Listen Later

2+ Hours of  Comedy 

First a look at this day in History.

Then Columbia Presents Corwin, originally broadcast July 17, 1945, 79 years ago, The Undecided Molecule starring Groucho Marx.  A re-broadcast of the verse story by Norman Corwin. A single molecule almost upsets the universe by refusing to combine with other elements. Groucho's ad lib during the closing credits cracks up Keenan Wynn who starts laughing so hard he can't continue! Also featuring Vincent Price and Robert Benchley. 

Followed by Granby’s Green Acres starring Gale Gordon and Bea Benederet, originally broadcast July 17, 1950, 74 years ago, Granby Discovers Electricity.   Granby decides an electric milker is needed for his farm. 

Then The Adventures of Archie Andrews starring Bob Hastings as Archie, originally broadcast July 17, 1948, 76 years ago, Mr. Andrews Wallpapers a Room. Mr. Andrews decides to repaper the living room himself to "save money." Things don't quite work out that way.

Followed by The Damon Runyon Theater starring John Brown as Broadway, originally broadcast July 17, 1949, 75 years ago, The Bloodhounds of Broadway.  Man's best friend is not always the one with four legs.

Finally Lum and Abner, originally broadcast July 17, 1944, 80 years ago, Health Resort Riches.  Abner gets a lesson in economics. It takes money to make money!
