The bakers of Weber's Bread present your all star western theater. From Hollywood comes your all star western fare. Starring America's great western singers, boy willing, and the riders of the purple stage. Our guest today is Columbia Pictures' cowboy singing star, Kim Curtis.

In the dive language of today, the valve cowboy is a cowpoke who is on the beam, a puncher who is hip to what's new and solid in whatever he does. In the old days, such a cowboy was merely referred to as a top hand. It just goes to show that it doesn't make much difference what kind of language is used as long as the quality is there. A good cowboy is a good cowboy in any language. Today, it's the same with Weber's bread. Weber's bread is good bread no matter how you ask your grocer for it. You can tell him you want a loaf of Weber's bread, or you can ask for a loaf of the bread that comes in the famous blue gingham wrapper. He'll know what you mean.
And remember, for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, Weber's is the bread that adds the extra enjoyment to every meal. Buy a loaf of Weber's bread next time you go shopping.

And now to our western drama for today entitled The Vowel Cowboy, starring Ken Curtis with Monty Montana, boy willing, Al Floyd, Jimmy Dean, Johnny Paul, Joe Forte, and Helen The Bar Four Ranch owned and operated by old Tom Kilgore, well, it's just like any other cattle ranch. It has cattle, horses, corrals, stables, and everything else that goes to make a well equipped ranch. It has cowhands too, but that's where the hitch comes in. There's such an unusual variety of hard help that it keeps the old man in one sweat after another. For example, there's four willing. Give him a guitar, a pencil, and paper, and he'll write songs till the cows come home. He's always making up rhymes.
[00:04:57] Unknown:
Let's see now. There's, moon, June, soon, too soon, make your room.
[00:05:05] Unknown:
I should finish this by tomorrow noon. And then there's Marty who spends most of his time practicing cowboy yell. Please go. Yeah. Then there's Al. He's always telling funny jokes. And then he says to him, who's that lady I saw you eating with? And, and he says, that wasn't an old lady I was eating with. That was my knife. And Jimmy is the one that spends every spare moment playing gin rummy with himself. Let's see. Lost again. That means I owe myself a hundred and $12.70. Hey. That's pretty good profit for a loser. Then there's Johnny. Does nothing but practice on that fool fiddle. But the one that's got everybody's senses in an uproar is Ken. Ken has only been on the ranch a month or two now, but from his actions, he no doubt comes from the far, far West, West Glendale.
At any rate, Ken is a cowboy cat that last owns a groovy lingo of the more mellow rooney advocates of the reenie rooty. In other words, he might be called a vowed cowboy. At the moment, the entire gang of ranch hands has the owner, Tom Kilgore, in an uproar Hello, boys. I've had all this foolishness. I'm gonna stand around the French. Quiet, sir. Now, boss, you're just getting yourself all worked up over nothing. Yeah. Hey. You know, you remind me of a feller who walked into a little bit. Another one of those unfunny jokes of yours, I'll prove it to Jarrett. Oh, this is a good no, boss. The fella walks into the saloon. He says, give me a drink. Yes. Well, the barkeep serves him a glass of water. He takes up it and says, what is this stuff? Well, the barkeep says, that's water. Yeah. The drunk says, something new, Well, you can take my word for it. It'll never sound. It sinks.
I wish you guys would be quiet. I'm trying to make up a rhyme and I can't sing. Oh, so the poet can't sing. What are you writing now? Your last will and testimony and rhyme? Nope. But say, that would be a clever idea. Yeah. Listen to this.

