John Heal
The Pepson & Co. Presents Mickey Mouse with Mini Donald Duck and all the gang. It's Snow White Day on Mickey Show. This afternoon Mickey Mouse and the Pepsid and company bring you all the characters from Walt Disney's first feature length triumph, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
Mickey Mouse
And.
John Heal
And here's one of the hit tunes from the picture played by Felix Mills and his orchestra. Whistle while you work. With the first week of 1938 gone, dare I ask you how you're coming with your New Year's resolutions? Well, don't we all? But there's one resolution you really should keep, if only from the selfish motive that it's bound to repay you in dividends of joy and happiness. So just resolve right now that come what may, for the balance of the new year, you're going to brush your teeth twice, twice each day with Pepsodent toothpaste containing Irum. Or if you prefer, powder with Pepsodent tooth powder also containing remarkable Irum. You'll be thrilled and delighted when you see how speedily Pepsodent containing Irum makes your smile far brighter. Your teeth more naturally bright and sparkling than you perhaps ever thought they could be. And really, it's no trick, no secret. It's simply that Pepsodent alone contains that marvelous new cleansing agent known as Irum. And with the help of Irium, Pepsodent can easily and quickly brush away dingy surface stains. Those same surface stains that actually hide the true beauty of your smile. With these masking surface stains gone, your teeth then glisten and gleam with all their glorious natural radiance. That, you see, is the miracle of Irium. Why not learn it for yourself? And now, here's the Disney gang and Mickey Mouse.
Donald Duck
Hi, folks.
Minnie Mouse
Hello, everybody.
Donald Duck
Hey, hey, where's Donald?
John Heal
I was just coming to that special announcement. Donald Duck will not be on this program.
Snow White
You mean that? Well, what's happened?
Mickey Mouse
John locked him in the attic.
Minnie Mouse
Locked him in the attic?
John Heal
That's right, Minnie. I figured he was a menace of the program. Last week he butted in on everybody.
Walt Disney
Lost his temper and boy, I'd like.
Donald Duck
To see him now.
John Heal
Don't worry, you won't see him this afternoon.
Mickey Mouse
Oh, gosh, gosh, I almost forgot. Here's a telegram for you, Mickey.
Donald Duck
Oh, thanks.
John Heal
What does the message say, Mickey?
Donald Duck
My dear vast, impatient public, pry your eyes and keep your shirts on. I'll be with you any minute now. Sign D. Duck.
Minnie Mouse
But Mickey, how could he.
John Heal
Don't worry, Minnie. I guarantee that Donald Duck will positively not appear on this broadcast.
Donald Duck
P.S. that's what you think.
Minnie Mouse
Well, how are you gonna do it, Josh?
John Heal
I'll show you how. Hey, Butch.
Goofy
Come on, boss.
Donald Duck
Oh, boy. Look at those tough mouses.
Mickey Mouse
What do you want, boss?
John Heal
You've locked the doors.
Walt Disney
Yeah, and garden them.
John Heal
And the windows are barred.
Mickey Mouse
Yeah, and what's more, out in the hall we've got a couple of duck blinds.
John Heal
Okay, well, get back to your posts. If that duck shows up here this afternoon, I'll crush him with my bare hands.
Walt Disney
What's the matter, John? Having duck trouble?
John Heal
Plenty.
Walt Disney
Oh, hello, Walt.
John Heal
Ladies and gentlemen, Walt Dis.
Walt Disney
I thought you'd remove the duck from the program.
John Heal
I still think so. You see, Walt, Radio just doesn't seem to be Donald's medium in the first place. You can't understand a word he says.
Walt Disney
Yeah, and if you could, you'd have to throw him off the program.
John Heal
Say, by the way, Walt, you haven't forgotten, have you, that today's the day you promised to introduce all the characters from Snow White and the Seven Dwarves?
Walt Disney
Right you are, John. Hey, Goofy.
Mickey Mouse
Yeah?
Walt Disney
Bring on the mirror.
