Speaker 1 (00:01):
Craft presents the Great Gilder Sleeve each week at this
time from Hollywood, California. Craft presents Harold Perry as the
(00:22):
Great Guilder Sleeve.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Written by Leonard L.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Levinson, we'll hear from the Great Gilder Sleeve in just
a moment. But first, even though winter doesn't officially begin
till December twenty second, it's here right now for most
of us. Yes, and on cold blustery days, plenty of
good nourishing food is all important. I mean food that
(00:45):
supplies energy, food that produces body worn, food that keeps
us going despite the weather. Now, Park Margarine, the delicious
vegetable margarinen made by Craft, is just such a food.
Park margarine is one of the best sources of food
energy you can serve, and that means it's tops in
producing body warmth too, and equally important in winter time.
(01:07):
Park is rich in vitamin A. Yes, every pound of
Park margarine contains nine thousand units of vitamin A. But
Park margarine isn't just good for you. It's mighty good
tasting too, whether you serve it at the table or
use it.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
For baking and pan frying.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
So for all these reasons, wholesome, economical Parkue margarine deserves
a place on your shopping list. Why not order a
pound or two tomorrow? Just ask your food dealer for
park p a r. Kay, it's the margarine that's made
by Craft. And now let's visit our friend, their great
(01:52):
yilder sleeve.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Gee, welcome warm who certainly worked too. Swell movies, Yeah,
thanks for taking us.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
Did you enjoy them?
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Well, Marjorie, I'll have to confess I fell asleep in
the middle of the first feature and woke up toward
the end of the second one. You did, yes, leroy.
Those sixty five cents seats are too darn comfortable. But
tell me, did Betty Davis finally marry hop Along Cassidy?
Speaker 4 (02:23):
They weren't even in the same picture.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Oh it weren't. Well, then he must have been singing
to a blonde horse. Now I'm all confused. Who wasn't
the defeated Notre Dame in the newsreel, Tarzan or Popeye?
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Well there was Charlie's aunt and he wasn't in the
news reel. He's in the picture coming next week.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Oh that's the trouble with the movies. You can't sleep
there in peace. But they need her more actresses like
Betty Gravely. Yes, now there's a girl of beautiful, possibly potential.
She'll get somewhere, that young lady.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Well, it's almost midnight, so we all Betty get well,
look at a bird came?
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Yeah, where did that come from?
Speaker 3 (03:03):
There's a canarian side?
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Why.
Speaker 6 (03:05):
I don't understand if this wasn't here when we left.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
Maybe Bertie brought it here.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Yes, let's find out. Oh Bertie, Yes, miss gil Slee,
it's Bertie. Whose canary is this?
Speaker 7 (03:14):
It's yours, mister Gilflee, it is. Yes, So you just
won Napoleon in a raffle Napoleon?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
I did? When did it happen? While I was asleep
at the movies?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Nausa?
Speaker 7 (03:24):
At my lodge?
Speaker 8 (03:26):
This is the night the Missterious and Bewildered Order of
the Daughters of Clear Patrol whole their weekly business meeting
a shag contest.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
But couldn't have been there?
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Here was with us?
Speaker 7 (03:35):
Yes, well, your uncle bought a ticket on our big raffle.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Oh, yes, now I remember, but I thought you said
the drawing was for a beautiful big set of dishes.
Speaker 8 (03:43):
No, sir, the lodge is raising money to buy itself
a set of dishes. But the prize they're given away
is it canary bird?
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Well this is mighty nice to win on a fifty
cent chance. First time I have won a prize since
I wore my woolen underwear to that rumba contest. I'd
like to thank whoever it was that drew up the
lucky number.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Bertie.
Speaker 8 (04:04):
Well, it just so happens that the drawing was done
by the grand exhausted ruler of the Pyramids, and it
also just so happens that that happens to be me.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
Why Bertie, of course it was just a coincidence.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
But did anybody say.
Speaker 8 (04:20):
Anything, No, ma'am, But the show was a lot of
black looks.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Hey, this Napoleon's a pretty feisty little bird.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
Will he sing?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Of course he will.
Speaker 8 (04:37):
Only the man we brought him from says that when
two three days, he's got to get customized to his
new surroundings, and after that he'll sing just like this.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Yeah, Eddie Nelson, Oh I see, yes, Well it's time
for all of us to get to bed. You better
find a claw someplace, Bertie, and drape Napoleon for the night.
Speaker 7 (04:54):
Oh, we don't have to do that, mister gilsleeve. This
is a special New Fangle kind of cage.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Look, well, imagine that a bird cage with Venetian blind.
Speaker 8 (05:04):
When the daughter's a clear paint to do something, they
don't mess around thy halves.
Speaker 7 (05:09):
And that reminds me of something I kind of hate.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
To bring up.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
What's that, Bertie?
Speaker 7 (05:13):
Well, speaking of hands, you never did pay me? Then
pull bitch you oldness for that rapple ticket.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Oh yes, I'll see here, Napoleon. You've been a free
border around here for a week now and you haven't
sung once, not one single solitary Stop eating a moment, Napoleon,
and listen to me. Oh now, I frightened you. What's
(05:42):
the trouble? Oh man, haven't I tried to be a Palladian?
Haven't I? By George, look me in the eye when
I'm talking to you. You've got to do something around
here to earn your key. You think bird seat grows
on trees. You better find your voice, little chum, or
you'll find yourself directing decorating somebody's hat.
Speaker 8 (06:05):
Hello, is the fodi worked yourself into a vocalizing mood?
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Yet?
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Ye?
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Not yet? You know, Bertie, I'm not one to look
at gifted bird in the bill. I'm afraid the cat's
got this canary stuff.
Speaker 7 (06:17):
No, so the cat was after this morning, but I
chased him away.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Oh well, I don't know much about birds. But if
I if ever I saw a moody mudlark, it's this
jaundice little jbird.
Speaker 7 (06:28):
No, I can't understand it, mister gilsleave.
Speaker 8 (06:31):
This canary bird was not only guaranteed to sing, but
the man said positively.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Well, maybe we better take the bully in back to
the store and get the Duke of Wellington.
Speaker 7 (06:40):
Well there was no store.
Speaker 8 (06:42):
No, you know, we bought that dickie bird off of
a man that was selling them off the back of
a truck.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
But if he guaranteed him, he must have some permanent address.
Speaker 8 (06:51):
Well he said something about if everything wasn't completely satisfactory,
to ride him in care of the canary islands.
Speaker 7 (07:01):
Only he didn't say which island.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Well, I suspect he was selling hot canaries. Only this
one is not so hot.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
Oh was Napoleon still sulky?
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Well, I can't tell from the expression on his face.
The only expression he's got. What do you think, Bertie,
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
Nothing about canary birds.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
The only birds I.
