Life with Luigi: Audition (The Little Immigrant)

Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, just about a year ago, a young fellow here at Columbia created a brand new radio show that met with very popular claim with all you listeners. Perhaps you've heard of my friend Irma.

Yes. Well now this young man has created a brand new show. Fully we think as good as Irma and we think you'll enjoy meeting the man himself. Ladies and gentlemen, Sigh Howard, our producer. Thank you, about a year ago, same building, same stage.

We brought you my friend, Nirmen. That was the little blonde girl. And now we're bringing you a new character, and this is Luigi Bosco. And this is a little Italian immigrant who came over from Italy, and he settled in Chicago.

Now, Luigi Bosco is like every other person, except he doesn't understand English too well, and he doesn't embrace American customs. He crushes them. He's the type of man and when he walks in a park and he sees a policeman, he says, I think I'll pick a flower and give it to the nice policeman.

Well, you know what happens to him. This is Luigi Bosco who comes over to this country. You can laugh at him because you'd be just as funny as if you were in Italy. A Luigi Bosco happens to be Italian.

It could be anybody. It could be an Irishman. It could be a Dutchman. It could be a Jew. It could be a Pole. But this is a little fellow Italian. a warm little wonderful Italian who was brought over here.

Now he was brought over here by a man called Pascuali, who paid his passage because Pascuali happens to have a daughter he cannot get rid of. Everybody on the block knows Rose, well you'll see that, it happens.

So he figures if he gets little Luigi over here, boom he's got a marriage. So he sets up little Luigi in business and little Luigi runs an antique shop. And this is his adventure. He writes to his mother in Italy explaining all these wonderful things about America.

You know we take everything in America so much for granted. We walk in, cops don't bother us. If they do, you try to get a ticket fixed and all that sort of thing. But Luigi is different.

This is a very inquisitive man. He asks an awful lot of questions. We want you to meet Luigi Bosco, a little immigrant, and it's really a historic occasion because you are the first people. It's the greatest collection of guinea pigs I've ever seen.

But you're all nice guinea pigs, we're going to try it on you because after all you build radio shows for people. And you're all nice people and if you like it, then the other people will like it because you're all pretty much of a cross-section of America.

And so you can laugh at them, have a good time, it's a comedy show, he don't mind, he'll go ahead and talk and his broken little Italian just the same as ever. Now in the cast he has a school teacher and who teaches him, and this is Miss Spalding, She is played by Mary Jane Croft, a wonderful actress Mary Jane.

Now Luigi Basko is broke, but he figured he needed a general manager. He's the type of man and he got a general manager. He got an 11-year-old kid who handles all his bookkeeping for him.

Luigi Basko's general manager is played by Bobby Ellis. You've seen him with Jack Carson and April showers and a wonderful little actor Bobby Ellis. Now for Squally. That's the man who runs Pascuali Spaghetti House in Chicago.

He is played by a man who you've known as Fall Staff and the Fred Allen Show. He's played so many various wonderful parts, a very great comic. Alan Reed, our Pascuali. Now for Luigi Bosco, the little immigrant.

We finally got a man. A minute you see him and I announce his name, you must know that he would personify the First, little Italian, the only little Italian immigrant would come over to America and have this tremendous love of America.

Wonderful sensitive, wonderful warm, lovable person. You've seen him in a medal for Benny. Mr. J. Carol Nash. We want you to have a good time, laugh, and you all tell us if you like our show, The Little Immigrant.

And the son of Joe Besso As every American school child knows On October 12, 1492, an Italian explorer Christopher Columbus discovered America On September 27, 1947, a young Italian immigrant Louis Gebasco rediscovered America Christopher Columbus arrived with three vessels Louis Gebasco arrived with three dollars LAUGHTER

When Christopher Columbus landed in America He said, I named the senseauvador. When Luigi Basko landed in New York, he said, please, give me a ticket for Chicago. And so from Chicago's Little Italy, the Columbia Broadcasting System brings you a new comedy, The Little Immigrant, created by Sighowered, and starring J. Carol Nash.

