Liberty Savings vary unwritten by Liberty Mutual Insurance Company and affiliates. Excludes Massachusetts. Out in Hollywood, all the characters you've seen in the silly symphonies and Mickey Mouse pictures are having the time of their young lives. Reading the newest issue of the Mickey Mouse magazine, Donald Duck is going wild. Over page four, he says it's simply marvelous. The fact that it's a picture of himself may have something to do with that opinion. Professor Goof, the mad scientist, is holding his copy upside down. Naturally, he's standing on his head so he can read it. Giddy Goat has just finished the contents of the magazine. He claims he never ate anything more delicious. Mickey's little nephew, Mortimer Mouse, says he enjoyed every word of the stories and will enjoy them a lot more when he learns how to read. RCA Photophone has brought them to you. On the screen, the magic key is turning fast. Now it's turning to California and Hollywood to bring you Walt Disney's immortal animated characters. Ladies and gentlemen, Walt Disney. We're on the air. Quiet, everybody. Quiet. Hey, quiet. We're on the air. Where'd you say we was, Mickey? Quiet, Goofy. We're on the airbus. Donald. Donald. The bit of operatic rehearsal, which unfortunately slop slipped into our program, warns you that a musical masterpiece is about to be unveiled. Before introducing Walt Disney and the Mickey Mouse Grand Opera Company, I think that we should hear from a young fellow whose seventh birthday the whole world is celebrating this week. Mickey Mouse. Hello. Well, Vicki, old boy, this seems like a swell chance to thank your many friends for all those birthday presents. Yeah. Well, well, well. Go on, go on. Oh, well, I. You.

And here's the young man behind the laugh, behind the fancy and homely truths which have made Walt Disney Pictures world honored and beloved. Walt Disney. Hello, everybody. For the benefit of nations who don't understand barnyard English, we send our greetings in a universal language music, a Rigoletto quartet, just as you will hear it sung in our new picture called Mickey's Grand Opera. Permit me to introduce the singing stars of this operatic triumph. First, that great romantic tenor and what a lover, Don Juan, Donald Duck. Donald. Stop. Donald. Donald.

We take you now to San Francisco. Five hundred years ago, Magellan sailed around the world. In three years. Less than 50 years ago, a man made the headlines of the world's newspapers. By making the trip around the globe in 100 days. You all remember when a year ago, the record of eight days was established in an airplane.

And Doug, here we have the Limu Emu in its natural habitat, helping people customize their car insurance and save hundreds with Liberty Mutual. Fascinating.

The sweat and that short smells like a dark Downey river Stubborn odors in just one wash when impossible odors get stuck in. Sam. Thank you and good afternoon. Paul Whiteman. Night after night and year after year, this theme has made you draw your chair a little closer to the radio because it meant that America's most beloved characters were about to come to you. The magic key turns now to Amos and Andy to be off. How you do, ladies and gentlemen? How you do, ladies and gentlemen? Well, Mr. Faranoff is on his way to New York and he listened to us out in the middle of the ocean. Ms. Faranoff, you find a lot of changes here in New York when you get back. It seems that Mr. Aylesworth, who has been reading about the different city officials in the various cities throughout the United States, he's been letting the kids come into the city hall and run the city for one day. So, Mr. Aylesworth, let the page boys here run NBC for one day and the vice presidents all acted as page boys. And Mr. Aylesworth wanted us to tell you that if you could let him do that for two weeks on a stretch while he thinks he could get NBC back on their feet again. Yeah. Mrs. Sarnoff, RCA has done wonders with the new radio set. First they had the magic brain, now they got the magic kids, the magic eye. There's got Thurston the magician at the factory now working. Oh, yeah, you can pull a rabbit out of radio set you make now anytime. Yeah. You know, ladies and gentlemen, we've been in radio for many years. And when we listen to a program like this today we is. Well, it's really hard to believe that such things are possible. Well, I know something that I don't think has ever been told about. You started when you started in radio. Tell them about that. Well, I started in radio during the war. I was a wireless operator in the navy. Yeah. And a seasick sailor. Yeah. But getting back to the serious side, ladies and gentlemen, as close as we are to radio and as long as we have been in it, there's something about it that almost frightens us when you stop and think that we can speak here in front of this ribbon microphone and our voices could be heard all around the world. Yeah, when we started in radio, it was down in New Orleans. We was in New Orleans putting on an amateur show. That was in 1920, I believe it wasn't. Yeah, they didn't have microphones like this. He used to broadcast in a megaphone boat. Had about two feet in diameter. Yeah, that's a big word there. You're getting out of character on me. I never will forget too. Right after we finished singing, a lady called up three, four blocks away and she said that she heard her. We said no fooling. Yeah. Neither one of us believed us. Then we started on radio a couple years after that, just for the fun of it. We used to sing songs together. We didn't have much harmony. Yeah, without harmony and without pay, we was called the Without Boys. Then we decided in 1925 to make radio our work. And instead of doing radio as a sideline, we gave radio all of our time and done nothing else. I never will forget the night that we started to do that blackface on the air. Remember that night? Took us from 12 o' clock midnight till 7 o' clock in the morning to write the first episode. Yeah, we showed it. Get under his records, didn't we? I don't think the sponsors of this program would have. Just sending a message to the listeners on the Air. So what you gonna say? Well, ladies and gentlemen, we have been in radio for many years. We have been with NBC for Pepson and Company going on seven years. We are both very grateful for many things. To you listeners who have tolerated us all these years, we are very grateful. We have been fortunate enough to have our help. You have taken our work seriously, has helped us. Why, we can truthfully say as we. The reason we don't permit an audience in the studio during our broadcast is because we feel a certain responsibility when we sit down in front of a microphone for our nightly episode. Our responsibility is to you who may be listening on your radio set. And we feel that we want to devote our entire time, attention and thought to the listeners who are sitting in front of a receiving set in some far off place. Our time is up. Yeah, that's right in. You know, we live by the watch, ladies and gentlemen. Yeah, we eat some, sleeps by the watch, keeps us hopping all the time. Yeah. But we is glad to be able to do it. I wish we had more time to talk to you. We've enjoyed it. And we want to thank RCA for including us on this fine program. And we hope that they'll let us talk to you again some Sunday afternoon. So good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Good afternoon, folks. Thank you, Amos, and thank you, Andy. And thanks, National Broadcasting Company.
