How can anybody sleep with that? No consideration or all around this house like trying to sleep inside of a juke mill. Eh jukebox Why can't she keep that confounded thing turned down Marjorie? What's the idea of blasting this radio so loud? Good morning people are trying to sleep around this house or I was at least I'm sorry uncle more But if I don't turn it loud, how can I hear Larry Ladd when I take my shower after all? Larry like naturally who else is there? Oh listen to him uncle more doesn't that voice do things to you? Yes, it does. It wakes me up Now keep it low listen uncle more listen How wonderful can you be that's the sugar Leroy please and stop gulping your eggs watch those bites You'll strangle yourself on scrambling more bacon.

We think you were starving. I will stop acting like it I'll pass you the bacon as soon as I help myself The police hot I was trying to tell you Mr. Guilty You help yourself and I'll put on some more for Miss Marjorie Marjorie. Hadn't she come downstairs yet? You're gonna she knows what time we have breakfast around here, doesn't she?

There's a thing on there that she's real fond of yes I heard him this morning. Oh There you are young lady. Good morning everybody Leroy unplugged the toaster quick. Huh? Never mind. I'll do it myself Here here. What's all the excitement? I want to plug in my little radio before it gets cold Marjorie I told you never to bring that radio to the place uncle more just a minute Marjorie turn that darn thing No corn say Isn't he wonderful uncle more? Oh, how perfect can you be turn that radio off this instant? You don't have to yell at me after all eat your breakfast great Scott Where did this sudden craze for this crooner come from all at once anyway? Who is he for Pete's sake? I've never even heard of it uncle more really. I mean honestly. How square can you be square? He's just the greatest thing in radio. That's all well. He's only going to take the place of Frank Sinatra. That's all That won't upset me too much Those fellas all sound about alike anyway, I don't know how you can say such a thing uncle more After all you're supposed to know a little about singing. I know quite a bit about singing young lady sure He does you know what mrs. Bullard said oh, she said when you sing the road to Mandalay, that's really something Oh, she did a Leroy. Mrs. Bullard said that she did She didn't say what it was. She just said it was something Oh Mandalay is one of my favorites of course. There's a song with some meek some feeling in it Who ever flying fishes play a little different from the sort of things your crooner sings my dear Oh, if you'd ever hear Larry lad, but really hear him uncle more to be gone But gone his voice just makes you all goose pimply inside. I sound like this gargling Stop saying that uncle more That's enough You too my dear finish your breakfast both of you. I'm going downtown a little while look here's a picture uncle more You can see just perfect. I don't want to look at it Let me see that a minute Where did this little gold frame come from may I ask the frame? Oh? It came out of my room. I've got 112 pictures of Larry and I always have one where I can see it no matter You know what I mean Marjorie whose picture was in this frame before this this crooner came into your life Yeah, who's what you shut up? well Your picture wasn't an uncle more it's not so but it was sort of lost in my dresser with those pictures of Larry all around it I mean he's so young and handsome and well I thought your picture would get more attention and stand out better fastened on my mirror. Oh well Fastened on your mirror Now see here marjorie And for goodness sake marjorie, let's just be a little sensible about this thing. That's all yes, uncle more use a little restraint After all he's just another singer my dear. He's not Caruso. You know Caruso Uncle more really I mean can you picture one of those old-time tenors trying to get any real feeling into a Rainy night in Rio for instance Oh for heaven's sake if this lake fellow ever tried to sing anything really good like well road demand delay He'd sound flatter than a tortilla uncle more just because you like the way you sing I don't think you have any right to insult the great. I didn't say anything about my singing I Happen to do the road to Mandalay rather well, but there's nothing to do with it I just don't like to see you making a fool of yourself marjorie. All right, don't worry I'll put your picture back in the gold frame. I didn't say that Although it is ridiculous to have a hundred pictures of the same fellow when you start carrying pictures of a crooner around in your purse I wish you wouldn't use that word. It's so common purse. What do you call it a pocketbook? Crooner I mean there are literally just hundreds of crooners on the air. There's only one Larry Lake That's more than enough Larry lad Honestly when he sings your heart