Speaker 3 (00:14):
This time presents from Hollywood, California, Harold Perry as the
Great Gilder Sleeve. Written by Leonard L. Levinson, today's program
is dedicated to the citizens of Guildersleeve, Connecticut, who are
today celebrating their one hundredth anniversary. We'll hear from the
Great Gilder Sleeve in just a moment, But first, I
(00:37):
wonder how much you know about vitamins and other important
food elements so essential to our health. Well, with all
the talk about proper nutrition these days, you probably know
quite a lot. Yes, you know how important it is
to serve your family the right kind of foods, protective
foods that are nourishing and wholesome. That's why you should
know about delicious, wholesome parquet margarine made by Craft. This
(01:01):
quality marginin, called park, is a protective food of exceptionally
high nutritional value. It is one of the best energy
foods you can serve and important to everyone who knows
how essential vitamins are. Every pound of park marginin contains
nine thousand units of vitamin A, making it a reliable
winter and summer source of this valuable vitamin. Best of all,
(01:23):
Park Margin has such a pleasing, delicate taste that your
family is bound to like it, whether you use it
at the table for baking or for pan frying. Yes,
you won't have to urge them to eat all of
this nutritious food they need so for nourishment and flavor,
serve your family economical park marginin. Just ask for park
(01:43):
par kay and remember park is their craft product. And
now for the adventures of the great Guilders.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
Do you know, Madreie? It's really none of my business.
But what's for lunch? All?
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Cream chicken again? Why can't we have ham sandwiches for

Speaker 1 (11:12):
A little bull? Weavil doorbell? Huh?
Speaker 5 (11:16):
He gives me a pain too, say uncle mort Does
Martori know Dora Bell is making a play for Ted Wills?
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Why do you think she left the table because she
hates ham sandwiches?
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Gee, I had a feeling that Dame was poison.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
When did you get this feeling?
Speaker 2 (11:29):
The minute you gave her my room.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
By George, I wish we'd left the frogs in the bathtub.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
I can put them back.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
No, not that, leeboy. We'll fall back on that only
if everything else fails.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Uncle, What this door Bell's given Marjorie? The old sabotage?
Speaker 5 (11:48):
Yes, we can't count on sister do anything about it.
She's too proud to fight back. So we gotta do something.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
That's right, We've got to do something. What have we
got to do?
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Let me see, I've got it and that's foolproof.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Oh no, no, what do you mean? No, let's hear it.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
What's the use? This idea? Work like a charm?
Speaker 1 (12:06):
But you wouldn't stand for Leroy. In the past few days,
I've stood for a lot more than I can stand for,
and I guess I can stand for a little more.
What is it?
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Well, if some.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
High powered guy stepped in and gave Ted a lot
of competition with Dora Bell, I.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Bet you get rid of Ted.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
You're a bright boy, Leroy.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Especially if this other man was a bigger fast than Ted,
somebody older with plenty of dolls marblous.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
But who could we get.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
I've got them all picked down already, you have?
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Who is he? You? Who you?
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Stop you?
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Leroy? What do you mean me?
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Gee?
Speaker 5 (12:45):
Will you answered the description perfectly? Uncle morph Look, you're
older than Ted, aren't you?
Speaker 1 (12:50):
I am?
Speaker 2 (12:51):
You're wealthy? Other here is and you're handsomer.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
I am.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
Who you are?
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Then? Why have you got your fingers cross?
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Why she says you look like Ronald Coleman. I heard
of myself.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Oh no, let's not kid ourselves, Leroy. She's half my
age and I'm twice her weight.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
But she's tired of.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
All these young skinny sprout Uncle Morse. He wants to
hook a rich guy.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Oh, the practical type.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Now, I'll do all the hard work convincing her.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
You're a millionaire, and all you have to do is
be nice to work, give her things, take her lot
to the movies, the mushy ones.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
But I don't like mushy movies. I like Hapolong Cassidy.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
You've gotta do this, per my, Uncle Morse, How about us?
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Why George? I almost would if she'd only stop using
that overpowering perfume of hers. I can't stand it.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Oh I can fix that in no time. Oh it's easy.
I'll just sneak into a room. For half a bottle
out and fill it up again with water.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Keep this up, my boy, and someday you'll be well.
