Old radio shows are always a good way to perk up a week that’s got you down! This one of Jeanette performing IRENE for Lux Theater in 1936 is one of our favorites. It even features a brief interview with her at the end!

@achuublessyou@rudyfan@lisaloopners Oh, we would have been such good friends in high school!! However, that scene with the drunkard never fails to get a laugh! Happy to know you were out turning friends into fans at an early age!
Upon the release of the film in 1935, ITALIAN STREET SONG became an instant favorite among fans. It would remain one of the most highly requested songs at Jeanette MacDonald’s concerts and recitals until her passing. #TCMParty#31DaysofOscar
