Transcript

Ladies and gentlemen, the Railroad Hour. And here comes our star studded show tray. Tonight, the Association of American Railroads presents a memorable musical hit, Victor Herbert's Sweethearts, starring Jane Powell, Walter O'Keefe, and your host Gordon MacRae.

Our choir is under the direction of Norman Luboff, and our music is arranged and conducted by Carmen Dragon. Yes, tonight another great musical success is brought to you by the American Railroads, The same railroads that also bring you most of the food you eat, the clothes you wear, the fuel you burn, and all the other things you use in your daily life.

And now here is Gordon McRae! Thank you and good evening ladies and gentlemen. Well along with all the valentines you may have received today, you can add one more. For the Association of American Railroads.

It's a great Broadway show with a great musical by Victor Herbert, and we call it Sweethearts. If you've ever been in love, we're sure you'll enjoy tonight's show. When musical comedies are like fairy tales that everybody wishes could come true, the Prince is always fancier than any movie star, and the Princess is just as lovely as, well,

even Jane Powell, if that's possible. Jane's with us tonight in the role of Sylvia, and we have one of the favorite comics of Broadway and radio, Mr. Walter O'Keefe. He plays me talent, sweethearts. I'll be friends.

And Verde Felton is the owner of the laundry of the white geese. Just about the most romantic laundry that ever ripped a button off his shirt. I'll give the whole bit food, because I am iron iron iron.

There are things we'd rather go but rather luck than never to simply ask what before to eat. I'm a sticking society. Iron!
