Fanny Brice and Frank Morgan headline this radio program associated with Ziegfeld Follies of the Air. The title points to an opening-night broadcast, bringing the world of the Follies to the airwaves through the talents of two celebrated performers.
Brice was known for her comic character work, while Morgan was a versatile actor whose performances ranged from comedy to drama. Together, they offer listeners a glimpse of radio entertainment built around personality and performance, with the show’s Follies connection suggesting a variety-program setting.
The appeal lies in hearing these distinctive performers in a broadcast tied to the theatrical spectacle of the Ziegfeld name. It is a period radio performance for listeners interested in classic American entertainment and the transition of stage and screen talent to the microphone.
