 Kraft presents the Great Gilder Sleeve. The Kraft Cheese Company makers of Parquet Marjorie and a complete line of famous quality food products presents Harold Perry as the Great Gilder Sleeve. Kraft brings you the Great Gilder Sleeve every week at this time, written by John Whedon and Sam Moore, music by Claude Sweetie. Here from the Great Gilder Sleeve in just a moment. Pancakes hot off the griddle. A pad of delicious Parquet Marjorie melting into each golden brown cake for extra flavor goodness. And then some syrup jam or honey to top them off. That's our idea of a good way to satisfy hungry appetites these crisp autumn days. And just as Parquet Marjorie's fresh, delicate flavor adds such appetizing goodness to pancakes, so too Parquet adds flavor that satisfies to many other foods. Millions of families enjoy Parquet daily as a spread for bread, toast, rolls and waffles. And Parquet Marjorie is doubly welcome in these homes because it's such a fine aid to good nutrition, so high in food energy value, so dependable for vitamin A. Kraft adds 9,000 units of vitamin A to every pound of Parquet. So for good nutrition, for flavor that satisfies, buy and serve Parquet, P-A-R-K-A-Y. Parquet Marjorie made by Kraft. Yes, Kraft makes Parquet. Gilder Sleeves. While the sounds coming from the Gilder Sleeve kitchen are any indication, things should be going very well indeed. It's Friday, the morning after Bertie's night out, and she's whipping up a fine breakfast of scrambled eggs and sausages with a little rag time thrown in. He has no manners when he eats his food. He's fat and lazy and he's feeling rude, but if you don't give a feather or a thing, you may grow up to be a pig. I'm coming. You may grow up to be a pig. Bertie, what's holding you up out there? What's the matter? What's the matter with you, Bertie? What makes you so frisky? I don't know, Mr. Gilder Sleeve. I guess I'm just full of beans this morning. Giggles. I have not. I bet she's in love. Oh, you go on, Miss Marjorie. I ain't been in love since the last time. When was that? Beyond the memory of man. Very sharp to prune, Leroy. I got eggs waiting. What'd you do on your day off, Bertie? Paint the town? No, sir. I just fooled around, and then last night I went to the movies, me and Lily B. Oh. She always goes to the movies. What'd you see, Bertie? A picture call going my way. Being crossy. Were you there? I didn't see you. Wasn't it wonderful? Oh, it sure was. Hey, Marge went to the movies. Oh, Mr. Gilsie, you've got to see that picture. They got a little man there. I don't know who he is, but they got a little man in. Very Fitzgerald. He's darling. Of course, I've always thought Bing was darling. Of course, he's an older type than Van Johnson. Oh, well, if I may say so, my dear. Some of us older types have more to offer than the younger ones. Older than you. Yeah, she's an older type. Perhaps when you get to high school, you'll be allowed to stay up at night, too. Oh, go soak your head. Finish your prunes, Leroy. Finish? Leroy? Yeah? Here at Killer Sleeve Manor, Leroy, we do not gulp our prunes. You told me to finish them. Neither do we spit our pits onto our plate. You want me to swallow them? No. We simply remove them delicately one by one, young man, with the aid of a spoon, and lay them beside our saucer. I see I'm going to have to take you in hand. I wish somebody would. As for you, young lady, I'd like to speak to you about last evening. Go ahead, uncle. In my own good time. You didn't tell me, my dear, when you went out last night. You were planning to go to the movies. We weren't. It just came over us later. Who'd you go with? Everett, I suppose. None of your business. I told you we're never going to speak to him again. Oh, that was yesterday. We, uh, made it up at the movies. Just as I suspected. You'll go to no more movies with Everett. I don't know why you're so mean about Everett. I don't like his father. Everett is a very nice boy. And it may interest you to know that he's going to be a missionary. A missionary? When was that decided? Put our way home from the picture last night. He's either going to be a missionary or a fighter pilot. What would you like in your lunch? Would you like a peanut butter sandwich or a cheese or a Swiss cheese? What you want? Huh? Or would you rather be a muse? There she goes again. You'd rather better see that picture, Mr. Guilty. You'll love it. Oh, as a matter of fact, Bertie, I did see it. What? When? Last night, my dear. Lee Roy was asleep upstairs, and I was all alone here, so I sneaked out by