Transcript

Ladies and gentlemen, the Railroad Hour. And here comes our star-studded show train. Tonight, the Association of American Railroads presents one of the greatest of recent musicals, Carousel by Richard Rogers and Oscar Hammerstein II, starring Gordon MacRae, and his guest, the lovely Broadway star, Miss Patricia Morrison.

Our fire is under the direction of Norman Luboff, 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 fuel you burn, and all the other things you use in your daily life.

And now here is our star, Gordon McRae. Thank you, now, another and good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Tonight in Carousel I play the part of a carnival barker Billy Bigelow and lovely Patricia Morrison is the pretty little mill worker Julie we're in an amusement park and it's spring.
