von
Mail Call is a wartime radio variety program built around entertainment for members of the U.S. armed forces. This dated broadcast features Lucille Ball, Harry Richman, Kay Thompson, and Laurel and Hardy, bringing together performers from comedy, music, and popular entertainment.
The program’s variety-show format offers a change of pace through its featured guests and their performances. With several well-known entertainers sharing the bill, the listening experience moves among different styles rather than following a single dramatic story.
Its appeal lies in the lively mix of familiar performers and its connection to wartime radio entertainment. The result is a snapshot of a broadcast designed to bring popular show-business talent to service members and listeners at home.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
