Andy
Amos and andy. Today a very enticing ad appeared in the local paper telling about the new Rejuvenation Beauty Salon of Paris, which is opening just a few doors from the lodge hall. The kingfisher's wife, Sapphire, saw the ad and at this moment is on the phone discussing it with one of her friends.
Sapphire
Yes, Emily, the ads say they make you younger looking and more attractive too. I sure wish George would give me enough money to take the beauty treatment. Wait a minute. I hear him putting the key in the door now. Goodbye, Emily.
Kingfish (George)
Oh, dear. Well, hello there, honey. How is you?
Sapphire
Oh, fine. Say, George, tell me, how would you. Would you like to have a real attractive wife?
Kingfish (George)
Well, it certainly would be nice. But I was married to you,
Sapphire
George, I'm talking about myself. I know a new beauty shop that guarantees to make you look 15 years younger. What would you say if I come home someday looking like I did when I was 25?
Kingfish (George)
Well, I'd say the same thing I said then, honey, you gotta do something about that fear.
Sapphire
George, I ain't even got a job. Wrinkle cream.
Kingfish (George)
Wrinkle cream. What you want to put that on for? You loaded with wrinkles? No.
Sapphire
And another thing, George. When a woman gets along towards 40, she's got to help nature. For one thing, I gotta touch up my gray hair.
Kingfish (George)
Gray hair? You wouldn't hear me complaining if a few gray hairs growed in.
Sapphire
From where I'm standing, you ought to be happy if any color hair growed in.
Kingfish (George)
Well, I had my hair cut this way special. See, when I get in the. Send you at the barbershop. I figure that if this side catches on fire, I got a fire break in the middle here. Ain't going over there. Wait a minute. I'll answer the door. I'll answer. Well, Henry Van Forder. Come in.
Henry Van Forder
Just passing by, folks. How are you, Sapphire?
Sapphire
Hello, Henry. Sit down. I'm going back in the kitchen and get busy.
Henry Van Forder
Well, it sounds like you and Sapphire just had a little tiff. I hope there was no slugging no,
Kingfish (George)
Henry, I'm a wife is talking about looking old.
Henry Van Forder
Well, I think she looks old enough as she is.
Kingfish (George)
Well, my wife wants to go to some beauty parlor and get her gray hair fixed up. Haven't work on affairs, no less, though.
Henry Van Forder
Yes, they all want to stay young looking. My wife feels that outdoor exercise is the way to do it. Every morning for the past three, she goes around the bridal path of Central park for a brisk canter. It takes her about three hours.
Kingfish (George)
Three hours? I know somebody that made a complete loop on the bridal path in about 20 minutes.
Henry Van Forder
Well, my wife could too, if she had a horse.
Kingfish (George)
Well, the whole business of women trying to keep young and beautiful is really something, ain't it, Henry?
Henry Van Forder
It sure is. And that reminds me, I've got to run along and pick up my wife at the dancing school. She's attending the class in the ballet.
Kingfish (George)
Oh, your wife going in for ballet, huh?
Henry Van Forder
Well, all the women go there to lose weight. I saw a rehearsal for one of their dance recitals and they're doing the dance of the dying swan.
Kingfish (George)
Yeah, that ought to be pretty.
Henry Van Forder
Well, the ballet shows how the swans die and fall to the floor and then come to life again. But in this version, though, they plan to lower the curtain after the swan dies.
Kingfish (George)
Why is that?
Henry Van Forder
None of them women is able to get up off the floor.
Kingfish (George)
Well, let me sit down here at the large hall desk here and see if I can't put a cesspool or something on some of the members and get some money coming into place here. Who in the world could that be? Come in.
Mr. Livingston
How do you do? My name is Livingston. I'm looking for the Rejuvenation Beauty Salon of Paris.
Kingfish (George)
Yeah, yeah. Where is that place? I'll look it up in the phone book for you.
Mr. Livingston
I have things around this neighborhood somewhere.
Kingfish (George)
Rejuvenation. Rejuvenation. Let me get over to the reuse here. Beauty salon, huh?
Mr. Livingston
Yes, I'm planning to buy my wife a course of beauty treatments for $50.
Kingfish (George)
$50? Funny thing how you come in our beauty shop here looking for another beauty shop, ain't it?
Mr. Livingston
Oh, is this a beauty shop, too?
Kingfish (George)
Oh, certainly. This is just the office here. Oh, now I recall that other place you was looking for.
Mr. Livingston
Tell me, is that place any good?
Kingfish (George)
Well, it's not our policy to knock our competitors, but we sometimes refer to them politely as that second rate joint down the block. You know what I mean?
Mr. Livingston
Yes, yes, my wife seemed to like the name of the other place because it was French. Do you have a French Hairdresser.
Kingfish (George)
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. He was born and raised right in France. Yeah. Wait a minute. I see him coming down the hall now. His name is Andre.
Mr. Livingston
Oh, I'd like to talk to him. I'd really like to talk to him about doing my wife's work.
Kingfish (George)
Yeah, well, he only speaks two words of English. Come in, Andre.
Andy
Hi, Kingfish.
Kingfish (George)
Send me the two words. Yeah. Mr. Livingston, I'd like to have you meet Andre, the world's foremost French rejuvenator.
Mr. Livingston
How do you do, Andrew?
Kingfish (George)
He don't speak English, you see.
Mr. Livingston
Well, Poly vous France. Yes, Paul.
Kingfish (George)
Well, he don't speak French neither. You see, even though he lived in France, he always hung out with the Swedish crowd. Swedish? Didn't you, Andre?
Andy