Speaker 8 (07:22):
Have associated with his chickens, and even then only to
the extent of southern frying them.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
You know.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Yeah, well we may turn Napoleon into chicken Ala ken yet, is.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
That dumb bird still dunk?
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Yes, Leroy, we better get some advice from an expert.
I think I'll go to a pet store or an aviary.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
Oh, you better try a.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
Pet store, Uncle wharfsh Those aviaries are too busy these
days with defense work, oh, de Roy, and aviary isn't
the place where they work on aviation?
Speaker 3 (07:49):
I know it's a place where birds of a lot
of different feathers all flock together.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
Say why don't you come down with a library with me.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
I gotta take a book back and you can find
out a lot of things about canaries there.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
That's an excellent idea. The bird stars are probably all closed,
and this way I can get the information I want tonight.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
Okay, but I can tell you one thing about that
bird right now?
Speaker 3 (08:08):
What's that?
Speaker 5 (08:08):
He's no stool pigeon?
Speaker 3 (08:09):
What do you mean, Leroy, he won't swing. Here's the
eighty eight cents. We are final, Leroy. The next time
you want to use the dictionary, we'll buy one turn
it in while I find by the canary literature.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
But here's the information desk over right back.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Okay, excuse me, young ladies, not so loud?
Speaker 6 (08:37):
Please, won't you step closer?
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Closer? Oh eh, I must come to the library, oftener.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
What can I do for you?
Speaker 3 (08:47):
If my canary refuses to sing? What my canary? My
canary won't sing? And I wonder if you could help me.
Speaker 6 (08:53):
I'd be glad to only I don't sing either.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
You don't, eh, I'll bet you if you got any
books for canary in that condition.
Speaker 6 (09:03):
Well, the music department has some volumes with bird calls.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Oh I don't think that would do? You see my canary?
You can't read music?
Speaker 6 (09:09):
Well, how about a book that you could read?
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Oh, that'd be splendid. It's something that would tell me
the cause and cureeness of curtness or coyness and canaries.
Speaker 6 (09:16):
You'll find that under sea over there in the reference room.
You'll have to hurry now we're closing in just a
few minutes.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Yeah, thanks, I will, oh leir leroy, come along with me.
Speaker 5 (09:24):

Here's what we're after, a list of different feeds to food.
I mean, food's to feed Napoleon.
Speaker 5 (10:06):

Speaker 3 (10:24):
Come on, leroy, let's get out of here before they
lock us in.
Speaker 5 (10:26):

going around and around.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
That's not me, uncle more, I'm over here.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
What am I touching?
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Then?
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (10:57):
It must be that globe of the world.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
Let's see if we can grow up all the way
out into the other room.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
All right, take my hand. Oh oh oh, to think
of it, trapped in the public library at my age, Geo.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
Come what everybody must be gone? How are we going
to get out of here?
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Yeah, we'll find some door we can open, Leroy, or else,
I'll locate the window big enough to crawl out of.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Yeah, bay window.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Never mind, young man. I'll stay close to me so
we won't get Oh oh oh oh, where are we now, Leroy?

Speaker 2 (11:41):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Good morning, good money, le Roy.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
Why would you too look pale and tired?
Speaker 6 (12:00):
You shouldn't stay out for late nights. I kept you
up so long it was like this.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
You very reached your breaklessly.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Roy.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Oh oh yes, did you just see the morning papers
the most mysterious story listen, prowlers turn library topsy turvy.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Excuse me, my coffee went down the wrong way. Oh gee, uncle,
so quietly let your sister read the morning paper. What
else does it say, Marjorie?
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Oh. Finding the door of the Somerfield Public Library open
at two am this morning, patrolman Elmo Duncle entered and
discovered a scene of unparallel confusion.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Well, I wonder what that could have been, don't you?
Speaker 5 (12:39):
An Oaks.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
Thousands of books have been pushed from shelves and the
floor was in some places four feet deep in volume.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
That's an awful eye. I mean, that's awfully high, isn't it.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
It was estimated by a city library and Helen hunt Shure.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Oh yeah, yes. Miss Sule said that the sodding.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
And restacking of the books will require at least a week,
during which the library will be closed. Boy, it's a
good thing we got out are books last night.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
Shall I go on?
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Yeah? Very interesting, very interesting. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Members of the detective squad who are investigating believe it
to be the work of a gang known as the
Laurel and hardy mob led by a large fat man
and your skinny little lieutenant Hya at the warming. Here
(13:38):
the detective discovered a clue in the form of a
slip of paper, reading watercress, watercressnstertionis dandelion, and I'm really
not terribly hungry the Incidentally, weren't you too the library
last night?
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Why? Yes, come to think of it, we were.
Speaker 6 (13:57):
Yeah, I suppose you missed the fun.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
There was no fun while we were there. We were
looking for information about canaries.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
Did you find anything?
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Oh, we stumbled across a few books. See, maybe we
should give Napoleon the bath. Huh. Canaries are like people.
They like to sing in the bathtub.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
Shall we put the cage under the shower?
Speaker 3 (14:20):
No, leroy, Bertie, you fill a soup plate with some
tepid water.
Speaker 8 (14:24):
Yes, and if it'll help, I'll put some of my
personal bath sauce in it. They got the loveliest fragrance
cold the last time I saw Harlem.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
No, thanks, Bertie. We can't take any chances in Napoleon
singing boogie woogie. Yeah God, maybe he needs.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
A good wash job.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Yes, idea, he is.
Speaker 7 (14:53):
I hope that canary bird and swim better than he
can sing.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Yes, thanks Bertie, And are you folks just go on
with your breakfast? Ile and listening all by myself the
last time I saw Harlem. Oh, good morning, Napoleon. Have
a good night's rest. Yeah, I've got a nice bath
all fixed up for you. That's better make you sing,
brother Jim, What are we gonna do now? Give this
(15:17):
bird a ducky?
Speaker 5 (15:18):
No, No, I mean about the police and the librarian stuff.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Oh, don't worry, don't worry, Leroy. They're not looking for us,
but after a couple of fellows who look like Laurel
and Hardy. Oh my goodness, they are looking for us.
Speaker 9 (15:30):
You see what I mean.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Yes, let's not borrow trouble Roy. Let's forget the whole matter.
Huh say, I'm afraid this plate is too big to
get into your cage, Nappy, old chappy, Have I got
a smaller dish? No, we'll leave it here, just outside
the cage and open the door. Yeah there you are.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Well, come on out, Napoleon. Nobody's gonna bite you.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Yeah, don't be bashful.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
Maybe I should prod him with your finger.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Oh that's an idea. Oh, he picked me, the darn
little dive bomber.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
I'm afraid that it happened. Hen how he's going out?
