Transcript

Ladies and gentlemen, the railroad hour. And here comes our star studded show train. Tonight the Association of American Railroads presents a memorable musical hit, Victor Herbert's Sweetheart, starring Gordon MacRae and his lovely guest from the New York City Opera Company, Elaine Malbin.

Our choir is under the direction of Norman Luboff, and our music is prepared and conducted by Carmen Dragg. Yes, tonight another great musical success is brought to you by the American railroads. 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.

Now here is our star, Gordon McPray. Thank you, Marvin Miller, and good evening ladies and gentlemen. Well sir, if you're in love, or if you've ever been in love, or if you're thinking of Falling in love, we think you'll enjoy Victor Herbert's sweetheart.

Sweetheart, make love the day. The charming Elaine Malbin is here to play Sylvia. My name is Franz, and the story begins with a bevy of beautiful girls in the fabulous laundry of the white beast.

Oh, we do lonely, we find time. I'm not a sleepy rabbit, but we must have to finish, but we got to iron. Hello Andre, not a singing society, I am the Iron! Oh, how I hate Iron shirts!

Oh, I don't mind. If it's a military shirt like this one. Oh, don't iron that shirt! It belongs to Franz. And if we finish this lawn, he won't keep coming into us. Oh, shh, here we come.

Hello, you little white geese. Is my laundry ready? Name, please. Oh, come on. Now, Sylvia, you know my name by this time. Rule number two. Don't flirt with the customers. What's rule number one? Don't let the customers flirt with you.
