Gracie Allen:
[to Albert Coates]
Are you a musician? José Iturbi: Why, Miss Allen, Mr. Coates has conducted the London Symphony for many years and he has appeared with the Philadelphia Orchestra, with the New York Philharmonic, and with two State Operas! Both Leningrad and Moscow. Gracie Allen: Yes, but, has he ever played with any named bands, like Harry James or Spike Jones? See more » |
