Gracie Allen Reporting

Goodness me, it used to be every time you went to the newsreels, you saw either a ski-jumping contest or a cat show at Madison Square Garden.
Now, every week, they have Gen. MacArthur wading ashore on a new island which is much better, believe me. It seems he always moves onto a new island before I learn to pronounce the name of the preceding one, but he’s now at a place called Zamboanga, which I can say, because we used to sing about the “Monkeys Have No Tails in Zamboanga.” Only now, with the Nips being chased out the song can go, “Zamboanga Doesn’t Have the Monkeys Without Tails Anymore.”
Gen. MacArthur has put so many sons of Nippon to sleep, the Japanese call him “the American Sandman.”
