Now let's come to honored folks, it's Town Hall Tonight! A full of smiles in Town Hall tonight, folks. 60 minutes of fun and music brought to you by Ivan Du'these and Sal Vipadica. Ivan up for the smile of beauty, Sal Vipadica for the smile of hell.
Fun with our star comedian, Fred Allen, music with Peter Van Steep. New songs, new labs, it's Town Hall Tonight! Well sir, another hour of entertainment is starting down the assembly line at the old Town Hall.
Here comes the chassis, Peter Van Stieten, and the orchestra bolts on the overture. It's called Wishing! On The Law- Wishing will make it so hard.
And now tonight, ladies and gentlemen, it is with great pleasure, it is with keen delight, yes it is with ill concealed happiness. Or I might say basking in an aura of joy, but I bring you for the last time this season.
Fréat! Harry, Harry, Harry, Harry. Harry, Harry, what is this? What is this? The last time. This isn't my last program. Are you here again next week, Fréat? Yes, next Wednesday's my last week. Oh, shucks.
And that is putting it mildly. Well, Fred, my whole opening is about this being your last program. Well, if you think I'm going to finish tonight, just to save you the trouble of changing a few lines.
Oh, it's all right. Well, I'll make up something. Now, ladies and gentlemen, for the next of the last time, I give you that next to the last comedian who is on his next to the last legs, Red Allen in person.
Thank you. Good evening. It's one to Mr. Rockefeller. Wouldn't get these things fixed. Thank you and for the next of the last time. Thank you and good evening, ladies and gentlemen. And now for our next of the last turn, the next of the last news of the week.
