00:00Another cup of Maxwell House coffee, George?
00:03Sure. Pour me a cup, Gracie.
00:05You know, Maxwell House is always good to the last...
00:08...drop.
00:10That drop's good, too.
00:12Yes, it's Maxwell House Coffee Time, starring George Burns and Gracie Allen.
00:18With yours truly, Bill Goodwin, the music of Meredith Wilson and his orchestra...
00:32...and our happy postman, Mel Blanc.
00:35For your Thursday night comedy enjoyment, it's George and Gracie.
00:39And for your everyday coffee drinking enjoyment, it's Maxwell House.
00:43The coffee that's always good to the last drop.
00:48Maxwell House Coffee Time
00:56Last Thursday, George and Gracie celebrated their 15th anniversary in radio.
01:01And all week, messages of congratulations poured in.
01:04Gracie is now busy pasting them in her scrapbook.
01:07This telegram from Jack Benny was short, but sweet.
01:10It's just three words.
01:12Congratulations, Jack.
01:16Correct.
01:21Good old Jack. So thoughtful. A true friend.
01:25Yes. This one is one of my favorites.
01:28Best wishes on your anniversary.
01:30When I listen to Burns and Allen, I feel very proud of my family name.
01:35Signed, Fred Allen.
01:37I like that, too.
01:38Yeah. But this one puzzles me, George.
01:40I don't feel so good.
01:42Signed, Bob Burns.
01:48I'm confused, too. I wonder what he means.
01:51Did you know I got a telegram from Ma Perkins?
01:54Ma Perkins? Now, read it.
01:56So you've been on the air 15 years with George Burns.
01:59And I thought I suffered more than anybody in radio.
02:06Somebody sent that for a gag.
02:08We received congratulations from just about everybody.
02:11Yeah, everybody but Al Jolson.
02:13I thought I'd hear from Al after singing that duet with him last week.
02:17When I pull showers in my caravan
02:20Oh, I forgot to tell you.
02:22George, Al Jolson sent you a long wire.
02:24Give me a chance. He didn't let me sing last week.
02:27Oh, he sent me a long wire?
02:29Yes.
02:30Really? Well, read it.
02:31Well, I can't. It's failing wire, and he wants you to twist it around your throat.
02:36Professional jealousy.
02:39No, I'll answer this.
02:42Good morning, Missy Burns.
02:45Here's your mail.
02:47Oh, thank you, Mr. Postman.
02:49May I add my congratulations to the many you have received on your 15 years in radio?
02:54Oh, thanks again.
02:56I wish my wife Bertha was on the radio.
02:59I'd tune her in every day.
03:01You would?
03:02Yeah.
03:03Yeah.
03:04Just for the pleasure of shutting her off.
03:08She talks a lot, huh?
03:10That woman couldn't keep her mouth shut if she was Nora Prentiss.
03:15Mr. Postman, maybe I'd understand your attitude better if I knew more about your wife.
03:20What does she look like?
03:21Well, when I look at Bertha, I think of Lana Turner.
03:25Oh, really?
03:26Yes, but it doesn't help I gag anyhow.
03:31Well, thank goodness George and I are happy together.
03:34If you want to stay that way, don't show him the morning mail.
03:37It's full of bills marked two months overdue.
03:40Oh, dear, look at them.
03:42Gas, water, lights.
03:44Oh, dear.
03:45If George sees these, he'll throw me out of the house.
03:47That's what a husband should do.
03:49The last time my wife neglected the bills, I said,
03:52Hit the road, Bertha.
03:54Uh, what happened?
03:56She hit the road with me.
03:59Well, goodbye, Mrs. Burns.
04:01And remember, keep smiling.
04:10Oh, George will have a tizzy if he sees these overdue bills.
04:13Gee, think fast, Gracie.
04:15Well, I see the mail came.
04:17Anything important?
04:18No, no, no.
04:19Just some old letters of congratulation.
04:21I'll throw them away.
04:22Wait a minute.
04:23The top one is from the water company.
04:25Did we get congratulations from the water company?
04:28Yes, yes.
04:29They want you to take a drink on them.
04:34There's a letter there from the gas company.
04:36They want you to take some of their product, too.
04:43Let me see that letter.
04:44Oh, never mind, dear.
04:45I'll read it to you.
