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, Northie Marietta. Starring Gordon MacRae and his guest star, Nadine Connor.
Our choir is on the direction of Norman Lubo, and the 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 fewer you burn, and all the other things you use in your daily life.
And now here is our star, Gordon MacRae! Thank you, Marvin. Another and good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Tonight in the title role of North America, you will hear the lovely Metropolitan Opera Soprano, Nadine Connor.
And I play the role of Captain Dick Warrington, whose band of soldiers fought for country and for honor in New Orleans in the year 1780. The story of Marietta is the story of a girl, the soldier of fortune, and of an unfinished melody.
Do what I say, Marietta, and he eats me with happiness until you find the man can sing the other half of that melody you heard in your tree. But where will I find the man who completes the melody?
A ship of bride sails on the Marro von Ljorian. Forget that you're an Italian noblewoman. over woman. Oh down to that ship and pay one of the girls to give you her place on the bride ship. Somewhere across the world, you will find the man you speak. But God, your identity, let no one know who you are. I will go. I'll do it.
