Phil Harris – Frankie and Easter Dinner. ep173, 510325

After most of the season without a sponsor, the show begins its run with RCA Victor.

Its Easter, and the family has just returned from church. The girls and Alice talk about how the service went. Even Phil and Willie get in on the discussion of fashions. Dresses, hats, pearls, youthful looks, and other exotic styles. Frankie arrives with gifts for the holiday. His generous mood leads to Phil singing, Dig Dig Dig for Your Dinner.

Out of gratitude for all that Alice has done for him, Frankie wants to take her and Phil out to dinner. Julius arrives to get in his wisecracks at the offer of dinner. Instead of a swanky hot spot, Frankie knows a better place. Alice sings, I Hear Singing.

The Italian restaurant is now run by Grogan. Alice is less than pleased with the dirty dump, and the menu selections. Fast forward and our heroes enjoy a meal in a French restaurant, where Phil shows off his language skills. With the language barrier being too much, Frankie has one more place to visit.