04:47Mr. George Burns,
04:49please permit,
04:50uh, please permit the gas company
04:53to congratulate you on your 15 years in the radio.
04:56We are proud of our gas.
04:58Hope you are the same.
05:05Give me that letter.
05:0760 days overdue.
05:09Please remit or suit will be filed.
05:12Gracie.
05:13Happy anniversary to you.
05:17Never mind that.
05:18What happened to the gas money?
05:21Suddenly my mind is a blank sheet.
05:23Suddenly, she said.
05:24Gracie, if this bill isn't paid,
05:26they'll come over this afternoon and shut off our gas.
05:28Oh, no, they won't.
05:29What makes you so sure?
05:30They shut it off this morning.
05:34Then I won't get any breakfast.
05:35Not even coffee.
05:36No.
05:37Okay.
05:38Bring me a glass of water.
05:39Yes, dear.
05:40I'll be back in ten minutes.
05:41Ten minutes?
05:42Well, I have to go next door for it.
05:46They shut off the one, too?
05:48Uh-huh.
05:49And you told me these were letters of congratulations?
05:52Well, letters of congratulations.
05:53Now I see the light.
05:54Oh, did they turn those back on?
05:59Now the electricity.
06:00Holy mire.
06:01I gave you the money to pay these utility bills.
06:04Where did it go?
06:05All right, I'll tell you.
06:06And you'll be ashamed to shout it at me.
06:08I gave that money to a girl who supports her family.
06:11Really?
06:12Yeah.
06:13She supports them by selling hats at Jack's Fifth Avenue.
06:18Your friends are dead, you call me that.
06:21I didn't call you anything.
06:22Well, you were thinking it.
06:24You're right.
06:26Hi, Bertha.
06:27Oh, hi, Bill.
06:28Say, I've been pushing on the door buzzer.
06:30It doesn't seem to work.
06:31Nothing works around here.
06:32Thanks to Gracie.
06:34Yeah, I know.
06:35How long are you going to let her support you?
06:41I'm in no mood for jokes, comedian.
06:43Gracie, what's the matter with the little man this morning?
06:45Oh, he's upset, Bill.
06:47It's hard for him to face life.
06:49Must be kind of tough for life to face him, too.
06:53Why don't you get a hen or rinse so people will think you're Red Skelton?
06:56No, no, Barry, stop that.
06:58George has a right to be angry, Bill.
07:00I squandered the household money.
07:02Yeah, Bill.
07:03Why can't Gracie remember what Benjamin Franklin said?
07:05A penny saved is a penny earned.
07:07Well, naturally, Gracie wouldn't remember it like you would, George.
07:09You heard Franklin say it.
07:15Okay, funny man, make your jokes.
07:17But I'm going to lay down the law right now.
07:19Gracie, a house should be run like a business.
07:21Yes, dear.
07:22You've got to have a system for your housekeeping.
07:24Oh, I'm very systematic.
07:26I have a place for everything.
07:27I keep the rent money in the old coffee pot, and I keep the...
07:30Then why did the landlord come to me for the rent money yesterday?
07:33Oh, well, that was a misunderstanding.
07:35I was busy when he came, so I said,
07:37go to the old pot and get the money.
07:39And...
07:45I'm going downtown and pay these bills.
07:48But from now on, I want this house run like a business.
07:52Hey.
07:53Sounds like the little man really wants you to go into business, Gracie.
07:56You going to try it?
07:57Yes, Bill.
07:58It's a wife's duty to give her husband anything he wants.
08:00From now on, I'll give George the business.
08:05I bet you will at that.
08:09I bet you will at that.
08:30In the gloaming.
08:31Meaning, uh, in the twilight, huh, Meredith?
08:33That's right, Bill.
08:34And mighty lovely music any time of the day.
08:37Talk about your hit tunes.
08:39Gosh, folks have been singing this one for close on to 70 years.
08:42Yes, and it's just as popular as ever today, Meredith.
08:45You'll hear it by the fireside on a winter's night.
08:48Hear it wherever there's dancing, and the lights are bright.
08:51Sweet is the memory of love's first song.
08:54It's a treasured and well-loved part of our musical tradition.
08:57A warm and sentimental part of our American theme.
09:01Makes me think how down through the years
09:04Maxwell House coffee has come to be such a familiar
09:07and well-loved part of the American theme, too.
