-2JOHN: Say,'I saw that streamer in your show window, Mr. Crosby, and I just had to come in1 BOB: Oh, you mean the one announcing our special this week, on "The One I Love Belongs to Somebody Else?".
JOHN: Isn't that the one Isham Jones used to play twelve or

fifteen years ago?

BOB: Not only played it, he wrote it -- along with many another solid hit.

JOHN:

Boy oh boyl Those were the days. I'll never forget

the June Ball my Senior year at prep school. Two of the fellows had the nerve to invite the Duncan Sisters. And they were good sports enough to come up. They stepped off the train dressed exactly alike, and both talked at once like a sister actp

BOB:

Why I:n those days I was clipping out pictures of Wallace Reid from the fan magazines ... and trying to leap from staircases like Doug Fairbanks;

aeffime^

JOHN:

Well, I always say there's nothing like an old song to take you back.

BOB:

We kinda figure that goes for every Music Shop customer in the land. So make with the memories as we put up for

demonstration a song that made the old days good. "The One I Love Belongs to Somebody Else". BAND: ......"THE ONE I LOVE BELONGS TO SOMEBODY ELSE" (APPLAUSE) http://legacy.library.ucsf.edu/tid/dtu03d00/pdf

-3BOB: You know, customers, one of the things we like best about
opening our Music Shop every Saturday, is the time when we Ca^vN say - Meet Mildred Bailey. Mildred, the time has come. MILDRED: BOB: And I say, Glad to meet youl Well I'm going to call on you, Mildred, to take care of that homesick letter that came in yesterday,

MILDRED:
BOB:

You mean rewr--ae Georgia youngster.

That's right, Wall Street. The one who came up north to be a runner in Remember how he says he's longing for that

t %,\,%t

hometown sunshine and the shade of a peach tree over the front porch? MILDRED: BOB: I know just how he feels, Bob. Ak, tie too, Mildred. The two months after I first left home, I thought I'd never get over-missing the old neighborhood gang. And Mildredp you're just the person

to sing the song that young fellow asked for - "Georgia on My Mind". You introduced it - and the customers never seem to get enough of hearing you sing it. And you've always had a sort of yearning in your voice that takes riq^.t every one of us^back home. So let's hear "Georgia on My Mind" in that Mildred Bailey way. (MILDRED & BAND: . . . . . 00 . . . . "GEORGIA ON MY MIND11 (APPLAUSE)

BOB: Mildred, I'm certainly going to put that down in my memory

book.

And I'm certainly going to call on you for more of

the same a little later on. Right now, let's step into our Music Shop's Department of Brass Tacks; Get down to them, Harry Holcombe.

HOLCOMBE:

When you get right down to it, you smokers yourselves are the final judges of cigarette quality. You're the ones
who say: "This is the cigarette that gives me what I want2" You probably know from your own observation that more smokers refer Camels than any other c3.garette. A lot of

these folks want the same thing you want. TheyIre getting it in Camels. Here's what they say: WOMAN: (YOUNG) Camels. HOLCOMBE: Nj cigarette has to be mild and cool. I smoke They're slow-burning.

Yes, there's scientific proof of that: Camels are slowerburning ..o for extra mildness and extra coolness,

MAN:

My cigarette has to have real flavor -- not flat and tasteless. I'd walk a mile for a smooth, mellow Camell

HOLCOMI3E:

Nothing dulls cigarette flavor and aroma like the excess heat of too-fast burning, In Camels, the natura7.flavor and fragrance are preserved by slow burning. (CHANGE OF PACE) Yes, Camels give you several def3nite "extras": Ln N 64

WOMAN:

Extra mj].dness and extra coolness.

MAN:
HOLCOMBE:

Extra flavor.
... and extra smoking in every pack. In recent impartial laboratory tests, Camels burned twenty-five per cent

Ln

`"

slower than the average of the fifteen other of the largestselling brands tested -- slower than an of them. That meang a smoking plus equal, on the average, to FIVE EXTRA SMOKES PER PACK. Camels are the cigarette of costlier tobaccos.

Penny, f or pQnny.. Camels are your best cigarette buyl. http://legacy.library.ucsf.edu/tid/dtu03d00/pdf

-5 BOB: Thank you, Harry. You know^ I saved up MZ pennies and took my Uncle Tony to the movies the other night, It was Alice Faye in "Hollywood Cavalcade". Any time Alice Faye plays ^ov ic

at our neighborhood e4

parlor, I buy myself a bag

of peppermints and leave home for the day. HARRY: With Uncle Tony along as a chaperone, Bob?

