The Brownings

Ladies and gentlemen, the railroad hour. And here comes our star studded show train. Tonight, the Association of American Railroads presents a new play with music by Lawrence and Lee, the Browning, starring Gordon MacRae and his celebrated guest, Dorothy Warren Show.

Our choir is under the direction of Norman Luebau, and our music is prepared and conducted by Carmen Dragot. Yes, tonight another delightful musical first is brought to you transcribed by the American Railroad, 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.

Now here is our star, Gordon McRae. Thank you, Marvin Miller and good evening ladies and gentlemen. Some of the music you will hear tonight is familiar, and some has been composed especially for our play by Carmen Dragon.

Dorothy Warren should Elizabeth and I am Robert as we bring you the story of the brownies. I didn't fall in love with her at first sight. It didn't take that long.

I happened on to a thin little volume of poems by Elizabeth Moulden Barrett and immediately fell in love with the author. So there was nothing to do but write her a letter and tell her so.

To miss Elizabeth Barrett, fifteen Whimper. Elizabeth? Yes, Baba. You've just received a letter from some impotent young man signed RB, and I've opened it, because I do not think you're strong enough to read it yourself.

Who, please Baba, let me read it. Perhaps for identification purposes so we can silence him. Yes. RB? What? It's from Robert Browning, the famous poet. Oh. Hear what he says, Baba. I love your verses with all my heart, dear Miss Barrett.
