Jane Pickens, star of the opera Regina, performs an emotional scene from the opera. Then, Faye reads a Joel Chandler Harris story to a group of children. After talking about the morals of the story, Faye tells viewers about the eternal flame of the confederacy. She then asks broadcaster John Tillman for some help as they pretend to provide a news broadcast depicting the end of the Civil War; footage from the film Birth of a Nation is used to "illustrate" their broadcast. A more comical approach is taken when Faye performs a scene from the play Light Up the Sky with actor Lee Tracy. Jane Pickens closed the show by performing another song. Written by
