Home again, home again, try it someday. You'll like it, you'll love it like millions who say they're favorite margarine. P-A-R-K-A-Y Parquet Margarine, made by Kraft. Well, for the past two weeks now, the Gilder Sleeve household has had a new look and also a few new sounds. Yes, the little mystery baby that someone left in the great Gilder Sleeve's car is practically a member of the family now. And the great man is behaving very much like a proud father. Hello there, little girl. You're cute. They haven't found your mother yet, baby, but don't you worry. We'll take good care of you until they do. And I've got a surprise for you. We're going to take your picture today. I'm going down to Peavey's and get some film right now. Would you like to have your little picture taken? Ooh, she called me daddy. I'm asking Gilder Sleeve. And what is your pleasure? I want to roll a film for my brownie. All right. You're going to take the baby's picture. Oh, that's nice. Yeah. I want to get a picture before she gets too big. I've never seen a baby grow so fast. Why, she gained half an ounce yesterday. You don't say. Here's your film. Just charge it, please. I want to hurry up and get these pictures taken. Mr. Gilder Sleeve, would you like me to load the camera for you? Load it? Oh, I guess I can do it. There's no extra charge, part of our friendly service. Oh, all right. You can probably do it faster than I can. It's a very simple operation. You merely open the back lid. Then pull out the inside. Seems to be stuck. Oh, I forgot to pull out this little do-jigger on the side. Pee-bee, will you hurry it up a little, please? It's a very simple operation. You pull it out like this. And now we're ready to put it in the film. Good. First, we take the film out of the package. That's a good idea. Now according to instructions, we insert this little tab in Spooley. Now, which one is Spooley? Pee-bee, hurry up. We'll even know the sun goes down at five o'clock. Let's see here now. This one could be Spooley. Oh, goodness. Good morning, Mr. Pee-bee. Oh, good morning, Mr. Pinkney. What can I do for you? I just want a tube of toothpaste. Very well. Pee-bee, I was here first, and I'm in a hurry. So just take a moment, Mr. Gilder Sleeve. Now, what size tube did you want, Mr. Pinkney? What sizes do you have? Well, there's the small, medium, and large economy size. Small, medium, and large economy size? That's right. Small, medium, and large economy size. Small, medium. Why doesn't he hurry up? Mr. Pee-bee, what's the difference between them? Well, one's small, one's medium, and one is very large. Excuse me, Madam. Pee-bee, if you'll just give me back my film, I'll load the camera myself. Just a moment, Mr. Gilder Sleeve. Now, what size did you want, Mr. Pinkney? Well, I don't know. What size toothpaste do you use, Mr. Pee-bee? I use toothpaste powder myself. Oh, God. Oh. Well, what sizes did the toothpaste powder come in? Well, it comes in three sizes, too. Small, medium, and large. Would you like some toothpaste powder? Well, I just can't make up my mind. I think I'll just let it go now and stop in on my way home. Good day, Mr. Pinkney. Good day, Mrs. Pinkney. Thank you, and call again. Pee-bee, give me that film. I'll load the camera myself. All right, Mr. Gilder Sleeve, if you want her. I never saw anyone as slow as you. Pee-bee, do you know what you are? You're an old turtle. No, I wouldn't say that. Oh, God! Honey, what's the matter with him? Try to hold the baby still now, and look at the camera. You, too, baby. Hurry up, take it, Archie. Now, just a moment now. Let me look in here. Oh, Marjorie, move down one step. I've got your head cut off. All right. That's it. Now, hold it. Not now, Leroy. I want to get a few more of the baby first. Okay. Hold still, Marjorie. Hold still, baby. Look at the birdie. Now, let's get one of the baby on the lawn. Put her on the blanket, Marjorie. All right. Oh, aren't you going to take one me now? Not now, Leroy. And move back. You're throwing a shadow on the baby. Okay, for corn's sake. All right, baby. A big smile now. Look at birdie. Look at the birdie. All right, baby. Hold it now. Let's try one of the babies sitting up. Aunk! Huh? You said you were going to take my picture. Oh, well, all right. That's all right, I guess. I'll just kind of lean against the railing like this. Do I look okay? Mm-hmm. Is my thigh straight? Yes. Okay. Oh, I can't, Leroy. Huh? Why not? I see I have just one film left. I want to get a picture of the baby lying on her stomach. A baby. The baby. Everything's a baby. Oh, you're just jealous. I am not. You are too. No, Leroy. We've got a whole album of you. But if you insist, I'll take your picture. You don't have to. I don't want my old picture taken anyhow. That's sissy stuff. You don't have to take my picture. Okay, I won't. Huh? Suppose you think Aunk likes you better than he does me. Move these. And