 Birdie, have you seen Uncle Mort? He's upstairs getting ready to go to the county fair. He even got him a new suit, binoculars, and a cane. Oh, brother, what a character. Tonight, in the fourth of a new fall and winter series of Wednesday evening broadcasts, the Craft Foods Company presents Willard Waterman as the Great Gelder Sleeve. The Sleeve is brought to you by the Craft Foods Company, makers of parquet margarine and all those other wonderful craft quality foods. Next time you buy margarine, learn for yourself why so many people prefer parquet margarine to any other. Actually, there's just one big reason. Millions prefer parquet margarine to any other spread because it tastes so good. And it tastes so good because it's always fresh. If you live where colored margarine is sold, get yellow parquet in its new flavor saver package. Each golden quarter pound is separately wrapped in new flavor saver aluminum foil to keep freshness and flavor in, staleness and odor out. Elsewhere, get parquet in the convenient color-quick bag or the regular package. In any package, it's the margarine that tastes so good because it's always fresh. That's P-A-R-K-A-Y, parquet margarine made by Craft. Get some tomorrow. The lights are bright in Summerfield tonight. Crowds are on the streets. Tomorrow's the big day. It's county fair. Out at the Great Gilded Sleeves House, the water commissioner isn't waiting till tomorrow morning to fit himself out for the fair. He's dressing tonight. Yes, sir. Spent $35 for this suit and by George is worth it. When I go to the fair, I'm representing the city water. I got the sparkle. I wish I had a full-length mirror so I could see the pans. Are you in your room, monkey? Yes, coming in, Marjorie. I'm trying on my new suit. Not bad, huh? Oh, that's handsome, Uncle Mort. And a new necktie. Yep. Water commissioner necktie. Hand painted picture and Niagara Falls. Wait, is that a spot on there? No, I asked a clerk about that. It's a man going over the falls in a barrel. Clever? Well, you look fine, Uncle. Thank you, my dear. Say, where is everybody? Well, Bronco's working later tonight so we can go to the fair tomorrow. Good boy. And Bertie's down in the kitchen and Leroy's in the living room practicing on the piano. Well, fine. Guess I'll get down and give the boy a little encouragement. You'll just leave. You've got this house all running like clockwork. Keep this up. It's going to be a murder. Mr. is listening. You're doing fine. Keep at it, Leroy. Practice makes perfect, you know. Gee, I don't have to practice now. I know it's a big temptation to run out to the fairgrounds, but duty comes first. Do your work and then play afterwards. Oh, no, I got to sit here and practice. It's lonely. Leroy, when a person plays the piano, he can never be lonely. The way I play it, he can. Well, you have to keep at it. Sir, you know Mr. Gildersleeve, when a man's going to be a father, he really has to pitch. Yeah, that's right. Marge and I are going to have a little bird in our nest. Marge, Mr. Gildersleeve, look what I bought downtown. It's a wonderful book. A book? Well, good. This is no ordinary book, Mr. Gildersleeve. This is about babies. It tells what to do with them. Oh, let's see it, Bronco. Say, a cute picture in the cover. A stork carrying a baby in a tablecloth. What's going on? Now, Leroy, stay with your practicing. Holy, Bronco found a baby book. It'll tell us exactly what to do. Okay. That's nice. Leroy? Huh? Your practicing. Okay. George, you're going to finish that lesson if I have to nail your trousers to the piano stool. Uncle Mort, here's something interesting. Oh? Here in the back of the book, behavior of older children. It says, do not force the child to obey. Seek his cooperation by being a partner. Join in his activity. Well, that's right. Good advice. In cases in which the child finds an activity difficult or uninteresting, the parent should become a partner so that the parent and child work and learn side by side. Yes, indeed. I want to remember that, Mytria. Leroy sure having a bad time with them piano lessons. You