 Craft presents the Great Gilder Sleeves. Each week at this time from Hollywood, California, Craft presents Harold Perry as the Great Gilder Sleeves, written by Leonard L. Levinson. We'll hear from the Great Gilder Sleeves in just a moment. The first, what if you have to ridden an automobile since the old model was there, and then a friend gave you a ride in a fast, smooth-running modern automobile. Wouldn't that convince you that there's different things to make? Well, if you haven't tasted margarine for a good long time, you'll get that same kind of surprise when you try parquet margarine, the margarine that's made by craft. Yes, you just can't imagine how downright good tasting modern margarine can be so you've tried delicious parquet. That's why with food prices rising, so many hotlives are using parquet margarine, serving as the table, using it for baking and hand-frying too, because this modern margarine, parquet margarine, not only has a delicate satisfying flavor the whole family loves, it's also an economical source of food value the whole family needs. Yes, parquet margarine is a wholesome, highly nutritious energy food, and every pound contains 9,000 units of important vitamin A. So don't make up your mind about any margarine if you found out how good, delicious nourishing parquet is. Tomorrow, sure, ask your dealer for parquet, D-A-R-K-A-Y. And now let's visit our friends at Great Gilded Bay. And he and Marjorie and Leroy are waiting in the Summerfield Railroad Station for the arrival of that well-known author, Lester and second person, Octavia Gilded Bay. Do you have a recognized cousin, Octavia? Oh, yes, my dear. Although I haven't seen her for years, her face comes back to me frequently in nightmares. She looks like, um... Well, Leroy, did you ever see the USS Idaho in a bad storm? No. Let's stick around until she gets off. She's been very successful as a rocker, hasn't she? Yes, yes. She's the author of Here's Your Child, The Problem, or Why Bring That Up. She was first to advocate a policy of never striking a child except in self-defense. How long your cousin Octavia's going to be here? Just between trains. She's on a lecture tour and has to hop around the country. It seems her new manager doesn't know much about geography. He booked her alphabetically. How's that? She's on her way from Akron to Albuquerque. And from there she goes to Alcuna, Pennsylvania, then Amarillo, Texas, and then Atlantic City. Yeah, at that rate, she will get to talk in Summerfield for years. Yeah, that's nice, isn't it? Oh, and there she is. Well, well, well. Hello, Octavia. I'm Brock Morty. Oh, Brock Morty. Well, let me look at you. Now, turn around. Yes. Oh, yes. I've known you any place. Yes, yes. This is Marjorie and Leroy, and this is your cousin Octavia. Oh, hello, President. How's everything on the Idaho, cousin Octavia? Idaho? Yeah, keeping that in mind. You've got a battleship to make. I mean, uh... How is cousin Cibley here? Still got his feet on a stocking chain? Oh, no, he lost it. Yeah. How's your little daughter? A little bell. Oh, give me Barbara Ann. Oh, here she is, right here. Oh, I didn't know you were going to bring her along. And children meet your little cousin. Oh, father Ann. Here's cousin Brock Morty, cousin Marjorie, and cousin Leroy. I am very pleased to meet you, cousin Brock Morty, cousin Marjorie, and cousin Leroy. Oh, isn't she just a little doll? I do hope to see you from home for lunch. Oh, no, I'm sorry, Marjorie, but our train for Albuquerque leaves in six to seven minutes. Oh, that's too bad. We would have enjoyed having you. Well, I would have liked to, but again, one public makes as many demands if I'm one's mind of a need. Well, one must meet a boss like a butterfly, mustn't one? Quietly, Roy. I didn't say anything. Oh. However, I'll be turning this way again next week, and if you're really determined, it would... Well, Barbara Ann can stay here with you until we come up next Thursday. Yeah, huh? