Jeanne Crain is tonight's Mistress of Ceremonies, the youngest ever on Command Performance, at just nineteen years old!. She begins by introducing Harry James and his Orchestra, with Kitty Kallen singing I'm Beginning To See The Light. Harry then introduces Gene Krupa, Charlie Ventura and Teddy Napoleon, (The Gene Krupa Trio) who play Lime House Blues. Next up, is a bizarre request from the 4th Marines, for William Bendix and Edward Everett Horton to milk a cow... Willie Smith then plays an alto solo of Tea for Two with Harry James and his Orchestra.
