Transcript

Ladies and gentlemen, the railroad hour. And here comes our star studded show train. Tonight the Association of American Railroads presents two hearts in three quarter time, starring Gordon MacRae and his guest, Lovely Marion Bell.

The operator is by Robert Stolt, Daily Passman, William A. Drake, Walter Reich, and Franz Schus. Our choir is under the direction of Norman Lubop, and our music is prepared and conducted by Carmen Dragon. Yes, tonight another great musical success is brought to you by the American Railroad.

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!

And thank you, Marvin Miller, and good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Well we have a festival of waltzes for you tonight as we visit the city where the waltz was born. The city of palace is along the ringstrasse and the gay cafes of the prophet.

The city where the Danube flows blue and bright beneath the arches. And music in three-quarter time flows from a thousand violins. The city of the great names of Franz Joseph and Count Benedict, of the Strauss and Mozart, of Lehar and Litt.

The city where music is king. And all the Viennese song Drink with a frog, help life along And a bromole of trans I'd love to be Comes floating in my hover course Life in Vienna can be a delight, or a successful composer

And tonight I shall be Tony Helper, if not the Waltz King, at least a crown prince in Vienna's music royalty For the melodies of my operators are sung throughout Europe Marion Bell is Haiti, the charming young daughter of my producer.
