Caught the rebroadcast of the Oct. 17, 1946 episode of the Burns & Allen show last night on the Antioch OTR station (1710 AM in Ohio, http://radio.macinmind.com/ online). In the midst of the adventure, titled “Gracie Wants George to Replace Clark Gable,” the show’s announcer rushes in when he hears the name “Louella Parsons.”
“Louella’s going to be here? I have a story for her column.”
I just found out that Ronald Reagan beats his wife Jane Wyman every morning.”
“Oh, no!”
“Yes, he beats her into the kitchen and helps himself to the first cup of refreshing Maxwell House Coffee.”