myself. I ask you such a thing. Now, Lee Roy, your turn will come. Yeah. Miss Margie, I don't like to rush it, but I see Francis, you ain't coming up for free. Oh, my goodness, Francis. I must be late. Oh, I am late. Hey, goodbye, Uncle Mort. Goodbye, my dear. Goodbye, Lee Roy. Goodbye, Bertie. Lee Roy, say goodbye to your sister. Goodbye, Roy. Not with your mouth full. Goodbye. Don't forget your lunch. Are you going to be warm enough in that thing? Well, that's one of them off. Lee Roy, you'd better be getting ready. You mentioned it, Uncle. Mentioned what? I'm glad you reminded me. I might have forgotten. I've got a thing here. What kind of a thing? A note. If I can get it out of my pocket. A note from whom? Stuck. I'd like to know who put chewing gum in my pocket. Come on, let's have it. What have you been doing, sleeping on it? How long have you had this? A couple of days, I guess. A couple of days. I forgot. Uh, Pierce had been open, too. It came open. Oh, it did. You're putting that stuff in those envelopes anymore. War. Yes. Summerfield Grammar School, office of the principal. Lee Roy, this is from Miss Goodwin. That's neither here nor there. Let's see. Dear Mr. Gillis-Leave, it's been brought to my attention that Lee Roy and a number of his friends have been hanging around the school after hours and getting into trouble. I feel it a word from you. Lee Roy. Trouble, it's Tony. Who's Tony? A boy twice. Now, wait a minute. Yes, sir? You're a big enough boy to know how to keep out of trouble and behave yourself? Yes, sir. I don't know what we're going to do about you, Lee Roy. I really don't. It's a problem, all right. I suppose I really ought to spend more time with you. Yeah, come with me. I wouldn't get into so much trouble. Well, I've always been meaning to. I would if I weren't so busy. You're not busy now, huh? What do you mean? Well, you haven't got a job. You don't do anything but sit around. I have a great many things I'm considering, Lee Roy, and it takes all my time. Now, you get along to school. Yes, sir. Yes, you'd like to, Lee Roy. Thanks, Bernie. Goodbye, Aunt. Yes, yes. Unfounded, Bernie. I'm going to have to do something about Lee Roy. Oh, he ain't a bad boy, Mr. Gilsley. Yeah, I know, Bernie. What is it that makes boys get into mischief? Well, maybe it's like it wasn't that Ben Crosby picture, Mr. Gilsley. Maybe they need an older man to sort of give him a hand. Yeah, I suppose you're right. You know where that Mr. Crosby there, he got all them boys together and taught them how to sing like a choir that could steal in turkey. Yes, sir. Bernie, I think you're on the right track. A choir, eh? Bye, George. I'll get them all together tomorrow morning. Okay, Piggy, this time you're the center and I'll carry the ball. Lee Roy, you try to break up the play. Gosh, Tony, when do I get to carry the ball? When I say so. Now, all set? Lee Roy! Well, thank you. Come here a minute, please, Lee Roy. Oh, what for, huh? For corn sake. Time out for a minute, fellas. Don't be talking to him all day, Lee Roy. Okay. I'll not make it snappy. I have something to say and I'll take as much time as I require. Who's that boy that said, don't be talking all day? Him? That's Tony. He's the best forward passer in the 7B. Oh, so that's Tony. And I want to talk to him, too. I want to talk to all of you. What are you going to do? Give us a lecture? No, my boy. I'm not going to give you a lecture. I'm going to try to guide your activities. Give you something wholesome to do. It'll be fun, Lee Roy. We're having fun. This will be more fun. You'll enjoy it, all of you. I'm going to teach you to sing. It's a fine day for it. Now, call the other boys over here. Lee Roy, will you please do as I ask? Okay. Shall I tell them what you want them for? No, just get them over here. I'll tell them. Okay. First. More lung power, Lee Roy. I said so. Come here, Tony. Come over here, Piggy. I want to tell you something. Offer, please. Okay, Mr. Guards, Lee. I don't think Tony is going to like this, Uncle. We'll see, Lee Roy. At least I want your cooperation. You understand? Well, boys, good morning. Oh, hi, Mr. Gillersleeve. Piggy. And you're Tony, I presume. I'm Lee Roy's uncle. Yeah, I know. Well, boys, now that I've got you all together, football is all very well. But if you're going to keep out of mischief, you need other interests, more wholesome interests. And one of the finest pastimes there is for boys is singing. It develops the lungs. Well, let's get it over with, fellas. What do you want us to do, Uncle? We'll sing a jolly