This situation comedy was a staple of the NBC Red Network from 1936 on, after originating on NBC Blue in 1935. One of the most popular and enduring radio series of its time, it ran as a stand-alone series from 1935 to 1956, and then continued as a short-form series as part of the weekend Monitor from 1957 to 1959. The title characters were created and portrayed by Jim and Marian Jordan, a husband-and-wife team that had been working in radio since the 1920s.

00:00The Johnson Wax Program with Bibber McGee and Mollie.
00:04♪♪
00:11The makers of Johnson's Wax and Johnson's Self-Polishing Blowcoat
00:14present Marion and Jim Jordan as Bibber McGee and Mollie
00:17with Donald Novus, Bill Thompson, and Billy Mills Orchestra.
00:20♪♪
00:29Ah, there's a gay Halloween party in progress tonight
00:32given by the McGee's next-door neighbors,
00:34the Throckmorton P. Gildersleeves.
00:36And among the guests we find many names from Wistful Vista's blue book
00:40plus two names from Wistful Vista's telephone book,
00:43Bibber McGee and Mollie.
00:45-♪♪
00:53Ah, it's quite a party, ain't it, Mollie?
00:54Ah, certainly is, McGee.
00:56But stop blowing cigar smoke in my face, Billy.
00:59Oh, excuse me, I thought you'd like it.
01:01This is one of the best cigars...
01:02Oh, there, McGee. Hello, Mrs. McGee.
01:04Mighty glad you could come over tonight.
01:06Well, thank you, Mr. Gildersleeve. It's a lovely party.
01:09I'll have to hand it to you, Gildersleeve,
01:10for thinking up clever games to play.
01:12Uh, clever games?
01:13Yeah, like hiding the cigars.
01:15Ha, ha, ha.
01:18How'd you ever think of hiding them
01:19in the bottom drawer of your dresser?
01:21Why, McGee, you had no business
01:23snooping in Mr. Gildersleeve's dresser.
01:25Oh, that's quite all right, folks.
01:26Always glad to have the guests make themselves at home.
01:28That's what I figured.
01:31If you'd like to check over my last bank statement, McGee,
01:34you'll find it in the desk in the library.
01:37You must be mistaken, Gildersleeve.
01:39I didn't see it, and I went all through that desk
01:41when I was looking for the cigars.
01:43Heavenly days, McGee. Don't be so snoopy.
01:45Why, Snoopy, I'm just alert.
01:47Incidentally, Gildersleeve,
01:48there's a letter on your desk from your tailor.
01:50You mean to tell me you pay 85 bucks
01:53for them suits of yours?
01:54Why, uh...
01:57Yes, uh, yes, I do, McGee.
01:59My goodness.
02:00McGee buys four of them for that price.
02:02Don't you do?
02:03Is that so?
02:04You mean he buys his clothes?
02:06What?
02:09Well, if you'll excuse me, folks,
02:10I'll see how the other guests are getting along.
02:12Have a good time.
02:14What does he mean, do I buy my clothes?
02:16Where does he think I get them?
02:17Well, if you get them where I think he thinks you get them,
02:20I think you'll think twice about asking.
02:23You mean you think I don't get them?
02:24Well, hello there, Molly.
02:25Hello, Fever.
02:26Gee, we're having fun.
02:27What are you doing, Mr. Wilcox?
02:28Oh, playing games.
02:29Come on in the other room.
02:30Boomer's going to do some sleight-of-hand tricks.
02:32Oh, swell.
02:33Come on, McGee.
02:34Now, ladies and gentlemen,
02:36for my first astounding bit of wizardry,
02:38I take this $5 bill.
02:41Hmm, don't seem to have a $5 bill.
02:44Will someone from the group pass me a $5 bill?
02:47Why, a $5 bill, Boomer.
02:48Can't you do it with a one?
02:50Certainly not.
02:51Five is a magical number.
02:53Five pennies in a nickel,
02:54five nickels in a quarter,
02:56and five quarters in a dollar and a quarter.
03:00Ah, thank you, Mr. Wilcox.
03:02Thank you, sucker.
03:04Now, watch me closely.
03:06Presto, abracadabra, bingo,
03:08and the bill has disappeared
03:10entirely without the use of mirrors or concealed wires.
03:14That's very good.
03:15All out, five, please.
