Transcript

This is Bill Goodwin, inviting all you service men and women to enjoy another pleasant visit with George Burns and Gracie Allen, our tenor Jimmy Cash and Felix Mills in his orchestra. And now meet the people who live in the Burns House, George and Gracie.

Well, the Burns has just arrived in Boston to entertain at the United War for Un-Rally tomorrow night, and we find them now in their hotel room. Well, you know, George, there's one thing about that Valley tomorrow night that puzzles me.

Boston, Boston, you're committing musical suicide. Right, George, you've got mom music in your little finger, then Rooney Valley has in his entire nose. Well, I am in good voice tonight. I know for certain you're the one.