song. We'll sing it in harmony. Doesn't that sound like fun? Well, it is fun. Yes. Now, first, I'll give you your notes. Lee Roy, you sing doh. Doh. Come on, Lee Roy. Sing the note again, Lee Roy. Doh. Now, Piggy, you sing soh, huh? Mm-hmm. Doh. Soh. Now, let me hear you try. Soh. Your eyes note, Piggy. Doh. Soh. Now, sing soh. Sing? Once more now, huh? Soh. I don't care how it sounds. We're going to sing anyway. Piggy, you sing doh on any note you please. Lee Roy will take the soh. And Tony can take... Tony, where are you going? I'm going home. You can't go home. We're just starting to sing, fellas. I didn't come over to sing. So long, Lee Roy. So long, Piggy. Come here, young man. Oh, wait a sec. Tony, I'm coming with you. Piggy. Wait a sec, Tony. I'm coming true. No, you're not, Lee Roy. I'm not here and singing. What on? You're going to sing whether you like it or not. But by George, if I ever run into that Bing Crosby, what a faker. Fuller Sleeve will be with us again in just a few seconds. Shop early is good advice these days. Not only does it save your own time and your food dealer's valuable time, but by shopping early, you're more likely to get those choice foods that are always in big demand. Now, that's especially true of parquet margarine for delicious nourishing parquet is a first choice spread for bread with millions of American families. Of course, one reason so many people want parquet is because its fresh, delicate flavor makes bread rolls, pancakes, and waffles taste so good. But equally important is the wonderful nourishment that parquet provides so economically. You see, parquet is one of our very best energy foods and it's also a good source of vitamin A. Kraft adds 9,000 units of this important vitamin to every pound of parquet. So, tomorrow, I'll be sure you shop early for delicious nourishing parquet. P-A-R-K-A-Y. Parquet margarine. Remember, Kraft makes parquet. Now, let's get back to the Great Gilder Sleeve and his campaign to reform the bad boys of Summerfield. Undiscaraged by his musical experiment, he's enlisted the aid of Judge Hooker and together they're on their way to the drug store to talk to Mr. Peavey. But let's see what's going on there before they arrive. Oh, masterful comics is no good. I like commando comics. You're nuts, Leroy. Commando comics is corny. Captain Magic is the best. Ah, Captain Magic is nothing but pictures of dames. The best. Ah, Captain Magic, huh, Tony? They both stink. Come on, guys, let's get out of here. Yeah, now, that's the best suggestion I've heard so far. Wait a minute, guys. I got some money. Let's see the candy, Mr. Peavey. Uh, it's for yourself or for a friend. Are you kidding? Yes, I was. You can see all I've got right there on the counter, Leroy. How much are these? They're all the same price, five cents. All nationally advertised brands. That is all about the peppermint. I put that up myself. How much do you got, Leroy? A dime. I can buy two kinds. Oh, you can't get anything decent for a nickel. Let's match and the winner gets a soda. Okay. You got a coin to match with? No. Say, Doc, let me have a nickel for a second, will you? I don't encourage gambling in here, young man. Oh, this ain't gambling. We're just gonna match to see who gets the soda, Mr. Peavey. It isn't gambling, Mr. Peavey. Come on, Doc. Be a good guy and cough up a nickel. No, I won't. Okay. Come on, Leroy. We'll spend your dime over at Beckman's. Come on, Piggy. Okay. Beckman's is better than Peavey's anyway. Sure. Beckman's is better than Peavey's. Beckman's is better than Peavey's. Now go on. Go to Beckman's. You can give all your trade to Beckman's. Beckman's is better than Peavey's. Beckman's is better than Peavey's. The darn kids will wind up gangsters. Well, much obliged, gentlemen. Now, what can I do for you? Well, uh, oh, yes. We got a proposition I think will interest you, Peavey. From what we've just seen, I'm sure it will. Is this a business proposition? No, this is more what you might call a service to the community. Now, we know you're a public-spirited man, Peavey. I've made my contribution to the war, Judge. Oh, this is different. Stop beating around the bush, Horace. Peavey, we're organizing a boys' club. Something to keep the boys of Summerfield off the streets. Worst place there is for the boys, Peavey. Oh, no, I wouldn't say that. I'd be more interested in a project to keep them away from my magazine stand. Yeah, well, this club will do the trick. It'll keep them off the streets, keep them out of pool rooms, drug stores. The boys will just stay