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Yeah, come on, Napoleon, make a snap. We haven't got
all No, no, no, Napoleon. Stop flying around the room.
There's your nice path here.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
Look guy, he's head window.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Window, Keep away window, go back you ding dong gam up.
Oh my goodness, he's gone.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
Yeah, flew the coop.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Oh, come on, Leroy, bring the cage. We got to
catch Napoleon before he heads from Florida.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
I see him.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Look there he is on the branch of that tree.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
No, no, that's a yellow leap.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Yes, I forgot his November. I could have sworn it
was Napoleon.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
Say, oh look now, but what's that moving in the bushes.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Where over there? George? I think it's the bird? All right,
Come on, you head him off in the back, Leroy,
and I'll sneak up on him from the side.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
Okay, let me know if you catch it.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Yes, oh, there he goes into that shrug. Now where
did he disappear to He must be somewhere in here
in Napoleon. Nice Napoleon, be good boy and come back
to Uncle Frockmorton. Napoleon. Hello, there, yeah, hello, Oh, hello, up, sir,
it's hears me.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
But what are you doing down there on your hands
and knees? Mister him?
Speaker 3 (17:03):
I don't be stubborn Napoleon. Oh say, you're a new
man on the beat, aren't you.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Yeah? What are you looking for in them pushers? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Here Napoleon? Come out of there? What's that, officer? Oh,
I'm I'm just looking for Napoleon. He's escaped.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Oh, I see, aren't you a little late to look
for Napoleon?
Speaker 10 (17:22):
Late?
Speaker 3 (17:22):
I hurried as fast as I could. He just flew
out the window. Oh he flew out the window.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Huh naturally? And did you fly out after him?
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Of course not. Do you think I've got wings? I
don't know, have you You can see that I haven't.
Napoleon has, though.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Oh, Napoleon has wings, has he?
Speaker 3 (17:43):
I was just trying to make him take his bath,
but I guess he didn't want to, so he zoomed
right out of the house.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Well didn't he wait to put on his clothes?
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Why should he? Napoleon never wears clothes. Here's Napoleon, here'sna Poleon.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Yeah doesn't man.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
No, I'm afraid he'll catch cold in nothing. But his feather.
If this is getting better by the minute, say you
sure you want Napoleon?
Speaker 9 (18:04):
No?
Speaker 3 (18:05):
See here, officer, don't you stand there making jokes. You
want to be useful. Come down here and help me
find Napoleon.
Speaker 8 (18:11):
Here?
Speaker 9 (18:12):
Nay?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Oh fine? And look how small is this Napoleon you're
looking for? Oh?
Speaker 3 (18:17):
He can't be over four inches high?
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Four inches high?
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Okay? Then three inches? I thought I just saw him.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Hey, look about how long have you been seeing this Napoleon?
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Oh? Ever since I won him on a raffle.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
You won him on a raffle.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Yeah, well, I have a report to fill out Napoleon.
You see, all this happened because Napoleon refuses to sing.
You think it's an economy being in a strange house.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
I don't know. Do you live there? Yes, then it's
a strange house.
Speaker 10 (18:46):
I look, mister, let's walk over to the station where
it's nice and warm and quiet, instead of squatting in
these bushes waiting for Napoleon to come marching out?
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Say what's wrong with you?
Speaker 2 (18:55):
What's wrong with me? I'll look here, mister.
Speaker 10 (18:57):
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but
Napoleon's been dead already for close to one hundred and
twenty years.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Oh, I didn't mean that, Napoleon, Napoleon I'm looking for
as a bird?
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Yeah, well he must be a cuckoo. How lucky? Are
you coming along quietly? Or do I have dish?
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Not a sound?
Speaker 2 (19:15):
There is?
Speaker 3 (19:16):
You see him here? Napoleon?
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Or what do you know? It is a bird?
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Of course, ILEROI had him off LeRoi, use your hat,
Be careful, you don't rush him.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
I'm pretty happily a cage.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
I got him.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
You better take him in the house, the well, officer,
Are you satisfying?
Speaker 10 (19:32):
Yeah, but it's lucky that canary showed up when he did.
Why well, I was ready to run you in as
one of them screwballs that busted into the public library
last night.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Glad to have been pretty silly, wouldn't it?
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (19:45):
It was.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Oh, just listen to that, children, Beautiful, isn't it?
Speaker 5 (20:04):
He's sure on a groove.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
All right, all right, it's certainly worth a lot of
trouble to get a bird to sing like that.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
You're right, Marjorie. Let's ask the clerk what kind of
bird seed he feeds this canary, and then buy some.
Just liking for our Napoleon.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
Oh miss, will you please on here? What can I
do for you? Please to meet you?
Speaker 3 (20:19):
If we have a canary and he refuses to sing, lady.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Yeah, he won't give out with a giro.
Speaker 6 (20:23):
He's not supposed to be a jitter bird.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
Yeah, and possibly the boid needs a change from diet.
Speaker 6 (20:29):
What have you been feeding him? If I am not
too inqusited, well you're not.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
We tried everything the books recommended, cuttle bone, watercress, bacon, vegetables, apple.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
Have you tried Boyd's seed?
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Boys, of course he's gotten some fat on seeds. He
keeps falling off his perch.
Speaker 11 (20:44):
They'll for falling off the poich. We carry a special
padded bottom.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Yeah. What have you got for birds who won't sing?
Speaker 5 (20:52):
They'll We have a number of remedies.
Speaker 11 (20:54):
He is Marble's bulble goggle guaranteed to make the set
is canary a pollyanna that sounds good ally, And you
also might try I'll melody restore and thistle food. It's
revived more songs than being Crosby. And this is a
positively short cure. A battle from philharmonic symphonic panic for
chronic lack of harmonics, which one but you care to try.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Well, lady, we're in this thing so deep. We might
as well go the whole hog.
Speaker 6 (21:21):
Please not in here.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Oh yeah, well, we'll take all of them. Are you
sure they'll work?
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (21:27):
Any one of them, but VODs.
Speaker 11 (21:28):
But if you put them all together, the boid will simply.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
This will at a house and home.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Oh well, that's all we need to do then, ah,
oh yes.
Speaker 11 (21:34):
But just to be on the safe side, you might
try singing to him.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
But the idea is to get him to sing to us.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
That's I understand.
Speaker 11 (21:42):
However, if you sing to him, it is only natural
for him to show you how.
Speaker 6 (21:45):
Much better he can do.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Oh well, and we're all set three different kinds of
medicine and also singing. Now we can't fail, can't we?
Speaker 11 (21:52):
Oh no, not a chance under the sun. But you
might take along this card. You have to be on
the safe side the card.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
What's this? Oh doctor dj ro bird bird physician. If
everything else fails, let me put your birds into twitter.