Kingfish (George)
Pardon me. Pardon me, Musa, but Andre here is a little confused. You don't mind if I talk to him in Swedish, do you?
Mr. Livingston
No, no, go right ahead.
Kingfish (George)
Say, Andre, just. I g. Will pay $55 for UD Bay treatment. Smorgasbord.

Kingfish (George)
Hiya, fellas.
Andy
Say, Shorty, we done gone into business. What is the main equipment you gotta have for a successful beauty parlor?
Shorty
Well, the first thing you got to get is a big. What you got to have is one of the. What you really need is when you get women.
Kingfish (George)
One of the things we want specialize in is making the hair beautiful.
Shorty
Yeah. Well, I read in the beauty magazine that egg shampoo was the best thing for the scalp and hair. So this morning I brought down some eggs and Mr. Van Porter come in and I gave him a wonderful egg shampoo. I used three eggs on his hair?
Andy
Yeah. How'd it work?
Shorty
I thought it worked fine. But when Mr. Van Porter walked out, he said his hair felt a little lumpy. Next time I'm only going to boil there. May sweat three minutes.
Kingfish (George)
Well, we gonna try to make a lot of money, Shorty, I'm trying to
Shorty
get more business myself. And I'll give a special combination. A shave, a haircut, a shampoo, a massage and shoe shine for 25 cents.
Andy
Well, how can you do that without losing money?
Shorty
Well, I've been pretty lucky. So far I ain't had no customers.
Kingfish (George)
Tell me this. If you got any cream or something for a woman's gray hair.
Gabriel
Gray hair?
Shorty
Oh, say, wait a minute, fellas. I got a dozen jars of a concoction back here. I'm pretty sure that it's made for a woman's hair. Well, why don't you try it? It might be just a thing. It's got everything in it. You can have it for nothing.
Andy
Oh, that's great, Shorty. We'll take it and use it on the woman's head.
Shorty
Here you is, boy. It's all yours.
Kingfish (George)
Yeah. Now, suppose we want to get some more of this stuff. Where can we get it?
Shorty
Well, the fella that makes the SAP, he used to mix it up in that building next to the fish market on the corner. But he had to move.
Andy
Why'd they have to move? Couldn't he stand the smell of the fish.
Shorty
The fish market couldn't stand the smell of the salve.
Kingfish (George)
Andy, this reading room here at the large hall really look like a beauty parlor, don't it?
Andy
Yeah. Where'd you get that barber's chair at?
Kingfish (George)
Well, there's an old dentist chair that I borrowed from the junk man. And I got a looking glass on the wall there, bathroom scales on the floor and these jars of salve all lined up for the hair.
Andy
How does this long white coat look on me?
Kingfish (George)
Oh, you look like a French beautician. Just don't turn around to the back to the woman so she'll see that word Texaco. That's all you gotta watch out.

