Win Elliot opens the show, introducing the guest star for the evening's performance, a young man whose stage appearance of sixty straight weeks, smashed all records at New York's Roxy Theater. You've heard him with Paul Whiteman, Waltz Time and Manhattan Merry-go-round - it's Bob Bannon. But first, we hear an opening selection from Harry Sosnik and the Savings Bond Orchestra, playing their own arrangement of Old Man River.
