Feb. 16, 1944

It’s Wednesday in 1944 and today we have:

— Bing Crosby in “Mail Call.” And we have the hit song “My Heart Tells Me” plus “Stardust” and “Oh! What a Beautiful Morning,” sung by Connee Boswell. And opera singer Richard Crooks, who gets a chilly introduction from Der Bingle. Courtesy of Archive.org.

— “The Lone Ranger.” Courtesy of Archive.org.

— “To Your Good Health” from the House of Squibb. Betty Mulliner (which is not a name I recognize) sings “Musetta’s Waltz” from “La Boheme.” And you can depend on Squibb tooth powder! Courtesy of Archive.org.
