King for a Day

It isn't one of the old hickory singers, kitty. The makers of Bluebonne and Bondroom and Tenderleaf T present the Fred Allen show. With Fred's guests, Mary Livingston, husband, and husband, Portland Harper, Minerva Pius, Mrs. Nussbar, Allen Reed, his false staff, over here, Parker Family and Titus Moody, the DeMarco sisters, and Al Goodman and his orchestra.

And until I start tuning to Claghorn, my name is Kenny Delmar. Ladies and gentlemen, Shakespeare said, to be or not to be. Benjamin Franklin said, remember, time is money. But for the last eight months, all I've said is, here he is again, Fred Allen.

Thank you and good evening. Thank you and good evening, ladies and gentlemen. And Kenny, I happen to overhear your opening remarks. Lad, if you are unhappy in your work. Well, how can I be happy, Fred?

Every Sunday, what do I do? I have one line. Here he is again. Kenny, the man who invented the telephone, only had one line when he started. Yeah, but Fred, I'm not getting any place in radio. It's the same on my other show.

Oh, you're on another lucky strike program. Oh, the lucky strike program. What do you do on that? You know when the man says LSMFT? Yeah. Then the tobacco auctioneer says, Yacht the Yacht the Soul of American.

Uh-huh. Then a boy says, You bet. You bet. No, the boy says, Yes, sir. Yes, sir. The boy says, Yes, sir. It's mine. I'm beating down on that show too, huh? Kenny, why don't you give up that other job and just work on our show?

You mean you'll pay me the extra money? No, Kenny, but I tell you what I shall do. I'll let you add the line you have on the Lucky Strike program to the line you have on our show.
