The Charlotte Greenwood Show
Newspaper Ad Mix Up
by
The Charlotte Greenwood Show stars actress and comedian Charlotte Greenwood, whose distinctive high kicks and lively comic presence made her a familiar figure in vaudeville, film, and radio. The program brings her theatrical personality to the microphone, with Greenwood at the center of a light entertainment broadcast.
As a variety-style radio show, it offers comic material and musical entertainment rather than a single continuing dramatic story. The title identifies this recording with “Newspaper Ad Mix Up,” suggesting a comic mix-up at its heart, while the program’s appeal rests on Greenwood’s energetic performance and the playful spirit of the show.
Listeners can expect a bright, stage-minded comedy experience shaped by a performer known for physical exuberance as well as verbal humor. The radio format lets Greenwood’s personality carry the entertainment, making this a lively example of mid-century popular comedy.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
