This week's program features a return visit by Mr. James Durante, who holds his own, and flubs some lines, with Al and Oscar. Jolson does not disappoint, either, with a few really great numbers. The highlight may be the duet of the great "Real Piano Player" bit with Jolson and Durante, originated a month previously on a Durante broadcast. Hey, that bit is alone worth the price of admission. Add to that some great Jolson tunes, and you'll certainly enjoy this program.

 | In many ways, the Kraft Music Hall represented the peak of the comeback of Al Jolson. Here is more information about the program, including a complete listing of guest stars, and the review from Variety of the opening program. |
With 99 programs broadcast over almost 2½ years, there are precious few transcriptions of this largest body of Jolson broadcast work. Here is a little bit about Al Jolson's Cafe Trocadero, later The Al Jolson Program, and a look at some of the material the IAJS has added to the catalog.
