This week's program features a return visit by Mr. James Durante, who holds his own, and flubs some lines, with Al and Oscar. Jolson does not disappoint, either, with a few really great numbers. The highlight may be the duet of the great "Real Piano Player" bit with Jolson and Durante, originated a month previously on a Durante broadcast. Hey, that bit is alone worth the price of admission. Add to that some great Jolson tunes, and you'll certainly enjoy this program.

The Kraft Music HallIn 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.

Al Jolson's Lifebuoy 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.
