"Gracie Runs for President" is a comedic radio play from the "Burns & Allen" show, which aired on February 28, 1940. The episode features Gracie Allen announcing her candidacy for President of the United States, much to the disbelief and sarcasm of her husband and straight man, George Burns. The play humorously explores Gracie's whimsical and nonsensical approach to politics, including her interactions with the regulars in this 1940 production such as Frank Parker, the featured singer on the program, Ray Noble , the orchestra leader who originally heralded from Brighton, Sussex in England and Turman Bradley the announcer. Gracie's campaign is filled with humorous misunderstandings and playful banter, highlighting her daffy personality. The episode refers to Hinds Honey and Almond Cream, the advertisers for the program. The play ends with Gracie confidently looking forward to her imagined presidency, despite the chaos and hilarity that ensues throughout the broadcast. This Naples Players Radio Theatre production features the vocal talents of: Janina Birtolo as Gracie Allen, Michael Troop as George Burns, and Nathan Eichhorn and Gregg Birr doing the vocal characteristics of Truman, Ray Noble, Frank, Gene, Bubbles and the reporters. This audio file was recorded, mixed and mastered by Michael Troop.