03:17Now, with another simple twist of the wrist,
03:19I might say a slight pang of regret,
03:22I will restore the $5 bill.
03:25Presto, abracadabra, bingo,
03:28and here...
03:30Well, well, must have made a slip somewhere.
03:33Can't seem to bring it back.
03:35Oh, no, you don't, Boomer.
03:36Fork over that spin.
03:38Come, come, uncouth.
03:40Surely you're not accusing Horatio K. Boomer of chicanery.
03:44Have your $5 right here someplace.
03:47Now, where can I put that $5 bill?
03:49Let me look through my pocket.
03:50That guy's so light-fingered,
03:51he has to stick his hands under an anvil
03:53to get a manicure.
03:55And they better keep an eye on the anvil, too.
03:58Now, let me see.
03:59$5 bill, $5 bill.
04:01Where can I put that $5 bill?
04:03Ah, here it is.
04:05No, no, no, it isn't either.
04:07That's a photograph of my cousin, Guernsey Boomer.
04:10Good heavens, bow-legged, isn't he?
04:13Not naturally, my dear,
04:15but he's been ridden out of town on a rail so often
04:17his knees have lost touch with each other.
04:21Now, let me see.
04:22Here's an advertisement for asbestos seat covers.
04:25Very handy for driving hot cars.
04:29Package of corn removers.
04:31Here, give some to your script writer.
04:35Postcard from Minnie the Moocher.
04:37Ha-ha, the dear girl.
04:39Says she's now a facial masseuse in Texas.
04:42The little panhandler.
04:46Small bottle of mint sauce
04:48in case I want to take it on the lam.
04:51And a check for a short beer.
04:53Well, well, imagine that.
04:55An old $5 bill.
04:57Wonder if it could have blown out the window.
04:59I'll blow out the door and see.
05:01Here we are.
06:31Do-do-do-do-do-do-do, Do-do-do-do-do-do-do,
06:36Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do.
06:43Applause.
06:53MacGee, did Mr. Gilders show you his new
06:56automatic phonograph that plays both sides
06:58of world records without stopping?
07:00Wonderful, ain't it?
07:00Wonderful? Why, it's almost noon.
07:02I'll say it is.
07:03Just out of curiosity, I dropped the sleeping tablet in the needle box
07:06and it's been playing a man in his dream for 20 minutes.
07:08Ha ha ha.
07:10Well, hello there, Johnny.
07:12Hello, Choder.
07:13Quite a party, ain't it?
07:14Yes, it certainly is, Mr. Oldtimer.
07:17Hey!
07:18He says yes, it is.
07:20People go to parties for the same reason
07:21bald-headed guys go to burlesque shows.
07:24They at least have the illusion of letting their hair down.
07:26Ha ha ha ha ha!
07:28Hee hee hee hee hee!
07:33That's pretty good, Johnny.
07:34But that ain't the way I hit it.
07:37The way I hit it, the President's secretary said to him,
07:40Say, Mr. Roosevelt, he says,
07:43I haven't seen you made any appointments for next week.
07:47Nope, says Mr. Roosevelt.
07:49I thought I'd do my Christmas shopping early.
07:53Ha ha ha ha ha!
07:58Well, I gotta go in the other room, Johnny.
08:00They're bobbing for apples
08:02and I gotta get my girl out of there.
08:03She's a-pippin'.
08:04Ha ha ha ha ha!
08:06Ha ha ha ha ha!
08:08Ha ha ha ha ha!
08:10Ha ha ha ha ha!
08:12Now, the old creep's on a hoot, ain't he, Molly?
08:13It feels very...
08:14Ah, there, folks.
08:15How's everything going?
08:16Oh, just fine, Mr. Gildersmeade.
08:17By the way, when do we eat, Rocky?
08:19Well, we're serving a buffet supper a little later.
08:21Hot dog, you hear that, Molly?
08:22A buffet supper.
08:23Oh, that's McGee's favorite kind of a meal, Mr. Gildersmeade.
08:26He goes around a buffet table
08:27like Seabiscuit on a fast track.
08:29Ha ha ha ha ha!
08:30Well, that's fine, yes.
08:33Or is it?
08:34Ha ha ha ha ha!
08:35But before we have dinner, folks,
08:36we're gonna have a little more fun.
