Friendscribed. Ladies and gentlemen, the railroad hour. And here comes our star-studded show train. Tonight the Association of American Railroads presents the great Victor Herbert musical hit the Red Mill, starring Gordon MacRae, and his celebrated guest Miss Reza Stephen.

Our choir is under the direction of Norman Lube-Off, and the music is prepared and conducted by Carmen Dragon. Guess tonight another memorable musical 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, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you, Marvin Miller, and good evening to everyone. Well, on stage tonight is one of the happiest shows ever to hit Broadway, The Red Mill.

Picture lovely Reese's Stevens in the costume of a Dutch girl. in the charming village of Kotvik Anzi. As for me, well, I'm gonna slip into a checkered vest, clap on a straw hat on my head, call myself Kid Khan.

You know what my buddy's name is? Khan Kiddit. It all begins in another old Dutch village named... Let me see if I can pronounce it. New York! Hey Khan, what do you want to go to Europe for?

Romance, boy, romance. The European girls will be crazy about you. Ah, not so fast. There are plenty of lovely dishes right here in Good Old America. If the spare afternoon you should happen to have, and you start on a leisurely stroll up Fifth Avenue, there is where we thought here, you'll see them as they walk.
