1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 It’s back-to-school time on this episode of “Presenting the Transcription Feature.”&amp;nbsp; And we all need to laugh, so here’s two comedy episodes.&amp;nbsp; First, we’ll visit Ivy College, where the mellifluous British actor Ronald Colman and his real-life wife, the equally mellifluous Benita Hume, star as “The Halls of Ivy.”&amp;nbsp; He is the president of one of those small Midwestern colleges that predominated in movies and radio shows of the era. &amp;nbsp;She, his wife, who has given up her career on the stage to be his helpmeet.&amp;nbsp; This episode, while full of laughs, has a lot of heart too.&amp;nbsp; The show’s dialog is informed and witty – as befits Colman’s always-sophisticated persona, and “The Halls of Ivy” even won a Peabody Award in 1950.&amp;nbsp; Then we drop in on high school to see “Our Miss Brooks.”&amp;nbsp; Here, Eve Arden plans a relaxing pre-return-to-work picnic.&amp;nbsp; But those plans soon go awry. &amp;nbsp;This episode starts off a little silly.&amp;nbsp; There’s the sit-com trope of people pretending to be other people, but, as we approach the end, it really pays off hilariously.&amp;nbsp; Plus, you get Gale Gordon and Frank Nelson in one episode.