just sort of rolls over inside And Leslie touched him uncle mort actually touched him with her hand at a broadcast She kept her hand wrapped up to her mother made her wash it If he ever touched me I die I just die I give up I'm gonna park the car here my dear Thanks for the lift on key. I'm going to the bank in the barbershop now be at PV's round noon if you want to ride home Okay, I've got a rush now though Larry's newest recording goes on sale recording. He just made the road to Mandalay He swings the last car and it's absolutely is nothing sacred You know anything I can do for you. I need some shaving cream PV. Yeah, use your kind Yes, I'm afraid I just told the last guy that a while ago. I ought to have some more in in a week or so though What am I gonna do for a week let my beard grow and lots of people do What else have you got that's good. Well, I've got about all the popular brands Mr. Yes, they're all pretty good All right, give me whatever you use yourself. I don't care. Well, I use an electric razor myself I got it for Christmas and I thought I ought to try it on confounded PV give me that jar there the one on the end Got enough on my mind without standing here trying to argue you into selling me something Oh, I'm always glad to sell anything to my customers, but to go to see if they tell me what they want Oh, by the way, your niece was in here a while ago. She was my George I'm a little worried about Marjorie PV. She's got a silly crush on one of those radio crooners Bobby sock stuff Says no whether she's coming or going All she does is sit around and listen to his records all day. He doesn't study She doesn't eat right. She keeps the whole house in an uproar. I've heard about cases like that, Mr. They they say that when that young synoptor fellow sings girls fall right down in the aisle at the theater You'd think if he affected them that way, they'd stay home That's just the point PV. They don't stay home. They like that stuff Though I've gone if you don't know how well off you are PV. You're lucky you haven't any children Well, I wouldn't care and yes, I guess at times. I would say that I Hello horse that'll be all PV. Will you wrap it up? So Marjorie down the street a while ago? She's a nice child gilding going to be a very pretty woman. I wish you'd start being a woman. I mean Darned judge these kids seem to get younger all the time instead of older. I wish I had that trouble I My dream has gone Bobby sauce all at once over one of those darn crooners Listen to his records from morning to night. You have pictures of them all over the house 120 of them or something I used to save pictures for now as a youngster. I had quite a few of Louie and Russell at one time Mrs. PV gave him to the Salvation Army as I recall Oh My dream got the whole house upset the trouble with you is that you weren't too much guilty Children Marjorie's age are very susceptible to infatuations of that sort. It's a perfectly normal reaction What do you know about children hooker? Well, I spent a good many years with children and their problems on the juvenile bench guilty as you well Know after all I was barely 30 years old when I went into juvenile court. What were you the youngest judge or the oldest defendant? You know my record and my advice to you is to stop trying to live the children's lives for them Let him alone Marjorie will probably forget all about this crooner in a week. I'm ready to forget him right now Best thing you can do You're going to the symphony concerted tonight by the way symphony. Yes, don't you read the papers guilty? The Toledo Civic Orchestra is at the auditorium some new conductor supposed to be very good I've got troubles enough. I'm going home. Oh and before you go, mr Youngest, maybe your niece left this note for you I suppose you will want to read it or take it with you note Of course, I want to read it pv. You didn't tell me Marjorie left a note for me. You didn't ask me, mr Youngest, maybe oh very good. She said she was waiting in the car for you, but she had to leave So she wrote this note. I gave her the paper compliments of the pharmacy very white of you pv Now, let me read it. Will you please? Dear uncle mort Larry Lake was on a record program.

No, that's why you make your biggest mistake. You must do it gently gently Huh? How many times have I told you we who handle children in this This difficult adolescent stage must do it with a soft touch It's no soft touch getting these kids of mine to do anything You must guide the child throckmorton never push her that age their feelings are pretty easily hurt Bruce's feelings often leave the child to a defense mechanism of stubbornness. Yeah, but but gee whiz eve I've got some feelings too haven't I I I have about you, eve Uh this uh this infatuation for this crew it's a very normal thing. You know, it's just Part of growing up part of the transition from girlhood to womanhood.
