And now, here we go, friends, to Duffy's Tavern. With Arthur Treacher, Bird Gordon is the Mad Russian, Hazel Sherman is Miss Duffy, our guest, Arty Shaw, and starring Archie himself, Ed Gardner. Hello, Duffy's Tavern. Where do you leave me, Pete?

Archie, the man just bacon Duffy ain't here. Oh, look, Duffy, guess what? I finally cut the guy that's been stealing our meatballs. Here, he's been putting numbers on him and selling them to pool ballers.

By the way, Duffy, I'm expecting you at the block party tomorrow night. Oh, don't worry. This year I guarantee you won't have no trouble getting Mrs. Duffy in. No? No, they widened the street. Well, it's going to be very social, Duffy.

Everybody who is anybody on third-ev, and you'll be there. Cavendish, the undertaker, and Lady Cavendish, unless he digs up another date. And it's Pharaoh Faruk, the wealthy Egyptian novelist designer. No-nose Cortez, the successful goat's milk taster.

No fingers known in the unsuccessful butcher. Let me see. So yes, one night gold farm and his daughter's cyclops. And of course, as usual, Herbie the Midget and his two little sisters, Blar and Invisible.

Okay, I'll see you at the party. Oh, preacher, did you make a list of the things we're going to need for the black party? Yes, I'm working on the list right now. Let me see.