CHEERING Christopher Columbus described his adventures through Queen of the Bell and Spain. From Chicago, Luigi Basko describes his adventures to his mother in Italy. Dear, I'm Ama Mia. I make a promise to write to you, so I write.

In the United States, when a fellow keep a promise to write, is called promise or a note. In six months, since I've been in America, my writing has already so good words that don't even have Italian accent.

I have a story here in Chicago, just like two other business men, Marshall and the Field. They got same kind of store only, but a location. Mama mia, how you like my new business is stationary.

See, on top it's a Louis Gebasco, founder and a prop. A prop is short for a long way, I don't know. Also, my line of business, old and new antiques. Everybody here are crazy for all things.

All the furniture, all the lamps, all the chairs. Also, is a lot of people are crazy about all the grandad. Must to be a fine man. Our country, Manapa Squally, who bring me to this country and a rent to me store, has a nice place, a next store. It's called the Pasquale Spaghetti Palace. Sometimes at night, when a breeze from like Michigan is just right,

Then the smell from a Pasquale's palace is reminding me of a home, and I'm a much shalonesome for you. But in the morning when I wake up, I'm so pleasant to be in America. And like Uncle Pietro always say, is no rose without a little atone.

And in this case, he's a very big atone. Because now I found out why a Pasquale is bringing me here. He's always the one thing I should marry his daughter, Rosa. You remember when Rosa was a nice little girl?

Mommy, you're something as I happened. How can I describe her? You know the bull uncle Pietro has? Well, I go in the pasture, look at a bull, take off a horns, that's Rosa. Pasquale he argued with me.

He said, Rose is the one to find a girl. I said, Rose is the two find a girl. But out the side, Rose, America is a great country. And my business is fine. I'm making a money hand over a foot.

I'm so rich that I have to get a general manager. So I hired me a little 12-year-old Bambino, Jimmy O'Connor, who said to me this morning. Boss, one more week like this and we start.

What's the matter, Jimmy? Business is no good? Mr. LaWiege, you hear the books in front of you? Let's face it. But that's fine. Then why are you upset, Jimmy? We were in the hall. What's fine about it?

In America, when the things are good, then you and the groove, huh? Yeah. Whole is bigger than the Grover, so everything is fine. But boss, business is terrible. Take a look at the books. That tells the story.

Okay. Here is the one page you're money going on. Yep. Here's another page of money coming in. But there's nothing on that page. That's the trouble, Jimmy. Money coming in and money going out. If only she could stand still so we could grab her.

No. No. How much do we got in a cash box? Two dollars and eighty-seven cents. How much I owe Pasquale for the rent? Forty dollars. It's an outcome uneven. Oh, dear. It's too bad for Pasquale.

No. It's too bad for you. Because if you don't pay in the rent, he's got to write the kick you out. Not in America. This is a free country. It's a free speech. It's a free press.

Well, not free rent. You gotta pay him. Ah, Jimmy. I work so hard for this place. I have all of my beautiful statues. What I do, what I do. I've got a suggestion, but I don't think you'll like it.

Anything, Jimmy. You a smart American boy. Anything. I'm a drowning. I'm a clutching at straws. I'm a drowning. Okay, Barry Rosen. Okay, I drown. Yeah! He's about fiscal Luigi after all. This man the man.

A fella's gotta get married sometime. If Rosie is the last woman on the face of the yurt that then I'd rather marry the face of the yurt. Okay, Mr. Luigi. I've got another suggestion. Anything, Jimmy. I'm drowning. I'm clutching at straws.

I'm drowning. Okay, so what are your statues? I'm gonna down again, Jimmy. You don't wanna sell anything. As soon as somebody comes in the by, something you discourage him. I don't discourage. I only say not the for sale.

We could have sold that one a general grant. I never sell a president of a United States. You won't even sell Robert E. Lee. He's a nice man, a Mr. Lee. Poor fella picker on this side, so why I sell him.

