What happens
George Burns and Gracie Allen run a comedy in which Gracie wants George to sing on Jack Benny's program. Benny, caught having a beauty treatment at the shop Gracie visits, tries to keep the secret from the press, and Gracie uses the threat of telling the newspapers to press him. George's singing is heard at the house, and Benny is unsure about it. The episode is a broadcast from CBS and NBC Radio, first aired on November 2, 1943, and features Gracie Allen, Bea Benaderet, Meredith Willson and Mel Blanc.
The Burns home and a Hollywood beauty shop, in the morning and later in the day.

Listen for: Gracie's escalating schemes to get George on Jack Benny's program, and Benny's reaction when he learns George is a singer.
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.
