Review of 1929

Ladies and gentlemen, the Railroad Off. 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, starring Gordon MacRae, and featuring Lucille Norman, with the music of Carmen Dragon and the orchestra, script by Gene Holloway, and the choir under the direction of Norman Lubong.

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 another year that you lived yesterday.

1929. If I had a talking picture of you, I'd run it every time I felt blue. I would sit there in the moon, I'd run it, and what it's time you whispered. I love you, love you.

1929. Herbert Hoover and Charles Curtis were the newly elected President and Vice President of the United States. John D. Rockefeller celebrated his 90th birthday. And Janet Gator and Charles Farrell were the delight of the country in the film's funny side up.

Commander Bird dropped an American flag at the South Pole. And in stock market circles, there was a lot of talk about buying on margin. Broadway had $15 million worth of lights strung along the great white way.

And one of the shows advertised by those lights was the exciting Vincent Human's hit, Great Day! When you're down, down, lift up your head and shout, there's gonna be a great day. Angels in the sky promise that by and by there's gonna be a great day.
