Transcript

with Fred Allen folks, 3,600 seconds of fun and music. Fun with our star comedian Fred Allen. Lottie-Dah with our guest star, Bert Lauer, that cowardly fugitive from the Wizard of Oz. Music with Peter van Steeden, with that all-American swing quartet, the Mary Max.

And with the sensational singing star of the boys from Syracuse, Win Murray. The time has come, it's the Fred Allen Show. Now ladies and gentlemen, any similarity between the next voice you will hear and any living voice is purely coincidental and a figment of the acoustic.

The unfortunate owner of this nasal impediment is spread Alan in person. Thank you and good evening ladies and gentlemen. Once again we assemble with good intentions. Never mind the good intentions, Fred. How are your jokes?

Well, I'm glad you brought that up, Harry. You know, radio is the one industry where the law of averages doesn't function. In radio, it always seems that the comedian's intentions and his jokes are direct offices.

And you're here with good intentions tonight, Fred. The best, Harry. Well, I'll be back later, Fred. Now, no, wait a minute. You're going to stay right here with me and swell, then. Here, sure. Houghton here tonight is new.

Hey Pete, yeah. When the band plays the next number, tell the trombones to blow over this way, will you? What for? To get a little relief from this hot air around here. Why don't you stop talking?

Now, if you're trying to get me hot under the column, Mr. Van Steeden, the humidity has beaten you to it. Look, I show you in here. See, I've never seen heat like this in October, Harry.