Paul didn't raise no corn last year. Paul raised nothing to sell. Paul didn't raise no beans at all. He was in the city raising Citizen?
[00:07:19] Unknown:
Well, he's had a lot of fun. No one but a moron would write that. Oh, woah. Woah. Woah. Woah. You ought to be back in the fourth grade of school. Never got that born too. That's easy to believe. But I was the only boy in the third grade that should vote. Why don't stop playing that infernal fiddle? Oh, boy. Let me play this one scene. Yeah. Let's have some music, Johnny. Yeah. I know. I know. I know. What can you play besides nothing? It's a brand new one, boss. It'll be a thick hit. Here? Good for you, Johnny. What's the name of it? It's called Octasaur Chapel Mission. Now that's what I call real music, a hillbilly starter.
Hiya, Gates. And what's jumping in the skillet beside three? Well, howdy, Ken. When you walked in, I was about to enjoy some good music. If you think that's square fare's music, then your clock needs winders. And what's wrong with my music? You're out of meters, Peter. Well, then maybe you could do better. Match, Mac. I'm a fiddling vulture with musical culture. I'm known as the Toscanini of Tennessee. Here, toss me that cigar box with the bailing wire and horse hair handle, and I'll give the Arkansas traveler a duty ride on cloud 13. Here you are again. Now let's have something. Why don't you catch light onto that squeeze box there, and we'll take off like Sally ran. Everybody stand back or you might get some of it on you.
Ken, I wanna add it to you. I've heard fiddle plays in my day, but that was about the best I ever heard in all my life. I used to get a load of my fiddle plan after I've had a few blocks of sense then. Kindly cork sideways. I've had about all this I can send. I'm going to bed, and good night. Good night.
[00:10:17] Unknown:
You know, the boss must have had some. He's alright. Just a shade square. He's rusty. Ken, I'm trying to write him his song. Maybe you can help me. Jackson,
[00:10:25] Unknown:
your eyeballs are now blinking at a songwriter that is nothing short of terrific. What did you ever write? I wrote Stardust by Hoagy Carmichael, Blue Skies by Irving Berlin, San Antonio Reenie by Bob Wills. But my newest song is the successor to Cement Mixer Putty Putty by Slim Gill. And what do you call it? Pinball Machine, Chozy Chozy by Martin Tilgh. Oh, no. A mellow little ditty I whipped up in one of my relaxing moments. Someone's at the door. Get it, Johnny. Hey. Maybe that's Monty. He's running late tonight. Hello, Monty. Come on in. Hi, old silverware.
Come in, Monty. How are you? Hiya, Jackson. What's perfect, Well, I've been over to Lem Wigginton's house learning some new cowboy yells. Look, Marty. I don't dig it. Why all the boomy routine with a cowboy yell? Oh, I don't know. I just like to yell, I guess. Now look, Jackson. That doesn't make sense. You're liable to rip your radar. Come on now. What are you doing? Well, listen, Ken. There's no particular reason. Fair deal, McNeil, but, it don't gel. There's got to be a reason for it when a grown up man is hip to yell and his cock and taking head on. Now look, Ken. Some people like to ride horses and some like to play the fiddle. Then there's some like to write poetry, but me, I like to parlor. That money had better come down out of the stratosphere. He's gonna drift around up there and stomp his toe on an angel. That money's a great boy. Oh, he's sharp as a price set on cactus plan alright. Hey, boy. How about making with the music? That's a good idea provided you do the singing. Then let's go. Here's a musical cousin to the pickle in the middle with the mustard on top called Rudy Toots Galoot.
I am a Rudy Toot and I saluting Rudy Toots Galoot. I rant and rare and roar and tear and ride and rope and shoot. The women cry when I ride by, but I don't give a hoot. I'm a rudy tootin', high polluting, rudy tootin', galoot. I tell them I'm ill, and then I'll leave them all alone. From sunny San Antonio to Butte. Hey. I'm a quirky sportin', real rip sortin', sorta kinda brute. Just a rooted toot and high buffalo, For western music, boys, that's as solid as a sick kitten on a warm brick. I mean to say. Hey. Did I ever tell you fellas the one about the boy who took his gal out riding in his car and the car went out of gas? Don't believe he did. How's he go? It don't go. You have to push it. Well, I wonder who that can be. Answer the door, Johnny. It ain't said nothing. Boy, boy, are you square. Get me a cigar box and I'll cut your hair. Never mind. Okay.

Solid Sam, but for a good night, let's sing one of those mellow little lullabies like Yip Yip the Hootie. No, no, wait a minute, Kim. Why don't you come over onto our side of the corral and sing that grand cowboy song, Cowboy Serenade? Then get ready to commence to begin. Hand me that guitar, Floyd. Here you are.

