Another cup of Maxwell House Coffee George. Sure. Pour me a cup, Gracy. You know Maxwell House is always good to the last. Oh, drop. And that drops good, too. Yes, it's Maxwell House Coffee Time, transcribed in Hollywood and starring George Burns and Gracie Allen.
Would yours truly Toby Reed be Benadira? There'll be Almond, Gail Gordon, Lou Merrill, Harry Lubin and the Maxwell House Orchestra, and Bill Goodlin. For America's Thursday night comedy enjoyment, it's George and Gracie. And for America's everyday coffee drinking enjoyment, it's Maxwell's house.
Always good to the last drop. Shortly after breakfast this morning, Gracie disappeared into the kitchen. After more than an hour had passed, George went in and found her almost completely buried in a shambles of pots and pans.
Gracie, what in the world are you making? Some home they'd taste you for the girls. Lance Morton and Clara Bagley are coming over for our weekly card game. There were four of you what happened to Hazel Hopkins? Oh, she's still in the group But each week one of the girls stay home. Why is that? Well, it gives the other three more to talk about
Well, that's a nice friendly arrangement Why are you going to so much trouble? Well the last time I served a homemade cake the girls accused me of buying it from a bakery But you didn't know a border from a grocery store It was mean of them to doubt you well the girls like the TV because they're all so good at baking
They even have things ended up now at the county fair. But when they get here today, they're in for a surprise. Something really fancy will come out of this kitchen, eh? Yeah, but it won't come out until I bake the cake.