I excused him. You got 18, Abraham Lincoln's. 19? I buy another one yesterday. I know how we can clear up all our debts and pay the rent. How? Just sell one statue. George Washington. George Washington?

Found her in the prep of our country, I never sell him. You don't sell something, Mr. Luigi. Never sell a Washington. Then at least put him in the window. It'll attract customers. Okay, Jimmy. Make you feel better.

I put Washington in the window. But I don't sell. I don't sell. I don't sell. I don't sell. I don't sell. I don't sell. But I don't sell. Okay, George, up you're going to window.

Don't worry, George, I put you way in the back. They never see you. Jimmy, you were just coming from school. You must be hungry. You'll go back in the kitchen, eat a little lunch, huh?

Okay, boss. He's a good boy, Mr. Washington. Only he don't understand us. Don't worry, I don't sell you. When Jimmy go back to school, I take you out of window. I put in college. Pardon me, is that for sale?

I say, is that for sale? Which one of us do you want to buy? That statue, the one in the window. Supposed to you one of my windows, are you for sale? I'm interested in buying that statue of George Washington.

George Washington across the Delaware, but the Luigi's a window? Never. That's too bad. You see, I'm looking for items that we can sell this afternoon. The Americana Society is having a charity auction. It's an Ousulaity.

I never sell a George Washington. Okay, Mr. Luigi. Oh, so you got a customer. That's good. Let it on buy anything. Good-bye, lady. But I did want to. Never mind that. Good-bye, lady. Hey, what's going on here?

Well, I'm just trying to buy that statue of George Washington. Great. Shut up, Jimmy. Go back and have dessert. I'll give you a hundred dollars for it. So... You fired the Jimmy. I quit. Oh, no, you don't. I quit.

You can't quit. I'm at the boss. I do anything I like. I quit. I quit. And the unifier. That's all. you by lady. But you promised me it's sell this statue if you had a customer.

That's right Jimmy. I promised. Look, lady. I come to this country with only two things. This statue of Washington and Bandana. I sell you Bandana. I understand, but you see, the auction is only interested in historical items.

Oh, I got plenty. Here's Admiral Dewey, fighting at the Manila. No thanks. And here's the governor, the wheel running at Oregon. Hardly, how about the three nice, surrounded vice of presidents? Please, it's Washington I want.

But I cannot settle the father of our country. I have a heart, Mr. Luigi. We don't have a start. Tomorrow all your statues will be out in the street. Well, all right. I'm a stuck.

I'm a stuck. Either way, you'll break my heart. I take George Washington in the back. I wrap him up with my own hands. Lady, I gotta suggest you. Yes? Maybe you take two general avocados.

No! Free! Please. Well, George, I gotta sell you. What I do? If I don't sell, I don't pay the rent, I get it pushed out. Well, that's all right, maybe. But then I got a marirosa.

If you ever see her, George, you don't blame me. Please, George, don't look at me like that. This auction lady nice, she finds a better place for you. Always. Since I'm a little boy, I know about you.

You're fine, man. You're rich, man. You have a big farm, but when a poor people say, Hello, George, we need a general. You say, okay. You give a plantation June 1775. Now I give you up. Can't be helped.

Lots of things we do in a war time. Right now is the Luigi Bosco's award. Come on Georgie. Say goodbye. Like you say goodbye in farewell address September 1796. It's very sad for me too, Georgie.

Shake your hands and Mr. President, the washington. I wrap you up warm so you don't freeze like in a valley forch. Winter, 1777? I'll have it each, you accept the washington. Here, Jimmy, what the statue and the ladies are caught?

Here's your hundred dollars. Thank you. And don't feel too badly because all the proceeds from this auction go to charity. If you'd like to come, here's the address. The auction will be held in my home.

Thank you, lady. Good day. Okay, Mr. Luigi, I put the statue in the car. She must be loaded. She drove off in a beautiful Lincoln. It's a funny country when the Washington drives away in a link.

