What happens
Jack Benny is waiting at his Beverly Hills home for Professor LeBlanc to arrive for a violin lesson, but his violin has gone missing. Rochester, Dennis Day and the others drift through the house with visits, phone calls and interruptions as the lesson keeps getting delayed. The episode is from the Jack Benny series, first broadcast on February 27, 1949, with Jack Benny, Mary Livingstone, Eddie Anderson and Phil Harris in the leading roles. The transcript breaks off partway through, before the lesson takes place.
Jack Benny's home in Beverly Hills
Characters: Jack Benny, Professor LeBlanc, Rochester, Dennis Day, Phil Harris, Don Wilson, Mr. Kitzel, Claude Raines
Listen for: Jack Benny's exasperated reactions to the constant interruptions, and Rochester's quips about the missing violin.
Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
