Mademoiselle Modiste

Ladies and gentlemen, the railroad hour. And here comes our star-studded show train. Tonight, the Association of American Railroads presents the famous Victor Herbert operator, Mademoiselle Muddies, starring Gordon MacRae and his charming guest, Dorothy Kirsten.

Our choir is under the direction of Norman Luboff, and our music is prepared and conducted by Carmen Ragg. Yes, tonight another great musical success is brought to you, transcribed 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, Marvin Miller, and good evening, ladies and gentlemen. In this delightful Victor Herbert operator, I play the No Account nephew of a Count of France. And lovely Dorothy Kirsten is Fifi, who is so expert at selling women's hats that we call her Mademoiselle Maudist.

Open the door of your shop, Mademoiselle Maudist, and show us a few. Who's you all coming? What kind of head would you care to see? We have them all. The very hall has to stay apart in history.

Oh, Fifi, there's not a hat in the store that wouldn't be more beautiful with you peeking out from under it. Such compliments that you must keep under your hat.

Why, Phoebe? Because their owner of this shop has forbidden it. Madame Cecile, the hat she faces is the hat business. She will heal you. And after all, dear Etienne, you are a captain of the French army.

I am merely a girl who works in a shop. But it makes no difference, Phoebe. Perhaps someday I shall be something more. Ask me again on that someday, dear Etienne. But I am not the kind of a man who can wait for a someday, Phoebe.
