What happens
Victor Goke reads a letter from his friend Homer McDance, who has suggested that Victor perform a solo march for the inmates of the Missouri State Home for the Tall at their Christmas party. Victor's wife Sade and their son Russell listen as Victor, flattered by the invitation, explains how he imagines the performance would go, with a short introduction, a speech on the history of marching and a few turns around the stage. The family discusses the compliment and the upcoming trip. The Vic and Sade series is set in a small household, and this episode aired on April 7, 1944, with Bernardine Flynn and Bill Idelson in the lead roles.

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.
