Duffy Wants to Sell the Tavern

And now it's time for Duffy's Tapping. Yes, here's Archie the Manager, Miss Duffy, Finnegan, Eddie, and all the gang transcribed, and they've planned a half hour of Mirth and Music. Now while Archie is pumping up the old player piano, let me take just a moment to tell you about some of the other fine shows you can hear tonight and tomorrow on NBC.

First off tonight there's Screen actor Walter Brennan as Grandpa Vanderhof, the leader of the Vanderhof household. Then join Frank Lovejoy as he brings you Nightbeat. Nightbeat is a story of reporter Randy Stone, a reporter with an act for finding both a front page story and lots of high adventure.

Yes, there's action in every story on Nightbeat. Then tomorrow, it's comedy with Marty Wollley as he comes to the NBC microphone as the one the only magnificent Montague. Later Saturday evening, enjoy Grand Ole Opry with your singing host Red Foley and All The Gang as they bring you country humor and western music.

This evening here, you can take it with you, featuring Screen actor Walter Brennan and the heartwarming Vanderhoel family. Then there's a denture with Frank Lovejoy on Nightbeat. Saturday the magnificent Montague and Grand Ole Opry. You then always have the very best in radio entertainment by merely tuning to this your NBC station.

Hello Duffy's Tavenwood Elite, meet Pete Archie the man you're speaking. Duffy ain't here. Oh, well Duffy, how's business? No. It's a Latin word. N-I-L means naturally it's lousy.

That confirms what? You're gonna sell a tavern. But Duffy, you can't. This place is an institution. Yeah, landmark. For years, people have said to make me in front of Duffy's tavern and we'll go someplace for dinner.