Here you are, and if that don't win the 5,000 nothing will. Let me see what we got here. Way down along the Alamo lived a boy of old San Antonio who used to ride the trail under the stars. Are you kidding with this stuff? Well, those are good lyrics. What are you talking about? Luxon. This song is dead. It ain't here. You're not with it. Benny Dorothy has a swing band. He wants something goofy. No. Mooney. Then start coming up with something. Okay, McVeigh. Now listen to this.
Way down along the Alamo lived a devout cowboy that's a real hip job. Now let's see. Oh, yeah. I got it. He used to hit the trail with a beat, and what he was singing to that hooping meet was strictly a diller, a hillbilly killer from old Amarillo. So by golly, Ken, that's pretty good. Pretty good? Why, that's as hip as a drip with a whip. Come down over that cloud. Let's finish this epic. Now look. From here on in, we've got a chance. This is Benny Dorsey, ladies and gentlemen, speaking to you from Hollywood. Tonight, we're concluding our big $5,000 Western songwriting contest, and we have the winners here to sing it for you. The song selected was written by some singing cowboys of the bar four ranch, boy Willing and Kim Curtis, and they're gonna join with the writers of the Purple Sage in the band to sing their $5,000 song, which they call the vowels cowboys. Sing it, boy.
[00:24:42] Unknown:

[00:26:14] Unknown:
I think, Tim Curtis will be back with you folks in a few moments.
[00:26:24] Unknown:
Well, the doings that we've just heard at the Bar four Ranch go to show that you can't always tell. It looks like old Tom Kilgore had a peculiar assortment of cowpunchers to help him run his ranch. But when the chips were down, the boys came through. Today, Weber's bread comes through too. Weber's bread is well mixed and well baked. It has a firm, even texture and a delicious flavor that make it an enjoyable part of every meal. Toast for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch boxes, and when served with more elaborate meals, Weber's bread is always good bread. Buy Weber's bread. You'll find it on your grocery shelves in the famous blue gingham wrapper, and you'll like it.
[00:27:14] Unknown:
And now here comes Ford Willing back to the microphone with today's guest, Ken Curtis. Well, Ken, it's been real nice having you with us on our all star Western Theater again today.

Come in, Monty. How are you? Hiya, Jackson. What's perfect, Well, I've been over to Lem Wigginton's house learning some new cowboy yells. Look, Marty. I don't dig it. Why all the boomy routine with a cowboy yell? Oh, I don't know. I just like to yell, I guess. Now look, Jackson. That doesn't make sense. You're liable to rip your radar. Come on now. What are you doing? Well, listen, Ken. There's no particular reason. Fair deal, McNeil, but, it don't gel. There's got to be a reason for it when a grown up man is hip to yell and his cock and taking head on. Now look, Ken. Some people like to ride horses and some like to play the fiddle. Then there's some like to write poetry, but me, I like to parlor. That money had better come down out of the stratosphere. He's gonna drift around up there and stomp his toe on an angel. That money's a great boy. Oh, he's sharp as a price set on cactus plan alright. Hey, boy. How about making with the music? That's a good idea provided you do the singing. Then let's go. Here's a musical cousin to the pickle in the middle with the mustard on top called Rudy Toots Galoot.
I am a Rudy Toot and I saluting Rudy Toots Galoot. I rant and rare and roar and tear and ride and rope and shoot. The women cry when I ride by, but I don't give a hoot. I'm a rudy tootin', high polluting, rudy tootin', galoot. I tell them I'm ill, and then I'll leave them all alone. From sunny San Antonio to Butte. Hey. I'm a quirky sportin', real rip sortin', sorta kinda brute. Just a rooted toot and high buffalo, For western music, boys, that's as solid as a sick kitten on a warm brick. I mean to say. Hey. Did I ever tell you fellas the one about the boy who took his gal out riding in his car and the car went out of gas? Don't believe he did. How's he go? It don't go. You have to push it. Well, I wonder who that can be. Answer the door, Johnny. It ain't said nothing. Boy, boy, are you square. Get me a cigar box and I'll cut your hair. Never mind. Okay.

[00:16:20] Unknown:
Here's a little song special for you, Clementine, when the bloom is on the stage.
[00:16:28] Unknown:
To most folks, there's a spot that lives forever. Deep down within their fond memories. No. I have been a rover. I have never found any place that I had rather be.
[00:17:48] Unknown:
I must run him on now. My husband will be warned about me. Her spouse is in the house. Your what? My husband. You must need him sometime.

