The Ziegfeld Follies of the Air
- The Ziegfeld Follies of the Air
"The Ziegfeld Follies of the Air", broadcast on CBS during the 1930s, attempted to bring the success of Florenz Ziegfeld's stage shows to the new medium of radio.
Eddie Dowling hosted the musical variety format. Sponsored by Chrysler Motors, the half-hour series aired Sunday evenings from April 3 to June 26, 1932, moving April 24 from 8:30pm to 10:30pm. With Al Goodman leading the orchestra, the line-up of guests included Fanny Brice, Helen Morgan, Jack Pearl, Will Rogers and Ziegfeld himself. In 1932, Ziegfeld died July 22, but the series came back for a run from February 22 to June 6, 1936, serving as a tribute to the showman. Goodman returned as orchestra leader, and Brice appeared in the sketch series that eventually expanded into "The Baby Snooks Show". Other guests included Patty Chapin, James Melton and Benny Fields. Few episodes survive.
