Then The Chase and Sanborn Hour, originally broadcast September 12, 1937, 87 years ago with guest Bette Davis.  Nelson Eddy sings, "With A Song In My Heart." Edgar Bergen discusses the coming start of the school year with Charlie McCarthy. Dorothy promises to help Charlie with his homework. The orchestra plays a medley of hits by Irving Berlin. Bette Davis appears in, "It's A Swell Night."  After the story, Charlie flirts with Bette. W. C. Fields tells about his new picture, "The Big Broadcast Of 1938" and jousts with Charlie McCarthy. 

We follow that with The Aldrich Family starring Ezra Stone and Jackie Kelk, originally broadcast September 12, 1940, 84 years ago, The Lost Watch. Henry has lost the new watch that was sent to him by Aunt Harriet. 

Then Fibber McGee and Molly, originally broadcast September 12, 1939, 85 years ago, Fifteenth Anniversary Elopement.  It's their fifteenth wedding anniversary and the McGees celebrate by eloping, and wind up in jail!

Finally, Superman, originally broadcast September 12, 1941, 83 years ago.  Metropolis Football Team Poisoned.  Superman flies to the train on which the cook is escaping and brings him back to Metropolis. Superman bungles badly!  Bud Collyer is Clark Kent/Superman, with Jackie Kelk as Jimmy Olson.
