Brought to you this Sunday and every Sunday at the same time as the Sunday feature of NBC's All-Star Festival. And here is your hostess, the glamorous, unpredictable, Toulula Bankhead. Well darling, we have just finished 13 weeks of the big shows and each show an hour and a half.

Now you won't believe it, I'm sure, but I just found out there are shows on radio that are only one half are each. But I knew you wouldn't believe it, darling. But on this show it takes a half an hour just to mention the names of the stars.

Well, as a matter of fact, we thought we would save time by just throwing to our stars by their little, you know, like you Rancy Allen and Holiday would be a DAA. But we gave that up because on next week's show we were thinking of having Cantor, the Bill and Sinosa.

I waited for you, darling. So you can see why using a nickel is out. Oh, I mean out here. Here's six by a mile. Lea de Rosa. OK, De Rosa, femur down, femur down. You're not managing the gun now at the polo gun.

Well, I'm sorry, but you said out certain words and face for all why they upset me. I'll lose my head. Yeah, I know. a word like um-pa for instance. I ain't lovely awful the way you picked the um-pa.
