Transcript

Ladies and gentlemen, a railroad hour. Tonight, the Association of American Railroads presents a new musical version of George de Morier's Trilby, starring Gordon MacRae and his famous guest, Dorothy Warren Show. Our choir is under the direction of Norman Luboff, and the music is prepared and conducted by Carmen Dragon.