08:38Mrs. Uppington's gonna tell somebody's fortune.
08:40Oh, yes, they're drawing names in the other room now
08:42to see who the lucky man is.
08:43Hey, Mr. Gildersmeade!
08:44Huh?
08:45Hey, it looks like you're it, McGee.
08:46Oh, this should be very amusing.
08:48Yes.
08:49It's the first party we ever went to
08:51where McGee stuck out his hand instead of his neck.
08:53Ha ha ha ha ha!
08:54Oh, here he is, folks!
08:56Oh, there you are, Mr. McGee.
08:58I hope you don't mind having your fortune told.
09:01Why, shucks no, Uppy.
09:02As the chicken says when he busted out of the egg,
09:04I guess the future's worth taking a peek at.
09:06Ha ha ha ha ha!
09:08Which hand do you want to raise?
09:09Well, that depends, Mr. McGee.
09:10Are you right or left-handed?
09:12Well, I think he's left-handed.
09:14He reached for the lunch check with his right hand today
09:16and fumbled terribly.
09:18Well, then give me your left hand, Mr. McGee.
09:20Okay, here you are.
09:22Oh, meet Mrs. Uppington.
09:23Mrs. Uppington, my pa.
09:25Ha ha ha!
09:26How do you do?
09:27I'm very glad...
09:28Oh!
09:29Oh, my, that was a joke, wasn't it?
09:30Ha ha ha ha ha!
09:32Oh, now wait till I put on my glasses.
09:34I didn't have them on the last time I told a man's fortune
09:37and I was horribly embarrassed, you know.
09:39Why, Mrs. Uppington?
09:40Oh, my dear.
09:41He had 16 gloves on and I told him I could see him
09:44lying on a plate with two fried eggs and a piece of toast.
09:47Oh!
09:48What was I up to again?
09:50Ha ha ha ha ha!
09:51Oh, my dear.
09:53Well, get busy, Uppy.
09:54Tell me pretty gypsy.
09:55Oh, oh, very well.
09:57Now, first we come to the matter of intelligence.
09:59Oh, we do, eh?
10:00Get a load of this, folks.
10:01The intelligence is indicated by small mounds
10:04at the base of the fingers.
10:05What mounds?
10:06I ain't got any mounds.
10:07Ha ha ha ha!
10:08Oh.
10:09And now this line, this is the lifeline.
10:12Well, sort out.
10:13I'm going down for the third time.
10:15Ha ha ha ha!
10:16Well, your lifeline tells me that...
10:18Oh, oh, good riddance.
10:19What, Mrs. Uppington?
10:21Oh, Mrs. McGee, I regret to inform you
10:23that your husband has been dead for 12 years.
10:26Ha ha ha ha!
10:29Very good, Abigail, very good.
10:31Well, folks, we have time for a couple more games
10:33before supper is served.
10:34Have you any suggestions?
10:35Oh, yes, yes, tell us a couple.
10:38You know, I think it'd be fun
10:39if we turned out the lights and told ghosts.
10:41Oh, hey, that's a splendid idea.
10:44Everybody sit down, folks, I'll turn out the lights.
10:49Want me to tell the first ghost story, folks?
10:51Say, what do you know about telling ghost stories, dearie?
10:53Who, me?
10:54Why, chaps, I've been an expert on ghost stories
10:56ever since I was a kid.
10:58Used to give myself the creeps before I could walk.
11:00Ha ha ha ha!
11:08I made quite a study of ghost stories.
11:10Got to as every time I'd walk into somebody's yard,
11:13I'd shake their head and look great.
11:16Graveyard McGee, I was known as.
11:18Ha ha ha ha!
11:20Graveyard McGee, the gloomiest guy
11:21that ever gave goose flight to a gay gathering
11:23with McGorry and Goose and Goblin Gablin,
11:25getting guys goats with great gobs of gas
11:27for going gone, galvanizing groups
11:29to gate them green horns with gallows and graphic gibberish,
11:31and garnering the greatest badge of golden ghosts
11:33from the gutsy gales of the Greenland Sea
11:34to the giddy, ow, goose things and me.
11:36Ha ha ha ha!
11:44All right, McGee, if you know so much about ghost stories,
11:46you go ahead and tell one.
11:47Okay, well, I'll have a think about it.
11:49I know one, shall I tell it?
