Maestro

Ladies and gentlemen, the Railroad Hour. And here comes our star-studded show train. Tonight, the Association of American Railroads presents a new musical play by Lawrence and Lee. Myestro, starring Gordon MacRae and his celebrated guest Dorothy Warren Show.

Our choir is under the direction of Norman Luboff, and our music is prepared and conducted by Carmen Drag. Yes, tonight another musical first 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, Robin. And good evening, ladies and gentlemen. What do you think of when you hear this? What do you think of in those moments of musical chaos?

Before the conductor taps his baton on the stand. There is a second of electric silence When every eye in the concert hall is on the maestro At the tall moves We are all of us caught up in the mighty majesty of music Our mirth's reshore Playing like old men

Now get some youngness Some youngness in the music Let's move on to something else Miss Galloway solo Susan Yes, Marshall I realize you are tired, Susan I am tired We've been traveling around the country for many, many weeks.

But tonight is our starlight concert. And let's make a starry, my friends. Orchestra, this is a love song, not a pinnacle game. And so we begin. Who's that? There's a little boy sitting out there.

He looks awfully tiny in this big bowl. Like a lonely cornflake that somebody forgot to finish for breakfast. Young man. Me? Yes, you come up here. and our concert doesn't begin until late 30th night.
