There was no regular guest this week, offering an opportunity for Al Jolson and company to have a bit more to present. At the end of the program, broadcast a few days before Christmas, 1948, the Kraft Choral Club offered some songs for the festival. Before that, though, Al Jolson offered his own interpretation of a seasonal classic, by Irving Berlin. Have a cup of something, and curl up with this wonderful program. |

 | In many ways, the Kraft Music Hall represented the peak of the comeback of Al Jolson. Here is more information about the program, including a complete listing of guest stars, and the review from Variety of the opening program. |
With 99 programs broadcast over almost 2½ years, there are precious few transcriptions of this largest body of Jolson broadcast work. Here is a little bit about Al Jolson's Cafe Trocadero, later The Al Jolson Program, and a look at some of the material the IAJS has added to the catalog.
