Transcript

It isn't a pickle in the middle with the machete d'antav kiddies. Alan Show with Fred's guest Edward Everett Horton. Portland Hofer, Minerva Pius' Mrs. Nussbaum. Alan Reed has false staff open Shaw. The Demarcos sisters and Al Goodman and his orchestra.

And until I make a quick change and become Senator Claghorn, my name is Kenny Delmont. Well, here he is again, Fred Allen. Thank you. Watch the good word tonight, Portland.

Momma said the end of your program was cut off last week. I know, but like a snake, it wiggled until sundown. I must tell me, was your mother upset? No. Momma said with your program, you can cut it off any place.

Aww, still too long, huh? So let's get along down to Alan's house. What is your question for tonight? Well, Portland, recently the better business bureaus around the country held a conference to warn people with wartime savings against swindlers and racketeers.

And so our question is, have you ever been approached by a swindler? And if you have, have you ever lost any money? Shall we go? Well, as the man said after he finished inventing the first locomotive, I think I'll make tracks.

Everything is so peaceful and serene down here in Allen's alley, Portland. I guess the senator's home all right? It's snuff and dipping stick are there on the front porch. Hell, let's knock and see. Somebody, I'll say somebody now.

I know. Wag on to the name Senator Krak on that is. Say you were, you look groggy, Senator. I've been sick all night. I thought Riga Memphis was setting him. That's Riga Mortis. I'm from the southbound, it's Riga Memphis.
