Countess Maritza

Transcribed. Ladies and gentlemen, the railroad hour. And here comes the star-studded show train. Tonight, the Association of American Railroads presents the beloved and tuneful operator, Countess Melissa, by Emory Kalman and Harry D. Smith, starring Gordon MacRae and his guest, Mr. Dorothy Warren Show.

Our choir is under the direction of Norman Lubor, and the music is prepared and conducted by Carmen Raggis. Here, tonight and other by the American Railroad. And 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. Tonight's star, Countess Maritza, has been delighting theatre-goers for many years. In the title role, you'll hear the lovely soprano, Miss Dorothy Warren, shows.

I play the part of Count de Silo, a stashing but impoverished nobleman with a care-free attitude or delight. A day's gone by like a sleigh, and a woman's smile then was always wild. Was a siren song out of them all?

I would fall, wise of blue, my heart be straight, or perhaps a day. I'd pack the moo face off. Oh, it's a beautiful morning, isn't it, Baron?

What's more, Captain Mener? It's an amount of things like this. Fine horse and a wonderful country to ride through. Well, I must say, Countess Silo, you're in rather high spirit for a man without a penny in his pocket.

Why not, Baron? I had a good time spending the money. Oh, one of the finest estates in Hungary, squandered. And what do you have to show for it? The memories of a very good kind.
