Birthday

Ladies and gentlemen, the railroad hour. And here comes our star-studded show train. Tonight, the Association of American Railroads brings you the premier performance of a new musical play by Lawrence and Lee. Birthday starring Gordon MacRae and his charming guest Lucille Norman.

Our choir is on the direction of Norman Lubal, and our music is prepared and conducted by Carmen Dragon. Yes, tonight another musical first 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 safe, comfortable, all-weather transportation at low cost. And now here is our star, Gordon McRae. Thank you, Marvin Miller. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Light Lucille Norman joins me as we bring you a delightful new play with music.
