Thanks for stopping by A Mind Forever Wandering Old Time Radio (or AMFWOTR for short), a blog devoted to the enjoyment of the wonderful but sometimes forgotten magic of radio entertainment. You’ll find some of the best classic shows right here, with new posts each and every day!
Fibber and Molly are leaving for Hollywood, from where the program will originate for the next ten weeks. They’re going to be making a picture, to be called This Way Please. “Barry Lionmore” (possibly Bill Thompson) teaches Fibber about acting. Perry Como sings There’s Something in the Air.
Fibber McGee and Molly – Leaving for Hollywood
Jim Jordan, Marian Jordan, Harlow Wilcox, Ted Weems and His Orchestra, Perry Como (vocal), Hugh Studebaker (in Negro dialect, as “Silly Watson”), Elmo Tanner (whistler), Bill Thompson (?).
Fibber and Molly are running an employment agency. Perry Como sings Twilight on the Trail and Elmo Tanner whistles part of the opening theme. Don’t miss the band swinging out to Big Man from the South.
