stagged poker game brewing for tonight, and George is just dying to play. But he's afraid Gracie won't approve, so get a load of the subtle line he's handing the little woman.

Gee honey, I've never seen you look as beautiful as you do today. Well, thank you, dear. You're... you're much too beautiful for the clothes you wear. Why don't you go out and buy yourself some new clothes?

George, do you feel alright? Fine. But I'm worried about you, dear. You've been seeing too much of me. Why don't you go out with the girls tonight and see a movie or something? A movie?

Yeah. Enjoy yourself. And if you're wondering whether I'll be lonesome, the answer is no. That's also the answer to can you play polka tonight? How did you know I wanted to play polka? Well, I suspected of doing breakfast.
