First a look at the events of the day
Then, The Chase and Sanborn Hour, originally broadcast June 13, 1937, 88 years ago with guest Joan Blondell. Charlie McCarthy is in trouble with the truant officer again. Dorothy Lamour sings, "Please Make Me Be Good," a new Rodgers and Hart tune, being heard for the first time on the air. Joan Blondell appears in a skit by Colin Clements titled, "Spring." Afterwards, Charlie does his version, titled, "Summer." W. C. Fields has built a better mousetrap. He's then introduced to young Rollo Pepitone. Fields suggests that he "sit down and play with some broken glass." Charlie chats with Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart and tells them that his new tune is called, "A Little Of You On Toast" (the name of a new Rodgers and Hart tune). Richard Rodgers plays the piano as Don Ameche sings the tune for the first time on the air.
Followed by George Burns and Gracie Allen, originally broadcast June 13, 1944, 81 years ago, broadcasting from the Kansas City War Bond Rally. The last show of the season, a program for the Fifth War Loan. Will George sing tonight at the Kansas City War Bond Rally? The broadcast originates from the Kansas City Municipal Auditorium. (Where I saw my first concert, The Carpenters, in 1971.)
