Retro Old Time Radio

Good News was a variety show that presented an hour of entertainment. This show features the usual cast: Jimmy Stewart, Baby Snooks, Frank Morgan. This edition features songs from the recently released musical hit film, Rosalie.   The show starts with Jimmy Stewart, who wants to open with an accordian solo. Instead, Meredeth Willson, the bandleader kicks off with his own arrangement. Baby Snooks is up next as she drives her daddy, Hanly Stafford nuts. Snooks tries on hats. You just gotta love those crazy hat styles from back in the 1930's and 40's.   Jimmy acts as Emcee to a Rosalie party with folks from MGM. Louie B Mayer has a few words to express gratitude for movie fans. He introduces that great barritone, Nelson Eddie to sing a medley of the Army and Navy fight songs: When the Kaisons Go Marching Along, and Anchors Aweigh.   Fannie Brice, as Baby Snooks, wants Louie Mayer to read her a story. He summarizes the story of Rosalie. She gives him a hard time over who Santa Claus is.   Laura Ma
