2+ Hours of Comedy

First a look at this day in History.

Then My Friend Irma starring Marie Wilson, originally broadcast June 23, 1953, 71 years ago, Irma the Newspaperwoman. Irma writes a column for the West Side Shopper - a free paper - and Jane is concerned that the price may be too high.

Followed by the news from 71 years ago, then Martin and Lewis, originally broadcast June 23, 1953, 71 years ago,  with guest Vera-Ellen.  The boys and Vera do a sketch about a has-been picture star titled “High By Noon”

Then The Magnificent Montague starring Monty Woolley, originally broadcast June 23, 1951, 73 years ago, Culture in Brooklyn.  Shakespeare under the stars-in Brooklyn?

Followed by The Adventures of Archie Andrews, originally broadcast June 23, 1945, 79 years ago, Nazi POW in Riverdale?  Archie and Jughead capture an escaped Nazi prisoner! This, of course, leads to a night in jail for stealing a car!

Finally Superman, originally broadcast June 23, 1941, 83 years ago, The White Plague. The start of a new adventure. Clark Kent (Bud Collyer) and Jimmy Olsen (Jackie Kelk) visit a lumber camp on the Big Beaver river; they are attacked.
