Danny Freel

Ladies and gentlemen, the railroad hour. And here comes our summer show train. Tonight, the Association of American Railroads presents a new musical play by Lawrence and Lee. Danny Freo, starring Gordon Mac Gray and his guest, lovely Dorothy Warren Show.

Our choir is under the direction of Norman Luboff, and our music is prepared and conducted by Carmen Dragon. Yes, tonight another premiere performance 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, Mom, another and good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Well, sir, tonight we're bringing you a tale of leprechauns and love. We invite you all to travel with us to the Green Isle of Ireland.

I'm Danny, and Dorothy Warren showed us... Well, you'll see as we spin this musical fable of Danny Freel. This Danny? I heard him again. Clear as a lark singing in the heavens, the little people.

They're out tonight in the moonlight by the ruins of the old castle. Oh, put your hands to your ears and do not listen, Danny. I must, mother. I must listen. For it's them that knows about all the good things of the world.

The feasting and the fighting, the making of love and playing of beautiful music. Come to the door, mother. Come and listen. You hear that, don't you, mother? Oh, they're little divils, little people, Danny. They'll do your harm.

How can they harm a body, mother? Just listen to their music. Floating through the air like the green moonlight of May. Listen. Did you hear that, mother? They're calling me. Here you call, and I answer in my school
