The Fortune Teller

Ladies and gentlemen, the railroad hour. And here comes our star studded show train. Tonight the Association of American Railroads presents Victor Herbert's colorful gypsy operator, the fortune teller, 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 great musical success 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.

Tonight, America's railroads salute the boys' clubs of America, and the men and women who are giving unselfishly of their time and money to help carry on the work of these clubs. Their work means much in helping our youngsters achieve a happy, successful, and useful life.

And now, here is our star, Gordon MacRae. Thank you, Marvin Miller, and good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Tonight, Dorothy Warren should play the lovely museps, and I shall be a gypsy named Shandor, as we bring you Victor Herbert's The Fortune Teller.

I fell in love with museps at the first moment I saw her in the ballet at the Royal Opera House. I was a poor gypsy watching her from a distance, and as she whirled on the stage I felt somehow She danced with all the fire and fervor of the Gypsy Queen.

And yet she was not a Gypsy, or so they told me. All right, girls of my ballet company. I am about to disclose something of the greatest importance. Were you the new step, Professor Fresco?