11:50Go ahead.
11:52Well, it happened one night when I was driving
11:54through the swamps of Louisiana,
11:56when suddenly my engine went dead.
11:58And there I was, stranded miles from nowhere,
12:00and a storm coming up.
12:01I had to find shelter somewhere,
12:03so I walked up the road to a deserted-looking
12:05ramshackle old house.
12:07But before I could knock,
12:09the door swung slowly open.
12:14Oh.
12:15Hey, what's that?
12:17Excuse me, folks, my foot was asleep.
12:18I was straightening out my legs.
12:20Ha ha ha ha!
12:25Hey, go ahead, Johnny.
12:28Well, as soon as my eyes got used to the darkness,
12:32I saw a ghost in my face.
12:35I heard a hollow voice say,
12:37Where's my head?
12:39Oh!
12:40Ha ha ha!
12:42Hey, Mr. Wilcox, weren't you horribly perturbed?
12:44Was I?
12:45My nerves were waving back and forth
12:47like windshield wipers.
12:49But I took myself in hand, and I said,
12:51I'm sorry, buddy, but I haven't got your head.
12:53Where'd you lose it?
12:54And the ghost said,
12:55Right in this house.
12:57I came home one day,
12:59and when I saw the kitchen floor
13:01looking so dull and dingy,
13:03streaked and worn,
13:04I flew into a rage, Archer.
13:08I lost my head and bawled my wife out
13:10something terrible.
13:12Gee, I wish I hadn't done it,
13:13because I know now what I should have done.
13:15But by that time,
13:17I had the door open again,
13:18and I ran like the dickens.
13:20Well, uh, what was the point of that story, Mr. Wilcox?
13:22Well, the point is that if you're haunted
13:24by the appearance of dull, faded,
13:26hard-to-clean linoleum floors,
13:27just try Johnson's Glow Coat,
13:29the no-rubbing, no-buffing floor polish
13:31that's so easy to use
13:32and keeps linoleum looking new indefinitely.
13:34And not only that...
13:35Okay, okay, okay, okay.
13:36You pull the plug, and I'll get out of the tub.
13:38Ha ha ha!
13:41Turn the lights on, somebody.
13:43Oh!
13:45Just a moment, folks.
13:47I think supper's ready,
13:48so if you want to step into the dining room...
13:49Oh!
13:50Oh!
13:51Oh!
13:54Well, come on, McGee.
13:55What are you waiting for?
13:56You go ahead, Molly.
13:57I'll be in later.
13:58I got something I want to do.
13:59A kind of Halloween gag.
14:00Don't say anything to anybody now.
14:01I'll be back in a little while.
14:04Boy, it's dark out here.
14:06Ha ha!
14:07I like to see Gildersleeve's face tomorrow
14:09when he looks in his garage.
14:10Ha ha ha!
14:12Hey, get away from me!
14:13Who's there?
14:14Who's there?
14:15Yeah, I bet you I scratched you, didn't I?
14:17Ha ha ha!
14:18Oh, hello there, little girl.
14:19It's so dark out here, I didn't see you.
14:21What you doing?
14:22Hmm?
14:23I says, what you doing?
14:24Playing Halloween.
14:25Oh.
14:26Gee, have I been having a fun, too.
14:28Jumping over garbage cans,
14:30and soaking lint,
14:31and scaring people,
14:32and everything.
14:33Ha ha ha!
14:34Oh, you have, eh?
14:35Ha ha ha!
14:36Yes.
14:37Well, this is the night for it, sis.
14:38Incidentally, you know the difference
14:39between a ghost and a sailor
14:40with a sprained ankle?
14:41No.
14:42Well, one's a hobgoblin,
14:43and the other's a gob-hoblin.
14:44Ha ha ha!
14:45Ha ha ha!
14:46Ha ha ha!
14:47Ha ha ha!
14:48Hmm?
14:49I says, one is a hob...
14:51Oh, never mind.
14:52You run along and have your fun, sis.
14:53I got some private business to attend to.
14:55What you gonna do?
14:56Hmm?
14:57What you gonna do?
14:58Whatever you mind.
14:59I bet you're gonna ring
15:00somebody's doorbell, I bet you.
15:02Oh, no, I ain't.
15:03Oh, yes, you are.
15:04Oh, no, I ain't.
