What happens
The Great Gildersleeve and his family plan to attend the Easter sunrise service on Cedar Hill, but the Great Gildersleeve, who has no new Easter suit, first declines to go. Friends' teasing and a sudden change of heart send him looking for a new suit and a way up the hill.

The 1952 episode of the NBC series The Great Gildersleeve stars Harold Peary, with Willard Waterman, Lillian Randolph and Lurene Tuttle in the cast, and aired on April 9, 1952.

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.