see, Anki, the reason Leroy doesn't like to practice his piano is that he's alone. The book is absolutely right. What are you leading up to? Well, I think what she means, Mr. Gildersleeve, is that you and Leroy should be partners in the piano. Partners in the piano? Well, it's never too late to learn, Anki. That's right, Mr. Gildersleeve. My grandfather learned to play the bass clarinet when he was 74. And Leroy wouldn't mind practicing his hour a day if he knew you were doing it too, would he, Birdie? I think Leroy would be tickled to death, but I can't see the two of them on that piano stool. Somebody's gonna be sitting on thin air. Well, they wouldn't practice at the same time. Ah, Mytria, you're being carried away with an idea. It wouldn't make a bit of difference to Leroy if I practiced a lesson with him. Not a bit. All right, ask him. Well, Leroy? No, no, come here. How would you... I mean, you wouldn't like your panelists any better. I mean, it wouldn't be any easier if I practiced along with you, would it? You won't? Practicing? He's ridiculous, isn't he? I think it's a keen idea. You do. Practice those chocolates there, P.D. Yeah, well. Are they fresh? If I just give them to him, P.D., I'm in a big hurry. Give me a chance to dust it off. The box doesn't look very fresh to me. Well, you don't have to eat the box. Just eat what's inside. All right, P.D. Now it'll be one dollar and three cents for the governor. There you are, P.D. Thank you. Taking a candy with you to the fair tomorrow, I presume? No, P.D., the candy's for the girl I'm taking to the fair tomorrow. I haven't time to talk now. I've been away from the house for over an hour. I still have to go to Katie Milford's. Leroy'll be looking for him. Oh, by the way, Leroy was in here a while ago. He asked if you'd been in. Uh-oh. Said you were practicing his music with him. No, P.D., this is just a silly idea of margarities. I had nothing to do with it. For goodness sakes, don't tell anybody. I'll be the laughing stock of the town. No, no, no, I wouldn't say that. You what? Oh, I think it's a very commendable thing. You do? Really? And Leroy said some rather complimentary things about you. He did? Well, I hadn't thought of it that way. Of course, if you'd rather, I didn't mention it to anybody. Good evening, Gilday. P.D. Hello, Judge. Good evening, John. Well, Judge, I suppose you heard the news. What news? Well, little Leroy's been having such a hard time practicing his piano lessons that I decided to join right in with him. We were taking up the piano together. Don't tell anybody, he said. Well, I killed it. You mean you're practicing his little pieces right along with him? Yes, indeed. Now or a day. Windbag. Well, that's the nicest thing I ever heard. Yeah. Leroy said you were supposed to come home. The piano is waiting. All right, P.D. And I suppose that tomorrow when you and Leroy have finished your stint at the keyboard, you will be off arm in arm to the fair. Well, not exactly, Judge. I'm planning to take Katie Milford. Oh, your little nurse. Yeah. In fact, I'm on my way to her house right now. Yeah, I see you have a large box of candy. Need any help carrying it? No, thanks, Judge. My hands need to exercise. Got the limber up for the piano. Mr. Gildiff. Well, Gildiff, let me say I'm extremely proud of you for what you're doing. Thank you, Judge. Mr. Gildiff, maybe. Oh, but what is it, P.D.? If you don't move, you're going to be the hottest piano player in town. What? You're leaning up against the cigar lighter. Oh! There's a light on at Katie's house. It's been a long time since I've seen her. I wonder if she's missed me. She's sure she has. How could she help it? 9.30, Gildiff, leave me. You better shake a leg. I'll stand under the porch light so it catches my profile from the top like I do in the movies. I wonder if she's changed. K-K-K-T. Beautiful K-T. Who's there? Three guesses. Well, Throckmorton, it's you. Yep, it's me. I don't know if I should ask you in or not. Huh? You've been away a long, long time. You've been Catherine. I've been busy. Besides, you know what they