Just keep it up.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Then you go it. Huh, I remember saw Judy is
our uncle. Uncle.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
You're right, Lee Wally, I'll do it. But something tells
me he would have been a lot easier if we'd
have put those frogs in her bed.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
I ain't all a bell.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
Hello, sugar food, ted call just now, but I thought
you were out with Uncle Morrish. Oh, I bet if
I'm ted back. I've been neglecting him shamefully lately.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Oh it's no use calling. He was going right out, say?
Is he and Uncle mortalone?
Speaker 4 (14:25):
I think he's resting in his room till dinner time.
We went to a movie this afternoon. Wanted you see
hop long case today. I only went along to please Hams.
I think Uncle Morrish's doing all he can to please
you too. Yes, I wonder why he's doing it.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
Oh you'll find out someday, you think I will?
Speaker 8 (14:40):

Speaker 6 (14:40):
So?
Speaker 4 (14:41):
How au jus sweet? Your uncle's are very interesting, man leroy.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
Yeah, you know he started out as a boy with
only one lobster post, and now he's got millions of
lobster pops.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
No dollars. Oh I never knew that. I thought he
was well off, but I never dreamed he was a
million there.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
Well, don't let on he he doesn't like people to
like him just because he has loads of money.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
As if anybody whoooo. He's just charming and lovable and
sweet and hindsome all by his own self. How did
he make his money?
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Leroy?
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Why are hidden enterprises enterprising? Yes, he's got him scattered
all over the country.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Quite kind of enterprises.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Oh, there is various, you know, various?
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Of course.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Uncle has always said he's trade all of his wealth,
just not to be so lonesome.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
He did, eh, And you know something, Dorabelle, quite sigodbye.
Since he met you, he's been a different man, too bad.
He's so much older than you are. Oh, not too much,
and be goods what of it?
Speaker 2 (15:41):
And you're interested in somebody else?
Speaker 4 (15:43):
I leave Roy forrest or whatever gave you that idea.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
So I don't know you. And Ted's head wills.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
Why he's Madre's feller. I'm not interested in him. And
when he calls up, you keep telling.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
Mama out you mean you're gonna brush him off.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
I will not let him take care of his clothes himself.
My long out, angel cake, while I'll fix up for dinner.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Okay, how did it.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
Go Oswell, Mickey Rooney couldn't have done it any better.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Yes, and you think it's gonna work?
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Oh, if you do your hair? Remember from here on
it's up to you.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
I'll try my best. It isn't easy, you know, playing
Paddy Cake with that little rattle brain, taking that darn
dog of hers out for a walk every afternoon.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Yeah, say, how do you keep Tuffy in line?
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Well, we go to the park, I buy him for
Hamburger sandwiches and we both take an app under a tree.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
Well, I think Dora Bell's about ready to give Ted
the gate good.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
That'll make Minder happy.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Say you gotta go in and try to cheer Marge up.
She's been looking.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Terrible lately, by George, you're right, I'll do it right now.
There's another favorite. I'd like to ask Leroy, see if
you can dilute Dora Bell's perfume just once more? There
it's me Uncle mort Does he mind if I come in? I? Oh,
(17:14):
what's wrong, Marjorie?
Speaker 8 (17:16):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (17:18):
Sometimes people are terrible disappointments.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Oh, there are plenty. Isn't nice people in this world?
Speaker 4 (17:25):
They don't seem to be nice first, then somebody else
comes along and you see them and they're true colors.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Sometimes people get their heads turned by other people.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
These other people shouldn't be allowed to come between people
and the people alike.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
They shouldn't go back home?
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Was it? No? No, my dear, time wounds all heels.
Why why before you know it, you'll be smiling and
laughing and happy again. But I'm happy now, yes, yes,
(18:12):
of course I can see that. Here's a handkerchief.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
It blow hard, my dear. Now, don't worry and just
leave it to your uncle more. I surely have, Marjorie,
everything's going to be all right. Sure, I'll let you
know a little secret. I've got a date tonight with
Dora Bell.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
What you too?
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Come on, how could you?
