Speaker 1 (06:43):
A business that well, it's it's sort of a nerve.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
It's sort of nerve racking. When I'm working here. It
feels like I'm on a marry go around. Uh, you
work in Los Angeles or Hollywood? Have come place?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Yes, I worked in Hollywood quite a bit. I worked
in New York quite a bit too. In Chicago. When
I finish my work, well, I I just have a
feeling that I'd like to get away, So I come
up here and enjoy this little place. Yes, a few
of you, huh, yeah, you know.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I find that if a man will get away from
his work part of the time, just think without the.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Turmoil of worry going here and there, Well, it does
you a lot of good.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Yeah, that resnue anybody good. That's what I preach all
the time.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
But they can't rest too much. But after you hit
the ball and work night and day, and it's nice.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
To get away. Yeah, the man got to have them
rest already, now, that's right.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
And a lot of them think though that they don't
need it. But when I work, I work pretty hard.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Now.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
I've seen some of my friends try to keep going,
and I've seen them crack.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Them to the strain. You know, boys, When I come
up here, I find that I.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Can think better. I get something out of life that
I didn't know existence. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Yeah, that Hollywood is a busy place, all right. That's
Hollywood is a busy place.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
I guess a lot of people think it's sort of
a playground. A lot of people work awfully hard in Hollywood,
and I've seen them. I've seen the work there drive
them all most insane.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Yeah, that moving bit of business is a tough business. Yes,
I'm fred You're right.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
I guess when a man, some of them people down
there that are acting and all that in the move
via business, or when they get on the stage and
stuff day is under the screen, then that is a steam. Well,
you know, I don't know that there's any other business.
It takes up twenty four hours of a man's time
every day when he's working. The boy is this little
place up here? Well, I think every man in his
heart would like to come to such a place someday
(08:33):
and spend some time.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Of course, some people.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Might not like the dead silence of the night or
the quietness of the day.

The character of Walter Houston was played by mister Walter

sincere appreciation for his kindness and appearing on the program tonight.
On this the first night of Amos Andy's eighth year
on the air for Petsident Father.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
The Pepster Company.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Wishes to express this gratitude and appreciation for the loyalty
and fine showmanship of these two boys. May we on
behalf of you, the Amos and ninety audience salute them
with cordial good wishes for their continued success. Now I
know that mister Houston will be happy to say a
few words to the Amos and Andy listeners at this time.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Mister Houston, thank you friends.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
First, I want to tell you that it has been
a great pleasure for me to work with the two boys,
whom I have listened to for many years, whenever the
opportunity presents itself. I am barely listened to Amos and Andy.
This is their anniversary, starting of their eighth year on
the network. I have read their biography. We need you
know this, but for the benefit of those who may
not be familiar.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
With the fact, here they are.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
These boys started working with Colored Dialect in January nineteen
twenty six under the name of Sam and Henry. This
book program, which was similar to Amos and Andrey, was
broadcast in the early days of radio over GN in Chicago.
After two years of Samon Henry, the boys changed their
names to Amos and Andy. In other words, Amos and
(11:08):
Andy was actually started in March nineteen twenty eight, a
broadcast at that time overstationing WMAQ in Chicago, with additional
stations added by means of electrical transcription. But it were
seven years ago. Tonight they started on what might be
called the big time. As you all know, they have
established a record in radio broadcasting. They have received today
(11:31):
many congratulatory messages from people in every walks of life.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
They deserve it.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
To night's episode, in which I had the pleasure of participating,
was there two thousand, three hundred and ninety fifth day
of broadcasting, as you know, the Boy's broadcast twice each day.
I think these boys should be congratulated on a long
record of daily broadcasting.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Of these episodes, which carries with it a.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Streak of not only human interest, but a philosophy which
I have often enjoyed myself. These humorous, their humor first
episodes have been enjoyed many people for an awful long time.
I congratulate these boys not only upon their ability to
impersonate these characters, all of which they do themselves, but
for writing this material each day. They are seated by me,
now swimming in their chairs now I'm going to ask
(12:16):
them to say.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Just a few words. We've been a pleasure to have
had the opportunity of talking to you. I thank you merely.
Our angis landing.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Well, that's very nice of you, mister Houston. And it's
certainly nice of it I say all those sweet things.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Yeah you me, I was bushing. It ain't nobody ever
hit me bush on the radio. Well, our program is
almost up.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
We just want to tell our listeners how grateful we
are to have passed another milestone and radio broadcasting. We've
been grateful to the cooperation we've received here in Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
We want to thank Major Law for.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
His kindness, the Pepsid and Company for their nice message,
mister Houston for his cordial greeting, and we want to
tell you how grateful we are you listeners who make
these anniversaries possible.