09:10We Americans love coffee.
09:12Have made it our national drink.
09:14And today, more people buy and enjoy Maxwell House
09:18than any other brand of coffee at any price.
09:21It's Maxwell House wherever you go.
09:24Flavor explains this nationwide preference.
09:27That's good to the last drop.
09:29Maxwell House flavor.
09:31Results from the skillful blending of these premium Latin American coffees.
09:36Monezales for mellowness.
09:42Medellins for richness.
09:48Other choice coffees for vigor.
09:54And Bucaramangas for full body.
10:02The sum of which is great coffee at its flavor peak.
10:06So friends, why not know the very best in coffee goodness?
10:10Coffee pleasure.
10:12You can for just a fraction of a penny more per cup
10:15than you'd pay for the cheapest coffee sold.
10:17Simply say, Maxwell House.
10:20Always good to the last drop.
10:40I'm glad you dropped in, Marius.
10:42How do you like my office?
10:43Like it fine, Gracie, but why have you got an office?
10:45Well, George said if I ran the house like a business, I'd save the money.
10:49Well, what have you done so far?
10:51Oh, I bought a desk, a typewriter, two filing cabinets, and a water cooler.
10:56I wonder how much I've saved him already.
11:00Plenty, I'll want.
11:02And now, of course, I'll have to hire a secretary.
11:05Someone to file the filings and vouch the vouchers
11:09and separate the invoices from the outvoices.
11:13Well, perhaps I could qualify for the position, Gracie.
11:16All right, I'll interview you and see if you make good.
11:19Let's have a look at your legs.
11:23My legs?
11:24Yeah, businessmen seem to prefer secretaries with good legs.
11:27But I can't imagine why.
11:29Oh, I'll bet I know why.
11:31Suppose the boss doesn't go home to dinner but stays late at the office with his secretary.
11:35Well?
11:36Well, if she has good legs, she can run out and get him a sandwich.
11:40Oh, oh, that must be it.
11:43Well, now, let's see if you have the other qualifications for a secretary.
11:47Do you know how to write shorthand?
11:49No, I'm afraid not.
11:50Oh, well, it doesn't matter.
11:51I don't know how to speak it either.
11:54How's your spelling?
11:56Well, I was considered an excellent speller.
11:58Back in my hometown of Mason City, Iowa, I was always in demand for spelling bees.
12:02Oh, what's so great about spelling a simple word like bees?
12:06Well, uh, by spelling bees, I meant bees...
12:09Oh, you'll have to do better than that if you want to be my secretary,
12:11because I'm quite a speller myself.
12:13Go on, spell a word.
12:15If it's right, I'll hire you.
12:16Very well.
12:17Uh, anthropomorphic.
12:20A-N-P-H-R-O-P-O-M-O-R-P-H-I-C.
12:26Try another word.
12:30What? Uh...
12:32Consanguinity.
12:35C-O-M-S-A-N-G-U-I-N-I-C-Y.
12:41Uh, try cat.
12:42C-A-T.
12:43Good.
12:48Well, I'll go eat some lunch, Gracie, and come right back.
12:50Oh, no, you won't have time for lunch.
12:52I've got some important letters to dictate.
12:54You want me to take dictation on an empty stomach?
12:57Oh, certainly not. Take it out of the notebook.
13:00Now, let's get busy.
13:10Gracie, I'm home.
13:12Where are you?
13:14Maybe she's in the den.
13:16Gracie, what goes on here?
13:19Why is Meredith sitting on your lap?
13:21Oh, where do you expect him to sit? He's my secretary.
13:28Secretary?
13:29Well, yes. You tell me to run the house like a business, so I'm doing it.
13:33Gracie, I want to talk to you.
13:35Uh, do you have an appointment, sir?
13:41No, I don't have an appointment.
13:43Then, uh, come back next week. G.A. is in conference.
13:48G.A.?
13:49G.A.?
13:51That's what we employees call the boss.
13:53Well, I want to talk to G.A. right now.
13:57What is the nature of your business, sir?
13:59Oh, quiet and get off my wife's lap.
14:01George, please, you're interrupting my dictation.
14:04Take another letter, Wilson.
14:05Yes, G.A.
14:06I want a copy of this sent to every grocery store in California.