we'd go fishing together. But he wouldn't take you fishing. He wouldn't catch anything anyhow. Do anything for me. Oh, Leroy. What is it? Well, Birdie and I were talking over and we decided the baby ought to sleep in your room. What? Well, it's the sunniest room in the house and the baby needs a lot of sun, you know. I'm not going to sleep in the same room with a baby. That's right, we're moving you into the sewing room. Sewing room? We'll fix it all up for you. You can move your penance and your little radio and your turtle. I'm not going to sleep in the sewing room. Now, Leroy. Why can't the baby sleep in there? I told you, she needs the sunshine. What about me? You've got enough preckles now. You'll be all right in the sewing room. I'm not you care. All you care about is a baby. Now, that's ridiculous. I don't have to sleep here at all if you don't want me to. What? What are you talking about? I'll move out in the backyard in my clubhouse. Now, Leroy. Yes, I will. Well, I don't think you'll be very comfortable out there in that old packing box. I don't care. I'm going to live out there forever. Well, in that case, we'll forward your mail. Drop in and see you sometime. Let the baby have my room. Before you move out there forever, better take off your good suit. Hey, kids. Come down, Miss Gil, please. Mmm, smells awfully good. Mr. Gil Sleeves, don't you think you ought to get Leroy in now? What? Is he still out in that clubhouse? Yes, sir. He's been out there all afternoon. Said he wasn't ever coming back. Well, I remember I ran away from home once when I was a kid. I wasn't ever coming back, either. But I was back at the table by supper time. Yes, but you got a big appetite than Leroy. Yeah. Good. All right, Bertie. I'll go out and get him. That's good. Grab your coat and get your... There's his little clubhouse. What's that sign on it? Beware, headquarters of the Black Hands. Black Hands. That's Leroy, all right. I wonder what he's doing in there. Leroy? Are you in there, my boy? Leroy. It's pouting. I suppose I'll have to go in there. How do you get in there? Like they've got it dug out. That's the only way to get in is that little tunnel. Could have made this hole a little bigger. No, if I can just get my stomach in. Glad I'm doing this before supper. Dark in here. What's that? Is that you, Leroy? Oh, a cat. Kitty, one of us will have to get out of here. Go away now, scat. Good. I made it. Oh, hello, Leroy. Leroy, aren't you going to say hello to your old uncle? Hello. Nice little place you got here. Oh, my head. Could be a little roomier. Leroy, it's supper time. I know. Birdie's got roast beef and she made an apple pie just for you. I'm not hungry. We're all waiting for you in there. Marjorie, Birdie, me and the baby, I mean me. Come in. Now, Leroy, we mustn't be stubborn. I won't come in. That's a fine way to act. After your old uncle went to all his trouble and crawled in here to get you. I won't come in. You gods, can't you say anything else? I won't come in. All right then, don't come in. I can be just as stubborn as you can, young man. You can just stay out here and you get good and tired of it. I'm going in. We'll get through here in the first place. Oh, my goodness, I'm stuck. Back again. Kitty, go away. Kitty, stop licking my face. I'll just leave again in just a minute. Now, I'd like some help from Birdie. Birdie? Yes, Mr. Wall? Let's see if I can say everything about parquet in 30 words or so. Mm-hmm. Parquet is a grand food to eat. It costs about half as much as the most costly spreads. Yet, it gives you all of their nutrition. That's the way you say it. That ain't the way I say it. Anyway, Birdie, that's the way... I say it just plain tastes good. Tastes like it should cost twice as much. Well, you'd be right about that. Parquet is prepared like a rare luxury food. Only selected products of American farms are used in making it. That's why parquet has such a sweet, light flavor. Whether you spread it on waffles or biscuits, pancakes or bread. That's the way you say it. Ain't the way I say it. But, Birdie... Tastes so good. That's what I'd say. Tastes like it should cost twice as much. Well, friends, there's one thing Birdie and I completely agree on. We'd like you to try parquet. P-A-R-K-A-Y Parquet margarine made by Crack. Ha ha ha ha! Because it tastes like it should cost twice as much. Fields in the McCoys have nothing on Leroy and the Great Gilder Sleeve. The family feud is still on. It's evening now and the Gilder Sleeve family, all except Leroy, that is, is just finishing a quiet dinner. Uncle Mort, will you pass the cream, please? Uncle Mort! Huh? Oh, oh, the cream? And here you are. Thank you. Uncle... Yes? Don't you think you and Leroy are acting pretty silly? Well, he's acting pretty silly. I'm not. Uncle Mort? Well, he is. He must be awfully hungry by now. Why don't you go out and talk to him? I did