First a look at this day in History.

Then The Big Show starring Tallulah Bankhead, originally broadcast April 15, 1951, 74 years ago. Jack Carson gives Tallulah a singing lesson. Olivia de Havilland and Evelyn Vardin do a scene from "Romeo and Juliet." Martha Raye does a baseball skit. Eddie Cantor appears as "Maxie The Taxi," a Brooklyn cab driver he made famous with a series of skits on television. Baseball player Tommy Hendrick gives Tallulah some of the fine points of the game. Phil Foster remember life in old Brooklyn. Tallulah reads "Casey At The Bat," as De Wolfe Hopper might have done it. Jack Carson and Martha Raye describe what might have happened to Casey when he got home that night!

Followed by The Great Gildersleeve starring Willard Waterman, originally broadcast April 15, 1953, 72 years ago, Boys’ Club.  The Jolly Boys offer the use of their clubhouse for Leroy and his friends.

Finally Can You Imagine That with Lindsay MacHarrie, originally broadcast in 1940, 85 years ago, Two Million an Hour.  A man earns $2 million dollars an hour, two famous authors engage in a public fight, a noted man gets a warm place by the fire through a half a peck of oysters.