in their club where they can't bother anybody. Well, as you describe it, it sounds a little like a jail. Not at all, Peavey. They'll love it. I'm sure. Chief of Police has promised to cooperate. Besides, we're putting in a parcheesy board. Good game, parcheesy. Quite a round skill to it. It all depends on where you put your blockage. I haven't got time to listen to your parcheesy system, Peavey. We've got to organize this club. Can we count on your support? Uh, just what would that involve, Mr. Gillespie? Nothing financial, Peavey. Floyd Munson has given us the place over his barbershop for a club room. The judge and I are taking care of all the details. All we want from you, Peavey, is some refreshments. Could you bring over a few Coca-Cola's? I think I could make that contribution. We're all set then, Peavey. Judge, we can open her up tonight. By golly, Gillespie, I believe we can. We owe it to the boys, man. How about it, Peavey? Can you come to the grand opening? I'll try, Mr. Gillespie. You'll try nothing. You'll be there and bring the refreshments. What does the flag look there, Floyd? Fine. Looks like a regular club room now. Yeah, the flag lends a patriotic note. The boys ought to like that. Don't you think so, Judge? You bet. Yeah, I think we've got everything just about ready. You might pull that table over in the middle of the room, Floyd, under the light, so the boys can see to play their game. Uh, I'll give you a hand with the floor. Because we ought to get this piano tuned sometime. It's a matter of that piano. Perfectly good piano. A few cigarette burns don't affect the tone. Uncle, how long do I have to sit here? Oh, you don't have to sit there, Leroy. You can get up and move around if you want to. Thanks. When can I go? You can't go. I've told you that. Oh, gee. Listen, Leroy, if Judge Hooker, Mr. Munson and I can give up a whole Saturday afternoon and evening to fixing up a club room for you fellas, you can darn well stay here and enjoy it. You understand? Okay. Have a Fig Newton, Leroy. Oh, thanks. Take one. You gods were only doing this for you boys. Well, I don't know what's keeping them. Did you pass the word around as I told you to? Yeah, it's got around all right. Did you invite Piggy? Yep. Tony? Yep. Well, if Tony comes, the others will come, won't they? I guess so. What did Tony say when you asked him? He said he wouldn't come near the place with a 40-foot pole. Boy, he's a bad influence, all right. Proves the need for this kind of thing. Hey, here comes somebody. We've got a customer. Hello. Anybody up there? Well, it's Gates. Come on up. It's the Chief of Police. Yes, you needn't be alarmed, Leroy. Chief has agreed to sponsor our little club. Isn't that fine? Are you kidding? Well, I see you brought a customer with you, Chief. Yes, yes. I found this little fella hanging around outside. Come along, sonny. You've got nothing to be scared of. Piggy! Hi, Leroy. I didn't see him coming. You did? Well, I see you've got the place fixed up real nice. Well, it looks fine. Piggy, you know everybody here, Mr. Munson. Hi, Piggy. About time you came in for a haircut, isn't it? And Judge Hooker, you know him. Hello, Piggy. Have a Fig Newton. No thanks. You better have one, Piggy. Take two. They're small. Take two, Pig. Now, Piggy, we want you boys to feel entirely at home here. This place is yours, and we want you to regard it as such. Am I right, gentlemen? Right. Take your feet off the table, Leroy. We may enter here only to help you have a good time, boys. We'd like you to regard us as your big brothers. Is that understood? Yes, sir. Now, what would you like to do? I don't know. We've got all kinds of equipment here. Would you like to play part cheesy, huh? Well... Sure, sure. There's nothing like a good lively game of part cheesy. How about it? If you say so. Wait a minute. Maybe he don't want to play part cheesy. Certainly. We've got other games. How would you like to play pin the tail on the donkey? Oh, for corn sake. Quiet, you. Of course, if we play pin the tail on the donkey, we'll have to ask the judge to step outside, or somebody might pin the tail on him. Don't just sit there, fellas. What do you want to play? You'd like to know what we'd really like to play. Yes. We'd like to go down to Hawaii and play basketball. With the other fellas. After all the work we went through here. Now, Gilday, we don't want to force the boys to remain here if they don't want to. Well, Doug, go on it. Of course, if they go now, they won't be allowed to come back. That's right. If they go now, they