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I guess that'll be splendid by then. Oh, now, can you do that night? And won't you have a good time, Barbara Ann? I don't know. Well, my mother? Of course you will. Yes. And I know just what room we'll give you to. Oh, my room. Yeah. Now... Oh. Cousin Van Huff, visible of the Roy. Oh, dearly, now this is all about Peter. I'm a little sorry Anna to persuade me, but you must promise to take good care of mother's little treasure. Now, Octavia, you needn't worry yourself into a new set of wrinkles. We'll take good care of her. She's just welcome as long as she wants to stay here. By the way, how soon will you be back to figure us out? Well, oh, in a week or eight days at the most. Now, there are Barbara Ann's bags and a bit of music for her. So Leo will now be sure he practices her piano and vocalizing every day. Well... Oh, my goodness. Oh. Now, Barbara Ann, before mother gets on the train, I want one little word alone with you, darling. Yes. Excuse us all. Oh, yes. It's all right. Now, darling, I want you to promise you'll be a good girl while you're visiting Cousin Van Huff's garden. You know me, Anna. Yes, I know you. That's why I'm warning you, young baby. Now, remember, no stuffing, pillows, and tinnies like you did at Uncle Henry's or painting the baby green which you did at Uncle Sylvia's Really, honey? Don't make your voice. It's so middle class. Oh. Sometimes I wonder if you're deserving of all I'm doing for you, Barbara Ann. Writing these books and making these extra tours, you just don't seem to appreciate it. Oh, hide down, mother. I'll lay on the floor and scream. Oh. No more time for fun. Farewell, my dear. That Cousin Octavia's playing the vegetable line. Now, Barbara Ann, I want you to be brave. We interrupt the program for a special bulletin Tokyo Monday December 8. Japan went to war against the United States in Great Britain today with air and sea attacks against Hawaii followed by a formal declaration of hostilities. Japanese Imperial Headquarters announced at 6 a.m. that's 4 p.m. Sunday Eastern Standard Time that a state of war existed among these nations in the western Pacific as of dawn. Shortly afterwards, Domai announced that naval operations are progressing off Hawaii with at least one Japanese aircraft carrier in action against Pearl Harbor, the American Naval Base in the island. We return you now to the Great Gilders, please. Don't you think so, my dear? All of you, would I ask me? Leroy, nobody asks you. Well, go ahead. Happy, I say. Firefly Roy. It was well done, Barbara Ann. Can I have my quarter now? A quarter? Yes. I always get a quarter when I play. Sometimes my father gives it to me before I'm saved. Yes. Yes, I'm beginning to see why. Well, here you are, young lady. Now you and Leroy run along somewhere and play. All right, Uncle Morse. All right, Uncle Morse. What do you mean, Uncle Morse? He's just a cousin of yours. Lovely interview. Oh, say, Uncle Morse. Yes, Marjorie. You haven't been tying on my hats, have you? Don't be silly. I haven't had on a lady's hat since the last time I went course not. You must have been Barbara Ann. And she's handsome. Oh, my dear, not her. Why, she's a regular little angel. Little, little, little. Let's go. By Leroy. What's wrong? What is it, Leroy? Well, she's busy serving Barbara Ann her breakfast and bed. I had breakfast and bed at morning school. And some of the other guys showed my bunk with cornflakes. Next. So great that she had breakfast and bed ever since she was born. Well, I did, too, up to a certain point. And they bought me a high chair. Yeah. Ah. Hey, good morning, Brady. Can I have my breakfast now, please? No, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, please. Just as soon as I picked up some other eggs from Missy Barbara Ann. Missy Barbara Ann? Yes, so that's what she told me to call her. And by the way, is the bandana hate you around here anyway. She wants me to wrap my head up in more. Brady, I wish you sock-layed top-seater early lima. Get some breakfast for the rest of you. I'm fine. I'm still free, but I can't do it just now. I got the little girl two-minute eggs about 35 seconds too well done by mistake. And now she wants Is that anything like scramble? Oh, she just wants it done over again. Say, Brady, have you got my ones back yet? Oh, I know there's stuff about this. Just remember, I'll fix this for you the minute I've finished him Barbara Ann will manicure. Oh, yes, those pale hands he loves so well. Yeah. People, I can leave for school right now. You better give me some money to buy lunch. Yes, all right. Here's a thirteenth. Hey, man, don't you dare eat four hot dogs. Have something else, too. Okay, two hot dogs and two hamburgers. Yes. We shouldn't let things like this happen around here, Bertie. What are you looking for, Bertie? Oh, I got to find some paper and a pencil, Mr. Gill, please. Paper and a pencil? What do you want them for? Well, I don't know exactly why I must help. Well, Miss Barbara Ann done told me she walked me