The Red Mill

Ladies and gentlemen, the Railroad Hour. Star-studded show train! Tonight, the Association of American Railroads presents the great Victor Herbert musical hit the Red Mill, starring Gordon MacRae and his charming guest, Eileen Farrell. A choir is under the direction of Norman Luboff, and the music is prepared and conducted by Carmen Dragon.

Yes, tonight another memorable musical 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.

And now here is our star, Gordon MacRae. Thank you, Marvin Miller, and good evening, ladies and gentlemen. On stage tonight is one of the happiest shows ever to hit Broadway, The Red Mill. Eileen Fowl is in the costume of a Dutch girl in the charming village of Kotvik and Z. As for me, I'm going to slip into a checkered vest, clap a straw hat on my head and call myself Kid Connor.

You know what the partner's name is? Con-Kitter. And it all begins in another old Dutch village named... Well, let me see if I can pronounce it. Ah, yes. New York! In gold, they're sweet! What do you want to go to Europe for?

Romance, boy, romance! The European girls be crazy about you, not so fast. You know, there are plenty of lovely dishes right here in the good old USA. If a spare afternoon you should happen to have, and you start on a leisurely stroll up with Avenue, there is where we're partyin'.

You'll see them as they walk With pallets and laces and sables and holding them Really, oh, nearly drop dead on beholding them Lock is the old who can marry a girl From Fifth Avenue, New York In Old New York, in a peach box always fine There's sweet and fair and long Square the mace of Manhattan for mine