That though? Put them under the mattress. Some day someone will come in here and steal you and the mattress. Not the inner Chicago. Take my word for it. In America everybody puts their money in the bank.

money in the bank. I don't take your word in Jimmy. Any time I got a problem I go to see my teacher Mrs. Spalding. Take care of the story Jimmy. I'm Mary-ka I love you.

You like a papa to me from motion. Hello my teacher Mrs. Spalding I brought to you after. Oh thank you Luigi I'll be with you in a minute. I wait. Soon as I finish with Mary here. Now Mary I was very surprised this morning when you didn't who invented the electric light?

Well, I'm a surprise to a little Bambino. Everybody's sure to know who invented electric light. Now you see, Mary, here's a man who's only been in this country for six months. And he knows. Go on, Luigi.

Tell her who invented the electric light. Marconi. Marconi, he invented electric light. No, Luigi. Edison invented the electric light. Then a Marconi invented Edison. No. I see you need some more private lessons, Luigi. Alright, Mary, you can run along now.

Be sure you have better answers tomorrow. Alright, Miss Balding. Goodbye, Mr. Luigi. Goodbye, little Mary. Well, tell me, Luigi. How are you and Jimmy O'Connor getting along? He's a finer boy. Every day we have a fight. He's very pleasant.

Well, I'm so glad he found a home and a job with you. He's a good businessman, but he make me do the wrong thing today. He make me sell a statue of a George Washington.

Is not the patriotic, huh? Luigi, patriotism isn't measured by statues. It's something you feel. Good. I feel much better. But what I do with a hundred dollars, Jimmy said put him in a bank. Well he's right.

I suggest you put your money in the Chase National Bank. Why? Why a bank? Because in America, you don't carry on business with cash. You need checks. Marshalafias. They put money in a bank? Oh, yes.

Is good enough for me. I go to Pascuali and I give him a check for the rent. Well, you can see Pascuali later. Go straight to the bank. Don't walk around with so much cash.

After all, there are some dishonest people in the world. Don't worry about the me. I'm a smart man. Yes, but you look out for strangers. They'll try to sell you the Union Station for $100.

Not to me, Mrs. Spalding. Second day I'm in Chicago, I buy it for $500. $500. So, Mamma Mia, six months in this country, and I'm a partner with the Marshall Fields. Who can it tell?

Maybe in a six or more months, a Marshall will have a fighter with a field. He'll throw him out, then it's going to be Marshall Bosco. In a six-month-old s'more, I have a fighter with a martial or a trowhema.

In a one-year-a-mamma mia is an omomashula field, is a basco, basco. But now, like a my teacher mispolding, I say, I go to bank. But as Uncle Pietro always is saying, every collard, she has a silver lining, but for me, here's an o' silver lining.

Because I'm looking into the gold teeth of our country, Menopascuale, who's smiling at the me like a cat. Luigi, Luigi, my friend. Hello, Luigi, hello, hello. Hello, Pascuale. What's the matter for you? I'm your country, man.

Why are you passing my place without coming in? I'm a glass of wine. I'm in a hurry, man. Wait a minute, Luigi. Please, my friend. Please, you're breaking my arm. Somebody's been asking for you.

It's who I think it is. Go by. Come here, Luigi. Just for what a minute. I'm gonna go to the bank. Get it checked. Pay your rent. Forget the business. I'm a no worry about the rent.

You like a son of two men. I'ma bring you from the old country. Why? You don't know either? Listen to me, Luigi. I'ma bring you here to marry a rose. And I'll come inside a stupid...

You call me Papa? Ah, Rosie, my little pampino. Look, Luigi's here. That's in a way to say hello to a bachelor man, and stay hello, nice. Hello, Luigi. Hello, Rosie. That's a nice account of a station you two just to have.

You made for each other. It's a perfect accommodation. Okay, Rosie, go back in the kitchen and help your mama. Top is it gonna take care of your future? She's like a little angel. When I go to heaven, I look her up.

Luigi, I'm a God of Surpriser for you. Next Sunday, how you like to go with a meat to a wedding? Who's a getting a mind? You are. Damn you, will it be my son? What do you say?