right, Barbara Ann, but Uncle Moore is going to be pretty angry when he comes home and finds out what you've done. Only though I don't think those views are enough. Well, fattening when you see how nicely I've washed out all his pipes. It's not something you need to know. Oh, it's bad enough putting them in salt and water, but playing them with my doings personally was just too much. Well, you did great with me, Smartie. And after your suit, you took me to the drugstore for an ice cream soda. Northern Door, what do you think I am? Made of money? I took you there yesterday for a soda and you had three of them. Here, you drank up my allowance for three weeks and half an hour. But you have 50 cents now. I thought I'd just ask Smartie to get to you. That's for my haircut. Well, I don't see why you have to throw away your money in Bobby's shop, but I can give you a lovely haircut myself. You? Oh, yes. I've got my hair. Oh, I don't believe you. I'll just cut your hair to prove it. After all, I owe it to you. What do you mean you owe it to me? Well, it's been so nice to me. I want to earn this half a dollar so I can beat you. Gee, I don't know. Oh, come on. Don't be so adolescent. Okay, but what do you mean I'm adolescent? I had them taken up the same time they took out my car. We interrupt the program to bring a report from the Panama Radio. A jet aircraft carrier was sunk off Honolulu, according to Panama Radio. May we repeat that? According to the Panama Radio, a jet aircraft carrier was sunk off Honolulu, according to Panama Radio. We return you now to Hollywood. Nice. Because that's dinner on Leroy. Take off your cap. Well, we're okay. Oh, my goodness. Put it back on again. I'll take it off a little at a time so I can use it. I'll see you here later. Now, if you'll just let me explain, Uncle, I didn't go to any bubble. I'll tell you, didn't that man wasn't even a good whisher? Still don't get it, Uncle. This was a homemade job. Miss Cousin Darkmorton, I tried my best to explain Leroy not to do it, but he insisted on cutting his hair himself. Oh, me? Yes, you. No, you did. Oh, Leroy, how could you? Now, see here, bubble, and... Take your fist out of your little Cousin's face, Leroy. It's unsanitary. I said he wanted to use the haircut money to buy ice cream, so did we. What a liar. I'm so afraid he tried to need to cut his hair for him. What? He'd like it too outside, Bob, Leroy, and he... And then, for flavors, he used your electric razor. Oh, he got jammed up, and smoke started coming out. And it got so hot, I couldn't hold it. Oh, I mean, you couldn't hold it. Ah, see? Are you sure you're telling the truth, Father? Of course, Cousin Darkmorton, he was amazing to us. Yes, I made you grab up the fifty cents and run down to the drugstore, and eat five sodas in per second. Who? I don't know what you're talking about. Okay, call up the drugstore on the morton, find out who they have a user, so much so far. Bob Rand, was it you? Sure it was. He came back and told me all about it. The little gluffer was glowing. This conversation is becoming too, too uttering bolder. In fact, it seems to be amusing. Well, what's gotten into her? I don't know whether it's tempered or heartburn. Come back here, young lady. Yes, Bob Rand. Now, you behave yourself. And sit down. Come very well. We'll go into this thing later. I haven't got any time now. That old goat Judge Hooker will be buttoned in here any moment. Who's Judge Hooker? He's a probate judge who has to approve Uncle Mort's administration of our state. Yes. I want that legal buzzer to okay my annual report. Oh, that must be him now. I'll answer it. Oh, my dream. Yes, him all right. Leroy, if you'd better put your cap on again. Yes, that's much better. Just weigh the old porous plaster. Oh, hello there, Judge. How are you these days? Break side, break side. Huh? Oh, Leroy. Oh, well. Who's the state's little misguided? Oh, this is a little Barbara hand-guildedly judge. Barbara, this is Judge Hooker. Oh, is this Judge Hooker? Yes. Why, somehow I've taken you to have a little white chin with just as much cousin Bachmorton said. Well, what did I say to give you that impression, child? Didn't you say he's an old ghost? Oh. Watch this. That's just a little cold, Judge. Barbara, wouldn't you like to sing pale hands on the piano for the judge? You mean so you're OK, Retoy? You. Watch this. Is that the reason you invited me to dinner? Give it to me. Oh, no, Judge. It's not a dog. I chose if I thought that was the case. I'd turn you down