Bob Hope (The Bob Hope Show) entertains the troops in Los Angeles during World War II at Naval Air Station, Terminal Island, California. With guest Orson Welles, Barbara Jo Allen, and Frances Langford. This aired September 28, 1943.

For those mainly interested in hearing Orson Welles' part, skip to 20:50.

Bob jokes that Orson had an "Ensign" (pronounced 'In-sin') in his family tree. ‘Ensign’ is a junior rank of a commissioned officer in the armed forces. As the junior officer in an infantry regiment was traditionally the carrier of the ensign flag, hence the name.
