This week's program is only part of the broadcast of March 30, 1943. Of the original 25 minute broadcast, we have but a little over nineteen minutes of the program. Missing are the program opening and Al Jolson's opening number, the title of which is lost to posterity, and the ending of Jo Stafford's song.

Starting with this program, the Colgate show moved from New York to Los Angeles, and the cast reformulated to include Monty Woolley, who had been with the show, along with newcomers Jo Stafford as the vocalist, Carlton Kadell announcing, and conductor Gordon Jenkins. The show was perfomed twice, once at 5:30 p.m. for the East Coast, and again at 8:30 p.m. for the West Coast, on the CBS radio network.

This transcription begins just after the opening number segment, with some scripted dialog between Jolson and Kadell about Jolson's return to California. You can almost hear Jolson as he struggled with the script.

Next up was Monty Woolley, and Jolson even made a comment about working from a script. The acerbic pattern that they had set in previous shows, and which served as a set-up for the later team of Jolson and Levant, continued in this program.

After the bickering, Jo Stafford made her debut, with the song "Little Man With The Candy Cigar." As mentioned above, the end of the number is cut, and runs right into a wonderful commercial for Colgate Tooth Powder and Tooth Paste. Jolson was, shall we say, a bit irreverant during this commercial - pay attention!

The next segment of the program was a routine between Jolson and Woolley, while they look for a place to live in California.

Jolson's closing number of the program is one written by Al Dubin and James V. Monaco, who were responsible for so many of the hits Jolson sang. On this wartime show, this is the only time Jolson recorded a performance of the song "American Boy," dedicated to the men in uniform.