Let's all sing like the birdy sing.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
It true tweete come on, Napoleon, sing like bings sweetwee
tweet tweet.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
If we wabble and so can you. Eight bus to buppies. No,
Napoleon do or.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
You'll meet Waterloo?
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Sweet?
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Well, come on Napoleon sing?
Speaker 5 (22:43):
Oh, I guess it's no use, Uncle. Shall we try
another song? Uncle?
Speaker 3 (22:47):
What of the songs? Leroy?
Speaker 5 (22:48):
How about that old woman? Just a bird in a
giller sleeve?
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Cake? Oh?
Speaker 5 (22:53):
Brother, yes, uncle, are you sure none of those remedies
we bought it?
Speaker 6 (22:57):
The pet stole will work?
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Oh can they? Napoleon keeps kicking him out of the cage,
all except the gargle he sits in that?
Speaker 5 (23:05):
What about that bird?
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Doctor?
Speaker 5 (23:06):
Why don't you try him?
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Say?
Speaker 3 (23:07):
I'd forgotten all about him, doctor Roller. Yes, I'll take
Napoleon there, and if I won't bring him back singing,
I won't bring him back period. Oh oh, excuse me,
(23:29):
he's doctor Rowerin.
Speaker 9 (23:30):
Yes, we are waiting for him too.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
We yes, million butch.
Speaker 9 (23:38):
A butch is a little Yorkshire cinnamon bark copy of
what kind of you?
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Oh? Just a Plaine sod off yellow sulker. And do
you think a doctor will be long?
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Well?
Speaker 9 (23:50):
I don't think so. He's doing a plastic surgery operation.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
That's all plastic surgery. Yes, it's a nose straightening job
on a padrot. Well, I don't think I'll say that'll
take all week. Oh no, you may have our plates.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
We're in nowaday.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Oh well, I don't know. I'm just about ready to
give up canaries all together.
Speaker 9 (24:10):
Oh I wouldn't do that if I were you. Perhaps
you don't realize all the joys and fun of owning
a lovely little feathered companion.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Do you have fun out of butch Ole? And I'll
be very smallowed to part with him tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Tool.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
It's something coming between you.
Speaker 9 (24:33):
Yes, my mother in law she's coming back till sir,
a butcher's really ours, you'll say. Only she doesn't call
him butch she calls him a fluffy ralphole.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Well, that's too bad about her coming back.
Speaker 9 (24:47):
Yes, and just when I heard him trying so nicely trying, Yes,
a butcher, you'll say, he is a fighting canary. Now,
don't say a word of this to my mother in law.
But Buch just kicks the living dyelights out of half
the canaries on the north side of town.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Oh well, I never knew people max canaries and battles.
Speaker 9 (25:08):
Oh yes, indeed, especially alonesome men. That people leave canaries
well when they go away someplace.
Speaker 12 (25:17):
Yeah, it's a lot better than just sitting at home
and listening.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
To the dawn things singing.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
I agree with you, but why are you bringing him
in here?
Speaker 12 (25:26):
Well, sir, before my mother in law gets home, I'm
having the doctor do a little work on him. You see,
likely he's developed something of a call a flower a beak.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Oh I think I understand. Go ahead, so thank you
very much. Well, here we are a doctor. Just bring
the cage in here you Oh that's a nice bird
you have there. That seems to be the trouble. Well,
doctor is something like that. Oh excuse me, there's a
five dollar confrontation fee in advance. Oh well, isn't that
(25:58):
a lot for such a little bird? And it's smaller
the patient, the more difficult to treat. If hummingbirds are
fifteen dollars and ostriches or a dollar on a quarter. Oh,
I see your point, the harder to hold. Well, here
you are, thanks, and now once again, what seems to
be the trouble, Well, it's very simple. This bird, our Napoleon,
doesn't sing.
Speaker 10 (26:17):
Well, that's a common affliction, hmm, especially in this particular
specie of bird.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Mmm.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Yes, of course, turn the cage around.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Thank you, hm hm, no question about it. That's it
all right. H knew at the minute I saw it.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Well, for goodness sakes, tell me what is it, mister,
As you should know and apparently don't, there are two
separate and distinct kinds of canary. There are, yes, the
one kind, happy, gay, carefree, singing, practical all the time.
Then the other kind sad, always worrying, busy and distracted,
hardly ever letting out of pete. Well, this is all
news to me. What are the names of these two
different kinds of canaria?
Speaker 2 (26:54):
The kind that sings is called the male.
Speaker 7 (26:55):
The kind that doesn't sing is known as the female.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Is that so?
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Yeah? And this Napoleon you have here isn't a Napoleon
at all.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
He's a josephe Ooh, the.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Great Guildersleeve will be with us again in a few minutes.
But right now, let me ask you housewives a question.
What is it that makes the difference between the meals
prepared by a good cook and just an ordinary one. Well,
in this man's opinion, it's flavor. Yes, it's that appetite,
satisfying extra flavor that good cooks give to the dishes
they serve. That's why so many good cooks are using
(27:38):
delicious Parquet margarine made by craft. They've discovered you see
this important point that because parkuet is so delicious for
table use, it adds flavor in cooking too, the extra
flavor that makes the difference between a good and an
ordinary cook. Yes, parkue margarine is a genuine flavor shortening
for baking, not a bland, tasteless fat. Park is a
(28:00):
delicious seasoning for hot vegetables too, And because Park tastes
so good itself, it makes pan fried foods taste better
and it doesn't spatter or stick to the pan. Now,
just because you'll be proud to serve park marginin at
the table, don't think it's extravagant to use all you
want in cooking.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
It isn't.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Even though Park is wholesome, nourishing and perfectly delicious, It's
so economical you will be pleasantly surprised. So join the
good cooks using Park margarine and buy a pound or
two tomorrow. Remember it's Park p a r kay.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
Oh dear, this Christmas list is getting me down the
guys for Judge Hooker, the next time for the Mealman,
and then for Bertie.
Speaker 5 (28:57):
Let's see welcome more.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
What is it, Marjorie?
Speaker 6 (29:00):
You thought of anything to get verdie for Christmas?
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Yes, you bet? I have good What is it, Josephine?
Good night.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Original music heard on this program was composed and conducted
by William Randall. This is Jim Bannon speaking for the
Craft Cheese Company and inviting you to be with us
again next week at this same time, for the further
adventures of the Great Guilders.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Lady.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
This is the National Broadcasting Company.