14:09Ready.
14:10Dear grocery store,
14:12the, um, the kitchening division of Gracie Allen, Incorporated
14:16is interested in the immediate purchase of half a dozen eggs.
14:19I wouldn't have to...
14:21I wouldn't have taken any part in this business.
14:23I'd run this myself.
14:25Oh, I'm fortunate.
14:26Let me see.
14:27Is interested in the immediate purchase of half a dozen eggs.
14:30They, um, they must be complete with yolks, whites, and shells.
14:35Well...
14:36Um...
14:37Please quote me a price,
14:39and within ten days I will notify the lowest bidder.
14:42Yours very truly.
14:43Accepted. Accepted. Accepted.
14:45Uh, Wilson, read that last sentence back to me.
14:48Uh, yours very truly, etc. etc. etc.
14:51Yeah.
14:52Put in another acceptor.
14:53We're a bit concerned.
14:54Yes, ma'am.
14:56I'll, uh, get these out at once.
14:57Well...
14:58Hmm, now, Burns,
14:59I can spare you a moment or two.
15:01What's on your mind?
15:02Look, Gracie,
15:03I admit I asked you to run the house like a business.
15:06Okay?
15:07I made a mistake.
15:08Oh, no, not at all.
15:09It's wonderful.
15:10Remember how I used to keep my important bills and receipts
15:13crammed into coffee pots and sugar bowls in the kitchen?
15:15Yes.
15:16Well, now I have a filing cabinet.
15:18Well, that is better.
15:19Which, here, I keep the coffee pots and sugar bowls in there.
15:26Gracie...
15:27You're talking to a real businessman now.
15:29Oh, that reminds me.
15:30I have to look out the window again.
15:32Why do you keep looking out the window?
15:34I'm watching the A&P.
15:35What for?
15:36Well, a businessman has to keep his eye on the market.
15:43Now, Gracie, let's have a nice, quiet little talk.
15:46Now, I appreciate you trying to run the...
15:48Find me a G.A.
15:49The man is here to demonstrate that office equipment you ordered.
15:51Oh, good.
15:52Send him in.
15:53Office equipment?
15:54How do you do?
15:55It is always a pleasure to address the purchaser of a truth-told dictaphone,
15:58which I am here to demonstrate.
16:00Ah, it is so simple.
16:02Let us say we are working late and a brilliant thought occurs to us.
16:05We simply grasp the truth-told dictaphone in our left hand...
16:08Gracie, did you really order this thing?
16:10Yes, George.
16:11Go ahead, mister.
16:12How do you do?
16:13It is always a pleasure to address the purchaser of a truth-told dictaphone,
16:17which I am here to demonstrate.
16:19Ah, it is so simple.
16:20Wait a minute.
16:21Wait a minute.
16:22You said that once.
16:23Just skip that part.
16:24Well, gee, I can't.
16:25This is the way they taught me to spiel at the factory,
16:27and if I don't say it all the way through, I get mixed up.
16:32My ears don't take long, honest to God.
16:35Well, you go right ahead, mister.
16:37Say it the way you learned it.
16:38How do you do?
16:43It is always a pleasure to address the purchaser of a truth-told dictaphone,
16:46which I am here to demonstrate.
16:48Ah, it is so simple.
16:50Let us say we are working late and a brilliant thought occurs to us.
16:53And it will, too.
16:54I beg your pardon?
16:55I say, and it will, too.
16:56I'm very brilliant.
16:58Yeah.
16:59Uh, grasping the dictap...
17:01Uh...
17:02Uh...
17:03Uh...
17:05Uh, pressing the truth-told...
17:07Uh...
17:09How do you...
17:10Oh, no!
17:12Oh, no!
17:17It is always a pleasure to address the purchaser of a truth-told dictaphone,
17:20which I am here to demonstrate.
17:22Ah, it is so simple.
17:24Oh, it doesn't sound so simple to me.
17:27Gracie, let the man finish his sales talk so I can throw him out.
17:32Go ahead, two-toned.
17:33How do you do?
17:41How do you do?
17:47It is always a pleasure to address the purchaser of a truth-told dictaphone,
17:50which I am here to demonstrate.
17:52Well, why throw him out?
17:53Gracie, please.
17:55How do you do?