15:05Oh, yes, you are.
15:06Oh, no!
15:07Listen, sis.
15:08You run along and have your fun,
15:09and I'll go and have mine.
15:10Oh, why don't you run
15:11and go with me, hmm?
15:12Please, I want you, hmm?
15:14That's right,
15:15because I can't let you...
15:16That talks a lot, sis.
15:18Now listen,
15:19you know whose garage this is?
15:20Yeah, it's Mr. Gildersleeve's,
15:21I bet you.
15:22Yes, right,
15:23and I'm Mr. McGee.
15:24I live right next door here.
15:25Yes.
15:26I'm gonna play a Halloween trick
15:27on Mr. Gildersleeve.
15:28Ha ha ha!
15:29Ha ha ha!
15:30Ha ha ha!
15:31Ha ha ha!
15:32We don't want him to hear.
15:35Now look, I'm gonna sneak
15:37into Gildersleeve's garage
15:38and let all the other
15:39air out of his tires.
15:40Um...
15:41Ha ha!
15:42Will that be a panic or won't it?
15:43Will it?
15:44Ha ha ha!
15:45Why, sure it will!
15:46Ha ha ha!
15:47Boy, when old Gildersleeve
15:48comes out in the morning and...
15:49Quiet, sis, now.
15:50Don't make so much noise.
15:51Ha ha ha!
15:52McGee, you're making
15:53all a noise over here, sis.
15:54Oh, well,
15:55come on now,
15:56if you want to be in on this,
15:57help me push this garage door open.
15:58Ha ha ha!
15:59Ha ha ha!
16:00Gee, I always have enough fun.
16:02Ha ha ha!
16:03I wish it wasn't so dark in here,
16:04but I don't dare strike a light.
16:05Now look, sis,
16:06you let the air out of the tires
16:07on that side,
16:09and I'll let them on this side.
16:10You know how to let the air out?
16:11Sure.
16:12I'll let the air out
16:13of five tires already
16:14tonight, I've heard, sis.
16:15Ha ha ha!
16:16Okay, go ahead.
16:17Ha ha ha!
16:18Gee,
16:19it's just a dandy idea,
16:20mister.
16:21Ha ha ha!
16:22I thought it was
16:23pretty good myself, sis,
16:24but don't you ever tell him.
16:25Ha ha ha!
16:26Hey, mister,
16:27the tires
16:28are flat on this side.
16:29Okay,
16:30same here now, sis.
16:31Now remember,
16:32this is a secret
16:33between you and me.
16:34Yes.
16:35I've got to get back
16:36to the party now.
16:37Okay.
16:38Hey, mister.
16:39Huh?
16:40Hmm?
16:41No, I don't know
16:42any more riddles.
16:43I do.

18:30♪
18:38Heavenly days.
18:40Whoever told them
18:41they knew how to entertain.
18:42Yeah.
18:43Old Gildersleeve
18:44and his expensive cigars.
18:46Look at them.
18:47Dry as a bone.
18:48All ten of them.
18:52Well, I'm going
18:53right up to bed, dearie.
18:54I'm tired.
18:55Yeah?
18:56Oh, I'm coming up, too.
18:58Oh, my goodness.
18:59I hope I don't have bad dreams
19:01from that terrible food.
19:03Phew.
19:04Did you taste those hors d'oeuvres,
19:05McGee?
19:09Oh, they look tempting to me.
19:12My God.
19:14Imagine that.
19:15Imagine old Lady Uppington
19:16trying to tell fortunes.
19:18I think I'll get her
19:19a crystal eight ball for Christmas.
19:23Now, don't drop your shoes
19:24there on the floor
19:25right where somebody
19:26will stumble over them.
19:27Well, they're on my side
19:28of the bed.
19:29I'll be the one
19:30to stumble over them.
19:33Hand me my cold cream, dearie.
19:34Okay.
19:35Thanks.
19:36Did you notice
19:37the cheap towels
19:38in the bathroom?
19:44They were like
19:45limp sandpaper.
19:48Yeah, sure.
19:49Hey, you scare me
19:50with all that cold cream
19:51on your face, Molly.
19:52Why didn't you wear
19:53that mask to the party?
19:57Hmm.
19:59Imagine them old fogies
20:00playing post office
20:01at their age.
20:04There ain't one of them
20:05with sufficient postage.