Speaker 9 (29:45):
Oh
Craft presents the Great Gilder Sleeve each week at this
time from Hollywood, California. Craft presents Harold Perry as the
(00:22):
Great Guilder Sleeve.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Written by Leonard L.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Levinson, we'll hear from the Great Gilder Sleeve in just
a moment. But first, even though winter doesn't officially begin
till December twenty second, it's here right now for most
of us. Yes, and on cold blustery days, plenty of
good nourishing food is all important. I mean food that
(00:45):
supplies energy, food that produces body worn, food that keeps
us going despite the weather. Now, Park Margarine, the delicious
vegetable margarinen made by Craft, is just such a food.
Park margarine is one of the best sources of food
energy you can serve, and that means it's tops in
producing body warmth too, and equally important in winter time.
(01:07):
Park is rich in vitamin A. Yes, every pound of
Park margarine contains nine thousand units of vitamin A. But
Park margarine isn't just good for you. It's mighty good
tasting too, whether you serve it at the table or
use it.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
For baking and pan frying.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
So for all these reasons, wholesome, economical Parkue margarine deserves
a place on your shopping list. Why not order a
pound or two tomorrow? Just ask your food dealer for
park p a r. Kay, it's the margarine that's made
by Craft. And now let's visit our friend, their great
(01:52):
yilder sleeve.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Gee, welcome warm who certainly worked too. Swell movies, Yeah,
thanks for taking us.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
Did you enjoy them?
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Well, Marjorie, I'll have to confess I fell asleep in
the middle of the first feature and woke up toward
the end of the second one. You did, yes, leroy.
Those sixty five cents seats are too darn comfortable. But
tell me, did Betty Davis finally marry hop Along Cassidy?
Speaker 4 (02:23):
They weren't even in the same picture.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Oh it weren't. Well, then he must have been singing
to a blonde horse. Now I'm all confused. Who wasn't
the defeated Notre Dame in the newsreel, Tarzan or Popeye?
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Well there was Charlie's aunt and he wasn't in the
news reel. He's in the picture coming next week.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Oh that's the trouble with the movies. You can't sleep
there in peace. But they need her more actresses like
Betty Gravely. Yes, now there's a girl of beautiful, possibly potential.
She'll get somewhere, that young lady.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Well, it's almost midnight, so we all Betty get well,
look at a bird came?
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Yeah, where did that come from?
Speaker 3 (03:03):
There's a canarian side?
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Why.
Speaker 6 (03:05):
I don't understand if this wasn't here when we left.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
Maybe Bertie brought it here.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Yes, let's find out. Oh Bertie, Yes, miss gil Slee,
it's Bertie. Whose canary is this?
Speaker 7 (03:14):
It's yours, mister Gilflee, it is. Yes, So you just
won Napoleon in a raffle Napoleon?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
I did? When did it happen? While I was asleep
at the movies?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Nausa?
Speaker 7 (03:24):
At my lodge?
Speaker 8 (03:26):
This is the night the Missterious and Bewildered Order of
the Daughters of Clear Patrol whole their weekly business meeting
a shag contest.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
But couldn't have been there?
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Here was with us?
Speaker 7 (03:35):
Yes, well, your uncle bought a ticket on our big raffle.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Oh, yes, now I remember, but I thought you said
the drawing was for a beautiful big set of dishes.
Speaker 8 (03:43):
No, sir, the lodge is raising money to buy itself
a set of dishes. But the prize they're given away
is it canary bird?
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Well this is mighty nice to win on a fifty
cent chance. First time I have won a prize since
I wore my woolen underwear to that rumba contest. I'd
like to thank whoever it was that drew up the
lucky number.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Bertie.
Speaker 8 (04:04):
Well, it just so happens that the drawing was done
by the grand exhausted ruler of the Pyramids, and it
also just so happens that that happens to be me.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
Why Bertie, of course it was just a coincidence.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
But did anybody say.
Speaker 8 (04:20):
Anything, No, ma'am, But the show was a lot of
black looks.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Hey, this Napoleon's a pretty feisty little bird.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
Will he sing?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Of course he will.
Speaker 8 (04:37):
Only the man we brought him from says that when
two three days, he's got to get customized to his
new surroundings, and after that he'll sing just like this.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Yeah, Eddie Nelson, Oh I see, yes, Well it's time
for all of us to get to bed. You better
find a claw someplace, Bertie, and drape Napoleon for the night.
Speaker 7 (04:54):
Oh, we don't have to do that, mister gilsleeve. This
is a special New Fangle kind of cage.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Look, well, imagine that a bird cage with Venetian blind.
Speaker 8 (05:04):
When the daughter's a clear paint to do something, they
don't mess around thy halves.
Speaker 7 (05:09):
And that reminds me of something I kind of hate.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
To bring up.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
What's that, Bertie?
Speaker 7 (05:13):
Well, speaking of hands, you never did pay me? Then
pull bitch you oldness for that rapple ticket.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Oh yes, I'll see here, Napoleon. You've been a free
border around here for a week now and you haven't
sung once, not one single solitary Stop eating a moment, Napoleon,
and listen to me. Oh now, I frightened you. What's
(05:42):
the trouble? Oh man, haven't I tried to be a Palladian?
Haven't I? By George, look me in the eye when
I'm talking to you. You've got to do something around
here to earn your key. You think bird seat grows
on trees. You better find your voice, little chum, or
you'll find yourself directing decorating somebody's hat.
Speaker 8 (06:05):
Hello, is the fodi worked yourself into a vocalizing mood?
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Yet?
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Ye?
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Not yet? You know, Bertie, I'm not one to look
at gifted bird in the bill. I'm afraid the cat's
got this canary stuff.
Speaker 7 (06:17):
No, so the cat was after this morning, but I
chased him away.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Oh well, I don't know much about birds. But if
I if ever I saw a moody mudlark, it's this
jaundice little jbird.
Speaker 7 (06:28):
No, I can't understand it, mister gilsleave.
Speaker 8 (06:31):
This canary bird was not only guaranteed to sing, but
the man said positively.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Well, maybe we better take the bully in back to
the store and get the Duke of Wellington.
Speaker 7 (06:40):
Well there was no store.
Speaker 8 (06:42):
No, you know, we bought that dickie bird off of
a man that was selling them off the back of
a truck.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
But if he guaranteed him, he must have some permanent address.
Speaker 8 (06:51):
Well he said something about if everything wasn't completely satisfactory,
to ride him in care of the canary islands.
Speaker 7 (07:01):
Only he didn't say which island.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Well, I suspect he was selling hot canaries. Only this
one is not so hot.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
Oh was Napoleon still sulky?
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Well, I can't tell from the expression on his face.
The only expression he's got. What do you think, Bertie,
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
Nothing about canary birds.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
The only birds I.
Speaker 8 (07:22):
Have associated with his chickens, and even then only to
the extent of southern frying them.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
You know.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Yeah, well we may turn Napoleon into chicken Ala ken yet, is.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
That dumb bird still dunk?
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Yes, Leroy, we better get some advice from an expert.
