This program, featuring Groucho Marx's second Kraft Music Hall appearance, begins a series of shows broadcast from New York City's Radio City Music Hall. It was originally heard on Thursday, May 6, 1948. Groucho last appeared on Jolson's fourth Kraft program, but it sounds as though he never left.

After a word about $5 Broadway shows and 5 cent subway rides, we should only be so lucky today, Jolson, never one to be geographic, opened the program from New York with a Hawaiian song, "Yaaka Hula Hickey Dula." Thinking back to the nostalgia of New York, accompanied by the requisite jokes about Jolson's age, Levant complements Jolson on winning the award as Variety Magazine's Best Male Singing Star, beating Bing Crosby and others of the day. Levant dug down deep and played one of his original favorites from the early run of the show, Khatchaturian's "Sabre Dance."

After Ken Carpenter discussed Miracle Whip salad dressing, Levant and Jolson bantered a bit about musical composition, ending up with Jolson singing "Poor Butterfly." He then segued into a song Irving Berlin wrote just for him, "Let Me Sing." From there, Jolson devoted a song to this Sunday, written by Jolson's long term friend, Harry Akst, "Remember Mother's Day." Why this song does not continue to get air play is a mystery to me!

When Groucho Marx joined the show, I find no words can possibly describe the action. Freewheeling, punny, with loose associations and a tip to "You Bet Your Life," just listen and laugh!

Ken Carpenter did a Miracle Whip dressed salad justice next. Jolson closed this edition of the Kraft Music Hall with "Come To Me, Bend To Me" and "Annie Laurie" from the Broadway hit, "Brigadoon."
