Ladies and gentlemen, the railroad hour. And here comes the star-studded show train. Tonight, the Association of American Railroads presents the romantic Victor Herbert operator, the only girl, starring Gordon Macrae, and its lovely guest Dorothy Warren Cho.
Our choir is under the direction of Norman Luboff, and our music is prepared and conducted by Carmen Dragon. Yes, tonight another great musical success is brought to you by the American Railroads, 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 McRae. Thank you, Marvin Miller and good evening, ladies and gentlemen. In tonight's performance of the only girl, the brilliant new singing star of Opera, Concert and Radio, Ms. Dorothy Warren Show plays the part of the beautiful Ruth Wilson.
And I play Alan Kimbrough, a famous librettist who is looking for a composer to collaborate with him in the writing of his new musical comedy. And what do you think happened to him? Well, just listen.
Mr. Kimbrough, do you wish dinner at the usual time? Yes, on is the usual time. Will you be dining alone again? Yes, I'll be dining alone. Any messages? Will your friend Mr. Bunkie stop by a little earlier with a young lady?
A young lady? Yes, they're getting married on Saturday. Oh, no, not Bunkie. Well well well, another good man gone wrong. And Mr. Coxy called, he's getting married too, Corksing. What woman high-poned him? No he didn't mention the ladies name sir.
Well I know one thing. No woman's going to put a wedding ring through my nose. Big pardon Mr. Kimbro, but it isn't natural for a young man like you to live alone the way you do.
