Smithsonian Legendary Performers: Burns & Allen Book

For almost 20 years, George Burns and Gracie Allen were radio's best-loved husband-and-wife comedy team. Listeners across America couldn't wait to hear about the latest misadventures of their favorite scatterbrain and her long-suffering husband. In addition to headlining their own show, Burns and Allen often dropped in on their friends, like Jack Benny, Eddie Cantor and Al Jolson. Now, the Smithsonian Institution and Radio Spirits are proud to bring you the finest assortment of these appearances ever assembled. This collection includes 10 performances from Burns and Allen, all digitally restored and remastered for superb sound quality, as well as a 32-page historical book featuring rare photographs and behind-the-scenes anecdotes.
