The Orson Welles Almanac | Guest, Hedda Hopper | Broadcast date: Wednesday, February 23, 1944

The Orson Welles Almanac aired on CBS Radio and broadcast live, hosted by Orson Welles. Many shows originated from U.S. military camps, where Welles and his repertory company and guests entertained the troops with a reduced version of The Mercury Wonder Show. The performances of the all-star jazz band that Welles brought together for the show were an important force in the revival of traditional New Orleans jazz in the 1940s.
