This is an excellent comedy show staring Jack Oakie from the late 1930's. During the 1937 season of Oakie's College, a young 14 year old Judy Garland was a weekly regular on the show. Judy sang many wonderful songs that she never sang in her movies or on records. For example, she sang "Pennies from Heaven", "Johhny One Note", "Can't Take That Away From Me" and the Irving Berlin song "Always." In this show, Judy sings a beautiful version of "Smile." Enjoy!

The Father Brown character was created by G.K. Chesterton. There was a Mutual summer series which was broadcast from June 10, 1945 to July 29, 1945. Father Brown the detective priest, was played by Karl Swenson. The series was directed by William Sweets. There is only one program that has survived from that series, and it is on this CD. There was a series of single programs broadcast on BBC from 1984 to 1989, which is also on this CD. (For more G.K. Chesterton, see our CD in the AUTHOR SERIES.)
