What happens
At Duffy's Tavern, Archie and Eddie prepare a party for Duffy and his wife's 33rd wedding anniversary, while the tavern fills with guests including Pat O'Brien. Duffy has forgotten the anniversary and is missing, and his wife is upset. Archie asks Pat O'Brien to help keep the evening going, and the guests gather for dinner and speeches. The episode is part of the Duffy's Tavern Singles series from the OTRR collection, originally broadcast on March 16, 1945, on CBS, NBC Blue and NBC, starring Ed Gardner, Shirley Booth, Charlie Cantor and Florence Halop.

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.
