Learning on ScreenYour Old Time Hit Parade [11/06/1944]
- Synopsis
- Musical radio show. A spin-off series derived from Your Hit Parade and devoted to all-time favourites and standards mixed with some current hits. In what at first appears to be a dramatic scene from the boyhood of Woodrow Wilson, his father holds an old volume of Shakespeare and reads Polonius’ lines ‘This above all - to thine old self be true,/And it must follow, as the night the day/Thou canst not be false to any man’. This is claimed as the key to Wilson’s life but soon turns into the sponsor’s cigarette commercial. [With acknowledgment to Michael P. Jensen for the description].
