Burns and Allen – Jack Carson, Acting Contest. 461031

The Happy Postman talks to Gracie about the scary festivities of Halloween night. An even scarier event is that Gracie still wants George to compete with Clark Gable for the role in an upcoming movie production. Sugar Throat Burns is still getting the ego strokes to make him believe in his manly abilities. To escape the pressures from Gracie, George seeks refuge down at the cigar shop. What will the guys there think about George’s glamourboy status?

Jack Carson, well known comedian and impressionist of the day, joins Gracie’s quest to pressure George into believing in himself. Will she ever guess who he has been trying to impersonate?

Showing off his range of emoting, Jack and George have their own little acting excersize to prove who the better man is. But that’s only the start. Gracie gets involved in reading lines for her leading men to feed back to her. Who will prove to be the better actor? With Gracie as the judge, you know it’s going to be a stacked contest, but enjoy the fun ride before she choses.
