March 7, 1944

It’s Tuesday in 1944, and today we have:

“Movie Primer,” a pretty funny satirical look at Hollywood going through the ABCs (B is for boy as in boy meets girl; C is for movie columnist; D is for dialogue, etc.), is the show in “Columbia Workshop.” With a segment titled “A Picture You Can’t Afford to Miss.” From Otrrlibary.org via Archive.org.

Col. Lemuel Q. Stoopnagle (Frederick Chase Taylor) is the guest on “Duffy’s Tavern.” Calculating the federal income tax is a challenge. Courtesy of Archive.org.

“Fibber McGee and Molly.” Courtesy of Archive.org.

    Nowadays, Fibber McGee would be featured on Hoarders. “T’ain’t funny, McGee–you need an intervention!”
