The theme to open the show is Oscar and the Academy Awards. Eddi Cantor jokes about his bill in the restaurant and new year’s resolutions. He won’t lose his temper over it, will he?

Parky Carcass joins Eddie to joke about the missing Oscar, the Rose Bowl game, and football. Deana Durbin sings, Kiss Me Again.
Cookie and the orchestra play a nice dance tune. Eddie and the cast put on their version of Uncle Tom’s Cabin. Is there a reason Eddie shouldn’t play little Eva, the girl who goes to heaven? Parky still gets in-jokes about the Rose Bowl. Eddie sings a jazzy version of, Twinkle Little Star.
