Gracie’s Banking Tips

Gracie: Where do you keep your money?

George: In the bank.

Gracie: What intrest do you get?

George: Four percent.

Gracie: Ha! I get eight.

George: You get eight?

Gracie: I keep it in two banks.

Gracie: My sister had a baby.

George: Boy or girl?

Gracie: I don’t know, and I can’t wait to find out if I’m an uncle or an aunt.

George: I’ll take you home if you’ll give me a kiss.

Gracie: All right. If you take me home, I’ll give you a kiss.

[As he started walking her across the stage, he stopped abruptly.]

George: Wait a second. Is your mother home?

Gracie: Sure she is, but my father won’t let you kiss my mother.

George’s Talent

“No, I’m not nervous. When I worked with Gracie, Gracie got nervous. To get nervous, you gotta have a lot of talent, and Gracie had the talent.”

– George Burns

On and Off Stage

This image can be traced back to the early years of the team.  Before TV, radio, and movies the team spent much time in building a following while performing on the Vaudeville stage.  The quality of this photo would suggest that it was taken back in the 1920’s.
