Ladies and gentlemen, the Railroad Hour. And here comes our star-studded show train. Tonight, the Association of American Railroads brings you a stirring new musical play, Homecoming. Starring Gordon MacRae and his celebrated guest from the Metropolitan Opera in 18 Conner.

Our choir is under the direction of Norman Luboff, and our music is prepared and conducted by Carmen Dragon. Yes, tonight another musical 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, insane, comfortable, all-weather transportation, at low cost. And now, here is our star, Gordon MacRae. Thank you, Marvin Miller. And good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Tonight, our railroad hour playwrights, Lawrence and Lee, have fashioned a musical play based on Alfred Lord Tennyson's memorable poem, Enoch Arne, lovely Nadine Connor will play Annie Lee, and I will be Enoch, as we bring you homecoming.