I think I'll go to a pet store or an aviary.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
Oh, you better try a.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
Pet store, Uncle wharfsh Those aviaries are too busy these
days with defense work, oh, de Roy, and aviary isn't
the place where they work on aviation?
Speaker 3 (07:49):
I know it's a place where birds of a lot
of different feathers all flock together.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
Say why don't you come down with a library with me.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
I gotta take a book back and you can find
out a lot of things about canaries there.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
That's an excellent idea. The bird stars are probably all closed,
and this way I can get the information I want tonight.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
Okay, but I can tell you one thing about that
bird right now?
Speaker 3 (08:08):
What's that?
Speaker 5 (08:08):
He's no stool pigeon?
Speaker 3 (08:09):
What do you mean, Leroy, he won't swing. Here's the
eighty eight cents. We are final, Leroy. The next time
you want to use the dictionary, we'll buy one turn
it in while I find by the canary literature.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
But here's the information desk over right back.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Okay, excuse me, young ladies, not so loud?
Speaker 6 (08:37):
Please, won't you step closer?
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Closer? Oh eh, I must come to the library, oftener.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
What can I do for you?
Speaker 3 (08:47):
If my canary refuses to sing? What my canary? My
canary won't sing? And I wonder if you could help me.
Speaker 6 (08:53):
I'd be glad to only I don't sing either.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
You don't, eh, I'll bet you if you got any
books for canary in that condition.
Speaker 6 (09:03):
Well, the music department has some volumes with bird calls.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Oh I don't think that would do? You see my canary?
You can't read music?
Speaker 6 (09:09):
Well, how about a book that you could read?
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Oh, that'd be splendid. It's something that would tell me
the cause and cureeness of curtness or coyness and canaries.
Speaker 6 (09:16):
You'll find that under sea over there in the reference room.
You'll have to hurry now we're closing in just a
few minutes.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Yeah, thanks, I will, oh leir leroy, come along with me.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
I'm coming to me. You better make it snappy, k
it's almost nine o'clock.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Oh, it won't take me long. He's this the reference room. Yeah,
so let's see somewhere along here, the canopies, the canaries,
the canaries. Ah, here's what we're looking for. Almost missed it.
It native birds of the bronx, and how to get
the most out of them? What to do till a
bird doctor comes? You're getting war, monk, Yes, I know,
(09:50):
I am here hole my overcoat. Forty four Famous formulas

time to read much.
Speaker 5 (10:02):
Unk.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Here's what we're after, a list of different feeds to food.
I mean, food's to feed Napoleon.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
You want to read them all, Hunk while I take
them down?
Speaker 3 (10:08):
A splendid idea young man.
Speaker 5 (10:09):
Ready, go ahead, shoot the joke to me, Unk.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
What's happened to the lights?
Speaker 5 (10:22):
She then put them out. It must be nine o'clock.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Come on, leroy, let's get out of here before they
lock us in.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
Okay, but I'm sort of mixed up which way is out?
Speaker 3 (10:29):
I think it's right over here. Oo, it's not that way, Leroy, here,
take my hand. Oh an abliance, Oh my goodness, Oh,
Lee Roy, where are you right here under the book?
Are you hurt?
Speaker 5 (10:47):
My head feels funny.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Hey, your head does feel funny. I can feel it
going around and around.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
That's not me, uncle more, I'm over here.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
What am I touching?
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Then?
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (10:57):
It must be that globe of the world.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
Let's see if we can grow up all the way
out into the other room.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
All right, take my hand. Oh oh oh, to think
of it, trapped in the public library at my age, Geo.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
Come what everybody must be gone? How are we going
to get out of here?
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Yeah, we'll find some door we can open, Leroy, or else,
I'll locate the window big enough to crawl out of.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Yeah, bay window.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Never mind, young man. I'll stay close to me so
we won't get Oh oh oh oh, where are we now, Leroy?
Speaker 5 (11:35):
Where the juvenis apartment?
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Now?
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Juvenile apartment?
Speaker 5 (11:39):
How do you know the book's falling down? Are getting lighter?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Good morning, good money, le Roy.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
Why would you too look pale and tired?
Speaker 6 (12:00):
You shouldn't stay out for late nights. I kept you
up so long it was like this.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
You very reached your breaklessly.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Roy.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Oh oh yes, did you just see the morning papers
the most mysterious story listen, prowlers turn library topsy turvy.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Excuse me, my coffee went down the wrong way. Oh gee, uncle,
so quietly let your sister read the morning paper. What
else does it say, Marjorie?
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Oh. Finding the door of the Somerfield Public Library open
at two am this morning, patrolman Elmo Duncle entered and
discovered a scene of unparallel confusion.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Well, I wonder what that could have been, don't you?
Speaker 5 (12:39):
An Oaks.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
Thousands of books have been pushed from shelves and the
floor was in some places four feet deep in volume.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
That's an awful eye. I mean, that's awfully high, isn't it.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
It was estimated by a city library and Helen hunt Shure.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Oh yeah, yes. Miss Sule said that the sodding.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
And restacking of the books will require at least a week,
during which the library will be closed. Boy, it's a
good thing we got out are books last night.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
Shall I go on?
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Yeah? Very interesting, very interesting. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Members of the detective squad who are investigating believe it
to be the work of a gang known as the
Laurel and hardy mob led by a large fat man
and your skinny little lieutenant Hya at the warming. Here
(13:38):
the detective discovered a clue in the form of a
slip of paper, reading watercress, watercressnstertionis dandelion, and I'm really
not terribly hungry the Incidentally, weren't you too the library
last night?
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Why? Yes, come to think of it, we were.
Speaker 6 (13:57):
Yeah, I suppose you missed the fun.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
There was no fun while we were there. We were
looking for information about canaries.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
Did you find anything?
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Oh, we stumbled across a few books. See, maybe we
should give Napoleon the bath. Huh. Canaries are like people.
They like to sing in the bathtub.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
Shall we put the cage under the shower?
Speaker 3 (14:20):
No, leroy, Bertie, you fill a soup plate with some
tepid water.
Speaker 8 (14:24):
Yes, and if it'll help, I'll put some of my
personal bath sauce in it. They got the loveliest fragrance
cold the last time I saw Harlem.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
No, thanks, Bertie. We can't take any chances in Napoleon
singing boogie woogie. Yeah God, maybe he needs.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
A good wash job.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Yes, idea, he is.
Speaker 7 (14:53):
I hope that canary bird and swim better than he
can sing.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Yes, thanks Bertie, And are you folks just go on
with your breakfast? Ile and listening all by myself the
last time I saw Harlem. Oh, good morning, Napoleon. Have
a good night's rest. Yeah, I've got a nice bath
all fixed up for you. That's better make you sing,
brother Jim, What are we gonna do now? Give this
(15:17):
bird a ducky?
