Review of 1937

Ladies and gentlemen, the Railroad Owl. And here comes the Summer Show Train. The Association of 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.

Brings you the Railroad Summer Show Train, and Scribe, starring Gordon MacRae, and featuring Lucille Norman, with the music of Carmen Dragon and the Orchestra, script by Gene Holloway, and the fire under the direction of Norman Luboff.

And now here is our star, Gordon MacRae. Oh, thank you, Marvin Miller, and good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Tonight, we're going to ride the summer show train back through time and memory to a year that you lived yesterday.

Tonight's destination, the year 1937. The leaves of front and tongue went down, within septend, The sun went on just like the dying septend. 1937, a year that you lived yesterday, It was the year of the 75th Congress of Dr. Francis E. Townsend and old age pensions.

The year of the marriage of the most publicized couple of the century, X King Edward of England and Mrs. Wallace Simpson. It was the year Louise Reiner won her second Academy Award with her performance in the movie, The Gooder.

And the year Frederick March and Janet Gaynor made the eloquent and unforgettable film, A Star Is Born. Yes, Lucille. And it was also the year we heard Alan Jones sing a brand new song that had been added to the score of an old and much loved operator.

We heard this in the movie version of The Firefly in 1937. The song in the air, but the fair, Senorita, doesn't seem to care for the song in the air. Oh, I'll sing to the mule, if you're sure she won't think that I am just a fool, serenading home.
