Leroy Learns To Dance Party For Ethel
Gildersleeve decides to throw a birthday celebration for Ethel Hammerschlag, even though Leroy doesn't want him to. During the party, Gildersleeve acts out a long talk he once had with his dad when he was just a kid. Harold Peary plays both Gildersleeve and his father in this scene.
The Great Gildersleeve is a radio situation comedy broadcast in the United States from August 31, 1941 to 1958. Initially written by Leonard Lewis Levinson, it was one of broadcast history's earliest spin-off programs. The series was built around Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve, a regular character from the radio situation comedy Fibber McGee and Molly. The character was introduced in the October 3, 1939, episode of that series. Actor Harold Peary had played a similarly named character, Dr. Gildersleeve, on earlier episodes. The Great Gildersleeve enjoyed its greatest popularity in the 1940s. Peary played the character during its transition from the parent show into the spin-off and later in four feature films released at the height of the show's popularity.
