Transcript

Another couple Maxwell House Coffee George. Sure. For me a cup Gracing. You know Maxwell House is always good to the last. Drop. That drop's good too. Yes it's Maxwell House Coffee Time. Sorry George Burns and Gracie Allard.

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

The coffee that's always good to the last drop. Last Thursday, George and Gracie celebrated their 15th anniversary in radio, and all week messages of congratulation have poured in. Gracie is now busy pasting them in her scrapbook.

This telegram from Jack Benny was short, but sweet. Just three words. Jack. What was the Fed word? Good old Jack. So thoughtful. Oh, this true friend. Yes. This one is one of my favorites. This wishes on your anniversary. When I listen to Burns and Allen, I feel very proud of my family name. Science Fred Allen. I

like that too. Yeah. But this one puzzles me, George. It just says, I don't feel so Good. Signed. Bob Burns. I'm confused too. I wonder what he means. Did you know I got a telegram from my parking?

My parking. Now read it. So you've been on the air 15 years with George Burns. And I thought I suffered more than anybody in radio. I don't get somebody sent that for a day. We received congratulations for just from just about everybody.

Yeah, everybody but I'll Jolson. I thought I'd hear from Al after singing that duet with him last week. One April's show, you make all your day. Well, I forgot to take it. They bring the flowers.
