go hey I wonder where Rudy is who cares

he's such a bum sax play he's no Russ

any Ho Chi if he could only play like he

can sing here he comes now if we were

paying salaries I'd be tempted to docq

I'm sorry but I was waiting for this to

arrive look it's a brand new gold-plated

super toned deluxe Ted grant saxophone

listen to these low notes

sounds like he's given himself a bird

that bird reminds me of Fritz Kreisler.

Questers no saxophone player neither is

we've wasted enough time already and

let's play it slowly so we can hear

those low notes.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

How'd you like that it was great wasn't

it boys

well I've certainly got a hand it to you

Rudy but where did you learn to play the

saxophone like that yeah you weren't

playing like that six months ago I got

it from studying with a greatest

saxophone player of all time from Ted

grant you mean that that mail-order guy

sure why he discovered been burning Ted

Lewis I read all about it in his ads do

you believe everything you read never

mind

he's a remarkable man why it's his

influence that made me practice hours

every day he's a great guy you'll like

why say he's got one of the biggest band

organizations in the country and if we

could only hook up with his outfit ah do

you mean to say a man like Ted grant

would be interested in a small-town

outfit like this why not why he's almost

a personal friend of mine

just see the way he writes to me read

that last paragraph and in concluding

this course let me tell you that at all

times I shall follow your work as my

pupil with heartfelt interest and hope

that you will bring your problems of the

future to me as an old friend cordially

Ted grant imagine it following the work

of all his pupils like that and that is

normal read this

[Applause]

Mr. grant has rented a home in the smart

summer resort of long port Long Island

where hereafter he will spend his idle

hours scanning the work of his pupils as

received by mail in the hope of finding

promising material for the many

profitable positions awaiting the

graduates of the Ted grant

correspondence method well it sounds all

right but how are we going to get to him

I have it we'll jump a train to Long.

Point go right out there and see him

personally and get thrown out or he

wouldn't treat a graduate of the

correspondence course that way why not

leave it to me as leader I know the man

will take our instruments our clothes

we'll go out there and play for him and

I know he'll sign us right up

silly girl now listen Ted about next

week's work work say give me a rest with

you're wasting your talents managing me

you ought to be managing a war on our

sea here Ted you have been the right to

talk to me like that

well you don't appreciate the analogy

that I'm giving you doubling in two

shows with your radio date in your

nightclub work and now the best

money-making proposition that we've had

yet a correspondent School of Music yeah

and running me ragged with it me the

greatest living bandleader the man who

made America jazz minded men discovered

been Bernie Ted Lewis the six Brown.

Brothers you left our Sousa well I'm too

tired to think why should a man of my

ability have to remember who we

discovered no reason at all

so you put out a lot of newspaper

publicity about this long port house

that's caused me more no incident 24

hours not getting the whole season in

town phone calls and telegrams from not

amateurs in every part of the country

yeah but don't you see that's

advertising the Correspondence School of.

Music and you get 10% of the returns on

that and a hundred percent of the

troubles I wish I'd never let my name to

it since I moved in yes tea I'll bet I

answered that phone

40 times before I had the service cut

off they even come in person yeah but

listen there's only one done that he's

equal to 40 himself well just keep on

refusing to see him he'll wear himself

out

and these people next door this mrs.

Whitehall I suppose she wear herself out

yeah but she hasn't called in person no

but she called up three times and sent

two messages will I play their musical

tonight out of neighborliness imagine me

at a hick musical what's that

yogi I'll get it tell him I'm in bed

with a small Park mr. Grin know what the

blazes you don't know me mr. grinds oh

yes I do

you're the guy I've refused to see five

times already today right now we'll make

it an even half-dozen but I want you to

listen to me that is too uh now wait a

minute kid you can't expect mr. Grant to

match his time it's worth a thousand

bucks an hour against yours is worth

probably two bits a month but mr. Grant

there's one artist to another now listen
