What happens
Gracie Allen decides to give her friend Tootsie Saggrail a new look, so she hires Professor Hubble Robinson, a beauty expert who promises to make people resemble their favorite movie star. Tootsie chooses Veronica Lake, and Gracie arranges for Tootsie to be treated before she becomes engaged to Bill Goodwin. George Burns is skeptical of the professor's claims and the household's scheme takes several unexpected turns. The episode is from the Burns and Allen series, first broadcast on February 16, 1943, with Gracie Allen and George Burns leading the cast alongside Bea Benaderet and Meredith Willson.
The Burns house, where Gracie and George live, and the beauty treatment room where Tootsie undergoes the professor's treatment.
Characters: Gracie Allen, George Burns, Tootsie Saggrail, Bill Goodwin, Professor Hubble Robinson, Veronica Lake, Mr. Postman
Listen for: Gracie's running commentary on Tootsie's treatment, and the professor's outlandish claims about his customers.
Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