Speaker 1 (19:03):
But I'm telling you, Leroy, I can't go through with
this another evening. Dora Bell's had me doing the rumba
and the conga and the tango and the fandango till
I walk with a Spanish accent. And tonight we're going
to the country club dance and She's gonna teach me
how to be a jitterbug. If I could only tell
her what I thought of her, it'd be a happy man.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Tad last much longer.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Oh we'll neither, can I. Now you went upstairs and
get my hat. The idea a jitterbug in my age. Hello, Hello,
mister Gildersleeve, This is Ted. Oh Hello, Ted?
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Are you alone?
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Let me look? Yes?
Speaker 3 (19:39):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Well? This is rather hard for me to say, mister Guildersleeve.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
But I guess I've been pretty much of a fool.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
That's a pretty good guess. There's no use in going over.
Speaker 7 (19:49):
The whole thing now.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
But I've got to see Marjorie alone and try to
get her to forgive me.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
An excellent idea. I'm taking Dorabell out of the house anyway.
Oh you're a pell, mister Gildersleeve.
Speaker 6 (19:57):
And don't think I don't know what you've done to
open my eyes.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
I wish I could keep mine open. I don't ever
seem to get any sleep anymore. That's Southern Bell has
put me through the wringer. I can sympathize with you. Huh. Yes,
it wasn't for you, I'd never be in this mess.
When shall I come around just as soon as you

Speaker 3 (26:33):
Great Guilder Slave will be with us again in a
few minutes. But first I have a confession to make you. See,
although I am the announcer on a food program, I'm
no cooking expert. No, I'm more interested in eating good
food than in preparing it.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
But I do know this.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
The most important quality in food, the quality that makes
you a good cook, is the flavor you give to
the dishes you serve. And that's the reason more and
more women are using Parquet margarine. You see, Park is
the new Kraft margarine that tastes so good. Yes, women
everywhere are discovering that Park is a delicious margarine that
can be used so many ways. Served at the table,
(27:10):
for instance, Park is sure to impress everyone with its delicate,
satisfying taste. You'll find Park is a luscious seasoning melted
over hot vegetables for baking. Parkue margarine is a genuine
flavor shortening that makes cookies, cakes, and pie crusts that
fairly melt in your mouth. And then there's pan frying. Yes,
Park adds flavor to pan fried foods too, and it
(27:32):
doesn't spatter or stick to the pans. And remember, Park
margarine is a nutritious food that contains vitamin A. Yet
it's economical tool. So next time you order, ask for
delicious economical Park. Pa Ar kay, just say I want Park,
the delicious margarine that's made by Kraft. Oh, mister Guildersleeve, Yes,
(28:03):
mister Bennon, I'd like to read a resolution we received
from Guildersleeve, Connecticut.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Oh, well, go right ahead.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Here it is whereas the Town of Portland, celebrating its
one hundredth anniversary, desires to honor that part of the
town known as Guildersleeve and the person who has chosen
that name in providing joy and entertainment to the nation.
And whereas the first guilder Sleeve built the fleet which
helped win the War of eighteen twelve, and the Great
guilder Sleeve of the modern airways is building happiness for
(28:29):
the American people. We the Centennial Committee, do solemnly declare,
and herewith a point, the Great guilder Sleeve, Honorary Mayor
of the village of Guildersleeve in the Town of Portland,
State of Connecticut, given under my hand and seal on
this nineteenth day of September nineteen hundred and forty one.
