Ladies and gentlemen, the Railroad Hour. And here comes our star-studded show train. Tonight, the Association of American Railroads presents the radio-premiere of another delightful musical story, Smiles by Vincent Eumans starring Gordon MacRae and his lovely guest Elaine Malbin.
Our choir is under the direction of Norman Luboff, and our music is prepared and conducted by Carmen Dragon. 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.
The same railroads that bring you the finest in safe luxurious all-weather transportation. At the price you can afford. And now here is our star, Gordon Patrick. Thank you, Marvin Miller, and good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
Well, Sir Elaine Melbourne plays a little girl named Smiles, and I'll be Bob Hastings. A long island millionaire, of course, with nothing but... I'm on my head. He's an ill with my own. Nothing but love.
Are you singing too, Bob? Oh, nobody. Anybody. Whenever I see the moon coming up with a long island sound, I start getting romantic. You get rid of the moon or get yourself a girl, one or the other.
You're a fine one of talks, sis. Why don't you get yourself a guy? Oh, I guess I expect to budge the man. Two arms, two legs, must be breathing. Well, maybe I'm too particular, too.
I keep imagining a girl who's honest, smiling, generous, and... You don't want a girl, you want to use car salesman. Oh, but that's very funny. You don't sense I can see her in the moonlight, though. I can almost touch her.
