Jack Benny - Mary Does She Done Him Wrong


Listen Later

The original air date for this episode was March 31, 1933 and the sponsor for this one is Chevrolet. There is an insensitive remark about Gandhi and a racially insensitive portrayal of one of the characters. There's lots of music, of course, and plenty of in-show ads for the new $445 Chevrolet Six car, which would cost $11,000 in 2025. Mary (played by Jack's wife Sadie Marx) makes her radio singing debut. The cast does a take on Mae West's "She Done Him Wrong" called "She Done Him Right."