17:58It is always a pleasure to address the purchaser of a truth-told dictaphone...
18:01Well, I think he's mine.
18:02How do you...
18:03Oh, no!
18:09There's no business like show business.
18:11Meredith Wilson and his music.
18:32Oh, no!
19:03Oh, no!
19:05Oh, no!
19:07Oh, no!
19:09Oh, no!
19:11Oh, no!
19:13Oh, no!
19:15Oh, no!
19:16Oh, no!
19:32Oh, no!
19:34Oh, no!
19:36Oh, no!
19:37Oh, no!
19:38Oh, no!
19:39Oh, no!
19:40Oh, no!
19:50Well, we got rid of the two-toned salesman.
19:53Now, please, Gracie, let's have a nice, quiet little talk.
19:56Just a moment, Burns.
19:57Oh, Wilson!
19:58Yes, dear?
19:59I'll be in conference, but I don't want to speak to anyone unless it's urgent.
20:03What do you consider urgent?
20:04If anyone wants to speak to me.
20:05Okay, G.A.
20:08Now, Burns, let's hear what you have to say, and keep it short, I'm a busy man.
20:12Yes.
20:14Now look, Gracie, when I asked you to run the house like a business,
20:18I didn't mean for you to make yourself for a wooer.
20:21All I want you to do is pay the bills on time and keep track of...
20:24Excuse me, G.A.
20:25Yes, Wilson?
20:26Mr. Goodwin to see you.
20:27Oh, send him in.
20:28Gracie, how do you do?
20:30It is always a pleasure to address the purchaser of Maxwell House Coffee,
20:33which I am here to demonstrate.
20:35Oh, it is so delicious.
20:37Bill, it sounds like you ran into the truth home salesman.
20:39Yeah, I did.
20:41What a schmo that guy is, Gracie.
20:44I said nice day, and he went right into his routine.
20:48He's a schmo, all right.
20:49Well, sure.
20:50An intelligent salesman makes a conversation before he mentions his product.
20:54He leads into it gradually.
20:56I'll show you.
20:57You say nice day to me, George.
20:59Nice day.
21:00Isn't it?
21:01Maxwell House Coffee is rich.
21:05Paul is right.
21:06Delicious and mellow.
21:07That famous Maxwell House flavor, you know,
21:10is the result of careful selection and blending of premium Latin American coffee,
21:14gradient roasted to perfection.
21:16It's no wonder more people buy and enjoy Maxwell House
21:18than any other brand of coffee in the world.
21:20I thought you'd never get the Maxwell House Coffee.
21:23Love that subject.
21:24Love it.
21:25I don't think I can switch any conversation in the world to Maxwell House Coffee.
21:28Well, not now, Bill.
21:29I've got to get Gracie out of business.
21:31She thinks she's a Woolworth.
21:32And it's Woolworth your time to try Maxwell House.
21:35It's the very best in coffee drinking pleasure.
21:37Run along, Bill.
21:38You'll never run along, Bill, if you're grocer, if you buy Maxwell House.
21:42It costs but a fraction of a penny more per cup than the cheapest coffee you can buy.
21:46Bill, goodbye.
21:47Goodbye? It's a wonderful buy.
21:50That's why Maxwell House is the choice of so many millions of Americans today.
21:54They know today's coffee buy is Maxwell House.
21:56Out, Bill, out. You can finish that in the hallway.
21:58Hallway's good to the last drop.
22:00Goodbye, Bill.
22:02Now, Gracie, let's have a nice quiet little talk.
22:05When I said to run the house like a business, I didn't mean for you to...
22:08Excuse me, G.A.
22:09On your call to New York, the lines are still tied up.
22:12Oh, keep trying, Wilson.
22:13Very well.
22:15Why are you calling New York?
22:17Well, George, I'm in business to save you money.
22:19Your favorite steak is a New York cup.
22:25So?
22:26So I'll call New York and buy a direct.
22:28You'll save a fortune.
22:31Gracie?
22:32I'm also calling Philadelphia.
22:33For?
22:34Cream cheese.
22:35Cream cheese, that's awesome.
22:37And of course I'll call Boston.
22:38Baked beans?
22:39What else?
22:41I need a pair of garters. Why don't you call Paris?
22:43That's a good idea.
22:44Put down the phone.