Mickey Mouse
You want your brush and comb too?
Walt Disney
Oh, Goofy, the magic mirror. The one from Snow White.
Mickey Mouse
Okay, Wolf, here comes.
Walt Disney
There you are. Yeah, there we are. The mirror that knows all and sees all. Last week it took us back into the past, but this week we'll have it bring the past up to us. Okay, Mickey. Call on the magic spirit slave in the magic mirror.
Donald Duck
Come from the farther space. On wind and flame. I summon thee. Speak. Reveal thy face and make it snappy.
Goofy
I hear. I come.
John Heal
What seeketh thou of me today? Command me, master.
Goofy
I shall obey.
Donald Duck
Okay. O wondrous magic mirror, bid Snow White and her prince appear.
Walt Disney
Hey, gang. I want you all to meet the little princess, Snow White.
Minnie Mouse
Isn't she beautiful? Thank you. And how do you do, Mr. Disney?
Walt Disney
Hello, Snow White. I hope we didn't disturb you.
Minnie Mouse
Oh, no. When the mirror called me, I was thinking about the day long ago when I was scrubbing the palace courtyard dressed in ray.
Walt Disney
Well, that's great, because the reason I had the mirror bring you here was to have you sing exactly as you did that day.
Minnie Mouse
The Wishing well song?
Walt Disney
That's the one. And when you finish, the mirror will bring in the prince. And when you run back up into the castle, the prince will sing to you just as he did in the picture.
Minnie Mouse
Oh, Mr. Disney, I'd love it.
John Heal
All right, princess.
Walt Disney
Now you've gone over to the well to get another bucket of water. The birds gather around to watch and.
Snow White
You talk to them to know a secret Promise not to tell we are standing by a wishing well Make a wish into the well that's all you have to do and if you hear it a calling your wish will soon come true I'm wishing I'm wishing for the one I love to find me One year I'm hoping and I'm dreaming of the night One for the one I love to find me Find me today.
Goofy
Hello.
John Heal
Oh, wait. Don't be frightened.
Mickey Mouse
Please don't run away.
Goofy
Now that I've found you Hear what I have to to say One song I have but one song One song only for you One heart tenderly beating Ever entreating Constant and true One love that has possessed me One love thrilling me too One song my heart keeps singing of one love only for you.
Donald Duck
Gee, Walt, that was swell. What happened then?
Walt Disney
Well, Mickey, the wicked Queen was very jealous of Snow White. So she sent the huntsman into the woods to kill her.
Mickey Mouse
Gosh, Walt, did he.
Walt Disney
No, he just couldn't do it. He told her to run and hide. So she ran through the woods terrified, and finally fell to the ground, sobbing. And all the little woods animals, the birds and the squirrels and the rabbits and deer gathered round her and cheered her up. And she sang this song.
Snow White
With a smile and a song like a child Like a bright sunny day your care is fade away and your heart is young With a smile and a song Mother bear seems to away can a new rejoicing with you as the song is sung there's no use in grumbling when raindrops come tumbling Remember, you're the one who can fill my heart with. When you smile and you sing Everything is in tune and it's spring and life flows along With a smile and a song there's no youth in grumbling when raindrops comes humming Remember, you're the one who can fill my heart with my shadow With a smile and a song With a smile and so.
Donald Duck
Gosh, that was even better than the other one. Now, how about bringing on the wicked Queen?
Walt Disney
Okay, Mickey, you know how to get her here.
Donald Duck
Magic Mirror, do your stuff. Bring on the queen and make her top.
Walt Disney
It's the wicked Queen. Run, Snow White.
Doc
Hide.
Snow White
Apples.
Grumpy
Apples. Ripe, red, juicy apples. Who will buy my poisoned apples? Hello, Disney. Have a bite.
Walt Disney
No, thanks. Say, what's this I see sticking out from under all those apples in your basket?
Minnie Mouse
Oh, looks like a tuft of tail feathers.