flatter than a splendid surprise. Barbara, I think please, leave the room, young lady. All right, cousin Bachmorton. Glad to have met you, Judge Pilger. Well, kill the sleep. Now that we're alone, take off your coat. Now, Judge, don't be hit me. Take off your coat, kill the sleep. I don't want to fight with you, Judge. Neither do I, but the little brass tin to kick me sign on the back of your coat. What? More war bullets in London Monday. The British Parliament was called into special session for 3 p.m. today to hear a government statement which everyone agreed would be a declaration of war against Japan that was expected to coincide with similar action by the United States. Sipka, Alaska. A blackout was ordered for tonight at this site of a naval air station as police officials began a roundup of questionable characters. We return you now to Hollywood. A whole family container. Yeah. That child is her imagination. She's never been farther south than the first balcony had gone with the wind. Oh, yeah. I think you're doing a poor little thing and injustice. Is that right? OK, OK. Any opinions I express are purely my own and not to be misconstrued by nobody else. Birdie, I think we can leave you out of this conference. Yes, I'll go with why. Well, I'm afraid you might turn into another Mata Hari. Please do why. Thank you, Mr. Kills, please. That's the nicest compliment I've had in years. Yeah. Now, look, children, these desperate measures. I hate to do this. It doesn't set you a very good example. What are you going to do, Uncle Moore? I haven't the faintest idea. But whatever it's going to be, it won't be ours. Can't we just take her out into the country some place and lose her? It's me, Roy. Isn't that kind of a cat? It's part of me, Roy. That child has gotten me in wrong with every one of my boyfriends. You have to stop this. Especially before Christmas. Yeah. Hey, I know what we'll do. We'll send you home. What kind of a television? Listen to this. You better take this down. OK. This is Octavia Gilders-Lee, Fred Harvey Hotel, Albuquerque, New Mexico. Here's Darling Mama. I'm terribly, terribly homesick for you. I don't think I can stand another minute long. I get long summer for you every day. Please come soon to your loving daughter, Barbara Ann. Will you hear that, Mr. New Ellen? I don't know. I'm probably sick, suffering from wholesomeness. Well, there's another relative Barbara Ann in disorder. I'm really coming to the end of my Gilders-Lee. Tough work. Well, I'm going to see you. I'll be my next to tonight. By tomorrow, pick up my baby, go on to Albuquerque. Oh, this is Gilders-Lee. We just had a wire saying the Gilders-Lee can't go to Summerfield for weeks. That's correct. Oh, and I can't be my little girl with those ten-time Summerfield relatives. And why not play? Well, I'm almost tempted. Oh, no, no, no. Mr. New Ellen, I've got an idea. Oh, no. When you get an idea in your head and a work in your eye, you better work in this mountain. But who's this for who, well, and we do this to play nice made again to that with a wad of yours, not for all the kangaroos in our squirrelier. But Mr. New Ellen, as my secretary, it's your job to go where I send you. Oh, but Mrs. Gilders-Lee, I'm a man with similar pack of do-ohs. It's enough to make it one man quiet. No, I won't do it. I won't go. Absolutely no. Another war bulletin, New York, reports received by the Associated Press from Europe tonight, said the German army was preparing an effort to take both Moscow and Leningrad and recapture Rostock within two weeks I didn't want to send your telegram. What telegram? The one you sent back in your mother to rescue you from Blackmore and C. Gilders-Lee. I never sent any such message. Now you can go right back and tell her so. This is just another twist. Now I got a taxi waiting outside so you hurry and pack your luggage. I was one, two, wait. Hi, Lucifer. You wait here. I'll be right back. Oh, Cousins of Markers. Yes. There's this handyman in the living room. He says he's my mother's secretary and he wants you to go away with him. But I never saw him before in my life. What? Are you sure? Oh, yes. And he talks in the most suspicious way. My dear. My dear. You can stay here and I'll investigate that. Don't get excited. Take it easy. Keep calm. Keep calm. Keep calm. Good day, sir. What did you want? My name is Lucifer Willowen. I came to take Barbara Han away. Oh, you did. Yep. I'm a mother's secretary. You want me to bring her to Amawillo? Amawillo. I bought Octavia