Speaker 5 (15:18):
No, No, I mean about the police and the librarian stuff.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Oh, don't worry, don't worry, Leroy. They're not looking for us,
but after a couple of fellows who look like Laurel
and Hardy. Oh my goodness, they are looking for us.
Speaker 9 (15:30):
You see what I mean.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Yes, let's not borrow trouble Roy. Let's forget the whole matter.
Huh say, I'm afraid this plate is too big to
get into your cage, Nappy, old chappy, Have I got
a smaller dish? No, we'll leave it here, just outside
the cage and open the door. Yeah there you are.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Well, come on out, Napoleon. Nobody's gonna bite you.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Yeah, don't be bashful.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
Maybe I should prod him with your finger.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Oh that's an idea. Oh, he picked me, the darn
little dive bomber.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
I'm afraid that it happened. Hen how he's going out?
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Yeah, come on, Napoleon, make a snap. We haven't got
all No, no, no, Napoleon. Stop flying around the room.
There's your nice path here.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
Look guy, he's head window.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Window, Keep away window, go back you ding dong gam up.
Oh my goodness, he's gone.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
Yeah, flew the coop.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Oh, come on, Leroy, bring the cage. We got to
catch Napoleon before he heads from Florida.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
I see him.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Look there he is on the branch of that tree.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
No, no, that's a yellow leap.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Yes, I forgot his November. I could have sworn it
was Napoleon.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
Say, oh look now, but what's that moving in the bushes.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Where over there? George? I think it's the bird? All right,
Come on, you head him off in the back, Leroy,
and I'll sneak up on him from the side.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
Okay, let me know if you catch it.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Yes, oh, there he goes into that shrug. Now where
did he disappear to He must be somewhere in here
in Napoleon. Nice Napoleon, be good boy and come back
to Uncle Frockmorton. Napoleon. Hello, there, yeah, hello, Oh, hello, up, sir,
it's hears me.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
But what are you doing down there on your hands
and knees? Mister him?
Speaker 3 (17:03):
I don't be stubborn Napoleon. Oh say, you're a new
man on the beat, aren't you.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Yeah? What are you looking for in them pushers? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Here Napoleon? Come out of there? What's that, officer? Oh,
I'm I'm just looking for Napoleon. He's escaped.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Oh, I see, aren't you a little late to look
for Napoleon?
Speaker 10 (17:22):
Late?
Speaker 3 (17:22):
I hurried as fast as I could. He just flew
out the window. Oh he flew out the window.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Huh naturally? And did you fly out after him?
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Of course not. Do you think I've got wings? I
don't know, have you You can see that I haven't.
Napoleon has, though.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Oh, Napoleon has wings, has he?
Speaker 3 (17:43):
I was just trying to make him take his bath,
but I guess he didn't want to, so he zoomed
right out of the house.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Well didn't he wait to put on his clothes?
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Why should he? Napoleon never wears clothes. Here's Napoleon, here'sna Poleon.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Yeah doesn't man.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
No, I'm afraid he'll catch cold in nothing. But his feather.
If this is getting better by the minute, say you
sure you want Napoleon?
Speaker 9 (18:04):
No?
Speaker 3 (18:05):
See here, officer, don't you stand there making jokes. You
want to be useful. Come down here and help me
find Napoleon.
Speaker 8 (18:11):
Here?
Speaker 9 (18:12):
Nay?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Oh fine? And look how small is this Napoleon you're
looking for? Oh?
Speaker 3 (18:17):
He can't be over four inches high?
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Four inches high?
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Okay? Then three inches? I thought I just saw him.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Hey, look about how long have you been seeing this Napoleon?
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Oh? Ever since I won him on a raffle.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
You won him on a raffle.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Yeah, well, I have a report to fill out Napoleon.
You see, all this happened because Napoleon refuses to sing.
You think it's an economy being in a strange house.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
I don't know. Do you live there? Yes, then it's
a strange house.
Speaker 10 (18:46):
I look, mister, let's walk over to the station where
it's nice and warm and quiet, instead of squatting in
these bushes waiting for Napoleon to come marching out?
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Say what's wrong with you?
Speaker 2 (18:55):
What's wrong with me? I'll look here, mister.
Speaker 10 (18:57):
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but
Napoleon's been dead already for close to one hundred and
twenty years.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Oh, I didn't mean that, Napoleon, Napoleon I'm looking for
as a bird?
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Yeah, well he must be a cuckoo. How lucky? Are
you coming along quietly? Or do I have dish?
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Not a sound?
Speaker 2 (19:15):
There is?
Speaker 3 (19:16):
You see him here? Napoleon?
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Or what do you know? It is a bird?
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Of course, ILEROI had him off LeRoi, use your hat,
Be careful, you don't rush him.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
I'm pretty happily a cage.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
I got him.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
You better take him in the house, the well, officer,
Are you satisfying?
Speaker 10 (19:32):
Yeah, but it's lucky that canary showed up when he did.
Why well, I was ready to run you in as
one of them screwballs that busted into the public library
last night.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Glad to have been pretty silly, wouldn't it?
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (19:45):
It was.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Oh, just listen to that, children, Beautiful, isn't it?
Speaker 5 (20:04):
He's sure on a groove.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
All right, all right, it's certainly worth a lot of
trouble to get a bird to sing like that.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
You're right, Marjorie. Let's ask the clerk what kind of
bird seed he feeds this canary, and then buy some.
Just liking for our Napoleon.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
Oh miss, will you please on here? What can I
do for you? Please to meet you?
Speaker 3 (20:19):
If we have a canary and he refuses to sing, lady.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Yeah, he won't give out with a giro.
Speaker 6 (20:23):
He's not supposed to be a jitter bird.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
Yeah, and possibly the boid needs a change from diet.
Speaker 6 (20:29):
What have you been feeding him? If I am not
too inqusited, well you're not.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
We tried everything the books recommended, cuttle bone, watercress, bacon, vegetables, apple.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
Have you tried Boyd's seed?
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Boys, of course he's gotten some fat on seeds. He
keeps falling off his perch.
Speaker 11 (20:44):
They'll for falling off the poich. We carry a special
padded bottom.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Yeah. What have you got for birds who won't sing?
Speaker 5 (20:52):
They'll We have a number of remedies.
Speaker 11 (20:54):
He is Marble's bulble goggle guaranteed to make the set
is canary a pollyanna that sounds good ally, And you
also might try I'll melody restore and thistle food. It's
revived more songs than being Crosby. And this is a
positively short cure. A battle from philharmonic symphonic panic for
chronic lack of harmonics, which one but you care to try.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Well, lady, we're in this thing so deep. We might
as well go the whole hog.