say about absence. Makes the heart grow fond of it. It'll let me come in. Just for a little while. Oh, Throckmorton, you naughty boy. I can't say anything. Why, George, she has changed. Don't have any trouble saying no to me before. Come on in. But just for a minute. Oh, thank you. She's prettier, too. Gorgeous. I wonder what she did last summer. Let me look at you, Throckmorton. I'd almost forgotten how big and handsome you are. You have? Let me unbutton your coat. Oh, brother. Perfume in her hair. Makes me dizzy. Now, come and sit here beside me on the couch. Love to. Such a long time. That's a lovely suit you're wearing. Yep, brand new. Herringbone. Oh. Talk to me, Throckmorton. Well, when I stopped by to ask you, Catherine, I wondered if you'd like to go to the fair with me tomorrow, opening day. No, I don't think I should. Catherine, I was counting on it. I even brought you some candy. Oh, thank you. They're good. Chocolate-covered philbrits. But I don't think I'll go to the fair with you tomorrow. Please, Catherine. No, I don't think so. Pretty please? No, I've been heard from you in months. You came back from your vacation. You didn't even call me. Well, I've had lots of work at the office. And I'm helping Leroy with his piano lessons. You're doing what? What, poor little fellow, practicing at that piano all alone? Simply decided he needed somebody to do it with him. Throckmorton, you mean you're doing that for Leroy? He and I practice an hour every day. Well, you angels. How long have you been doing this? Yeah, starting tonight. That's such a sweet thing to do. Yeah. Do you still want Katie to go to the fair with you tomorrow? Sure I do. Throckmorton, when a man is kind enough to help a little boy, it's the least I can do. Great. Kill his sleeve, stop shaking. How did you better go home now, Throckmorton? Home. But I just wanted to see you. Don't you have to practice? No, I'll do it tomorrow. I got a little practicing to do right here. Oh, oh, oh. The Great Gilded Sleeve returns in just a moment. It's fresh. Fresh. Really fresh. Fresh. Always fresh. Fresh. That's why it tastes so good.

County Fair opens today in Summerfield. Beautiful morning and everybody at the Great Yoder Sleeves House is busy getting ready for the big day. But the great man himself is way ahead of them. He's at the fair already and he isn't even out of bed. Taking the bet. Well, it's me, Yankee, breakfast's ready. Everybody's up at you. They are? Lee Roy's already practiced his hour for today. You didn't practice yours last night. Well, I got tied up. I'll do it this morning. Why don't you practice an hour before breakfast and an hour after breakfast? That'll catch up for last night and you'll be all through for today. No, I think I'll put in two hours after breakfast. I don't think I could hit an E flat on an empty stomach. Land is so much hurrying around here getting ready for the fair, I don't know which way is up. Well, everybody's busy today, Bert. Yes, sir, that little Lee Roy sure is. He's been practicing this morning like a little angel. Ever since you told him you're gonna do it with him. Well, it's my duty, Bertie. He's a little boy with his little problems. Yes, sir. Lee Roy has to learn that when you have a job to do, you do it before you do anything else. Yes, sir. Learning the value of responsibility. That's important. Yes, sir. That's how I got to be water commissioner. Yes, sir. Uh, you go practice the piano this morning, Mr. Gillsley? Certainly, Bertie. Two hours. As soon as I take a look at the morning paper. Yankee, it's 10 o'clock. Are you going to fair? Yes, indeed. I'm taking Miss Milford. Well, you better hurry if you're going to practice two hours. All right, my dear. I'm not putting it off. Just want a glance at the paper. Hey, I've done my practicing. Well, good. When are you going to start? Right away, my boy. Just want to look at the comics. Come on. I'll do your work first and play afterwards. That's what you tell me. All right. Be right there. All right. I'm coming. So me? I'm coming right now. You're not moving. Lee Roy. Where's