It was still quite cold in California, when this show was broadcast, and that was unusual. But was not unusual was that Jolson started out singing, "That Certain Party."

Also not unusual was the banter and barb exchange engaged in between Jolson and Levant after the opening number. Following that, Oscar Levant played a piece by his favorite composer, the 2^nd movement of George Gershwin's Piano Concerto.

Ken Carpenter then waxed poetic about American cheese, and its recipe possibilities. Levant made noises about leaving the Music Hall, and Jolson responded with "I'm Crying Just For You."

Continuing with the apparent conflict between Jolson and Levant, the segment was concluded with a number that Al Jolson introduced in the movie he made with Ruby Keeler, Go Into Your Dance, "She's A Latin From Manhattan."

Following more cheesy thoughts by Ken Carpenter, Groucho Marx entered the fracas in the Music Hall. As with his last appearance, he and Jolie did a bit which, for the lack of a better description, we will just call "A Mink For Jolson." It goes other places after that, but you will have to listen for yourself.

You'll be glad to know that Al and Oscar reconciled by the end of the show. Jolie closed the show with a song he loved to sing, about a man leaving a legacy of beautiful thoughts. With "When I Leave The World Behind" he sang the words set down by Irving Berlin; and with his voice he left us a legacy of his own.

Don't miss the closing commercial, right after the sign-off. It has lines you're not likely to hear broadcast these days!