Well, we can squeeze her in for time, but from the size of her, we're going to have a lot of trouble squeezing her in that chair.
Kingfish (George)
Well now, what is your problem, Ms. Livingston?
Mrs. Livingston
Well, first of all, I've been putting on a little weight.
Kingfish (George)
Well, I don't see how. If you get any more, I don't know where you're going to put it.
Gabriel
Yeah.
Andy
How much do you weigh now?
Mrs. Livingston
Well, I guess it's somewhere between 125 and 150. I lost track of it.
Andy
Yeah, well, if you ever want to find it, look between 250 and 300.
Kingfish (George)
Andrea, maybe we could have Ms. Livingston step on the scales here and get her weight.
Andy
I don't think the scales go up that high.
Kingfish (George)
Well, maybe we can weigh her one foot at a time.
Andy
Yeah, or get another scales. Let her stand with one foot on each one.
Kingfish (George)
Well, let's try it anyway. Ms. Livingston, step right up on the scale.
Mrs. Livingston
Might small, but I'm anxious to see what the scales say.
Kingfish (George)
Yeah, well, with your stomach, when you get up there, if you can't look around curves, you better not look down. You ain't going to see nothing.
Andy
Yeah, step right up there, Ms. Livingston.
Mrs. Livingston
All right.
Kingfish (George)
Where did the hand stop, Andrew?
Andy
I think it flew out the window.
Mrs. Livingston
Well, I tell you, I'm very anxious to lose weight.
Kingfish (George)
Well, now, the first thing I do, I would cut down on my starches.
Andy
Yeah. Don't eat but one box a day.
Sapphire
Well, do you think I ought to
Mrs. Livingston
cut down on my calories?
Kingfish (George)
No, no, eat all the calories you want just so you don't fry them. That's all you.
Andy
That's right. Calories ain't fattening. I had a half a dozen of them for supper last night.
Kingfish (George)
Ms. Livingston, we'll give you some reducing tablets next time we see you.
Mrs. Livingston
Well, now, I'm especially anxious to have you work on my hair. You can see I'm getting prematurely gray.
Andy
Yeah, well, have a seat in the chair here and we'll give you a treatment.
Kingfish (George)
Yeah, sit down there. That's it. Now, Andrew, let's. Let's look at the scalp here and see what the situation is. Hold still there, Ms. Livingston. Mm. Got a bunch of follicles. All right.
Andy
Is they moving around?
Gabriel
No, no, no.
Kingfish (George)
I mean hair follicles. Oh.
Mrs. Livingston
Say, do you think you could change my gray hair?
Kingfish (George)
Andrew? Gonna work on it right now.
Andy
Yeah. Hand me that special hair stuff.
Gabriel
Yeah.
Kingfish (George)
Here he is, Andrew.
Andy
Now, I'll put a gob of it right here on the part there. Then I'll work it in all over your knob. Yeah, that's it.
Kingfish (George)
Yeah, rub it in good there. Oh, this is really a secret formula you was getting. Andre here won't even tell me what's in it.
Mrs. Livingston
Well, I can feel a burning sensation on my scalp already.
Andy
I can feel it on my hands, too.
Kingfish (George)
Oh, wonderful ointment. Ain't no Fly in this stuff.
Mrs. Livingston
But do you think this will make my hair curly?
Andy
It might. I notice one of my fingernails is curling up here.
Kingfish (George)
How's it coming, Andrew?
Andy
Well, there he is. I think that does it.
Mrs. Livingston
My scalp is really burning.
Kingfish (George)
Well, now, that proves the follicles ain't dead. I would say the operation pigs are.
Mrs. Livingston
Do I leave this on tonight?
Andy
Oh, sure. I'd even put more on. Rub some on your pillow too.
Kingfish (George)
Oh, and by the way, Ms. Livingston, here's a couple of jars of the stuff. Take it along with you. Give it to some of your friends. Maybe they'd like to come down for some treatments too.
Mrs. Livingston
Oh, thank you so much. When should I come again?
Kingfish (George)
Well, cool your head off and come back in three days. Just give the stuff time to work.
Mrs. Livingston
Thank you so much. Goodbye, gentlemen.
Kingfish (George)
Goodbye.
Andy
Say, Kingfish,
Kingfish (George)
What is this?
Andy
Look here. Look at the hair on the back of my hands where that stuff has been.
Kingfish (George)
Hmm. That give me an idea. This stuff might be a great brushless shaving cream.
Andy
You might not even need a razor.
Kingfish (George)
Well, anymore living since due back tomorrow. You know we told her to come back in three days.
Andy
Well, we're gonna put that mess on her head again. I'm gonna use a stick, I'll tell you that.
Mr. Livingston
Hello, this is Mr. Livingston speaking. Oh yeah, and I just want you to know that as a result of the treatment you gave my wife two days ago, she's losing her hair with a handful. And I'm going down and talk to the District Attorney.
Kingfish (George)
District Attorney?
Mr. Livingston
I'm going to have the order of your beauty salon put in jail. And I'm coming over there at 4 o' clock and I want my money back.
Gabriel
Goodbye.
Andy
Say, what is this thing about District Attorney you said? Kingp.