20:14Oh, what time
20:15I set the clock for?
20:16Oh, not too early, dearie.
20:17I want to sleep
20:18a while in the morning.
20:19Yeah, me too
20:20after a night like that.
20:22That ghost story
20:23of Mr. Wilson.
20:24Yeah.
20:25I bet the sponsor
20:26haunts him.
20:30The way those people age.
20:32You see the old-timer?
20:34He was chasing the hammer on
20:35like an actor's agent.
20:41Hey, this
20:42underwear don't fit
20:43as good as it did
20:44a few years ago, Molly.
20:45It doesn't?
20:46Getting a little snug
20:47around the ankles.
20:50Where's my pajamas?
20:51Oh, here they are.
20:52Hang up your pants.
20:53Oh, I'll hang them
20:54in the living room.
20:58Oh, baby, does this bed
20:59feel good to Papa?
21:01Oh, say.
21:03Remind me to tell you
21:04sometime about the trick
21:05I pulled on Gildersleeve
21:06tonight, Molly.
21:08Give us a piece.
21:11What a party that was.
21:13Oh, good night, Molly.
21:14Good night, dearie.
21:20Oh, I wonder
21:21who that is
21:22at this time of night.
21:2479 Wistful Vista,
21:25Molly McGee speaking.
21:28Who?
21:29Oh.
21:30Oh, yes.
21:31Oh!
21:32Well, that was
21:33real thoughtful of you.
21:35I'm sure he'll appreciate it.
21:36Thank you so much.
21:38Yes, we had
21:39a simply wonderful time.
21:40Yes.
21:41Good night.
21:43McGee, that was
21:44Mr. Gildersleeve.
21:45What'd that stuffed shirt want?
21:46Well, he really
21:47did you a favor.
21:48He said he forgot
21:49to tell you while
21:50you were over there.
21:51Forgot to tell me what?
21:52Well, his car was
21:53in town being repaired
21:54and he saw our
21:55standing in the alley
21:56and he was afraid
21:57the Halloween pranksters
21:58would hurt it,
21:59so he put it in
22:00his own garage.
22:03That was nice of him.
22:04Baby ain't such a bad...
22:05What?
22:06What?
22:07My own car?
22:08I let the air out
22:09of my own car?
22:10Oh!
22:14Oh!
22:23Oh!
22:34Vipper and Molly
22:35will be back in just a moment.
22:37Look down at your
22:38floors for a moment.
22:39Is there anything
22:40in your entire home
22:41that gets such hard wear?
22:42No wonder they need
22:43wax protection.
22:45No floor finish
22:46like a varnish,
22:47shellac, or paint
22:48can stand up forever
22:49against the constant
22:50attack of scuffing
22:51and scraping shoes
22:52and sharp heels.
22:53These finishes
22:54themselves need
22:55the protection
22:56of a tough material
22:57that can be quickly
22:58and easily renewed,
22:59and that material
23:00is Johnson's Wax.
23:02Certain floor areas
23:03such as halls
23:04and around doorways
23:05get more wear
23:06than others.
23:07With Johnson's Wax,
23:08these traffic areas
23:09can be touched up
23:10and re-waxed
23:11without waxing
23:12the entire floor.
23:13In addition to
23:14providing this
23:15money-saving protection,
23:16Johnson's Wax
23:17gives you rich,
23:18mellow, beautiful
23:19floors that add
23:20charm to your
23:21entire home.
23:22With every application,
23:23this beauty increases
23:24while your housework
23:25decreases,
23:26because waxed floors
23:27never need scrubbing,
23:28and they're the
23:29easiest of all floors
23:30to keep clean.
23:32Ask your dealer
23:33for genuine
23:34Johnson's Wax,
23:35paste or liquid,
23:36in the familiar
23:37red and yellow package.
23:51🎵
24:18Now folks,
24:19we didn't really feel
24:20that way about
24:21Gildersleeve's party.
24:22We just wanted to
24:23give you an idea
24:24of what we think
24:25happens after
24:26one of our parties.
24:27Incidentally, Molly,
24:28there's one game
24:29we didn't play
24:30over there tonight.
24:31What was that, Billy?
24:32Pin the tail
24:33on the elephant.
24:34You mean on the donkey.
24:35No, no,
24:36Gildersleeve's
