Command Performance
von
Command Performance is a variety program created to entertain members of the U.S. armed forces during World War II. Its broadcasts bring together popular performers from music, comedy, and other areas of show business for an audience of service members.
The program’s format is a lively mix of performances rather than a continuing drama: listeners can expect songs, comic turns, and other variety entertainment. This recording features George Jessel and Connie Boswell, offering a glimpse of the celebrated entertainers who took part in the series.
With its blend of familiar voices and wartime purpose, Command Performance has the feel of a special radio revue—an occasion built around performers sharing the microphone and bringing entertainment to troops far from home.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