Kingfish (George)
A lot of what stuff?
Shorty
Well, to tell you the truth, King Friggs, I found a lot of different kind of salve and some jars that wasn't marked. And I got an idea that if I put them all together into one great big salve, something might come out.
Kingfish (George)
Something did come out. The woman's hair. Yeah, and I'm in trouble. The woman's husband is due here in five minutes. Wants his money back and go have the owner of this company put in jail.

Kingfish (George)
Oh, sure. Went over to the doctor a while ago and I said, doctor, I in bad shape. He looked at me and he say, I see you allergic to something. He took my blood pressure. Well, I wasn't allergic to that.
Andy
He wasn't, huh?
Kingfish (George)
He looked at my tongue. That wasn't allergic. So then he said to me, I gonna give you the allergic test. He scratched me 35 times with different things. And the minute he scratched my arm.

Andy
Yeah, they was all alike.
Lawyer Stonewall
You ain't got nothing to worry about. Cause it says on the label here, it says, use at your own risk. That puts you in the clear.
Kingfish (George)
Good.
Lawyer Stonewall
I'll call the man and tell him.
Kingfish (George)
Oh, Stonewall, you has done saved her life.
Andy
You sure is. Now he's in the clear. This will learn people to come to beauty shops they don't know nothing about.
Lawyer Stonewall

Kingfish (George)

Kingfish (George)
What's wrong with bringing home samples?
Lawyer Stonewall
He work in a barrel s theater.
Kingfish (George)
Yeah, well, it was sure nice of you to take me and Anda home tonight and attack. Yeah, well, I'm glad to do it, Kingfish. Cause from what you say, you two had a narrow escape.
Andy
Yeah, me and the Kingfish almost got into trouble.
Kingfish (George)
Yeah, but ha, ha, ha. Legally, we was in the clear. Yeah, you might be in the clear, but that was kind of a mean thing to do to the man's wife.

Sapphire
Well, I ain't going out, George. I just came in.
Kingfish (George)
Yeah, well, honey, I almost got in trouble today, but everything is fine and dandy now. I know one thing, though. There's a certain man in this town that's mighty embarrassed about the way his wife look. A man by the name of Mr. Livingston.
Sapphire
Livingston? Why, that's a coincidence. A Mrs. Livingston that I met at the Bridge Club two days ago gave me a jar of sav for my gray hair sapphire.
Kingfish (George)
For heaven's sake, you didn't use it, did you?
Sapphire
I already used it.
Shorty
And look, George, I ain't got a hat.
Gabriel
You better hurry down. Just like a poor Revere. Trees are coming into your hometown, boy, inside that freedom train you'll find a precious freight. You feel you those words of liberty and the document that made us great gate wild. You shout from steam, O will you. You can shoot a system full of poles. You can always question the people. But you can get your answer from the poll. That's how it's always been and ever will remain as long as all of us keep a riding on the freedom train. This song is a train song. It's a song about a train. Not the Atchison that begotten. Not the Chattanooga Choo Choo not the one at midnight for the state of Alabama. This song is a train song.

Episode Duration: Approximately 33 minutes (content summary: skips ads/announcements)
This episode of "Amos & Andy" centers on the Kingfish's latest scheme—starting the "Rejuvenation Beauty Salon of Paris." Driven by the town's interest in looking young and beautiful, especially among the women, Kingfish partners with Andy to launch a dubious beauty salon, after conning a customer into paying for treatments. As predictable mishaps ensue, the plot becomes a classic comedy of errors, involving a dangerous homemade hair treatment, legal threats, and plenty of social satire.

Failed beauty treatment:
Legal loophole revelation:
This episode is a hallmark of "Amos & Andy," blending social satire with slapstick and scheming. Kingfish and Andy’s attempts to capitalize on the beauty craze, their gross incompetence, and comic self-preservation turn a simple business venture into an escalating farce. Despite the absurdity, a well-timed legal technicality saves the protagonists—though not before plenty of laughs and a final gag that suggests more trouble at home. The show captures the charm and structure of Golden Age radio comedy, remaining engaging for listeners even decades later.