Joseph P.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Brandsfield Chairman, Well, well, I'm deeply honored, and let me
say from one Guildersleave to another the old proverb about
the first hundred years being the hard this is true,
then the next hundred years will be easier. Good night.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Original music heard on this program was composed and conducted
by William Randolph. This is Jim Bannon speaking for the
Class Cheese Company and reminding you that if the community
in which you live does not observe daylight Saving time,
the great guilder Slave will come to you one hour later,
beginning next week. This is the National Broadcasting Company
Craft presents the Great Gilder Sleeve.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Each week at.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
This time presents from Hollywood, California, Harold Perry as the
Great Gilder Sleeve. Written by Leonard L. Levinson, today's program
is dedicated to the citizens of Guildersleeve, Connecticut, who are
today celebrating their one hundredth anniversary. We'll hear from the
Great Gilder Sleeve in just a moment, But first, I
(00:37):
wonder how much you know about vitamins and other important
food elements so essential to our health. Well, with all
the talk about proper nutrition these days, you probably know
quite a lot. Yes, you know how important it is
to serve your family the right kind of foods, protective
foods that are nourishing and wholesome. That's why you should
know about delicious, wholesome parquet margarine made by Craft. This
(01:01):
quality marginin, called park, is a protective food of exceptionally
high nutritional value. It is one of the best energy
foods you can serve and important to everyone who knows
how essential vitamins are. Every pound of park marginin contains
nine thousand units of vitamin A, making it a reliable
winter and summer source of this valuable vitamin. Best of all,
(01:23):
Park Margin has such a pleasing, delicate taste that your
family is bound to like it, whether you use it
at the table for baking or for pan frying. Yes,
you won't have to urge them to eat all of
this nutritious food they need so for nourishment and flavor,
serve your family economical park marginin. Just ask for park
(01:43):
par kay and remember park is their craft product. And
now for the adventures of the great Guilders.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
What's the use? This idea? Work like a charm?
Speaker 1 (12:06):
But you wouldn't stand for Leroy. In the past few days,
I've stood for a lot more than I can stand for,
and I guess I can stand for a little more.
What is it?
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Well, if some.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
High powered guy stepped in and gave Ted a lot
of competition with Dora Bell, I.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Bet you get rid of Ted.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
You're a bright boy, Leroy.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Especially if this other man was a bigger fast than Ted,
somebody older with plenty of dolls marblous.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
But who could we get.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
I've got them all picked down already, you have?
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Who is he? You? Who you?
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Stop you?
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Leroy? What do you mean me?
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Gee?
Speaker 5 (12:45):
Will you answered the description perfectly? Uncle morph Look, you're
older than Ted, aren't you?
Speaker 1 (12:50):
I am?
Speaker 2 (12:51):
You're wealthy? Other here is and you're handsomer.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
I am.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
Who you are?
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Then? Why have you got your fingers cross?
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Why she says you look like Ronald Coleman. I heard
of myself.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Oh no, let's not kid ourselves, Leroy. She's half my
age and I'm twice her weight.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
But she's tired of.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
All these young skinny sprout Uncle Morse. He wants to
hook a rich guy.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Oh, the practical type.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Now, I'll do all the hard work convincing her.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
You're a millionaire, and all you have to do is
be nice to work, give her things, take her lot
to the movies, the mushy ones.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
But I don't like mushy movies. I like Hapolong Cassidy.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
You've gotta do this, per my, Uncle Morse, How about us?
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Why George? I almost would if she'd only stop using
that overpowering perfume of hers. I can't stand it.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Oh I can fix that in no time. Oh it's easy.
I'll just sneak into a room. For half a bottle
out and fill it up again with water.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Keep this up, my boy, and someday you'll be well.
Just keep it up.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Then you go it. Huh, I remember saw Judy is
our uncle. Uncle.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
You're right, Lee Wally, I'll do it. But something tells
me he would have been a lot easier if we'd
have put those frogs in her bed.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
I ain't all a bell.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
Hello, sugar food, ted call just now, but I thought
you were out with Uncle Morrish. Oh, I bet if
I'm ted back. I've been neglecting him shamefully lately.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Oh it's no use calling. He was going right out, say?
Is he and Uncle mortalone?
Speaker 4 (14:25):
I think he's resting in his room till dinner time.
We went to a movie this afternoon. Wanted you see
hop long case today. I only went along to please Hams.
I think Uncle Morrish's doing all he can to please
you too. Yes, I wonder why he's doing it.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
Oh you'll find out someday, you think I will?
Speaker 8 (14:40):
I hope?
Speaker 6 (14:40):
So?
Speaker 4 (14:41):
How au jus sweet? Your uncle's are very interesting, man leroy.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
Yeah, you know he started out as a boy with
only one lobster post, and now he's got millions of
lobster pops.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
No dollars. Oh I never knew that. I thought he
was well off, but I never dreamed he was a
million there.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
Well, don't let on he he doesn't like people to
like him just because he has loads of money.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
As if anybody whoooo. He's just charming and lovable and
sweet and hindsome all by his own self. How did
he make his money?
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Leroy?
