Command Performance – Burns and Allen, Connie Haines, Joe Lilly Chorus. ep158, 450118

A vintage advertisement for Admiral radios. It features an elderly man in glasses, sitting in a chair, with an excited expression as he listens to the radio. He holds a newspaper and gestures with a pencil. Next to him is a large radio. The text reads, "Mother! Come quick… it's our Jim on the radio from Naples!" The ad describes how Admiral radios broadcast important news during the war, promoting their quality and reliability.

Hosted by Burns and Allen, Gracie introduces Rafia Mendez who plays, Flight of the Bumble Bee. George and Gracie talk about their guests, and the benefits of being married or single. When Gracie leaves the stage, it’s George’s chance to sneak a song. he only gets away with it if the Joe Lily Chorus accompanies him, and to drown him out.

Gracie is back with plans at matchmaking. Connie Haines responds to mail bag requests to sing a medley that includes: Gray Morning. I’m With You. You Better See Me, and more. Gracie is still out to be matchmaker between Sir Aubry and a long-lost love, but will he go through with a marriage proposal? The two gray oldsters lay out some jitterbugging jive talk as they reunite. Cute.