22:48Now listen, Gracie, when I said to run the house like a business, I didn't mean to...
22:52Excuse me, G.A.
22:53G.A., he's watching you.
22:56The man is here to demonstrate the comptometer you ordered.
22:59Well, show him in, Wilson.
23:01How do you do?
23:05Not you again.
23:06Yes, and I'd appreciate it if you'd let me finish this time.
23:10Yeah, you go right ahead, mister.
23:12I'd just like to see an interrupter.
23:15How do you do?
23:17It is always a pleasure to address the purchaser of a mass-model comptometer which I am here to demonstrate.
23:23Oh, it is so simple.
23:25I dare him to interrupt you.
23:29Gracie?
23:31How do you do?
23:34It is always a pleasure to address...
23:35Oh, I'm sorry, that was my fault.
23:41G.A.
23:47George, why didn't you let him demonstrate the comptometer?
23:51Now I won't know how to comptom.
23:54Gracie, let's have a little talk.
23:55When I told you to run this house like a business, I didn't mean...
23:58G.A.
23:59G.A.
24:00I've got that advertising agency on the phone.
24:02Oh, button, button, zippering, button?
24:05Yes, G.A.
24:06Well, tell him I want to buy full-page ads in every magazine.
24:09Hey, hold on. You're buying full-page ads?
24:11Well, of course I am. I'm in business now, and advertising is the best form of business.
24:15What are you going to advertise?
24:18Hang up on him, Wilson.
24:22Well, don't I make a wonderful executive?
24:24Simply great.
24:25Oh, you used to say my head was only good for wearing hats.
24:28But now I've developed a head for business, too.
24:31You're married to a woman with two heads.
24:36That explains a few things.
24:39Now, Gracie, when I told you to run this house like a business...
24:41Excuse me, G.A.
24:42G.A.
24:44The man is here to demonstrate the inter-office communicator that you ordered.
24:47Oh, send him in, Wilson.
24:58Nothing like that can drive you crazy.
25:00Well, how can I save you money if you won't let me run the house like a business?
25:04Gracie, listen to me. When I ask you to run business...
25:07Excuse me, G.A.
25:08I just got the report from the grain exchange.
25:10The price of wheat is going up two cents a carrot.
25:12Oh, well, we've got to move fast.
25:14Rush down to the store and buy 400 loaves of bread.
25:18400 loaves of bread?
25:20Well, wheat's going up.
25:22In four or five months, we'll make a killing.
25:24In four or five months, the bread will be moldy.
25:28Moldy?
25:29Moldy, yes.
25:30Wilson, call Mayo Brothers and see what they're paying for penicillin.
25:37Okay, that does it. You're through.
25:39We're good. I've got a going business.
25:41And I know just where it's going.
25:44Well, I've still got a nickel to my name.
25:46You mean you want to buy me out?
25:48If necessary, I'll buy you out.
25:49How much for the business?
25:50Well, shall we say $1,000?
25:53Shall we say $10,000?
25:54Okay, $10,000.
25:55I meant $10,000.
25:56Oh.
25:57George, don't be silly.
25:58Look at this lovely office furniture.
26:00And look at this nice comptometer.
26:02I don't want a comptometer.
26:03I don't know how to run it.
26:05How do you do?
26:06It's all right.
26:07Okay, okay, okay.
26:09I'll still give you $10.
26:11Sold.
26:12I'm still stuck.
26:14Any further instructions, G.A.?
26:16Oh, no, Wilson.
26:17You're no longer my employee.
26:19I just sold the business to George.
26:21You did?
26:22Yes. Your new boss is G.B.
26:25You mean I'm his secretary now?
26:27That's right.
26:28Well, if I must, I must.
26:30Get off my lap, you chowderhead.
26:39New horizons are opening up today and every day

27:03Get full information by inquiring at the nearest hospital.
27:06Now here's George and Gracie.
27:08George, please don't be angry with me.
27:11I was only trying to help you.
27:12I'm not sorry, Gracie.
27:14I love you no matter what you do.
27:15Oh, George.
27:16With all your faults, I'd rather be married to you than Lana Turner.
27:19Really?
27:20Why, sure.
27:21Why do I care about a little dizziness?
27:23Oh, is Lana Turner dizzy?
27:30Join us again next week when we'll all be back.
