Al Jolson on the Radio
The Shell Chateau

From April, 1935, through March, 1936, Al Jolson starred in the Shell Chateau, broadcast on Saturday nights over the NBC Red Network. There were 39 one hour broadcasts, only a few of which survive. Although the sound quality is not the best, the content is first rate Jolson. Along with the noted guest star, other celebrities of the era were featured on the programs, and Al Jolson sang quite a few unique songs during the run of the Shell Chateau.

Members of the International Al Jolson Society can check their latest Jolson Journal for these, and other Jolson CD and Video offerings. Along with these CDs, members of the IAJS can take advantage of many other items in the Jolson catalog, along with receiving two jam-packed Jolson Journals yearly.
