What happens
The Great Gildersleeve is a radio comedy series, and this episode first aired on NBC on November 6, 1946, starring Harold Peary. Gildersleeve's niece Marjorie holds a pajama party with three girlfriends, Francie, Mary Louise and Kay, and the noisy evening strains Gildersleeve's patience. Marjorie, Francie and the others discuss Francie's claim to be secretly engaged, and Marjorie begins to act older than her years. Gildersleeve tries to keep order in the house while the girls make plans of their own.

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.
