What happens
Leroy Forrester is jealous when his friend Brenda, who is staying with the Bullards, brings a visitor from Baltimore to his dinner party, and the visitor turns out to be a boy named Gerald Mason. Gerald dances, plays the violin and is polished in manner, while Leroy feels outshone. Great Gildersleeve, Leroy's uncle, is embarrassed by his nephew's behavior and decides to tutor Leroy in boxing, dancing, politeness and piano. This is an episode of the radio series The Great Gildersleeve, first broadcast on NBC on March 16, 1949, starring Harold Peary.
The Gildersleeve house and neighborhood in Summerfield, with a visit to Floyd's barbershop and Peavey's store.
Characters: Great Gildersleeve, Leroy Forrester, Marjorie, Brenda, Gerald Mason, Bertie, Floyd, Judge Hooker
Listen for: Leroy's attempts at dancing and piano, and Gildersleeve's lessons in politeness.
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.
