Show Notes
Episode Date: December 12, 1937
The show opens with singing from Nelson Eddy and also from Dorothy Lamour. This is the episode in which Bergen and guest star Mae West performed the Adam and Eve skit written by Arch Oboler, which caused great controversy. Later in the show with the romantic meeting of Siren Mae West and Casanova Charles McCarthy remarks were made that in 1938 were considered inappropriate and which led to a fifteen year broadcasting ban for Mae West.
