Sally

Ladies and gentlemen, the Railroad Out. And here comes the Star-Studded Show Train. Tonight, the Association of American Railroads presents Lauren Seekpels' musical success Sally, starring Gordon MacRae and his two guests, Marion Bell and Jack Kirkwood.

Our choir is under the direction of Norman Lubo, and our music is prepared and conducted by Carmen Raggart. Yes, tonight another memorable musical hit is brought to you transcribed 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 MacRae! Thank you, Mother Miller and good evening ladies and gentlemen. We're looking for a silver lining tonight, and we all expect to find it in Jerome Kern's great music for Sally.

The Sally of our alley is charming little Marion Bell. So don't be surprised if I fall in love with her in the next 30 minutes. I'm Blair Farquhar, a poor unfortunate guy with only a couple of million bucks in the bank.

Jack Kirkwood plays the Grand Duke Constantine, whom we meet back in the little country of Czech Ergovina. The best proposition for the Constantine Grand Duke of Czech Ergovina? That's me. Revolution!

We have found out about you and Madam Nukaova. No! What did you find out? that you bought a restring of pearls with the taxpayers money. Oh, is that all? For a minute I thought that was going to be a scandal.

You are deposed! You are now a fugitive, an exile! Abam! Of course I didn't know anything about Balkan revolutions in those days. And when I dropped into a New York restaurant for a bite of lunch, I didn't have any idea that the man who was waiting on me had once been the grand duke of Czechoslovina.