Oh, so terrible, Stormy. I want a dirty rain. Rain. Goodbye, boy.
[00:18:21] Unknown:
You know, we'd get a new neighbor like her and she has to be married. Hey, boys. We've gotta bring Marty around. Yeah. Here, I'll throw this bucket of water on him. Keep coming through now. How you feeling, Monty? Everything's old booty, Muscooty. Well, what do you know? He's hip. He's bowed. Come on, Ken. Leave me that flick kick. She went home to her husband, Monty. Oh, that's a shame. And she was so CAR. Hey, Marty. Look. I don't latch on. What is CAR? Dude and rugged. Yeah. Boy, do you act like a square? Get a cigar box, and I'll give you a haircut. A blood brother. This is gonna stay. Hey. Hey, boys. Look what I just read in the paper here. Oh, I didn't even know you could read. I'll get all your gin rummy game there, man. Look. It says right here, it says Benny Dorsey, the famous orchestra leader, is gonna give $5,000 for the best western song. Let me see that.
Well, what do you know about that? This is for us. Let me see that paper here. $5. What a mess of lettuce. Well, come on, boys. Let's get busy. Oh, I'd rather play gin running myself. I can make more money. Oh, I'm gonna send in gas as joke editors and make my pile out of way. Yep. So what are you gonna do, Monty? Just holler that off.
[00:19:39] Unknown:
And that leaves the test, boy. Then let's get a good night's sleep and start writing the first thing in the morning. Solid Sam, but for a good night, let's sing one of those mellow little lullabies like Yip Yip the Hootie. No, no, wait a minute, Kim. Why don't you come over onto our side of the corral and sing that grand cowboy song, Cowboy Serenade? Then get ready to commence to begin. Hand me that guitar, Floyd. Here you are.
[00:20:09] Unknown:
While I'm rolling
[00:20:12] Unknown:
my last cigarette, sing that cowboy song I never will forget. Yippee ki. The sun's almost set, and I'm rolling my last cigarette through the safe brush when evening
[00:22:51] Unknown:
Oh, man. My night's sleep. Well, I'm ready, Gabe. Let's ride us off. I've been up riding for hours. I got you half finished now. Well, Rudy, Let me give it the old eyeball. Here you are, and if that don't win the 5,000 nothing will. Let me see what we got here. Way down along the Alamo lived a boy of old San Antonio who used to ride the trail under the stars. Are you kidding with this stuff? Well, those are good lyrics. What are you talking about? Luxon. This song is dead. It ain't here. You're not with it. Benny Dorothy has a swing band. He wants something goofy. No. Mooney. Then start coming up with something. Okay, McVeigh. Now listen to this.
Way down along the Alamo lived a devout cowboy that's a real hip job. Now let's see. Oh, yeah. I got it. He used to hit the trail with a beat, and what he was singing to that hooping meet was strictly a diller, a hillbilly killer from old Amarillo. So by golly, Ken, that's pretty good. Pretty good? Why, that's as hip as a drip with a whip. Come down over that cloud. Let's finish this epic. Now look. From here on in, we've got a chance. This is Benny Dorsey, ladies and gentlemen, speaking to you from Hollywood. Tonight, we're concluding our big $5,000 Western songwriting contest, and we have the winners here to sing it for you. The song selected was written by some singing cowboys of the bar four ranch, boy Willing and Kim Curtis, and they're gonna join with the writers of the Purple Sage in the band to sing their $5,000 song, which they call the vowels cowboys. Sing it, boy.
[00:24:42] Unknown:
Way down along the Alamo, lived about Carmel, just a real hip joke. He used to hit the trail with a beat. And what he would
[00:26:14] Unknown:
I think, Tim Curtis will be back with you folks in a few moments.
[00:26:24] Unknown:
Well, the doings that we've just heard at the Bar four Ranch go to show that you can't always tell. It looks like old Tom Kilgore had a peculiar assortment of cowpunchers to help him run his ranch. But when the chips were down, the boys came through. Today, Weber's bread comes through too. Weber's bread is well mixed and well baked. It has a firm, even texture and a delicious flavor that make it an enjoyable part of every meal. Toast for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch boxes, and when served with more elaborate meals, Weber's bread is always good bread. Buy Weber's bread. You'll find it on your grocery shelves in the famous blue gingham wrapper, and you'll like it.
[00:27:14] Unknown:
And now here comes Ford Willing back to the microphone with today's guest, Ken Curtis. Well, Ken, it's been real nice having you with us on our all star Western Theater again today. Well, thank you, Foy. With all the overseas work I've done with you riders of the Purple Sage and Cottonseed Clark, it just naturally makes me feel at home to be here. Now tell us, what is the ladies ten thirty six girl with Columbia Studios? Well, my newest release, boy, is Singing on the Trail. I hope some of our listeners will drop by to see it sometime. I know they'll do just that, Ken. Again, it's been real nice having you here. Well, I hope you'll invite me back soon. So long, everybody. So long for you, Jim Kirby.
