figured it was my turn well that puts a
new light on the subject
[Laughter]
to say that we went to the mind if I
talked to Georgia you want to make some
money I never bet on favorites I don't
this is a great hunter Casey married a
girl named Linda the name of the horse

well Happy Thanksgiving
now tonight we were having Turkey
tomorrow coal taking the next day cream
turkey and turkey hash and take your
giblets and Psyche croquette then turkey
burgers and then naturally after that
we'll have the leftovers but I will
enjoy tonight's dinner
I haven't had take you for about three
weeks now that's when we finished the
one from last year believe me I I didn't
complain when I was a kid we came from a
big family and we couldn't afford each
other and I went into show business and
things got different and I had a turkey
every year then I met Gracie in the act
got better I I went to the market with
her today do you know that if the
pilgrims had sold their turkeys for
today's prices they could have come over
on the Ile de France instead of the
Mayflower you know it's it's funny how
our customs get started three hundred
years ago a pilgrim went out and shot a
Trekkie and today on Thanksgiving
everybody s Turkey it's a good thing he
didn't shoot the hippopotamus we have
very small plates
I must tell you how Gracie fixed our
first Thanksgiving dinner we were
married in about three months and when
she brought into Turkey it looked like
somebody had played badminton with it I
said what happened
she said well after I stopped it when I
tried to sell it up but get slipping off
the sewing machine
[Music]
i'm joe crawford from the drugstore mr.
Burnes ordered these cigars I'm cooking
a big yes well I guess everybody is does
anything I love to smell it's a turkey
roasting any

Harry Morton will you tell him that
Linda Lee didn't come in Linda Lee

throw his money away on earth no you
know the more I see of men the more I
find out about them happy I am I married
to you
[Applause]
[Music]
you know that last line was a compliment
coming from the bracelet he gets things
mixed up anything that's backwards makes
sense to Gracie
it runs in her family she told me that
her grandmother used to lie down on the
sidewalk the minute she saw somebody
peeling the banana that way she wouldn't
step on the skins and fall you see Harry
I thought she was talking to Gracie yeah
that's the one hey by the way Linda Lee
in case you're gonna be at dinner at the
burnses too
I just that's crazy to invite her Brydon
both after all they just got back from
their honeymoon he's been a model all
her life she's never had a chance to
learn how to cook oh she's a beautiful
girl though hmm
why she wears those dresses she's only
24 24 she's 25 which is a day what does
she look so good now close the money she
spends on them how would you like it if
I put that much in a dress I'd love it
Oh hurry up dinners at five o'clock and
I want to go over to help dry it crazy
heed her cooking and you will
Thanks 42 years old and he can't fire
bowl and stop making cracks about
Gracie's cooking she's very good yeah
yeah last year when she put the turkey
on the table that was still alive and
ate more than I did I reached for a
drumstick and shook hands with me well
this time be sure and not stuff yourself
out of shape Blanche if you found out
that Harry was running around with
another woman would you be upset
Gracie tell me what is this oh well
Linda is a beautiful young she's married
to Gracie will you put this on for me so
I made a little bet that seemed like a
good horse well I thought so until she
ran last you nearly lost me how did I
slip up
[Music]
you know those mortals kill me we're
always having little squabbles and they
they couldn't live without each other
they fight and then they kissed and they
make up and then they fight again and
kiss and make up
always fighting they're always getting
too old to fight
[Music]
[Laughter]
[Music]
so Blanche Mort you think I'm a horse
not our baby I told you mrs. burns
always got everything pushed well maybe
but you'd better do the talking to her
shall I put my bride's coat now if you'd
like to play Cod there's Rhino fade and
play some gin oh you must be Harry will
you three entertain each other
don't hit sit down don't let me disturb
you water carrot Oh Gracie is a picnic
the other night I said to Gracie I'm
going to see Jane Wyman and the blue
veil and she said but why don't you ever
wear it when you come to see me
I haven't congratulated you - I
understand you've only been married two
weeks two weeks and nine hours yes well
I can see you two or certainly in love
say I've got a present for you - oh this
is the karcher oh if that doesn't make a
happy picture and always keep it that
way - well really this will help you
keep it that way this is something that
every newly married woman should have
this is the cooks handbook it's a brand
new kind of cookbook as a matter of fact
it's really more than just a recipe book
because in addition to hundreds of
wonderful recipes it gives you also
hundreds of suggestions on saving money
and making cooking easier it has 15 how
to do it sections in over two hundred
photographs and illustrations this is
the cooks handbook we've been mailing
the folks who sent in 35 cents with
their name and address oh yes they
believe me this cooks handbook is a must
in every kitchen that's very interesting
mr. fonsella if we ever have a kitchen
we'll certainly remember it won't we
some service oh hey have you seen this
is Gracie's piggy bank the grocer told
Gracie that every time she uses a can of
carnations she ought to save seven cents
it I just want you to speak I wish you
could see how happy you look sitting
there holding hands together and don't
ever let anything change that anyway I'd
like you to lift it to feel the weight
of that go ahead isn't that something
there's a lot of money in there and you
do save it here let this is important
excuse me
was right using carnation Gracie does
save money when she uses it in place of
regular milk and she saves a lot more
when she uses it in place of cream oh
yes we'll certainly remember that if we
honey is the first time we've ever been
separated I missed you too oh no no
don't disturb yourselves you can stay
together there I just I left out the
most important part I mean y-you saved
money by using carnation actually it's
very simple because you see carnation is
really double duty milk you can use it
in place of cream or regular milk look I
can show you here that just as it pours
from the can undiluted carnation has the
consistency of good rich cream and like
cream carnation is rich and heavy enough
to whip and and yet carnation actually
cost less than half as much as free on
the other hand if you want the regular
milk you just pour a can of carnation
into a bottle like this then you fill
the bottle up with water there we are
you see what happens
look at this here you have a quart of
good whole milk that actually costs
about 1/3 less and for most cream
purposes I mean you know for cooking for
creaming your coffee
it certainly pays to use carnation
evaporated milk
well you can't forget it right on the
right on the canvases carnation
evaporated milk from contented cows
isn't this awful without thinking I've
been keeping you two separated all this
time here yep
no I tell you want you to come in the
den with me and watch the football game
on the television yeah hey see it's dark
in there
oh thanks Jerry
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
while all I guess they hear the rim the
den watching the football game while the
turkey is cooking and I must tell you
how Gracie cooks a turkey
you see she and her mother her mother is
in San Francisco they buy the same size
tricky then they put it in the oven at
the same time and when the turkey is
done our mother calls her long distance
the reason for that is Gracie has got
some jello in the refrigerator and while
her mother is watching the turkey
this gives Gracie a chance to keep our
eye on the jello you know in well mr.
miles the butcher said to buy the turkey
dress to 58 cents a pound and not this
it's the to cost me more buy a dress but
I wouldn't go out the other way
no sense in in catching cold to save a
few pennies burns I what if I could
trouble you for a drink
how's the game coming Oh siding and
erful good good
Gracie maybe Casey would like something
a little stronger well
[Music]
if you're driving you better have one Oh
Gracie there are too many people in Los
Angeles I don't know Oh God Julius
Caesar I give up
tres the calendar dresser calendar I
never heard of press a calendar in my
life
Oh George remember that wealthy Pasadena
woman who murdered her husband and hid
his body under the railroad bridge yeah
well dress the calendars brother works
for that railroad
on the mantle you know well around my
age you know they kind of get cable look
sensational
[Music]

development of better dairy herds and as
