Mary

Ladies and gentlemen, the Railroad Hour. The star-studded show train. Tonight, the Association of American Railroads presents the delightful musical hit, Mary, starring Gordon MacRae and his celebrated guest from the Metropolitan Opera, Dorothy Kirsten.

Our choir is under the direction of Norman Luboff, and our music is prepared and conducted by Carmen Dragon. Yes, tonight another memorable musical success is brought to you by the American Railroads. The same railroads that bring you most of the food you eat, the pulp 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! Oh my mother, and good evening ladies and gentlemen. Say Dorothy Kirsten, do you remember the 20s? Ha ha, the 20s. Yes, sir, either 20s. The era of the exclamation point.

The days of Vilma Bankian, boop boop, doop! It was the heyday of the dare, and the age of adoration. of Lindy and Babe Ruth and Valentino. And more than anything, it was the era of the good time.

And if you walked down Broadway to the Nick and Barker Theatre on the night of October 18th, 1920, you would have seen in bright lights. George M. Cohan presents Mary by Frank Mandel, Otto Hoback and Lewis Hirsch.

Curtin going up. Hovering around with that toy. Oh, now, Mom, Mom, it's no toy.

It's... Well, it's a practical working model of the perfect little dream house. What's this? Hey, hey, hey! Be careful, Mom. You'll break off my front porch. Here, have a peek through the front window. You see, Mom, it's...

Just a long rest. Fosie with charm. Like a dress. Down on a floor of a render with some sort of wing and bar Then a kitchen where some rambler rose as tall Now look in the side window There's a small room A tea set of blue Best small room
