The New Moon

Ladies and gentlemen, the railroad hour. And here comes the star-studded show-tray. Tonight the Association of American Railroads presents the romantic operator, the New Moon, starring Gordon MacRae and his lovely guest star Miss Ilona Massey.

Our choir is under the direction of Norman Luboff, and the music is arranged and conducted by Carmen Dragon. Yes, tonight another great musical hit is 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 all the other things you use in your daily life.

And now here is our star, Gordon MacRae! Thank you and good evening ladies and gentlemen. Tonight, our curtain rises on the famous Sigmundraumberg operator, the New Moon. In the role of the Lady Marianne, you will hear the charming motion picture in concert star, star, Miss Elona Massey. And in the role of her bondservant, I appear as a

swashbuckling lad named Robert Miseau, who sailed a romance and high adventure on a ship called the New Mooire. Lord 1791, as I look back through my journal to the pages that tell the events of that year, my heart quickens. And once more I stand in that tavern in New Orleans, looking into the eyes of the men who were to make a

desperate to ask for freedom with me. We were all bond servants, but we were also French, and we knew the words that were being whispered in the streets of Paris under the very window of the King, liberty, equality, paternity. I had whispered them myself, and the King had declared me a traitor and put a price in my head. So I fled to New Orleans as a bond servant.
