The Big Show 50 11 05 Fred Allen And Jimmy Durante

In this very first episode of The Big Show, the entertainment is furnished by Hostess Tallulah Bankhead, with Fred Allen, Portland Hoffa, Jimmy Durante, Danny Thomas, Ethel Merman, and others. The highlight of the show is a sketch by Fred Allen called The Pinch Penny Show, a parody of Freds' nemesis.