with passing through here in Amawillo. Well, it's the first time I've heard of that. Well, it's the first time you've heard of it. Yeah. Did you get a telegram saying I was going to a life today? No, I didn't, Mr. Willowen. Oh, excuse me. Uh, the name is Willowen, not Willowen, dude. Oh, dear, I wish this job was over already. I don't like it, neither do I. Look, I'll come right out and tell you, if this little black gives me a whackle away. Yeah. Oh. Hehehehehe. Yeah. Yeah. You are, right? Yeah. Well, Mr. Willowen, if you don't mind, I'd like to have you step right in here. A joy, but don't look like a man. In you go! Oh! You look for that! I'll hold you for a while. You've been kidding ever? I'll get you the police. By George, that's who I will get. Oh, who can that be? Oh, Telegram? Thank you, boy. Oh, not like this. Do Rock, Morton, P. Gilda's leave? Unable to pick up Barbara and myself? Sending secretary, Mr. Llewell... Octavia. Oh, my goodness, this explains everything. Let me out of here! Come on, you scum! Let me out of here! Oh! Hey, coming, Mr. Willowen, it's all in the state, sir. What up, you doggie, now calm down, take it easy, Mr. Llewell. What? It's all in the state. Oh, it is? Yes, until I got this telegram from Octavia, I thought you were the kidnapper. What? Whatever gave you that, he wanted you to send questions. Beautiful. Barbara Ann, she said she'd never seen you before. That settles it, I'm full. Why we dying? Why we fire? Yeah, well, I don't blame you. Of course, you see the I hope I never see another kill this wave as long as I breath.

We return you now to Hollywood. What's this? Whoopie! Hooray! Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! What is it? Yeah, tell us. Cousin Octavia is flying to Atlantic City and her plane stops at the airport five minutes this afternoon. She wants them to have Barbara Ann there Oh, Barbara Ann! Yes, Barbara Ann! Where are you, Barbara Ann? Yes, Uncle Boss. I guess we're all ready to go to the airport. I don't want to go. Oh, you're not going, eh? Yes, you are, young deer. We've got plenty of time. Hold on before that plane arrives. We're going to be on the safe side and get there early. No. I want to stay here. I'll be good. Yes, well, I guess I'll have to pick you up then. Oh. Excuse me a moment, Barbara Ann. Hello? It's Brock Martin. Yes? This is Octavia. Oh, hello, Octavia. Where about you calling from? From the airport. Why aren't you down here? It's the airport. What are you talking about? Your plane isn't due until 4.35. It's after 4.35 now. It's almost 4.40. What's the matter? Did you get my telegram? Why haven't you got Barbara Ann down here to go on the plane? Oh, my goodness. Our clock's an hour slow. Let's wait there, Octavia. We'll be right down. I can't. The plane is ready to take off. I got a lecture at 90 cities tonight. Oh, oh, my goodness. They're calling for me. When did you come back? In another two weeks. Goodbye. Oh, I've got a headache. What happened, little morse? Our clock was an hour slow. Somebody's been fooling around with our clock. And I think I know who it was. No. No, not me, Uncle Morse. I didn't do it. This time you're going to get what's coming to you, young lady. You come here. No, you wouldn't dare. Oh, no. I want you to know this is going to hurt you a lot more than it hurt me. Hail and my love. It's time to tell them all. Hey, young lady, that'll teach you the monkey with pot. Oh, by the way, Uncle Morse, Pablo and Denny George want to remember who you are. What? Oh, my goodness, it was. Leroy, why didn't you stop me? Well, Uncle Morse, it's a funny turn, but I didn't think of it till after you were finished. You're a bright boy. The great Gelder slave will be with us again in a few minutes. But right now, I think you'll agree that there's one sure way to find out if you like something. You can try it yourself. So I want to suggest a little experiment. One that may mean a lot to you and the high-priced days ahead. Tomorrow, get a pound or two of parquet margarine, the delicious modern margarine made by crafts. Take it home and serve it at the table. Use it for baking and pan frying. Yes, use parquet margarine in every way, and I think you'll be amazed at how downright good a modern margarine can be. You see, parquet margarine is no ordinary margarine. Parquet margarine is the result of perhaps long experience in making quality food. Yes, taste parquet margarine once and you'll know the difference. Parquet's delicate appetizing flavor is sure to satisfy.
