As a favor for his civic organization, Fibber has been tasked with writing a play. Listen in for behind the scenes glimpses as Fibber casts his characters. Billy Mills plays a swinging tune.

What kind of costumes might Fibber put together? Teeny gets in a few words to torment Fibber. Perry Como enters to sing, That Old Feeling.

Fibber assigns the parts, and the play is presented. Abigail Uppington, Nick the Greek, and others all have parts to play in the drama on ancient Rome. Enjoy a perky melody, as Billy Mills plays, and you can whistle along with Elmo Tanner, Cross your Heart.

The play begins to the shouts of Romans who hail Caesar. Jokes and plugs for the sponsor are peppered into a brief retelling of Shakespeare’s play on Julius Caesar. Listen in to discover how Gildersleeve, Uppington, and the rest portray their parts. Stay tuned to the end for a short brag from Thespian McGee.
