Transcript

Ladies and gentlemen, the railroad hour. And here comes our star studded show train. Tonight the Association of American Railroads presents the premiere of a new musical play by Lawrence and Lee, Starlight, starring Gordon MacRae and his charming guest Lucille Norman.

Our choir is under the direction of Norman Luboff, and our music is prepared and conducted by Carmen Dragon. Yes, tonight another musical first 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, Matt Gray. Thank you, Marvin. And good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Tonight Lucille Norman and I are bringing you a memory of the days of Bondville. Lucy is Helen Harris and I'm a singing hoofer named Harry McKay and here is Starlight.

Do you remember Miss Harris? Absolutely Mr. McKay. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. The palace of the Babies. Miss Harris. Were there any big people born in your hometown?

No big people. Only babies. Ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. Now for the trick turn. Good girl. I think we better stop Miss Harris. I'm a little stiff from dancing. I don't care where you're from.

Keep moving. Maybe we finally played the palace. We're in the big time. Yes, Harry. What's the matter, honey?

It's a grumba bot. But more could a couple of hoofers ask for. Nothing, Harry. It's all I've ever wanted. It's all I've ever wanted. Say, put your right arm out a little more as you make the trick turn, huh?
