Here's another AFRS edited version of the Kraft Music Hall, from April 28, 1949. Making her second appearance on the program, Doris Day returned to join Jolie in song and patter. There are some great Jolson songs, a cute duet, and a smattering of drama and comedy. A real smatter, of course. Don't worry, Doris had a solo as well. So, tolerate the editing and interpolated songs, and enjoy another wonderful half hour of radio entertainment.

 | 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.
