With Minnie, Donald Duck and all the Disney gang, it's Mickey Show. And today the gang goes through the magic mirror to attend the annual Mother Gooseland Jamboree at the court of old King Cole. And now. Hey, you want to know a secret? No. And now. Hey, John. Donald. And he's got a big business deal. Listen, Goofy, will you please take Donald in your big secret over in the corner till I get through? Now, ladies and gentlemen. Hi, Tom. Hello, Mickey. How are you, John? Oh, I'm fine, Minnie. How are you? I'm fine. How are you? Oh, I'm fine. How? Guess you're both fine. Say, Minnie, as I remember the last time you and Mickey went to Mother Goose land, old King Cole asked you to play for him. And you'd forgotten your music, remember? But we won't get caught this time. Mickey and I have something whipped up in case they call on us again. Whipped up nothing. She's had me practicing for three months. Three months? Well, this must be quite an opus. Well, no, but it is pretty difficult, though. It's called a chopstick. Oh, chopstick. Is that difficult? Sure, the way we play it. You see, Felix Mills made the arrangement for us. Oh, well, that's different. How about playing it for us? How about it, Mickey? Yeah, sure. I don't care. I suppose Felix's orchestra fits into it somewhere, though. Yes, it does a little. Okay, ladies and gentlemen, presenting that old classic Chopsticks. With Mickey and Minnie sitting side by side on the piano bench and Felix Mills in the orchestra playing the accompaniment a little. Oh. Oh, I'm sorry, Clara. Yes. And madam Clara Cluck will turn the pages for Mickey and Minnie. You know, yesterday I was out at the Santa Anita racetrack. So today I'm not particularly fond of the word tip. Nevertheless, I am going to give you a friendly tip that's not a risky gamble at all. My tip is this. Select either Pepsidin toothpaste or powder containing Irium and you can be sure you've picked a winner. You see, Pepsodent Containing irum literally works wonders on teeth whose true beauty is handicapped by dull, dingy surface stains. Yes, it speedily loosens these stubborn stains so that they gently brush away, revealing natural, pearly brilliance in record time. And all this without grit, pumice or bleach. So, for a sure safe bet that will win for you all the way, remember my tip. Pepsodent containing yerium. The payoff, A sparkling, naturally radiant smile. Okay. What is it, Donald? Well, about our secret. Oh, good. It's about our secrets. Yeah, me and Donald. You're gonna put the goose that laid the golden eggs under contract. The goose that laid the golden egg, huh? Yeah, yeah, she'll be at the Mother Goose Land Ball. You're sure of that, of course? Oh, absolutely. Yeah, yeah, we're gonna be our managers. Did you see this here contract, John? The last 15 pages are options. We pay our 2 bucks a week the first 52 years and $3 therein. I catch. And you two agents get all the golden eggs she lays, huh? Yeah. John, do you realize that we can get a dime a piece for them golden eggs? Well, Donald, you might get two bits on a rising market. Yeah, letting all. We're gonna star her in pictures. We might even put her in Voodooville if she can lay five a day. Well, do you two bandits actually intend to bring the goose back through the mirror? You bet. But don't you dare tell Mickey. No, no, no, no. Yes, sir. John, you know. No, John, a goose like that belongs in Hollywood. First off, she's got natural ability. Second off, the pictures is on the look for new faces. Hey, you two guys gotta move on. Who? Okay, Mickey, call the mirror. We're sure going with you. Okay. Wave. In a magic mirror, I command thee to appear. I hear I come. Master, what is thy command?
