Autolight (Barbara Stanwyck)

The show opens on Jack sweeping the set; he explains that he has a package deal, and anything he saves he can keep. He has Mary running the spotlight and Bob Crosby building sets. He does a monologue on his movie career. An old friend from Waukegan has asked Jack to help his daughter break into show business; she is an acrobatic dancer and cartwheels across the stage. Bob Crosby sings 'I don't care if the sun don't shine.' The sketch is a parody on Gaslight with Barbara Stanwyck.
