Command Performance
par
Command Performance is a variety program created to entertain American service members during World War II. Its broadcasts bring together popular performers from music, comedy, and the stage for a lively mix of songs, sketches, and other entertainment.
The program’s appeal lies in its variety: familiar voices and musical styles share the air, giving each installment the feel of a special gathering rather than a single continuing story. This broadcast features Ronald Colman, Lena Horne, Jascha Heifetz, and Rise Stevens, offering a distinctive meeting of dramatic performance and musical talent.
Warm, polished, and shaped by the spirit of wartime entertainment, Command Performance captures the pleasure of hearing celebrated artists perform for an audience far from home.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
