George Jean Nathan, Julie Haydon Nathan ‎– George Jean Nathan's The New American Credo Read By Julie Haydon Nathan

Comes with a transcription of all the spoken text. the numbers on the sleeve cover correspond to the passage numbers in the 8 page booklet which is inside as well as on the record labels. Mine had 2 booklets inside in case 2 people want to read along. The recording consists mainly of a woman's voice reading about such things as...

1 - That elephant tusks, swamp moss and specimens of old arrow-heads periodically brought back by explorers from the African jungle are of great value in adding to the store of human knowledge.

2 - That rats and mice subsist entirely on cheese, and that, while such exotic brands as Camembert, Gryuere, and Port Du Salut are not especially to their taste, American cheese invariably fetches them.

13 - That food served at banquets is exceedingly hard on the stomach.

18 - That when a woman wishes to touch her husband for anything she always prefaces her request with a kiss and a caress.

19 - That a great many fires are caused annually by mice playing with matches.

20 - That Maude Adams remembered the name of every actor and actress who ever played in one of her companies and that, if she met a stagehand who served for one night in Altoona, Penn., in 1890, she could greet him by his Christian name and readily rattle off the names of all his children.