Guidabai Papa. All the weeks, roses are big, but she's a wonderful girl. She's a big, but she's a wonderful girl. She's got such a comfortable lap. You sit there, read the papers, smoke at the pipe, drink your wine.

What do you say? I want a wife, not a polster chair. Is this you last the word, myself? Yes. You very last the word? Yes. You positive, absolutely sure? Yes. Where's the guarantee money? I'll throw you off the street.

Mr. Wally, I got the guarantee money. I go to bank now. I give you check. Luigi, you make me nervous. You hear, I hear, money here, transaction. Pascuali, you don't understand. You like it again, hon?

Please, Luigi. I've been to the bank twice. I'm tired. Please, give me my money. Wait. Once more, I explain. I go to the bank. You go to the bank. They take the money from me.

They're taking the money from me. Excuse me, is this Chase National Bank? Yes. I like it to talk to Mr. Chase. Mr. Chase is dead. I wait. Is Mr. Chase the son here? He has no son.

Oh, that's too bad. He's got a finer building here. If he's got a daughter, I'm a single. Look, sir, this is a bang. Do you wish to open an account here? See? Fine. Is this your first bank account?

See. Alright. Now we have the necessary papers right here. It'll just take a few minutes. Now then, what did you say your name was? I don't say. Well, what is it? What for you, neither my name?

For our records. Now, what is your surname? First of the time anybody called me, sir, thank you. Sir, thank you. I mean, I mean, your second name. You want my second name of first? Please.

And my first name of second. Precisely. That's up beside them. That's our system. Now, if you don't mind, sir, how much would you like to start with? I like it to start with a thousand dollars.

That's a good round sum. But I only got a hundred. Well, just give me the money and I'll open up an account for you. You want to check your account? Yes, I want to write a check. I have to pay for quality the rent, or I have to money the rose and then I got...

Fine, that's fine. Here's your deposit slip and here's your checkbook. Now, if you give me the money... Is that necessary? Yes. All right? First, what are you doing with this money? Why we... we invest it?

Yes, yes, that's what we do with it. I'm going to do it. Where are you in a vest? Where? Why are we... What did you say? Where are you in a vest? Yeah, who we invest all this much?

I ask you first. Perhaps you'd better talk to our vice president. Mr. Thurston, would you help me here with a problem? Certainly, Parker. There's a person here who wants to open an account. Parker, I'm asleep in a few minutes. Can't you take care of it?

Sir, he wants to know what we do with our money. What? That's a ridiculous question. I agree with you, sir. But what do we do with our money? Reinvestive! But where? Where? Yes. Where? Get back to your cage, Parker. I'll handle this myself.

How do you do, sir? My name is Thurston. I'm vice president of this bank. Ordinarily, I don't handle matters such as this, but I have always had a slogan. The small depository of today is the big depository of tomorrow.

Then I come back tomorrow. Oh, I didn't mean it that way. Now, sir, you want to know what we do with our money? See, he's important. Is the first $100 I ever have. Yes, I understand your feelings.

Well, this is what we do with your $100. We buy railroads, telephone companies, light and power, public utilities, street cars, real estate and government bonds. You satisfied? Seems like a lot, the $100. $100. Oh no, no, you don't understand.

You see, we pool all of our deposits. We take your money and pay you an interest, and then it works for us. We reinvest it. That's how we make our money by using your money, you understand?

I'm a very nervous. Let me now try another approach. What business are you in? Antique a business. Alright. Now you make your money by buying and selling antiques, right? See. Now a lot of times you can sell an antique for a high price and buy back the same antique at an auction at a cheaper price.

That means that your money is working for you. Now if you give your money to Arthur... That's the coup d'afou for you, but it's a pider for me. I'm not putting the money in it's a bank.

I got all the righties, what to do. No, just a minute, sir. How dare you question my business sense? For your information, Mr. Vasco, I've been with the Chase National Bank for 10 years. Before that, I was with a third national bank for five years.

Before that, I was with a second national bank for three years. Before that, I was with a first national bank for two years. That's my professional record. What do you say to that? It's a nobody who couldn't hold a job.

