Originally Aired: June 15, 1936, on "Lux Radio Theatre"

In this captivating episode of "Lux Radio Theatre," we dive into the glitzy and tumultuous world of "Burlesque," a story that weaves together themes of love, ambition, and the harsh realities of show business. Set backstage at a small-town Midwestern burlesque show, we follow the journey of successful comedian and singer Skid Brown, played by the legendary Al Jolson, as he faces the challenges of pursuing fame while trying to hold onto the love of his life, Bonny Smith, portrayed by Ruby Keeler.
As Skid's career takes him to the dazzling stages of New York City, his personal life begins to unravel. Meanwhile, Bonny is faced with her own difficult choice: stay loyal to the man she loves or take a chance on a better life with a wealthy rancher. The drama, heartbreak, and moments of tenderness in this episode paint a vivid picture of the highs and lows of a life in show business.

The broadcast includes special intermission interviews with 85-year-old theatrical producer Daniel Frohman, as well as Al Jolson and Ruby Keeler themselves, adding depth and authenticity to this theatrical masterpiece. Jolson even performs timeless classics such as "A Pretty Girl Is Like A Melody," "Is It True What They Say About Dixie?" and "Toot, Toot Tootsie."
