Al Jolson opened with a story about Irving Berlin spending Christmas in the German city of the same name, entertaining the troops, and singing the Berlin song requested most, "Alexander's Ragtime Band." After the song, Ken Carpenter and Al Jolson speak a bit about television, and the movement of shows off the network. Of course, Oscar Levant chimed in on the conversation as well.

After all the ruminations about television and talent, Oscar Levant forgets televion with a wonderful performance of Rachmaninoff piano variations. With Lou Bring's orchestra behind him, it's a beautiful number.

Mr Kraft enjoyed Oscar's playing, but Ken Carpenter was sure to remind us of some of his other favorite things, as well.

After the commercial, Al and Oscar went around about an invitation to the Jolson home Levant missed. To make up for it, Jolson invited Levant back to dinner, the entertainment of which would be, what else, Jolson. He shpieled around with "Carolina In The Morning." After Levant declined the job of butler, Jolson countered with "I Got Lucky In The Rain." Seems like a fair deal to me!

Ken Carpenter took center stage with another Kraft commercial, comparing roast beef to cheese. Only Carpenter could pull this one off!

Finally making his entrance, asking for Alfred Joslin, Arthur Treacher entered the Music Hall, playing fast and loose with the script, like everyone else. Of course, given his movie stereotype, Mr. Treacher is pressed into service as butler for the Jolson party.

The last commercial slot was dedicated to a drive for the March of Dimes, slated for January 30, the birthday of the late President Franklin Roosevelt. Jolson topped it with a special version of "Buddy, Can You Spare a Dime." Wow!

Segueing from all the emotion of the last song, Al Jolson went into one of his most heartfelt songs without missing a beat. With all the schmaltz that Al Jolson could put into it, the show concluded with the first song to sell millions of recordings, "Sonny Boy."
