This episode of Jack Benny's show features quite a few surprises. If you listen closely, you'll hear some news about progress in WW-II. You'll also hear Mel Blanc. And Fred Allen shows up to help Jack carry on the long-running feud they pretended to have. There's even a visit to Allen's Alley, more or less, from Fred Allen's show. Speaking of their feud, I've read that there was a time when both Allen and Benny got hundreds or even thousands of letters per week from people begging them to bury the hatchet and end their feud. Of course, the feud was just a gag between these two dear friends, who simply played it up to increase their ratings.
