Transcript

Ladies and gentlemen, the Railroad Out. And here comes our star studded show train. Tonight the Association of American Railroads presents the delightful light opera, Ermini, starring Gordon MacRae and his guest, Nell Tangeman. The railroad industry is particularly proud and happy to welcome this well-known concert and opera star, who incidentally is the daughter of a railroad locomotive engineer.

Miss Tangeman is one charming reason why thousands of railroad folks and their families gathered at railroad safety rallies in many parts of the country will be listening with special interests to our program tonight. Our choir is under the direction of Norman Luboff, and our music is prepared and conducted by Carmen Dragon.

Yes, tonight another musical success 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 McRae. Thank you ladies and gentlemen, thank you Marvin Miller and a good good evening ladies and gentlemen. Tonight is a fair going on in the little French village of Poemberes and you're all invited.

All round in a world we skip, and we twirl at each point and girls make merry. Oh men, the string, they score diversity, young men and a ring make merry. Oh, why's in a row make learning for gold?

But babies by gold, the sorrow make merry From your pad of us, baby! You see that beautiful girl there? The one with the dancing eyes and the peaches and cream complexion? Well, that's now Tangermin in the role of the irresistible Erminy.
