The Student Prince

Ladies and gentlemen, the Railroad Hour. And from Hollywood, here comes the Star-Studded Show Train. Tonight, your railroads through the Association of American Railroads present the student prince. In our Star-Studded cast, you will hear the host of our series, Gordon MacRae, two famous guest stars, Dorothy Kirsten and Kenny Baker.

and a great cast of Hollywood featured players, including Hans Conrad, Vethilu Gerson, Bobby Drisco, and Peter Rankin. Our choir is under the direction of Norman Lubav, and the entire production is sent to the music of Carmen Dragon's Orchestra, and brought to you by the American Railroad, the same railroads that bring you most of the food you eat, the clothes you wear,

the fuel you burn, and the things you use in your daily life. And now, here is Gordon MacRae. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. And this is Gordon Macrae helping to bring you another in our series of musical comedy successes.

Tonight, The Railroad Hour presents A Story of the Days When Germany Was Young, a show that opened on Broadway in 1924 and has been performed every year since. At one time there were nine different companies playing all over the country, and of course I'm speaking of the student prints with book by Dorothy Donnelly and music by Sigmund Romburg.

As our guests tonight, we're very happy to present the glamorous Metropolitan in San Francisco To opera star Dorothy Kirsten in the role of Cathy. And in the part of Carl Franz the student prince, we are very glad indeed to have Kenny Baker with us this evening.

And I'm certain you'll have a real thrill in store for you when you hear them sing. I roll this evening for which I age a few years, and gracefully I hope, is the part of Dr. Angle,
