Another couple of Maxwell House Coffee George. Sure, call me a cup, Gratian. You know Maxwell House is always good to the last... ...drop. That draft's good too. Yes, it's Maxwell House Coffee Time, starting George Burns and Grace Yellow.

Our special guest, Marlena Dietrich. Yours Julie Toby Reed, B. Benadereb, Harry Luebhen of the Maxwell House Orchestra, and Bill Goodlin. For America's Thursday night comedy and enjoyment, it's George and Gracie. And for Americans every day, coffee drinking enjoyment, it's Maxwell House.