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Why are hidden enterprises enterprising? Yes, he's got him scattered
all over the country.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Quite kind of enterprises.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Oh, there is various, you know, various?
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Of course.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Uncle has always said he's trade all of his wealth,
just not to be so lonesome.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
He did, eh, And you know something, Dorabelle, quite sigodbye.
Since he met you, he's been a different man, too bad.
He's so much older than you are. Oh, not too much,
and be goods what of it?
Speaker 2 (15:41):
And you're interested in somebody else?
Speaker 4 (15:43):
I leave Roy forrest or whatever gave you that idea.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
So I don't know you. And Ted's head wills.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
Why he's Madre's feller. I'm not interested in him. And
when he calls up, you keep telling.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
Mama out you mean you're gonna brush him off.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
I will not let him take care of his clothes himself.
My long out, angel cake, while I'll fix up for dinner.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Okay, how did it.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
Go Oswell, Mickey Rooney couldn't have done it any better.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Yes, and you think it's gonna work?
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Oh, if you do your hair? Remember from here on
it's up to you.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
I'll try my best. It isn't easy, you know, playing
Paddy Cake with that little rattle brain, taking that darn
dog of hers out for a walk every afternoon.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Yeah, say, how do you keep Tuffy in line?
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Well, we go to the park, I buy him for
Hamburger sandwiches and we both take an app under a tree.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
Well, I think Dora Bell's about ready to give Ted
the gate good.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
That'll make Minder happy.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Say you gotta go in and try to cheer Marge up.
She's been looking.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Terrible lately, by George, you're right, I'll do it right now.
There's another favorite. I'd like to ask Leroy, see if
you can dilute Dora Bell's perfume just once more? There
it's me Uncle mort Does he mind if I come in? I? Oh,
(17:14):
what's wrong, Marjorie?
Speaker 8 (17:16):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (17:18):
Sometimes people are terrible disappointments.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Oh, there are plenty. Isn't nice people in this world?
Speaker 4 (17:25):
They don't seem to be nice first, then somebody else
comes along and you see them and they're true colors.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Sometimes people get their heads turned by other people.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
These other people shouldn't be allowed to come between people
and the people alike.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
They shouldn't go back home?
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Was it? No? No, my dear, time wounds all heels.
Why why before you know it, you'll be smiling and
laughing and happy again. But I'm happy now, yes, yes,
(18:12):
of course I can see that. Here's a handkerchief.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
It blow hard, my dear. Now, don't worry and just
leave it to your uncle more. I surely have, Marjorie,
everything's going to be all right. Sure, I'll let you
know a little secret. I've got a date tonight with
Dora Bell.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
What you too?
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Come on, how could you?
Speaker 1 (19:03):
But I'm telling you, Leroy, I can't go through with
this another evening. Dora Bell's had me doing the rumba
and the conga and the tango and the fandango till
I walk with a Spanish accent. And tonight we're going
to the country club dance and She's gonna teach me
how to be a jitterbug. If I could only tell
her what I thought of her, it'd be a happy man.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Tad last much longer.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Oh we'll neither, can I. Now you went upstairs and
get my hat. The idea a jitterbug in my age. Hello, Hello,
mister Gildersleeve, This is Ted. Oh Hello, Ted?
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Are you alone?
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Let me look? Yes?
Speaker 3 (19:39):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Well? This is rather hard for me to say, mister Guildersleeve.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
But I guess I've been pretty much of a fool.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
That's a pretty good guess. There's no use in going over.
Speaker 7 (19:49):
The whole thing now.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
But I've got to see Marjorie alone and try to
get her to forgive me.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
An excellent idea. I'm taking Dorabell out of the house anyway.
Oh you're a pell, mister Gildersleeve.
Speaker 6 (19:57):
And don't think I don't know what you've done to
open my eyes.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
I wish I could keep mine open. I don't ever
seem to get any sleep anymore. That's Southern Bell has
put me through the wringer. I can sympathize with you. Huh. Yes,
it wasn't for you, I'd never be in this mess.
When shall I come around just as soon as you
can get here. Dora Bell and I were supposed to
leave an hour ago. She said, be down in a minute.
