Transcript

Ladies and gentlemen, the railroad hour. And here comes our star-studded show train. Tonight, the Association of American Railroads presents a new Lawrence & Lee fantasy with music, Miss Cinderella, starring Gordon Macray and his charming guest Dorothy Warren Show.

Our choir is under the direction of Norman Luboff, and our music is prepared and conducted by Carmen Dragon. Yes, tonight another delightful musical first is brought to you 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.

And now here is our star, Gordon McQuay. Thank you, Marvin Miller and good evening ladies and gentlemen. Tonight Dorothy Warren Schol and I bring you a musical fable, Miss Cinderella. This is a story of a girl I met who changed my whole life.