Oh, to Mrs. Moore, the original needle used by Betsy Ross. She was born in 1752, that 1836 was a wonderful woman. Oh, Mr. Baskar, I didn't see you. I just had come. Is it all right?

You're perfectly welcome. In fact, we're just about to auction off your statue of George Washington. Good is the main reason I come. Now, ladies and gentlemen, this statue of George Washington has an unusual history.

The last owner gave it up at a great personal sacrifice. If I don't give it up, I have it to take a rose. See, please, please. Now this statue, as you all know, came from Luigi Basko's window 21 and up the Holy Steady Street, open a night, and a day, a no and all anything.

All right. Who'll start with 500? Holy smokes, this lady only pay me one hundred. Please. Now, ladies and gentlemen, remember, this is George Washington. He's been elected. He's not campaigning. No! No! Come now, we'll say 300.

We'll say two. Come ladies and gentlemen, we'll start the ball rolling. Ten dollars. Ten dollars is in a song. I think Mr. Bosco is right. Can't I hear twenty-five dollars for the father of our country?

You bet you hear a more than a twenty-five dollars for the father of our country. You hear a hundred dollars and two dollars and eighty-seven cents. Thank you, Mr. Bosco. You're a real American. Well, not the yet. You see, I only come here September 1947, so I don't get a first-to-pay position.

Ladies and gentlemen, you've heard this man's bid. Is there another bid? No, I'm not. Oh, Mr. Bosco, thank you. But you don't have to bid that high. There's only a $10 bid ahead of you.

You can buy the statue for anything over $10. No, my bid is stands. Even that's not enough for George Washington. If I have a more, I bid a more. But it's a great personal sacrifice.

So what? So Pasquale threw me out on the street. He's all right with me. So I stay out on the street with George Washington. He's a worker. He's a great man, a brave man. Brave like a gala ball day.

He's a brave man maybe. He crossed the Delaware in a small about December 25th, 1776. He defeated the British at the Trenton next day in the morning. He beat the whole British Army October 19th to 1781.

So people make him a first president, twice, 1789 to 1796. Maybe you don't know how great a man he is because you're born here and you used to him like children too far. Maybe his way, you don't know how much he's worth to have a Georgia Washington in your house.

But to me, I know. I have him in my store and every morning I say, good morning, Mr. President. And every night they say, sleep or go to Mr. President, is a fine country America.

That's the way I, Luigi Basko, bid $102.88. I found another penny. Thank you, Mr. Basko. Going once, going twice? $1,000. $1,000 bid by Mr. Thurston of the Chase National Bank. Money. Are there any other bids?

Mrs. Wells, I... I know got the money now, but I work harder next year. Maybe you take my money now and I give you a rest and an installment. Oh, I'm sorry, we must have cash.

A thousand once, twice, three times, sold to Mr. Thurston. Mommy, my estan... Mr. Thurston, where do you want the statue delivered? Twenty-one, North Halston Street. Mr. Thurston, that's some other... Exactly. That's where George Washington belongs.

Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Thurston. I pay you back to here. Here's a down payment to my hundred dollars. I'll take this money and open an account for you at the bank. But the statue is yours. It's a gift.

It's impossible. In America, Mr. Basko, everything is possible. So, Mama Mia, I got a George Washington bank. I got a one hundred dollars in a bank, so I pay rent to Pascuali with a check, so I must save the from a rose set.

P.S. P.S. Here's a check for you for $5. He's a good check on a chase in National Bank. I said $16 million a yesterday. Today is $16 million and $102.88 a set. One more P.S. Today I see in a movie magazine pictures of Betty Graybell, Lana Turner, and read the head work. Pick out the which you want to be like for daughter-in-law and let

me know. Don't laugh, Amamia, because in America everything is a pass. Your son Luigi, the little immigrant. Be sure to listen in again next week at the same time when the Columbia Broadcasting System will deliver another letter describing the adventures of Luigi Bosco, the Little Immigrants.
