Gracie drops her big news to George. The build up makes it sound like she might be having a baby, but instead she has just hired anew maid. The maid claims that she can't talk and work, so as Gracie does the chores, the maid gossips about her other Hollywood clients. Seeing that no dinner is going to be forthcoming, George leaves to eat out. Jimmy Cash sings, I'll Get By.

It's another morning in the Burns home as Gracie talks to her friend about George not letting her start her acting school. They talk about business slogans, and testimonials to promote their talent school. Gracie has circulated a handbill with a fake testimonial she wrote, and signed it as Paul Henried. As George comes in, Gracie blows smoke to cover the exit of her friend. He's a little suspicious, but will Gracie be able to talk sense to him? More importantly, will he make sense of her explanations?

January 11, 2017Posted inBurns and Allen, Comedy
A production for a studio of soldiers, and likely for airing over AFRS, since the commercials are missing, and extra music is added throughout the show. George politely complains about the new maid. Mrs Regan may be a good enough cook, and family servant, but he's getting tired of having chowder all the time, especially for breakfast. Bill enters to hear about how George was offended at Gracie defending Mrs Regan. Will it end up in a sponsor message? Will Gracie be able to snap George out of his mood?

Performing live for troops at Terminal Island. We first look in at the office of a Hollywood producer, and Ida Lupino complaining about the part in a play. Elsewhere, Gracie admires her big, strong, dream man, George. Is she buttering him up to soften the blow about a fender bender she kinda had in the car? Will she be giving away any secrets when Ida arrives to ask for advice in being a housewife? Gracie gives a talk on the birds and the bees. Bill Goodwin shows up to help with the advanced training for Ida. That means he's going to lay on the sponsor message.
