Irene

Transcribe. Ladies and gentlemen, the Railroad Hour. And here comes our star-studded Jo-Train. Tonight, the Association of American Railroads presents the charming Broadway musical Irene, starring Gordon MacRae and his guest star Elaine Malbin.

Our fire is under the direction of Norman Luboff, and the 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.

And now here is our star, Gordon MacRae! Thank you, Marvin Miller, and good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Well, sir, tonight Elaine Malbin will be the unforgettable Irene. I'm a fellow named Donald Marshall, and I'm giving a party at my fifth avenue mansion.

And of course, you're all invited. Well, ladies and gentlemen, here on Fifth Avenue is tracing our family background. You mean genealogy, Bob? That's right. Climbing up our family trees until we find William the Conqueror.

Sometimes you climb your family tree and all you find is bark. That's called barking up the wrong tree. In the art of genealogy, we find the pedigree of your family tree. And if it's what it ought to be, but in the blue is glowing, If you want to find enough for a cousin or an ant,

We knew your tree when it was a plant, We can make them want your family hands With a coat of arms worth showing Please, Professor, please, Professor, wait Professor, tell me When the maids are our tail It's true, and our friends are a plan Underneath the branches of our spreading family trees Come along with me
