Question 8
Of all the guest stars on the Kraft Music Hall, who was the most popular female guest? That is, who appeared as a guest the most times?
You said 1. Dorothy Kirsten
If there is one thing that sounds incongruous, it's Jolson and opera. Sure, Jolson had a voice that bordered on the operatic, he even tried a few bars of operatic pieces on the Music Hall, but have a Metropolitan Opera star as a guest? Sure, why not. In fact, Dorothy Kirsten was such a popular guest that she was on the show seven times, being on the next to last show before Groucho's final appearance. But with those seven, she not only became the top female guest, but the top guest star overall.

Go on to the next question.
