When the Radio Theatre first presented Greg Garson and Walter Pigeon on this stage, They were already one of the greatest box office teams in history, and their fame and popularity have mounted through the years.

In her hand is a glass of champagne. No, no, no ma'am. No more champagne. Don't you dare touch it, Massey. I only had one glass of dinner, you know. You're getting old, Massey. You need to sleep.

Get to bed. I'll be glad to stay if you don't want to be alone. I'm never alone in this room. It's too full of memories. I should go on. Get to bed. Say, Granny. Say, Granny.

Merry Christmas, great Granny. Change. Your father said you were ill, dear. The cool. Oh, he was making excuses for me. I tried to get here before they all left. How's dinner, great granny? Oh, just about the same as every family gathering.
