It's Duffy's Tavern, the Friday Night Transcribe feature on NBC's All-Star Festival of Comedy, Music, Mystery and Drama, brought to you by RCA Victor, world leader in radio, first in recorded music, first in television, by Chesterfield, the cigarette that has for you mildness with no unpleasant aftertaste, the cigarette that brings you Bing Crosby and

Bob Hope, and by the makers of Aniston, for fast relief from pain of headache, New rhitis, New realms. And now here we go, friends, to Duffy's Tavern, with Slapsey Maxi Rosenblum, Arthur Treacher, Bert Gordon as the Mad Russian, Hazel Sherman as Miss Duffy, and starring Archie himself, Ed Gardner.

Hello, Duffy's Tavern, where the elite meat deed Archie the Man just speakin' Duffy ain't here. Hello, Duffy. Well, what's doing? Nothing much. We had a visit from the building inspector. I guess he likes a laugh as well as the next guy.

And I'm afraid he might give the tavern a bad report, Duffy. Yeah, he says if the timeites ever stop holding hands, the whole place will collapse. Also, made a wise crack about the way our floor slants.

He's got a lot of good qualities. For instance, he's got a great knack for saving our hash without that guilty expression on his face. Huh? Well, I think he got an offer from Grogans across the street, but I'm gonna try to talk him out of it.
