Making his third appearance on the Kraft Music Hall this week in April, 1948, Charles Boyer would achieve the "most frequent guest to date" status with this program. It would be his last visit, however, to the show. The production, as always, was a great mix of music and comedy. Jolson sang a few songs not elsewhere performed, and the comedy with Jolie and Boyer was, in a word, messhugah! From over a half century ago, enjoy this pairing of two great stars on the radio.

 | 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.
