Princess Pat

And here comes the star-sundered show train. Tonight, the Association of American Railroads presents Victor Herbert's enchanting operator, the Princess Tass, starring Gordon MacRae and his two lovely guest stars, Dorothy Kirsten and Lucille Norman. Our choir is under the direction of Norman Lubo, and the music is prepared and conducted by Carmen Raggon.

Yes, tonight another big 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 MacRae. Thank you, Marvin Miller, and good evening ladies and gentlemen. Well, tonight we have an abundance of good things, two lovely guest stars from the Metropolitan Opera, Dorothy Kirsten, and from the nation's airwaves, Lucille Norman, and from the pen of Victor Herbert's memorable score.

Here's the Princess Pat. We've gone, how my heart is yours. Does that music make you think of Neapolitan Nights, the Isle of Capri, the sunsets of Cerento, with sousviets rising like a proud giant over the blue waters of the Mediterranean?

Well, that's where my palace was, in the Day of Naples. My name is Prince Antonio D. Montauver. When you get to know me better, you can call me Toto. When I left the Bay of Naples to follow a lovely Irish girl halfway around the world, a girl named Pat, when she finally married me, all her friends in Long Island called her Princess, the Princess Pat.

You think that you're a princess? Why it's no different from being Mrs. Jones or Mrs. Smith. Any woman who's in love with her husband is a Princess Grey? That's the happiness I'll never know past.
