Transcript

Another cup of Maxwell House Coffee George. Well sure, pour me a cup, Gracie. Maxwell House is always good to the last drop. And that one's good too. Yes, Thursday night. And Thursday night means it's Maxwell House Coffee Time, starring George Burns and Gracie Allen.

With yours truly Bill Goodwin, the girls of the Beverly Hills Uplift Society, our special guest, Vice President of NBC, Mr. Sidney Strotes, and the music of Meredith Wilson and his orchestra. For your Thursday night enjoyment, it's George and Gracie.

And for your everyday coffee drinking enjoyment, it's Maxwell House. With extra flavor in the blend, because of choice Latin American coffees, skillfully combined. Extra flavor in the cup, because radiant roast develops the full flavor of every coffee feed.

The result is that today more people buy Maxwell House than any other brand of coffee in the world. As we look in at the Burns home today, we find a meeting of Gracie's Club, that bane of George's existence, the Beverly Hills Uplift Society.

Ladies of the Beverly Hills Uplift Society, our meeting will open with a calling of the role. Clara Badley, Francis Fowler, Blanche Moughton, Meredith Wilson, Present. We can win it. This is a ladies club. How did he get in?

Oh, that's right, Francis. You weren't here when Meredith joined. We made him an honorary woman. That's right, Ms. Fowler. And you've been a credit to our sex meridism. Thank you, Percy. Although I wish you hadn't given my name to the main company, I've been getting some rather puzzling advertisements from the lingerie department.

Oh, let's get out into business. We're here to discuss our new play. Oh, yes. Girls, we have a wonderful play to start our summer drama season. It's the story of an Irish girl who falls in love with Raoul a handsome French Rouay.
