Bob Hope (AFRS) From Yuma Army Base Arizona, with the Andrews Sisters, 450102 – Plus a Lionel Hampton Remote.

Two shows in one. First a presentation with commercials chopped out for AFRS, followed by a short remote of Lionel Hampton performing live.

Playlist:

  • Bob jokes about the heat, and dry weather of the desert around Yuma. He also pokes fun at the topics of dating, marriage, and housing shortages.
  • Skinny Ennis sings, I’m Gonna See My Baby.
  • The Andrews Sisters sing, Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy.
  • The girls meet up with old Drag Along. The old Hollywood wolf pokes fun at ladies undergarments, being bow legged, and horses, and more.
  • The Andrews Sisters sing, Together.
  • Vera Veg is a fortune teller who is teased about her looks and fashion sense as she reads the tea leaves. Francis Langford enters with a few catty remarks for Vera, but when Jerry Kolonna calls in we find he is a pilot who is having trouble in the cockpit.

Shifting into the remote…

  • Lionel Hampton plays a jumping dance tune.
  • Dinah Washington sings, I’m a Slick Chick on the Mellow Side.
  • The show wraps up with Dinah singing, I Got a Penny Benny.
