George Burns and Gracie Allen. Oh, yeah. With the music of Felix Mills and yours truly, Harry Bonzo. And now meet the people who live in the Burns House. George and Gracie. It's morning in the Burns Home, a very special morning as George discovers when he comes down to breakfast.

Happy anniversary, darling. Sorry, that's right. Another year of married life. Have you been happy, George? You know I have. Is there anything you could wish for that you haven't had? Not a thing. Of course, there's nothing like a child to make a home complete.

Oh, thank you. Be a child, I'll go up someday. I hope so. And a verse you've come so fast. It doesn't seem like leaving now or at any time at all. I can remember every detail of our wedding day.

We were playing vaudeville in Kansas City at the time. We got married at noon and down near Mr. Matinev. Yeah, later on I fixed the wedding dinner, just for the two of us. Yeah, we had one of those big, thick, juicy Kansas City steaks, broiled and butter.

Yeah, and then you took me on your lap and kissed me, as only you could take. You remember everything, don't you? That they hold the sweetest, tenderest memory of my life. Really? Sure. I've never had a steak like that since.

Well, let's forget Kansas City and have a little breakfast. Oh, no breakfast today, George. I've got a little surprise for you. What is it? Well, to celebrate our anniversary, we're going to spend today, just like we said our wedding day.

And we were too nervous to eat our breakfast that day. Well, today I'm not so nervous. Let's eat. Oh, you and your appetite. I thought you'd like to relive our wedding day. Is your heart set on this idea?