BOB:

9k; ho doesn't know about Alice and me. Matter of faet,

neither does Alice. Uncle Tony went along because

"Hollywood Cavalcade" showed some scenes with Mack Sennett bathing beauties. He said that picture certainly took him

back to his salad days. And all the way home he kept whistling a beautiful waltz that I couldn't quite place. It turned out to be a song from the Broadway hit of 1912. re ^ympathy" from "The Firefly", by Rudolf Frim1 and Otto Harbach, Next day the same song cropped up in the course

of a conversation I had with the fellows in the band -about Alice Faye. They all changed the subject and said maybe the customers would like to hear more424Sympathy". It's up for demonstration right now. Will you save me the last waltz, Alice? BANDS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . " (APPLAUSE) HY"

BOB:

After we closed up the Music Shop the other night, I stepped out with Gil Rodin, our first sax as you enter from the left ^ wAs ^1o^q-tti^T's - and Eddie Miller,^ our first sax as you enter from the right. We went into the corner drugstore for a cup of 3ava. They've got one of those nickel phonographs in there, and as he always does, Gil Rodin went over to see what songs were in the machine. It was a pretty good cross-section - eight out of

ten were sweet and sentimental ballads. And as Gil said, itts always the same- year after year in any season, the thing

that pleases most of the customers most of the time is a simple love song. Its a break for me, of course, because thatJs the kind of song I like to sing for you. A new one has just come in, called "Careless". I thihX you're going to hear a lot more of it, so make a note of that title. It's c^^^ed"Careless".

(BOB AND BAND: . . . . . . . . . "CARL+'I4SS11-) (APPLAUSE )

BOBs

Thank you kindly. What say we take a little two-step over

to Mildred Bailey's demonstration counter? Did I remember to tell you, Mildred, how glad I was to see your smiling face among those present last Monday? You know that opening of ours at the New Yorker Hotel was a jamboree of gigantic proportions for the band and myself. MILDRED: It was a great night, Robert. Ar\a. a^te.,.+^vCLs I hear you went on to a jam session. And there you uncovered BOB: n a new novelty rhythm song with the poetic title "Wham".
And you like0-it so much that you're going to make a record of it,, aane. Chances are I'd confuse the customers if I tried to

tell them what it's all about. You put it so sI.mply, Mildred - Xou tell them.
MILDRED: Just collar this spiel, cats- cause herets one chick that's in the ?mowo D^. BOB: WHAM11

COMMERCIAL #2:
HOLCOMBE: Extra mildness, extra coolness, and extra flavor are not the only reasons so many thousands of smokers are turning to slow-burning Camel cigarettes. There's an economy angle to smoking Camels that means a lot to a steady smoker. Recent impartial laboratory tests will te11 you the economy of smoking Camels. In these widely reported tests, Camels burned twenty-five per cent slower than the average of the fifteen other of the largest-selling brands tested-- slower than gU of them, That means Camels give a smoking lus

equal, on the average, to FIVE EXTRA SMOKES PER PACK.

Think what that extra smoking can mean to you: MANIS VOICE: If you live in a community where certain state cigarette taxes are in effect, you can save the cost of the tax through smoking Camels. If there are no added taxes where you live, the savings are all yours.
HO LCOMBE: Camels are the cigarette of costlier tobaccos. They are Americals favorite cigarette. your best cigarette buyl Okay, Bob Crosby. Penny for penny, Camels are

BOB:

Okay, Harry.

You know$ I wish a couple of thousand

of our customers could have been with me the other night over at Arranger Matty Matlock's house. We were playing Sdme of our favorite choruses in some of the famous old records in
Ma ttyls collec tion. And over a scrambled egg, along toward

dawn, we got to talking about how Dixieland classics get that way, The victrola was giving out with "Jim Town Blues",

so Matty gave me a little of its history as an example. A dozen or so years ago Frankie Trumbauer and a few of his ever-loving buddies were winding up a session in a recording studio. They were stuck for a running-mate to go on the

other side of one of the hits of the day. Tram thought of a theme held heard in a jam session, and told the others to play the blues behind it. A few hours later it was on wax and labelled "Jim Town Blues", Mattyls own arrangement was inspired by Frank Trumbauerts recording. So featuring

Eddie Miller and Irving Fazola, here is that same- "Jim Town Blues". 11JIM TOWN BMMg") (Ai'PLAU$E )

- 11 ANNOUNCER: Right now a lot of you men are breaking in new pipes. Here's a tip. Get that cooler-burning tobacco --- get Prince Albert. In recent laboratory "smoking bowl" tests, Prince Albert burned eighty-six degrees cooler than the average of the thirty other of the largest-selling brands tested.....coolest of alll Cool-burning P. A.., is "no-bite" treated and "crimp cut" to give you more comfort in a new pipe -- in any pipe. Get Prince Albert, It's the National Joy Smoke 1
