Command Performance – Shirley Temple, Baby Snooks, Abbott and Costello. 42-04-19 (retro490)

At the request of a soldier serving overseas, his kid sister is asked to host the show today. Shirly Temple says a hello to big brother Sonny, then gets the ball rolling.

Harriot Shelton sings, Don’t Sit Under the Apple Tree with Anyone Else But Me. Famous boxing champ, Sabarino talks about his technique in the ring. Who was the one man who gave him the fight of his life, in his 18 year career? The Philipino boxer leaves with a good word for the troops.

The band plays, Blue Skies. A letter from a soldier is read, and Baby Snooks enters to torment Hanley Stafford, as he tries to play golf . Can she do any better?

Another letter writer requests an appearance by Dorothy Lamour. She sings, Moonlight and Shadows. Abbott and Costello arrive to do their famous baseball sketch. Who is on first anyway? From the Bob Hope Show, the Six Hits and a Miss sing, Begin the Beguinne.

Shirley wraps up this package of love with a patriotic message from the folks back home.
