Posted by the International Al Jolson Society, www.jolson.org, this is an excerpt of the 14 Sep 1935 Shell Chateau starring Al Jolson with guest star Fannie Brice. Al Jolson begins the segment with a medley of three songs: "Whispering," "My Melancholy Baby," and "Poor Butterfly." Jolson then introduces Fannie Brice, the original Funny Girl, singing her signature piece, "My Man." The segment concludes with Al Jolson singing a song introduced in his movie, "Mammy," although this time in dialect, "Yes, We Have No Bananas." Photos of Jolson and Brice, real and composite, let you imagine being in the audience. The complete program, along with other Al Jolson radio shows, will be available on the Official Al Jolson Website at www.jolson.org, from its posting in September through the end of October.
