The Great Gildersleeve - Arrives in Summerfield (Audition Show)

Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve, affectionately known as TP or Gildy
is owner of Gildersleeve Girdle works and onetime neighbor of
Fibber McGee and bearer of an inimitable dirty laugh! In this
first episode of “The Great Gildersleeve we see the departure of
TP from his home town Wistful Vista to Summerfield. On the train
journey TP enters into a disagreement with a man over a lower
berth and it later turns out that the man in question is Judge
Horace Hooker. Here begins a wonderfully comic relationship of
feuds and arguments!
