Al Jolson's most frequent Kraft Music Hall Guest made a return appearance to the program this week in 1948, in great voice as always. A week before the Presidential election, Jolson was topical, and sang wonderfully. Joining in duet with Dorothy Kirsten, or singing alone, this is just an enjoyable half hour of radio pleasure.

 | 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.