Now I see, And when she does, I'm gonna tell laughing,
oh there you are, do bella. Goodbye, mister mconigag, goodbye,
(20:25):
go bye, go bye. That was mister McGonagall.
Speaker 4 (20:28):

Speaker 1 (20:31):
Yeah? No, And now, young lady, there's something I've been
waiting to tell you ever since you walked into this house. Yeah.

I couldn't find your head anywhere, but.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
I better get myself so we can get going. Let
me tie you was down, I'll tell you on the
way over to the house. Let me tie.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
I can't understand your uncle. He's been so droopy lightly?
Speaker 5 (20:49):
Why that's because she's in love with you. Don't you
get droopy when you're in love?
Speaker 4 (20:55):
Come to think of it, I do, sure?
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Why? Why? Right now?
Speaker 4 (20:58):
You're a little droopyhre am, I leaver?
Speaker 2 (21:01):

your uncle mat really and truly.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Has a fever? Phoning? Why he was handing me? Only
just now?
Speaker 5 (21:11):
If I could only tell Dora Bell what I thought
about her, I'd be a happy man.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Oh, Leroy, he must love me. That's right, Miss dollra Bell.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
Call me Auntie Dorabelle Leroy, and you can tell Uncle
that we don't need to go through any proposal business

Speaker 3 (24:29):
The orchestra has to shorted admission right now, Dorabell.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
Oh, here it comes.
Speaker 6 (25:28):
Not so long ago, some.
Speaker 7 (25:30):
Afield was visited by a beautiful vision of loveliness from
down south.

Yeah, she charmed the hearts of all the boys. But
there is only one man who is gonna be happy

to become my wife.
Speaker 6 (26:11):
You what if your wife? Hey, I've been children. Thank goodness, the.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
Great Guilder Slave will be with us again in a
few minutes. But first I have a confession to make you. See,
although I am the announcer on a food program, I'm
no cooking expert. No, I'm more interested in eating good
food than in preparing it.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
But I do know this.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
The most important quality in food, the quality that makes
you a good cook, is the flavor you give to
the dishes you serve. And that's the reason more and
more women are using Parquet margarine. You see, Park is
the new Kraft margarine that tastes so good. Yes, women
everywhere are discovering that Park is a delicious margarine that
can be used so many ways. Served at the table,
(27:10):
for instance, Park is sure to impress everyone with its delicate,
satisfying taste. You'll find Park is a luscious seasoning melted
over hot vegetables for baking. Parkue margarine is a genuine
flavor shortening that makes cookies, cakes, and pie crusts that
fairly melt in your mouth. And then there's pan frying. Yes,
Park adds flavor to pan fried foods too, and it
(27:32):
doesn't spatter or stick to the pans. And remember, Park
margarine is a nutritious food that contains vitamin A. Yet
it's economical tool. So next time you order, ask for
delicious economical Park. Pa Ar kay, just say I want Park,
the delicious margarine that's made by Kraft. Oh, mister Guildersleeve, Yes,
(28:03):
mister Bennon, I'd like to read a resolution we received
from Guildersleeve, Connecticut.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Oh, well, go right ahead.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Here it is whereas the Town of Portland, celebrating its
one hundredth anniversary, desires to honor that part of the
town known as Guildersleeve and the person who has chosen
that name in providing joy and entertainment to the nation.
And whereas the first guilder Sleeve built the fleet which
helped win the War of eighteen twelve, and the Great
guilder Sleeve of the modern airways is building happiness for
(28:29):
the American people. We the Centennial Committee, do solemnly declare,
and herewith a point, the Great guilder Sleeve, Honorary Mayor
of the village of Guildersleeve in the Town of Portland,
State of Connecticut, given under my hand and seal on
this nineteenth day of September nineteen hundred and forty one.
Joseph P.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Brandsfield Chairman, Well, well, I'm deeply honored, and let me
say from one Guildersleave to another the old proverb about
the first hundred years being the hard this is true,
then the next hundred years will be easier. Good night.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Original music heard on this program was composed and conducted
by William Randolph. This is Jim Bannon speaking for the
Class Cheese Company and reminding you that if the community
in which you live does not observe daylight Saving time,
the great guilder Slave will come to you one hour later,
beginning next week. This is the National Broadcasting Company
