Say hello, Gracie!
More intelligent observations from genius Gracie.
A famous vaudeville sketch focuses on the Broken Arms Hotel where the clerk has a wisecrack for every guest inquiry. Gracie Allen is the cigarette girl who does impressions of stars that were so good that you can't even guess who they are. That's after George Burns deals with clerk Chester Clute who doesn't even know the name of the hotel he works in. The Burns and Allen sketches are beyond description, with a uniquely ingenious way of making no sense yet seemingly filled with an unsurpassable bit of uncommon sense. I didn't quite get the ending with the presence of another woman looking to play bridge, but as long as Gracie is on screen, nothing else matters.
