| Title | : | finding jobs for convicts |
| Air Date | : | 08.01.1941 ( August 1, 1941) |
| Plot | : | An audition program, recorded within the walls of San Quentin Prison. The program features interviews with convicts up for parole who are seeking jobs. Listeners are urged to telegram job offers to the prison. This surrealistic idea was either too dumb to ever get on the air, or was innovative programming. Warden Creighton Donohue (a ficticious name for Warden Duffy) describes prison life. The San Quentin Prison Orchestra plays "Say When," with a vocal by the San Quentin Quartet. The band really swings out on "Pennsylvania 6-5000." The convicts interviewed included Lester Hawkins (receiving and selling stolen property, and vocalist with the band!), and George Winters (manslaughter). See cat. #64373 and #64374 for similar, but not identical auditions. The program ends with a system cue for "The Consolidated Broadcasting System." |
