Ladies and gentlemen, the Railroad Hour. And here comes our new summer show train. Tonight the Association of American Railroad inaugurates a series of new musical plays and opertas, created especially for the Railroad Hour, and starring Gordon MacRae and his charming guest Dorothy Warren Show.
Our choir is under the direction of Norman Lubo, and our music is prepared and conducted by Carmen Dragon. Yes, tonight and every Monday night the world premier of a new operator 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 MacRae. Thank you, Marvin Miller and good evening ladies and gentlemen. Tonight, Dorothy Warren Scholl will sing the role of Mary Parker in Beautiful Dreamer, Lawrence and Lee and I shall be an old friend of yours named Steve you wouldn't recognize his face and you never shook his hand but Steve is a good friend of yours

Oh no, he used to write happy music What, that was many, many years ago What, who is this man? I don't know Excuse my appearance. I'm a customer. I'll take that song, young lady. You need to thrash it.
