Editorial Reviews

Program #1 - The Eddie Cantor Show (1/6/43) Starring Eddie Cantor and bandleader Tommy Dorsey with singer star Dinah Shore. Also included are Bert "The Mad Russian" Gordon, Hattie McDaniel, Cookie Farichild's orchestra and announcer Harry Von Zell. Eddie and his gang poke fun at audience participation programs. Program #2 - Fibber McGee & Molly (4/6/43) Starring Jim and Marian Jordan. Fibber is plum out of energy and feels awful, so he invites Doc Gamble over for dinner in hopes of getting a free diagnosis. It's back to 79 Wistful Vista for a half-hour of laughter! Program #3 - The Life of Riley (4/8/49) Starring William Bendix as Chester A. Riley with John Brown as "Digger O'Dell, the Friendly Undertaker" and special guest star Burt Lancaster. Riley is given a ride by Lancaster and mistakenly thinks he's being held up!
