Transcript

I can't think of anything tonight, kitty. To make us a flute on it, Marjorie and I tend to leave tea presents the Fred Allen Show with Fred's guest, Orson Welles. Portland Hopper, Minerva Fierz, Mrs. Nisbaum, Allen Reed, as Balz dev Openshaw.

Parker Fennley, as Titus Moody, the Demarcal Sisters, and Al Goodman and his Doctor Sure. And until I show up as Senator Claghorn, my name is Kenny Dalmar. This week, ladies and gentlemen, a new book, The Weight of Vocabulary Power and Culture was published.

We bring you now the new literary lion whose name appears twice in this work. He spread out. Thank you. I'm laughing already at last week's show. Thank you. Thank you and good evening and good evening ladies and gentlemen.

Kenny, I'm really happy that you mentioned Dr. Funk's new tone, The Weight of Vocabulary Power and Culture. You know, I am now a part-time intellectual. If you ever pass Brentano's look up, I may be in the window.

Well, have you noticed any difference since your name was mentioned in Dr. Fung's book? Well, yes, Kenny, I'm the talk of the literary set in subdued voices for the nonce. On Fifth Avenue, yes, to the Elsa Maxwell, blew me a kid.

Elsa blew you a kid? Yes, she was a little short-winded, it fell in the gutter, but I'm not. You know, you should expand your vocabulary, Kenny. Get hept to words like, perculated. Perculated, what does it mean?

Well, thanks to Dr. Funk. I am now in a position to tell you, Kenny. Perculated means adorned with mosaic. Oh, what does mosaic mean, Kenny? Don't press your luck. I'm only up to page 12 myself.
