Description
"The Kate Smith Show" radio show transcription disc produced by The Armed Forces Radio Service. One complete 30 minute radio program on this 16 inch, vinyl, 33 1/3 rpm disc. This disc was issued to radio stations for broadcast to troops overseas during World War Two and not available to the general public, very rare!
"The Kate Smith Show" radio program #6 starring Kate Smith with guest Mary Martin.
Kate Smith sings "In A Friendly Little Harbor", "These Foolish Things", "You'll Never Know"
Program includes a "Joe And Mabel" skit with Ted DeCorsia & Ann Thomas. "Joe And Mabel" was a radio, and later television series about a cab driver and his girlfriend. In this story, Joe now drives an Army jeep, and his girlfriend Mabel has become a riveter
Guest Mary Martin appears in a skit based on her movie "True To Life", sounds like Jim Backus is one of the characters in the story
There is no date on the disc, however since Kate Smith says that she recently saw Mary Martin's movie "True To Life", and this movie was released in December 1943, I suspect this show is from late 1943 to early 1944
I could not find any reference to any existing example of this radio program in any online radio log or database
Program was meant to be broadcast to servicemen overseas, Excellent World War Two Era nostalgic broadcast! Program is complete and 30 minutes
Disc is in Excellent- Condition with Excellent- Sound, Beautiful Disc!
Due to their size, 16 inch discs will not play on most standard turntables. For $10 I can include a CD transfer of the entire disc for the buyer only
