The Eddie Cantor Show
With Leslie Howard
by
Eddie Cantor brings his lively comic personality to this radio variety program. Known for his energetic delivery and playful humor, Cantor anchors the show, with actor Leslie Howard also identified in this broadcast’s title.
The program belongs to the classic variety-radio tradition, where comedy and entertainment are presented through a mix of spoken performance and musical material. Cantor’s presence gives the show its central spark, while the appearance of a guest performer adds another voice to the broadcast.
Its appeal lies in hearing a major entertainer work in the intimate, immediate style of radio: jokes, performance, and personality carried entirely by sound. The result offers a glimpse of 1930s popular entertainment, with Cantor’s exuberant comic style at the center.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
