Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address – (as spoken by Sam I.
Slade):
Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth
on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the
proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great
civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so
dedicated can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war.
We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting-place
for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is
altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger
sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this
ground. The brave men, living and dead who struggled here have consecrated
it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note
nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did
here. It is for us the living rather to be dedicated here to the
unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.
It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining
before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to
that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that
we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that
this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom, and that
government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish
from the earth. |

WHICH DO YOU PREFER - 5058 with an announcement: (S) Ladies and gentlemen; we now bring you a broadcast by remote control of a Rudy Vallee orchestra, under the direction of Richard Himber, emanating from one of the smarter debutante parties of the season. As we bring the microphone closer to the orchestra, you will hear that very delectable tune: "Dancing on the Ceiling". > Orchestra plays, then a vocalist who IS NOT Rudy Vallee sings a chorus. There is applause, then a woman's voice says: < "Mr. Himber, will you play something from George Gershwin's new show?" > Himber replies: < "Why, with the greatest of pleasure!" > The band plays "Of Thee I Sing" and the same vocalist sings. |
||||
| This is a 9" record. In the announcement the orchestra is mentioned as < a Rudy Vallee orchestra, >. In those days several orchestras around New York were paying Rudy Vallee for the use of his name. | ||||
