Hosted by Marlene Dietrich who leads off with a song. Either she is one of the worlds worst singers, or she’s just making a joke of the song. Shirley Ross does a much better job when she sings a swinging Irish popular tune of the day. Marlene introduces a pianist who demonstrates how he puts a fresh spin on old familiar tunes.
Comedian, Zero Marcell talks about radio, and radio programs. He then launches into some musical impersonations. Martha Tilton reads from the mail bag then sings, Sweet Lovers Love the Spring. After reading a few greetings from the mail bag, Ella May Morris is joined by Johnny Mercer and the Pied Pipers to sings, Blues in the Night.
Marlene returns to sing. Wow, no joking, she’s one of the worst singers on the old Hollywood silver screen. A great actress, a sexy voice, but singing just wasn’t her thing.
Hey, while you’re here, why not listen to another show to get that atonal voice out of your ears? With all due apologies to to Marlene and any of her beloved family, of course.