the piano? Same place it's always been. Good, good. Same piano. Okay, there you are. I'm for instructions. And here's the piece we're practicing. Oh, what's the piece called? The Happy Farmer. Oh, brother. Let me get the bench over here, huh? Gee, this is keen. You and me beating the piano together, huh? Yeah, keen. Here's the clock on the table. You can see when you practice two hours. All right, Lee Roy. Now run along. I want to watch you. You don't have to watch me. I'll do it. And the piece starts right here at the top of the page. Yeah, I know that, Lee Roy. You're the Happy Farmer. All right, now see sharp. Lee Roy. Well, somebody at the door. I'll get it. Yeah, I'll get it, Bertie. I'll get it. I'm right here. You're supposed to be practicing. Yeah, I will, Lee Roy. Let me answer the door. Don't be so crabby. Well, good morning, Gilday. Well, Horace, glad to see you. Come in and sit down. What a slippery character. I was just going by on my way to the fair, Gilday. I wondered if you and Miss Milford would like to ride with me in my new car. That's a wonderful idea, Judge. I'll get my hat and we'll drive by Catherine's house. Oh. What? Remember the Happy Farmer? Oh, him. Sorry, Judge, you'd better go along. I have to practice. Oh, what a shame. And I have my top down. It's a convertible, you know. Oh, you might drive around the block. Honk. Lee Roy, it'll only take a minute. Do your work first, Doug. Don't put it off. Oh. Lee Roy is right, Gilday. But at least you can come out to the car and see my prize pumpkin that I'm taking to the fair. Yeah. You mean you have a pumpkin? Oh, I've got to see that. Come on, Judge. Be right back, Lee Roy. Was I ever like this? Little pumpkin, Judge. Raise it yourself, huh? Oh, yes, Gilday. Right in my own back yard. I'll be right there. Maybe you had better go, Gilday. Relax, Judge. You'll forget it. Plenty of time. Don't you think you better go in? It's getting late. No. Let's talk some more, Judge. Oh, I can't think of anything else to talk about. Well... And I must be running along, Gilday. I've been opening the fairgrounds in 10 minutes. I want to avoid the crowd. Don't want anybody to jostle my pumpkin. Yeah, all right, Judge. I'll be leaving in a few minutes, too. Got to pick up Catherine. Here's the fair, Gilday. Goodbye, Judge. Look. No ship. I guess I shouldn't have stayed out there so long. Now, if I could just get past Lee Roy. Don't see him. Sure. He's probably forgotten all about me. Catherine's waiting for me. Well, I'm going to do it, too. Later. I'll do it tonight. I'll practice three hours tonight. Okay, Uncle. Sure. Can't miss the fair, my boy. Okay. You understand, don't you? Sure, I understand. We're going, Uncle. See you at the fair. Yeah, I'll see you at the fair, Mr. Gilderslinger. Yeah, goodbye. Lee Roy. I don't want you think I'm going back on a promise. No, it's all right. I'm leaving for the fair, Mr. Gilday. All right, Birdie. Hey, poor Uncle. You go ahead. You don't have to practice. Really? No. By George, I can't do it. I made a promise. Wouldn't have any fun at the fair if I did go. You run along, my boy. Have a good time. Aren't you going? No. I'll stay here. But how about Miss Milford? On your way. Stop by your house. Tell her I couldn't make it. Tell her... Tell her I had to work. Gilderslinger, quit peeling sour for yourself. It's your own fault. Everybody else is at the fair. Having fun. Now I know how Lee Roy feels. All alone at the piano. Katie, you'll never speak to me again. You wonder what Katie's doing. Hello, Throckmorton. Oh, Catherine. How'd you get in here? I saw you through the window and slipped in. Why did you go to the fair? Oh, I couldn't, Throckmorton. Not after I found out what had happened. What do you mean? Lee Roy told me why you didn't come. He did? Mm-hmm. I admire you. Well... Move over a little. What are you going to do? Sit down here beside you. You know, Throckmorton, it's so much easier to practice when you have somebody to do it with you. Oh, what a girl. This is better than going to the fair. The Great Gildersleeve will be right back.
