What happens
Judge Hooker and Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve plan a reception in honor of Dolores Del Rey, a dance teacher newly arrived in Summerfield who is opening a dancing school. The two men hope to introduce her to the town's prominent society figures, but they struggle to fill the guest list, and their invitations stir up friction among the townspeople. The Great Gildersleeve is a long-running comedy series, and this episode aired on NBC on November 19, 1944, starring Harold Peary, Willard Waterman, Lillian Randolph and Lurene Tuttle.

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.
