Yep, we have it all here this week on the OTR Express. Dennis Day kicks off the program with his eponymous sitcom, alternatively titled, A Day in the Life of Dennis Day.
A Day in the Life of Dennis Day gave the boyish sounding Day a chance to showcase his vocal and comedic talents, and the show we picked out for you this week has no fewer than 3 songs performed by Day.
The comedy is purely of the situational variety, but that doesn't make it bad.
We then turn our attention to the news of the day, with a radio broadcast from H.V. Kaltenborn. If you watch any news commentary shows nowadays, then you'll see the descendants of the Kaltenborn school of broadcasting. A very interesting man, and you can read more about him here: http://www.otr.com/kaltenborn.shtml
Lastly, we have the national debut of Captain Midnight. 'Nuff said. So gather round the radio, gang, (after drinking some rich chocolately Ovaltine, of course), and enjoy a night of old time radio.
