Plot | : | + This show was broadcast on 14 Aug 1945. It is a combination of music and words and it is well worth listening to. Just take a look at the amazing list of stars making an appearance in this ninety minute special; Bing Crosby, Dinah Shore, Jimmy Durante, Bette Davis, Marlene Dietrich, Burgess Meredith, Ginny Simms, Frank Sinatra, Lucille Ball, Cary Grant, Loretta Young, Lena Horne, Johnny Mercer, Edward G. Robinson, Orson Welles, Danny Kaye, Herbert Marshall, Claudette Colbert, and Ed Gardner. Before the stirring Command Performance theme at the start of the show the following words are read very movingly. Oh God thou Heavenly Father Grant us peace, thy most precious gift Oh thou eternal source of peace And enable us to be a messenger of peace Unto the people of the earth Bless our country That it may ever be a stronghold of peace And the advocate of peace in the council of nations May contentment reign within its borders Health and happiness within its homes Strengthen the bond of friendship and fellowship Between all the inhabitants of our land Plant virtue in every soul And may thy love of thy name hallow every home and every heart Praise be thou oh Lord Giver of peace Command Performance was referred to as “the best war time program in America” and this hour and a half special is a compilation of the very best that the show had to offer. I hope you get as much pleasure, and hope, out of listening to this wonderful show as I did today. |
