00:00One of England's finest and foremost comedians.
00:03We're very happy to have him with us.
00:05He's just finished his maiden debut here in America
00:08at the Roxy Theater in New York City.
00:11So let's show him what Milwaukee thinks of Lord Buckley.
00:15How about that, huh?
00:16Lord Buckley!
00:26Hey, good afternoon, subjects.
00:32Ladies and gentlemen,
00:35I should give you a very short impression
00:37of a truly superb American.
00:44Yes, this gentleman's name is Mr. Lewis Armstrong
00:49and the title of the number
00:51I can't give you anything but love, baby.
00:58I can't give you anything but love,
01:01you little baby.
01:03It's the only thing.
01:06Too much of a mom's job.
01:09Beam your dreams, scheme your scheme.
01:12There come a day that you'll find some happiness.
01:16And I guess the crazy little day.
01:18Boo-gee-boo-gee-boo-gee-blind-bosses.
01:20Love to see, looking swell.
01:23My baby.
01:25Diamond-bush, this world's good, never sound.
01:29Oh, my mom, my friend.
01:30Till the lucky day, you know, don't when.
01:34I'll be-do-gee-diam-bosses.
01:36I can't give you anything but
01:39boo-gee-bee-bee-boo-gee-bosses.
01:49Have you ever seen them swoop boys around, have you?
01:54Anywhere, come on?
01:56Ladies and gentlemen,
01:57we shall now take a little tour.
02:00Can't, what a large-ass trail.
02:06We shall take a little
02:08a little tour of the spontaneous realm of humor using as a momentum a very new and difficult art
02:18called Mars Pantimimi. Now, in order to create this high fror in artistic projection,
02:31are you there? Good. I will select, select from the audience, yes, four members of either gender to assist.
02:48If you are so unfortunate as to be asked, you will of course cap at once. Yes, and no
03:00dilly-dally. Are you there? Well, I've been telling you what is what. You delightful ladies and gentlemen
03:08have been dying for a cigarette, haven't you? So far, my little nicotine fiends, only the king smokes here.
03:29Well, His Royal Highness, Lord Elliot, and the royal lads will play as part of the American
03:33Charles.
03:34Let's go.
03:55Let's go.
03:56Let's go.
03:57Let's go.
04:02Let's go.
04:06Let's go.
04:15Let's go.
04:29Let's go.
04:31Let's go.
04:33Let's go.
04:33Let's go.
04:33Let's go.
04:34Let's go.
04:34Let's go.
04:35Let's go.

04:39Let's go.
04:42Let's go.
04:43Let's go.
04:44Let's go.
06:31Judge Goldberg, he likes to be be very good.
07:17Mark Matthews will take the speaking stutter.
07:20Hurry on, Doctor.
07:29And you, my little porcupine.
07:40Time marches on.
08:11Bobbie, Bobbie, Bobbie, Bobbie, Bobbie, stop!
08:14Ladies and gentlemen, through the lovely young lady and the three gentlemen seated on the chairs,
08:21through these four charming people, I will project four, hold your head up, Harry, four different and distinct voices.
08:32Each and every one of them will be given an individual voice to pantomime.
08:39They themselves will not say word one.
08:45But when they hear the voice a lotter to them coming to the microphone, they will move their lips, eyebrows,
08:56nose, facial contours,
09:01and hope not, hold your head up, Harry, in a pantomimic manner, thereby simulating actual speech.
09:11Now, Harry here will have the voice of Andy, the structure of Amos and Andy, a very deep voice.
09:15When you hear that voice come to the microphone, I want you to synchronize and move your lips to the
09:18sound of that voice,
09:20beginning when it begins, quitting when it quits, and the results pantomimically should be this.
09:24Uh, well, it looked like everything going to be all right, don't worry about a thing, everything will find a
09:30dent.
09:31Very good, Harry, but keep your head up so that people can see.
09:33Number two is out at Fognap here, ladies and gentlemen, Dr. Fognap, the well-known assistant dog catcher of the
09:39village.
09:40Fognap, hold your head up, Foggy.
09:43Dr. Fognap will have the voice a better call for the facial type when it hits.
09:46Well, my, my dear boy, my dear boy, I dare say we'll figure the matter out one way or the
09:52other.
09:53By gab-fognap, you're in there like a mink.
09:55Her Highness the Crean will have the voice of Madame Crean, a very high type of voice.