Speaker 6 (21:21):
Please not in here.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Oh yeah, well, we'll take all of them. Are you
sure they'll work?
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (21:27):
Any one of them, but VODs.
Speaker 11 (21:28):
But if you put them all together, the boid will simply.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
This will at a house and home.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Oh well, that's all we need to do then, ah,
oh yes.
Speaker 11 (21:34):
But just to be on the safe side, you might
try singing to him.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
But the idea is to get him to sing to us.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
That's I understand.
Speaker 11 (21:42):
However, if you sing to him, it is only natural
for him to show you how.
Speaker 6 (21:45):
Much better he can do.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Oh well, and we're all set three different kinds of
medicine and also singing. Now we can't fail, can't we?
Speaker 11 (21:52):
Oh no, not a chance under the sun. But you
might take along this card. You have to be on
the safe side the card.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
What's this? Oh doctor dj ro bird bird physician. If
everything else fails, let me put your birds into twitter.
Let's all sing like the birdy sing.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
It true tweete come on, Napoleon, sing like bings sweetwee
tweet tweet.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
If we wabble and so can you. Eight bus to buppies. No,
Napoleon do or.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
You'll meet Waterloo?
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Sweet?
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Well, come on Napoleon sing?
Speaker 5 (22:43):
Oh, I guess it's no use, Uncle. Shall we try
another song? Uncle?
Speaker 3 (22:47):
What of the songs? Leroy?
Speaker 5 (22:48):
How about that old woman? Just a bird in a
giller sleeve?
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Cake? Oh?
Speaker 5 (22:53):
Brother, yes, uncle, are you sure none of those remedies
we bought it?
Speaker 6 (22:57):
The pet stole will work?
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Oh can they? Napoleon keeps kicking him out of the cage,
all except the gargle he sits in that?
Speaker 5 (23:05):
What about that bird?
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Doctor?
Speaker 5 (23:06):
Why don't you try him?
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Say?
Speaker 3 (23:07):
I'd forgotten all about him, doctor Roller. Yes, I'll take
Napoleon there, and if I won't bring him back singing,
I won't bring him back period. Oh oh, excuse me,
(23:29):
he's doctor Rowerin.
Speaker 9 (23:30):
Yes, we are waiting for him too.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
We yes, million butch.
Speaker 9 (23:38):
A butch is a little Yorkshire cinnamon bark copy of
what kind of you?
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Oh? Just a Plaine sod off yellow sulker. And do
you think a doctor will be long?
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Well?
Speaker 9 (23:50):
I don't think so. He's doing a plastic surgery operation.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
That's all plastic surgery. Yes, it's a nose straightening job
on a padrot. Well, I don't think I'll say that'll
take all week. Oh no, you may have our plates.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
We're in nowaday.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Oh well, I don't know. I'm just about ready to
give up canaries all together.
Speaker 9 (24:10):
Oh I wouldn't do that if I were you. Perhaps
you don't realize all the joys and fun of owning
a lovely little feathered companion.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Do you have fun out of butch Ole? And I'll
be very smallowed to part with him tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Tool.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
It's something coming between you.
Speaker 9 (24:33):
Yes, my mother in law she's coming back till sir,
a butcher's really ours, you'll say. Only she doesn't call
him butch she calls him a fluffy ralphole.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Well, that's too bad about her coming back.
Speaker 9 (24:47):
Yes, and just when I heard him trying so nicely trying, Yes,
a butcher, you'll say, he is a fighting canary. Now,
don't say a word of this to my mother in law.
But Buch just kicks the living dyelights out of half
the canaries on the north side of town.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Oh well, I never knew people max canaries and battles.
Speaker 9 (25:08):
Oh yes, indeed, especially alonesome men. That people leave canaries
well when they go away someplace.
Speaker 12 (25:17):
Yeah, it's a lot better than just sitting at home
and listening.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
To the dawn things singing.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
I agree with you, but why are you bringing him
in here?
Speaker 12 (25:26):
Well, sir, before my mother in law gets home, I'm
having the doctor do a little work on him. You see,
likely he's developed something of a call a flower a beak.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Oh I think I understand. Go ahead, so thank you
very much. Well, here we are a doctor. Just bring
the cage in here you Oh that's a nice bird
you have there. That seems to be the trouble. Well,
doctor is something like that. Oh excuse me, there's a
five dollar confrontation fee in advance. Oh well, isn't that
(25:58):
a lot for such a little bird? And it's smaller
the patient, the more difficult to treat. If hummingbirds are
fifteen dollars and ostriches or a dollar on a quarter. Oh,
I see your point, the harder to hold. Well, here
you are, thanks, and now once again, what seems to
be the trouble, Well, it's very simple. This bird, our Napoleon,
doesn't sing.
Speaker 10 (26:17):
Well, that's a common affliction, hmm, especially in this particular
specie of bird.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Mmm.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Yes, of course, turn the cage around.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Thank you, hm hm, no question about it. That's it
all right. H knew at the minute I saw it.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Well, for goodness sakes, tell me what is it, mister,
As you should know and apparently don't, there are two
separate and distinct kinds of canary. There are, yes, the
one kind, happy, gay, carefree, singing, practical all the time.
Then the other kind sad, always worrying, busy and distracted,
hardly ever letting out of pete. Well, this is all
news to me. What are the names of these two
different kinds of canaria?
Speaker 2 (26:54):
The kind that sings is called the male.
Speaker 7 (26:55):
The kind that doesn't sing is known as the female.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Is that so?
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Yeah? And this Napoleon you have here isn't a Napoleon
at all.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
He's a josephe Ooh, the.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Great Guildersleeve will be with us again in a few minutes.
But right now, let me ask you housewives a question.
What is it that makes the difference between the meals
prepared by a good cook and just an ordinary one. Well,
in this man's opinion, it's flavor. Yes, it's that appetite,
satisfying extra flavor that good cooks give to the dishes
they serve. That's why so many good cooks are using
(27:38):
delicious Parquet margarine made by craft. They've discovered you see
this important point that because parkuet is so delicious for
table use, it adds flavor in cooking too, the extra
flavor that makes the difference between a good and an
ordinary cook. Yes, parkue margarine is a genuine flavor shortening
for baking, not a bland, tasteless fat. Park is a
(28:00):
delicious seasoning for hot vegetables too, And because Park tastes
so good itself, it makes pan fried foods taste better
and it doesn't spatter or stick to the pan. Now,
just because you'll be proud to serve park marginin at
the table, don't think it's extravagant to use all you
want in cooking.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
It isn't.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Even though Park is wholesome, nourishing and perfectly delicious, It's
so economical you will be pleasantly surprised. So join the
good cooks using Park margarine and buy a pound or
two tomorrow. Remember it's Park p a r kay.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
