The Merry Widow

Ladies and gentlemen, the Railroad Hour. And here comes our star-studded show-trang. Tonight, the Association of American Railroads presents... Gray, our choir is under the direction of Norman Luboff, and our music is arranged and conducted by Carmen Dragg.

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, you burn and all the other things you use in your daily life. And now here is Gordon MacRae. Thank you and good evening ladies and gentlemen this is your host Gordon

MacRae bringing up the curtain on the lilting and unforgettable Franz Lejar operator the Mary widow. Tonight I play Prince D'Inilo in the story of Paris generations ago the exciting romantic Paris of wine women and saw and nowhere in the city is there a woman more enchanting than the guest of honor at the

the Marsovian Embassy Ball, Madame Sonja, the Meriwitto, and the Toast of Paris. And here as the Toast of the Railroad Hour is the charming vivacious lady who whirled away with many a heart as the Meriwitto of the Screen.

Our beloved guest star, Jeanette McDonald. You may have the next dance, Madame Sonja. You certainly may count. I'll dance with any handsome man. I'll get to all of you, just write your names on my dance program. I'd like to know at least the names of the men I propose to me. And I suppose you all want to propose to me.

Then we do have a chance. Of course, you all have a chance. A woman wasn't made to walk through life alone. Be careful, Sonia, lovely boy. You're much too kind, Baron Pappo.
