Chase and Sanborn Program

Janet Blair at Norman, Oklahoma

English · Radio, Performing Arts

The Chase and Sanborn Program was a popular American radio variety show sponsored by Chase and Sanborn coffee. Its broadcasts brought together comedy, music, and guest appearances, offering listeners a lively mix of entertainment rather than a single continuous story.

This recording is identified with Janet Blair at Norman, Oklahoma. Blair was an actress and singer, and her appearance places the program’s familiar variety format in a specific setting. The show’s appeal came from the contrast and interplay of its performers, with spoken comedy and musical entertainment sharing the broadcast.

Expect a polished, audience-friendly program shaped by its performers and sponsor, with the easygoing variety of a major radio entertainment show. The combination of comedy, music, and a featured guest makes it a snapshot of the era’s broadcast variety tradition.
