2 + Hours of Comedy

First a look at this day in History.

Then The Magnificent Montague starring Monty Wooley, originally broadcast April 27, 1951, 73 years ago, Summer Getaway Cottage.  Montague tries to get some peace and quiet at a country cottage. A frustrating evening of Bridge is followed by a ride in the country. 

Followed by You Bet Your Life starring Groucho Marx, originally broadcast April 27, 1957, 67 years ago, The Secret Word is House.  

Then The First Nighter Program, originally broadcast April 27, 1952, 72 years ago, Refresher Course.  A domestic comedy, a bewildered husband, two kids and a frustrated wife. What this family needs is a refresher course...in marriage!  Barbara Luddy and Olan Soule star. 

Followed by The CBS Radio Workshop, originally broadcast April 27, 1956, 68 years ago, The Record Collectors.   John Dehner interviews two record collectors who play some items from their collections. The whole show is a hoax.  Howard McNear and Lou Huston are hilarious. 

Finally Claudia, originally broadcast April 27, 1948, 76 years ago, Repairing the Wall.  Claudia and David are up at 8:15 AM and out walking. A meeting with Matthew Warren is planned.