Grumpy
That would seem to be a stowaway. My mistake. I think I shall have a night.
Walt Disney
Hello, Donald. Imagine meeting you here.
Grumpy
Why, it's not an apple at all. It's a darling little ducksy wuxy. Now, my fine gallant duck. Wouldn't you like a bite of his beautiful magic wishing apple? Oh, boy. This one I've always wanted. Make a wish, take a bite and your wish comes true. Isn't there some something, someone your little heart desires?
Mickey Mouse
Uh huh.
Grumpy
Shawla. Shirley Temple. Well, Shirley Temple you shall have. Shadow Temple. Now shame is surprised. Come, come, take a big bite before your wish gets cold. Okay, I guess.
Snow White
He did it. He did it.
Donald Duck
Why, he's turning into an egg.
Snow White
Hey, here, hold it up.
Minnie Mouse
Oh, let's listen to poor Dollo.
John Heal
My little feathered friend is an egg. Now, that gives me an idea. Come in here, boys. What do you have here? Take this egg and throw it as far as you can. Okay.
Mickey Mouse
Good.
John Heal
Now get back to the duck blinds. Well, Walt, that definitely gets rid of Donald on this program, huh?
Walt Disney
Okay, John, have it your own way.
Donald Duck
Hey, Walt, how about bringing the dwarfs on?
Walt Disney
Now, don't ask me, Mickey.
John Heal
Ask the magic mirror.
Donald Duck

John Heal
Why not make sure that 1938 is a banner year for you. Full of good times, fun and romance. Start right now. To use either pepsid toothpaste or powder containing irum and see what a big difference and naturally radiant smile may make in your life. For thanks to the miracle of Irium, Pepsodent can make your teeth shine and sparkle with such a glorious natural luster that your whole smile seems actually gayer, more dazzling. And your whole personality seems to sparkle with a new appeal. Yes, this new thrill can be yours in the year ahead. If you'll only change over right now to Pepsodent containing Irum. And remember, Pepsodent with Irum works safely because it contains no bleach, no grit, no pumice. And here's a special word to boys and girls. Pepsodent with Irum tastes swell. You're bound to go for its keen, tingling taste. Ask Mother to order either Pepsodent toothpaste or powder today. Both contain irrium. Say, thanks a lot, Walton Mickey, for bringing Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs here this afternoon.
Walt Disney
Oh, don't mention it, John. But say, how about relenting a little bit and letting Donald Duck and his Web Foot Sextet come on the program next week?
John Heal
Webfoot Sextet?
Walt Disney
Yes, sir. Six of the hottest ducks you've ever heard.
John Heal
Well, you mean that mess will do all the playing?
Walt Disney
Oh, no. We'll have Felix Mills's orchestra here, you know, just in case.
John Heal
Well, okay, Walt, but I'm a Guinness just the same. Thanks for this program anyway.
Walt Disney
So long, John. Goodbye, folks.

Podcast Summary: "Mickey Mouse Theater 1938-01-09 - 02) Snow White Day"
Released on January 7, 2025 by Harold's Old Time Radio
Introduction and Pepsodent Advertisement
The episode opens with John Heal introducing the special "Snow White Day" broadcast, highlighting the inclusion of beloved characters from Walt Disney's first feature-length animated film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. At [00:05], John enthusiastically announces:
“The Pepsodent & Co. Presents Mickey Mouse with Mini Donald Duck and all the gang. It’s Snow White Day on Mickey Show.”
Shortly after, the program transitions seamlessly into a promotional segment for Pepsodent toothpaste. John Heal delivers the advertisement, emphasizing the benefits of Pepsodent's new cleansing agent, Irum:
“With the help of Irum, Pepsodent can easily and quickly brush away dingy surface stains... It’s simply that Pepsodent alone contains that marvelous new cleansing agent known as Irum.” ([00:48])
This advertisement sets the stage, intertwining sponsorship with the show's narrative.
