Ladies and gentlemen, the Railroad Hour. And here comes our star-studded show train. Tonight, the Association of American Railroads presents transcribed Lawrence and Lee's musical play Starlight, 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 Dragon. Yes, tonight another delightful musical is brought to you by the American Railroad, The same railroads that bring you the food you eat, the clothes you wear, the fuel you burn, and the multitude of other things you use in your daily life.
And now here is our star, Gordon MacRae. Thank you. Thank you, Marvin Miller, and good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Well tonight Dorothy Warren Scholl and I are bringing you a memory of the days of good old vaudeville.
