Transcript

Ladies and gentlemen, the railroad hour. And here comes our star-sputted show train. The association of American railroads presents Two Hearts in Three-quarter Time, starring Gordon MacRae and his guest lovely Marion Bell. The opera is by Robert Stoltz, Daily Parkspon, William A. Drake, Walter Reich, and Franz Schutz.

Our choir is under the direction of Norman Lubo, and our music is prepared and conducted by Carmen Dragotz. Yes, tonight another memorable musical is brought to you by the American Railroad. The same railroad that brings 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 MacRae. Thank you. Thank you and good evening ladies and gentlemen. Well sir, we have a festival of Waltz for you tonight as we visit the city where the Waltz was born.

The city where the Danube closed blue and bright beneath the arches, and music in three-four times flows from a thousand violins. The city of the great names of Franz Joseph and Count Metanet, of the Strausses and Mozart, of Lehigh and Liszt.

The city where music is king. I'm gonna sing drink with a frog, tell pry along the floor. The winner can be a delight for a successful composer. Tonight I have to be Tony Hoeber.

If not, the Walt King at least crowned Prince in Vienna's musical royalty. For the melodies of my operators are sung throughout Europe. Marion Bell is petty, the charming young daughter of my producer. But as our story begins, I have the slightest idea that old Blalstingle has such an attractive blossom of his family dreams.