Donald Duck's Absence and Reveal
As the show progresses, Mickey Mouse ([03:24]) and Minnie Mouse ([03:25]) greet the audience, only to notice the absence of Donald Duck. Mickey inquires:
“Hey, hey, where's Donald?” ([03:26])
John Heal responds by revealing that Donald has been locked in the attic due to his disruptive behavior:
“I figured he was a menace of the program. Last week he butted in on everybody.” ([03:36])
Despite assurances, Donald's persistent attempts to join the program become a recurring source of humor and tension. At [04:00], Donald sends a telegram promising his return:
“My dear vast, impatient public, pry your eyes and keep your shirts on. I'll be with you any minute now. Sign D. Duck.” ([04:00])
This ongoing subplot adds a layer of comedic conflict, showcasing the challenges of managing a lively ensemble cast.
Bringing in Snow White via the Magic Mirror
Determined to enhance the program, Walt Disney ([05:06]) reminds John Heal of his promise to introduce characters from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. To fulfill this, Walt suggests using the magic mirror from Snow White's story. At [05:09], he instructs:
“Bring on the mirror.” ([05:09])
With the help of Goofy ([05:18]), the magic mirror is summoned, leading to the introduction of Snow White ([05:18]). Walt announces her arrival:
“Hey, gang. I want you all to meet the little princess, Snow White.” ([06:18])
Snow White's Performances
Snow White graces the stage with her enchanting presence, delivering heartfelt performances that resonate with the audience. She begins with the "Wishing Well Song" at [07:01], expressing her dreams and hopes:
“I’m wishing I’m wishing for the one I love to find me…” ([07:07])
Her uplifting songs not only entertain but also reinforce the show's fairy tale theme, providing a magical interlude amidst the comedic chaos.
Introduction of the Seven Dwarfs
The narrative deepens as Donald Duck attempts to introduce the Seven Dwarfs, leading to humorous confusion over their identities and numbers. At [15:23], Donald commands the magic mirror:
“From the cottage in the glen, please bring the seven little men.” ([15:13])
The dwarfs—Doc, Happy, Sleepy, Dopey, and others—are introduced with playful interactions. However, Donald hilariously claims to be an eighth dwarf, causing bewilderment:
Doc: “Who am I?” ([19:00])
Grumpy: “Number eight.” ([19:17])
This mix-up underscores the show's lighthearted and whimsical nature, blending character dynamics with comedic timing.
Musical Climax
The program reaches its musical climax with Snow White performing "Someday My Prince Will Come" alongside the Seven Dwarfs, who play an array of whimsical instruments. Snow White passionately sings:
“Someday my prince will come, Someday I will meet again…” ([25:12])
Goofy joins in, adding to the harmonious ensemble:
“Someday I'll find my love, Come on. To call my own…” ([26:20])
This performance encapsulates the essence of the fairy tale, emphasizing themes of love and hope through melodic storytelling.
Resolution and Final Advertisement
As the program winds down, the tension with Donald Duck is humorously resolved when he's transformed into an egg and removed from the broadcast ([14:48] – [15:06]). This clever resolution restores harmony to the show.
The episode concludes with another Pepsodent advertisement, reinforcing the sponsorship:
“If you’ll only change over right now to Pepsodent containing Irum.” ([27:07])
In a final interaction, Walt Disney suggests featuring Donald Duck and his ensemble, the Web Foot Sextet, in future episodes, hinting at returning comedic elements ([28:25]):
“But say, how about relenting a little bit and letting Donald Duck and his Web Foot Sextet come on the program next week?” ([28:25])
John Heal remains resistant but courteously acknowledges the suggestion:
“Well, okay, Walt, but I'm a Guinness just the same. Thanks for this program anyway.” ([28:35])
The show wraps up with a sign-off from John Heal, thanking listeners and promoting future broadcasts ([29:14] – [29:36]):
“Tune in again next Sunday at this same time when the PEPSID and Company will again present Mickey Mouse and all the Disney Gang.” ([29:14])