won't get any Coca-Cola. That's right. If they go now, they'll be missing a lot of dandy fun. That's right. But the choice is up to them. What do you say, boys? We'll go. Oh! Well, go on, then, both of you. Come on! Go ahead. Get out of here. Did you try to do something for them? And what thanks do you get? My goodness, what's going on up here? Pee-Vee. Hello, Pee-Vee. I'm sorry if I'm late, gentlemen. But because of course. Hey, I could go for a Coke right now. Oh, well, it's easier for the boys, Floyd. Nuts to the boys. Let's open them up. Well, I don't understand, Mr. Gilday. Seems our little club is something of a flop, Pee-Vee. Evidently not good enough for them. Well, I wouldn't say that. I think it looks very attractive. Now, then, open up, Pee-Vee. Right here. Oh, look out, look out, Floyd. It's running over. Grab it, Floyd. That's the stuff. Hey, open one for me, Pee-Vee. Oh, boy, that's good. Well, you better have one, too, Pee-Vee. There you are, Mr. Gilday. Oh, that's more like it. You know, I'm kind of glad those kids left. Me, too. They kind of throw a damper on things. You know what I mean? I don't know what's the matter with boys these days. They don't know how to have fun. Oh, speaking of fun, what would you gentlemen say to a few hands of Pee-Nockle? Got a deck down in the shop. Good idea. What do you say, Pee-Vee? Uh-oh. I'm afraid I ought to be getting home, gentlemen. Bushwa, Pee-Vee, stick around. Hey, Judge, open a bottle for the peeve. One coke coming up. Yeah. No, really, gentlemen. I've got to drive. Yes, you've got to. Oh, he's a jolly good fellow for he's a jolly good fellow. Come on, Floyd. You play the piano in a broken-down sort of way. How about a little harmony? Yeah, yeah, a little harmony. Come on. Yeah. Now, wait a minute. Come over here, Pee-Vee. I'll be the conductor. There's hope. Quiet, Joe. Now, Judge, here's your note. Little pushy. That's right. Now, hold on to it. Floyd, you take me. Yeah, that's your note. I'll take so. You take do. Can you make it? Do. Congratulations. Oh, and the chief. Chief, can you? Do. The tavern in the town. Tuesday night. That's when the wife plays. Well, Friday's is better for me. Oh, how about you, Pee-Vee? What's a good night for you? There's no such thing as a good night for me. Now, that's no attitude, Pee-Vee. We gotta do something about Pee-Vee's attitude, fellas. It hasn't been right lately. Yeah, I've been noticing. Pee-Vee, you're a bad boy. Well, now I wouldn't say that. I'll tell you what, fellas. We'll call it the Jolly Boy Social Club. For men only, no women. And if any kids come around, we'll throw them out in their ear. Huh? Pray for the Jolly Boy. Yeah. There is the tavern in the town. Pee-Vee. And there are my two loves. Pee-Vee, have it your own way. Well, folks, Gildersleeve was kind of silly again tonight. I guess he had the right idea there, but he went at it in the wrong way. Even Gildersleeve ought to know that Leroy is better off playing basketball down at the Y. In other words, the way to help out the boys in our community is to support the organizations that know how to handle the problem. It's a big one right now because there are a lot of kids knocking around the streets these days with no one to take care of them or supervise them. Their fathers are in the service and their mothers are helping in the war plants. In almost all communities now, the agencies that look after the welfare of youngsters are supported by a cooperative organization called the National War Fund. Of course, that's not all it does. It also supports the clinics and hospitals, visiting nurses' associations, provides special care for crippled and undernourished children, and many other local services. This is, in addition to the important work the War Fund does all over the world, it supports thousands of clubs for our servicemen and women, and our merchant seamen sends aid to American prisoners of war. It includes the relief organizations of our fighting allies. It's a mighty big thing. I don't see how they accomplish all they do, but you can see they need money. So when one of your neighbors calls on you to ask for a contribution to the National War Fund, remember what he represents and be generous. Good night, ladies and gentlemen. Music on this program was directed by Claude Swig. This is Ken Carpenter speaking for the Craft Cheese Company, making some party margarine on a complete line of famous quality food products. Craft and buy it soon. We'll list them again next week for the further adventures of the Red Silver Sleeves.