once, my dear. He's just being stubborn. That's all. Oh, but I know he'd come in now if you'd ask him. No, absolutely not. If he wants to sit out there and soak us... I'll get it, Birdie. That's the judge. He insisted on coming over to play checkers tonight, the old goat. Well, come on... Oh, Craig, what do you want? Where's Leroy? Leroy? Why, yeah, Minton, what do you want him for? My mother said I could play for an hour. Where's Leroy? Well, you can't see him right now, Craig, so run along. I will not. Come on now, get your foot out of the door. I will not. Go on home now, Craig. It's Betty by time. It is not. Why? Because he can't. That's why. You're mean to Leroy. What? Why? Now look here. You're a mean man and you're fat, too. Oh, do not. I mean, get out of here. Get out of here and don't come back. Walk like a duck. That's ridiculous, I think. He's back again, is he? Walk like a duck, do I? What? Oh, hello, judge. Why, you don't walk like a duck, Gildy. You walk more like a baby elephant. Thank you, I will. See, you're just finishing dinner, Gildy. Got your napkin tucked in your bag. Yes. Well, go right ahead and finish, and then we'll have an exciting checker tournament. Good evening, Marjorie. Good evening, judge. How is our sweet little baby girl tonight? Oh, she's fine. She's up in Leroy's room, judge. You moved Leroy out of his room? Well, it was sunnier for the baby. Oh, I see. Where is Leroy? Out in the packing box. Shhh. The packing box. What's he doing out there? Well, he had a quarrel. No, Marjorie, it isn't necessary to go into that. He won't come in to suffer. I want it. I'll go out and get it. I'll handle this, my dear. Gildy, you ought to be ashamed of yourself for eating that boy out there without his supper. I'll thank you to keep out of this, Hooker. You're supposed to have more sense than Leroy, although sometimes I doubt it. So if I were you... If I were you, I'd mind my own business. Well, yeah. That's the way you feel. I won't stay here and play checkers with you. Good. I'm going home right now. Don't stop to eat any tin cans, you old goat. And don't you eat any peanuts, you baby elephant. Old Hooker. Good night. Old Barinsky. Go finish my coffee. Probably cold by now. That Leroy'd come in now. If you could... Marjorie, that's the last I want to hear about this. The matter is closed. Terminated. Or as they say in French, finise. In other words, I forbid any further conversation on the subject. Okay. All right, dear. Man, can't even have... Excuse me. Yes, Bertie? Don't you think you ought to go out and call Leroy now? What? Poor little fellow sitting out in that packing box. Must be awful hungry by now. I think the subject is closed. And I want you to never mention Leroy's name again tonight. Is that clear? Yes, sir. Did you have plenty to eat, Mr. Guilty? Yes, I did, Bertie. Thank you. Plenty of roast beef, mashed potatoes, cornbread, and apple pie? Yes, Bertie. Thank you. I'm full of food. Well, I know somebody who ain't. Huh? But I won't mention his name. No, Bertie? Yes, sir. If somebody ain't had roast beef, mashed potatoes, cornbread, and apple pie, and he ain't had nothing to eat, but I won't mention his name. Bertie, I told you... I won't mention his name, but I'll give you a hint. He's a little fellow about 12 years old, sitting all alone in a packing box. But I won't mention his name. No, I said that... Now, I know you can guess who it is, but I'll tell you one thing. It ain't the walking man. Bertie? It ain't his name. Bertie? No, sir. It's somebody we all know. And he ought to be in here right now eating roast beef, mashed potatoes, cornbread, and apple pie, but I won't mention his name. Wonder if he's all right. A little chilly out. Maybe I ought to... No. I asked him to come in once. We want to be stubborn and stay out there all night. Let him. Won't hurt him. And I was a kid. I slept outdoors on colder nights than this. I kept warm. Of course, I was a little fatter. Well, I'll go to bed, I guess. He's waiting up any longer. No, I'll just... Wonder who that is. Hello, Chuck Morgan. Eve, well, come in. Thank you. Well, Eve, I haven't seen you for a long time. You're looking wonderful. Thank you. How was your vacation? Oh, like all vacations. A little too short. Throckmorton, I hope you don't mind my dropping in so late. Mind? Not at all. Won't you sit down? Thank you. I suppose you're the busy little principal again with school study. Yes, I am. In fact, I'm just on my way home from a teacher's meeting now. Throckmorton, I understand you have a little addition to your family. Yeah, wonderful little baby girl. She's asleep right now. And there's no news of the mother yet? No, we haven't heard a word. Isn't that a shame? Well, it's very nice of you to look after this baby. Oh, I don't mind. In fact, it's a pleasure. Funny how quick you can get wrapped up in a baby like that. I spend all my spare time