Guest - Harpo Marx

Never cup of Maxwell House coffee, George. Sure, pour me a cup, Gracie. Maxwell House is always good to the last drop. And that's good too. Yes, it's Maxwell House coffee time, starring George Burns and Gracie Allen.

With yours truly Bill Goodwin, our postman Mel Blank and the music of Meredith Wilson who's orchestra. And as our special guest tonight, Harpo Marks. 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 coffee, skillfully combined. Extra flavor in the cup, because radiant roast develops the full flavor of every coffee beat. And the result is that today more people buy Maxwell House than any other brand of coffee in the world.

Well, this morning, we find the burns in their living room, where Gracie has just finished writing one of her daily newspaper columns. There. All done. And one of the best columns I've ever written. What's today's column about?

All about my wonderful idea to solve inflation. What's your idea? Well, why not establish a board to control prices and not let them get too high? We have a board like that. It's called OPA.

I mean, someone stole my idea before I ran out. Yes, I got around, yes. Yes, I stole it. Oh, darn. What did you say the board was called? O.P.A. How do you spell it? O.P.A.

are initials. They stand for office of price administration. My goodness. How did you find out all this stuff? There's a leak in Washington. Oh, what? No, Max Gordon. Darn. I'll put this all in my column.