09:59When it hits the beam, she will, ah, throw your balls on the times of how I feel about the
10:03situation.
10:03Very good, angel.
10:05Number three, my dear, will have the voice of Amos, whilst we type when it hits.
10:08Well, Jack, you've got to stay on the track, you ain't never going to get back.
10:11Solid Mac.
10:12Now we are going to play Little Theatre.
10:18Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
10:22To the courtesy of America, the first television broadcast by Amos and Andy.
10:27The time, the summertime, the beautiful, warm, golden summertime of Southern California.
10:36They are seated in a lovely Spanish garden in the fabulous San Fernando Valley.
10:41And it's sundown on the moon.
10:44Good heavens.
10:47That beautiful Southern California moonlight.
10:50Hold your head up, Harry.
10:53Shining right down in their eyes.
10:55Serenaded by the night birds, ladies and gentlemen.
10:59Oh, the beautiful sounds of the birds in the evening.
11:02Kindly leave that thing of what's supposed to do.
11:05They are very relaxed.
11:07They've had a double shot of tequila apiece, with the exception of the duo,
11:10who's knocked themselves out on a double seven up.
11:13And a very new California drink called a Benzedrine Float.
11:16They are looking up into the moonlight, and Andrew is talking.
11:20You know, it makes me so mad when the people talk about old Harry Truman.
11:26I think old smiling hair is all right. I really do.
11:29What makes you think that, my dear Andy? Speak right up.
11:33Well, Forknapp, to tell you the truth.
11:35Old Harry Truman, everybody say he was going back up and back up and back up from them Ruskies.
11:43There wasn't no place to back up to.
11:45Well, they got a little surprise there in Korea, no question about that.
11:49Plus, my boy, old General Douglas MacArthur was over there,
11:53let go of that left hook and hung it right up.
11:55Yeah, you got something there.
11:58Well, I'll say we all Americans.
12:01Everybody stay on the beam, we can't do nothing but the wind.
12:04Baby, you ride on the beam with that kind of drive, that's for sure.
12:08There ain't nothing I like better than a hip chick.
12:10Down hip, you're hip too, Daddy. Hip, hip.
12:13All right.
12:15Hold your hand up, baby.
12:19Uh, you see, this here age here, this ain't like any other age.
12:24Uh, this is the age of the anatomy bomb.
12:28It ain't no firecracker, my boy, I'll tell you that much right now.
12:31Well, they're talking about the A-bomb and the Z-bomb and this here bomb and that there bomb.
12:35Oh, I'm sick and tired of them cats talking about bombs.
12:38Baby, I swear to goodness, I'll fall more in love with you every minute.
12:42I'm hip, Daddy.
12:44I'm hip, you're hip.
12:45I'm hip, you're hip.
12:46I'm hip.
12:47I'm hip, you're hip.
12:48I'm hip.
12:48I'm hip, you're hip.
12:49I'm hip, you're hip.
12:49Hip, hip.
12:49All right.
12:54Uh, uh, by the way, Crawfish, what's on your mind now, my laddie buck, my dear boy, my good boy?
13:03Uh, how you been a-feeling since you've been on the wagon?
13:08Well, to tell you, the truth, my lad, I've been feeling much better.
13:11Ah, is it true, Crawfish, that you don't take one little drink anymore?
13:16No, my dear girl, I never touch it anymore.
13:19But I can well remember the time when I would wake up in the morning with a horrible hangover, have
13:27a cup of coffee.
13:33Then, like a fool, I would try a Coca-Cola.
13:40Then, like a sucker, I would light a cigarette.
13:53Uh, I thought for a minute you were going to take off there, Crawfish, to tell you the truth.
13:58Well, if I hadn't had my flaps down, I'd have made it.
14:00Yeah.
14:02Well, we is going to relax and enjoy this here beautiful moonlight night.

14:18Sugar, you ain't got a warrior in the world.
14:22How come is that, you good-looking rascal?
14:24Because you were sitting beside the greatest lover in the new United States of America.
14:30Is that the truth?
14:32That's what the man said, babe.
14:34Yes.
14:36Now I'm going to give you the most sensational, super-colossal kiss
14:41that you've ever received in your born days.
14:45Meaning to say, just like they do in the movies, Daddy.
14:48That's what I said, sugar face.
14:51Well, come on, Daddy.
