In 1941, Eddie Cantor was at the top of the radio world, and Al Jolson was recovering after his last return to Broadway. The soldiers of World War II had yet to be mustered, as the United States had not yet been drawn into the War. It was in that world that Al Jolson appeard as a guest star on Eddie Cantor's Time To Smile radio program. This is a wonderful look at the relationship, the friendship, between two great stars, just before the world changed, forever. So sit back and smile, yourself, as you listen to this 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.