feeling that I'd like to get away, So I come
up here and enjoy this little place. Yes, a few
of you, huh, yeah, you know.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I find that if a man will get away from
his work part of the time, just think without the.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Turmoil of worry going here and there, Well, it does
you a lot of good.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Yeah, that resnue anybody good. That's what I preach all
the time.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
But they can't rest too much. But after you hit
the ball and work night and day, and it's nice.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
To get away. Yeah, the man got to have them
rest already, now, that's right.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
And a lot of them think though that they don't
need it. But when I work, I work pretty hard.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Now.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
I've seen some of my friends try to keep going,
and I've seen them crack.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Them to the strain. You know, boys, When I come
up here, I find that I.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Can think better. I get something out of life that
I didn't know existence. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Yeah, that Hollywood is a busy place, all right. That's
Hollywood is a busy place.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
I guess a lot of people think it's sort of
a playground. A lot of people work awfully hard in Hollywood,
and I've seen them. I've seen the work there drive
them all most insane.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Yeah, that moving bit of business is a tough business. Yes,
I'm fred You're right.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
I guess when a man, some of them people down
there that are acting and all that in the move
via business, or when they get on the stage and
stuff day is under the screen, then that is a steam. Well,
you know, I don't know that there's any other business.
It takes up twenty four hours of a man's time
every day when he's working. The boy is this little
place up here? Well, I think every man in his
heart would like to come to such a place someday
(08:33):
and spend some time.

a great pleasure for me to work with the two boys,
whom I have listened to for many years, whenever the
opportunity presents itself. I am barely listened to Amos and Andy.
This is their anniversary, starting of their eighth year on

know this, but for the benefit of those who may
not be familiar.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
With the fact, here they are.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
These boys started working with Colored Dialect in January nineteen
twenty six under the name of Sam and Henry. This
book program, which was similar to Amos and Andrey, was
broadcast in the early days of radio over GN in Chicago.
After two years of Samon Henry, the boys changed their
names to Amos and Andy. In other words, Amos and
(11:08):
Andy was actually started in March nineteen twenty eight, a
broadcast at that time overstationing WMAQ in Chicago, with additional
stations added by means of electrical transcription. But it were
seven years ago. Tonight they started on what might be
called the big time. As you all know, they have
established a record in radio broadcasting. They have received today
(11:31):
many congratulatory messages from people in every walks of life.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
They deserve it.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
To night's episode, in which I had the pleasure of participating,
was there two thousand, three hundred and ninety fifth day
of broadcasting, as you know, the Boy's broadcast twice each day.
I think these boys should be congratulated on a long
record of daily broadcasting.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Of these episodes, which carries with it a.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Streak of not only human interest, but a philosophy which
I have often enjoyed myself. These humorous, their humor first
episodes have been enjoyed many people for an awful long time.
I congratulate these boys not only upon their ability to
impersonate these characters, all of which they do themselves, but
for writing this material each day. They are seated by me,
now swimming in their chairs now I'm going to ask
(12:16):
them to say.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Just a few words. We've been a pleasure to have
had the opportunity of talking to you. I thank you merely.
Our angis landing.
