Today we’re starting a 10-week series contrasting comedic and dramatic performances of well-known vintage comedians. Moving through these shows chronologically, we begin with an episode of "Duffy's Tavern" starring Ed Gardner, who will be showcased later in the week in his appearance on “Suspense.” This particular "Duffy's Tavern" episode from May 25th, 1949, includes guest star Ed Wynn doing his humorous, nonsensical opera commentary within the radio show's usual tavern setting.
