Gracie Wants a Job for Christmas Money

Another cup of Maxwell House Coffee George? Sure. Pour me a cup, Gracie. You know, Maxwell House is always good to the last... ...drop. And that drops good too. Yes, it's Maxwell House Coffee Time, starring George Burns and Gracie Allens.

With yours truly Bill Goodwin, the music of Meredith Wilson and his orchestra, Walter Tettley, and our happy postman, Mel Blank. For your Thursday night comedy enjoyment is George and Gracie. And for your everyday coffee drinking enjoyment, it's Maxwell House.

The coffee that gives you so much more, for so little more, that it's bought and enjoyed by more people than any other brand of coffee in the world. Yes, Maxwell House. Expertly blended and radiant roasted for rich mellow, extra flavor.

Maxwell House, the coffee that's always good to the last drop. As we look in at the Burns home today, we find Gracie on the telephone talking with her friend, Blanche Morton. I'd love to go Christmas shopping with your Blanche, but I've already spent the allowance George gave me.

Bring him his pipe and slippers. Well, I've never tried that pipe and slipper routine on George. Maybe it'll... Uh-oh, here he comes down to breakfast. I'll try and call you later. Goodbye. Good morning, Gracie.

Mm-hmm. Breakfast ready? Oh, ready, darling. Sit down and let me take off your shoes. I just put my shoes on. Don't argue, dear. I want to wait on you. Bring in your slippers. Gracie, let go of my feet.
