In today's special show, Charles Butterworth performs in a brand-new sketch written for him by Marc Connelly. Noel Coward has given permission to use Private Lives for Hollywood actress Helen Vinson and Fred Perry - the English tennis champion - who goes in for acting tonight for the first time with his famous wife as his partner. David Freedman has fashioned a hilarious Baby Snooks routine for Fanny Brice, who returns to radio for the first time after her long illness. In addition you will hear Teddy Bergman and Bert Gordon back again by request. Finally the hot and funny song team from New Faces, Billy Haywood and Cliff Allen, perform. But it's Rudy Vallee who raises the musical curtain with Bojangles of Harlem.
