Today we’ve got a 1944 broadcast featuring Fanny Brice as Baby Snooks and the Wizard of Oz himself, Frank Morgan. They partnered together for a short time on Maxwell House Coffee Time, a condensed half-hour comedy/variety show. This version comes from an Armed Forces Radio Service recording, so instead of the original commercials, you’ll hear music filling those breaks, the way it went out to the troops during the war. This is a direct disc transfer, with no restoration, so it is a little scratchy. The show itself is classic Snooks chaos. Frank Morgan spins some wild stories about his “inventions,” while Snooks does everything she can to keep her poor father from getting a moment of peace.
