Hope Is a Woman

Ladies and gentlemen, the Railroad Hour. Here comes our star-studded show train. Tonight, the Association of American Railroads presents the world premiere of a new musical play, Hope is a Woman, 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 Dragot. 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 McRae. Thank you, Marvin Miller, and good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Two of the greatest journalists of the 90s were Richard Harding Davis and Williston Fish. Tonight we're putting two of their best stories together as we bring you hope is a woman So all aboard for the gay 90s