with her. Yeah. Throckmorton. Yes? There's something I wanted to talk to you about. What's that? Well, it's Leroy. Leroy? Yes. One of his teachers told me tonight he's been acting sort of moody and touchy. Have you noticed it? Yes. Well, it's perfectly natural for him to act this way. Young people usually do when there's a new child brought into the home, like this baby you found. New child? Yeah. Children are apt to be a little jealous. Sometimes they think they're losing their parents' love. They do? Mm-hmm. That's why you have to be especially tactful at a time like this. Be careful not to neglect them or show any preference for the new child. Of course, I know you wouldn't do that. Oh, no. You wouldn't make Leroy feel he wasn't wanted. You're too intelligent. I am? I mean, oh, sure. Certainly. You know, some parents misinterpret the child's attitude. They think he's just sulking or being stubborn. Sometimes the child's whole life is affected. A boy who feels he's unwanted may easily become a juvenile delinquent. Huh? Yes. In some cases they even turn out to be criminals. Gangsters. Gangsters? But we don't have to worry about Leroy. Of course not. It's late. I better be going. It was nice seeing you again. Oh, thanks, Eve. Nice to see you. Dr. Martin. Yes? I'm sure Leroy will be all right. I know you'll remember the children as human beings, too. Good night, Dr. Martin. Good night, Eve. Poor little Leroy, didn't I understand? Soon this whole life could have made him a gangster. Leroy. He's gone. Probably out robbing a bank. It's all my fault. Try it. Leroy, you all right? Sure. How was the sleep? Leroy, you're not going to be a criminal, are you? Huh? Nothing. Are you hungry, my boy? No. Bertie brought me some dinner. I had roast beef, mashed potatoes, cornbread and apple pie. That's good. Hope you weren't too cold out here. No, okay. Bertie brought me some blankets, too. Bertie's certainly been busy. Leroy. Yeah? I'm sorry, I lost my temper. You know, sometimes your old uncle is a little thoughtless, but he doesn't mean to be. That's all right, Uncle. I'll be okay in the sewing room. Thanks, Leroy. Well, how about coming in the house now? You go to bed. Aw, can't I stay out here tonight, Uncle? What? Sure, this is lots of fun. Now tell the kids tomorrow I slept in my clubhouse all night. Well, all right, if you won't do my boy. Leroy, I just thought of something. How about you and me going fishing Saturday all by ourselves? Gee, that'll be swell. Just the two of us? Sure. We men, folks, have got to get off by ourselves once in a while, don't we? Yeah. We have lots of good times together, Leroy. Well, go to sleep now, Leroy. Good night, Aunt. Good night, my boy. Good night, kitty. I'm the great Gilder Sleeve again very shortly. Just one taste will tell you. Just one taste of a hot biscuit topped with parquet. And you'll know that this margarine is prepared like a rare luxury food. For parquet, tastes like a luxury. Tastes like it should cost twice as much. Parquet is nutritious and economical. Though parquet costs only about half as much as the most costly spreads, it gives you every bit as much nourishment, and it's fortified with 15,000 units of essential vitamin A. Tomorrow, get parquet. P-A-R-K-A-Y. Parquet margarine made by Cran. You'll love its delicate flavor on everything from waffles to toast. Because parquet tastes like it should cost twice as much. Leroy. Leroy. Are you asleep? Huh? Oh, oh, oh, Aunt. What are you doing out here? Is it morning already? No, it's only 2 a.m. What's the matter? Well, I haven't been able to sleep, Leroy. Why not? Baby's been crying quite a bit. He keeps waking me up. Ah, Leroy. Yeah? There's room for both of us in this packing box. Move over. He-he-he. The show to sleep is played by Harold Perry. It was written by Gene Stone and Jack Robinson with music by Jack Meakin. Included in the cast are Walter Tetley, Mary Lee Robb, Lillian Randolph, B. Benedaret, Earl Ross, and Richard Legrand. This is John Wall saying goodnight for the Kraft Foods Company, makers of the famous line of Kraft quality food product. Me too, goodnight. And be sure to listen in next Wednesday and every Wednesday for the further adventures of the Great Gilders League. Here's a suggestion to every homemaker. It's how to cut the cost of main dishes. Be a smart menu maker, cook with cheese often. Cheese prices have come down. And cheese is a protein food, a main dish food. Actually, ounce for ounce, there is no other basic food that matches cheese for high quality, complete protein, for calcium, phosphorus, and other nutrients from milk. And Kraft's varieties of pasteurized processed cheese cook perfectly. There's medium mellow Kraft American and sharp old English, or for rich yet mild cheddar flavor, yet Kraft's delicious cheese food, Belvita. To help balance your food budget, serve frifty golden cheese main dishes often.
