Babes in Toyland

Transcranced. Ladies and gentlemen, the railroad hour. It comes our star-studded Joe Trane. The mighty association of American railroads presents the delightful Victor Herbert Opera at her babes in Toyland, starring Gordon Macray and his charming guest star Lucille Norman.

Our choir is under the direction of Norman Luboff, and our music is prepared and conducted by Carmen Dragon. Yes, tonight another memorable musical success 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.

The same railroads that bring you the finest in taste, luxurious, all-weather transportation. At the price you can afford. And now here is our star, Gordon MacRae. Thank you, Marvin D'Arne. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

Well, sir, what do you know, these two seasons? So we're going back to the storybook days. For the days of, remember, when, days and once upon a time, when you've grown up my dear, and are as old as often far.

We'd like to have you meet some of the celebrated citizens of Toy Land, though they're really probably old friends of yours.

So fellow citizens, forward march! We present Miss Hood, first name Red Riding, lovely child very devoted to a grandmother. That's our friend Peter over there, that boy has a mad passion for pumpkin pie.

And look at that simple Simon, and Miss Muffet who doesn't care a bit for spiders. Boy, there's Tom Tom, the piper's son, and little boy Blue, boy Farmer. So grab your trumpet Mr. Blue, and that's all, boywood parts!

Now save these crying. Why it's a little ball peep. Man, I know what seems to be the trouble. You haven't gone and lost those sheep again. Don't cry, your sheep will try. Keep them apart.
