Speaker 1 (31:24):
Joan Davis was a popular vaudeville and then radio star,
as well as making some b pictures and then moving
into television. On radio, she had appearances on The Rudy
Valley Show, The Big Show with Tallula Bankhead. She had
(31:48):
her own show called Leave It to Joan, similar to
leave It to Beaver. I'm not sure I've never heard
leave It to Joan. But she moved to TELEVI in
the fifties with most everybody else, and was given a
show called I Marry Joan. In nineteen fifty two, she
(32:10):
started opposite Jim Bacchus. That's of Gilligan Gillian's Island fame.
I would think everybody would remember that, but that didn't
last very long. It wasn't the same as I Love Lucy. Unfortunately,
Joan Davis died at the age of forty eight of
(32:31):
a heart attack. Dinah Shore grew up in Tennessee and
attended Vanderbilt University, where she graduated with a degree in sociology.
In nineteen thirty eight. She decided to move to New York,
though and try to make it as a singer. In
March of nineteen thirty nine, Shore debuted on national radio
on the Sunday afternoon CBS radio program Ben Bernie's Orchestra.
(32:55):
Eddie Canter hired her to sing on his radio show,
and she did for years. Her first movie was Thank
Your Lucky Stars with Eddie Canter. During the nineteen forties,
she made many records entertained the troops during the war
and ended up with her own radio show by the
end of the decade. Her radio and recording career slowed
in the fifties, but her television career more than made
(33:16):
up for it. In the early fifties, she had her
own TV show, The Dinah Shore Show, and in nineteen
fifty six she hosted a monthly hour long Chevrolet sponsored
full color variety show, which was a big hit. These
ran until nineteen sixty three. In the seventies, she hosted
two daytime shows, first Dinah's Place and then Dinah exclamation Point.
(33:39):
She made hundreds of guest appearances on radio and TV
shows over the years, just like we heard today one
bit of Trivia. A house she had built in nineteen
sixty three was sold to actor Leonardo DiCaprio in twenty
fourteen for almost five point five million dollars. Dinah Shour
(34:00):
died in nineteen ninety four of ovarian cancer at the
age of seventy seven. Please send your questions and comments
to host at CLASSICCOMEDYOTR dot com Until next time. In
the words of John Hancock, and that's not Herbie Hancock,
as Tommy Boy would say, that's John Hancock. A chip
on the shoulder is too heavy a piece of baggage
(34:22):
to carry through life.
Welcome to classic comedy of old time radio. I'm your host,

(04:49):
long as you write the song. Why don't you write
an old favorite like Chloe.

If it's an old favorite, it means that somebody has
already wrote it.

Joan Davis was a popular vaudeville and then radio star,
as well as making some b pictures and then moving
into television. On radio, she had appearances on The Rudy
Valley Show, The Big Show with Tallula Bankhead. She had
(31:48):
her own show called Leave It to Joan, similar to
leave It to Beaver. I'm not sure I've never heard
leave It to Joan. But she moved to TELEVI in
the fifties with most everybody else, and was given a
show called I Marry Joan. In nineteen fifty two, she
(32:10):
started opposite Jim Bacchus. That's of Gilligan Gillian's Island fame.
I would think everybody would remember that, but that didn't
last very long. It wasn't the same as I Love Lucy. Unfortunately,
Joan Davis died at the age of forty eight of
(32:31):
a heart attack. Dinah Shore grew up in Tennessee and
attended Vanderbilt University, where she graduated with a degree in sociology.
In nineteen thirty eight. She decided to move to New York,
though and try to make it as a singer. In
March of nineteen thirty nine, Shore debuted on national radio
on the Sunday afternoon CBS radio program Ben Bernie's Orchestra.
(32:55):
Eddie Canter hired her to sing on his radio show,
and she did for years. Her first movie was Thank
Your Lucky Stars with Eddie Canter. During the nineteen forties,
she made many records entertained the troops during the war
and ended up with her own radio show by the
end of the decade. Her radio and recording career slowed
in the fifties, but her television career more than made
(33:16):
up for it. In the early fifties, she had her
own TV show, The Dinah Shore Show, and in nineteen
fifty six she hosted a monthly hour long Chevrolet sponsored
full color variety show, which was a big hit. These
ran until nineteen sixty three. In the seventies, she hosted
two daytime shows, first Dinah's Place and then Dinah exclamation Point.
(33:39):
She made hundreds of guest appearances on radio and TV
shows over the years, just like we heard today one
bit of Trivia. A house she had built in nineteen
sixty three was sold to actor Leonardo DiCaprio in twenty
fourteen for almost five point five million dollars. Dinah Shour
(34:00):
died in nineteen ninety four of ovarian cancer at the
age of seventy seven. Please send your questions and comments

the words of John Hancock, and that's not Herbie Hancock,
as Tommy Boy would say, that's John Hancock. A chip
on the shoulder is too heavy a piece of baggage
(34:22):
to carry through life.
