Eddie Cantor – Guest, John Barrymore. 410226

The weather is the main feature of Eddie’s opening jokes. Harry Vonzel wants to know what became of the mystery man who made those threatening phone calls to Eddie last week. It involves a baby that was left in Eddie’s care a few shows back.

John Barrymore arrives to joke about the baby, acting, Shakespearean plays, and aging. Dinah Shore enters to tease John, and mention her crush on Phil Harris. Dinah sings, There Is a Tavern in the Town. At least a modified version of it.

Eddie Cantor Old Time Radio Shows.

Eddie, and John, try to entertain the baby to keep him from crying. The Mad Russian joins the fun to get in on the cutting up between Eddie and John. The Russian, and John take turns in love scenes with Dinah.

Is the baby entertained? Will there be another threatening phone call? Eddie closes with a song, a medley of swinging nursery rhymes.
