The Bell Telephone Hour

Be sure to hear it tomorrow as presented by The Railroad Hour.

Also tomorrow evening over most of these stations, The Telephone Hour welcomes Lily Pons, famous Metropolitan Opera star.

As the initial Telephone Hour guest of 1952, Ms. Pons continues the schedule of appearances that have made her one of the favorite soloists heard over this distinguished program.

Ms. Pons will present as her featured selection an aria for which she is particularly noted, the lovely Bell Song from the opera Lakmé, while Donald Voorhees and The Telephone Hour orchestra lists among their pieces the Gay Festival at Baghdad by Rimsky-Korsakov.

And I know that here there was a lot more of that you would see on Johnny Carson.

There was also a show called The Bell Telephone Hour, which I think was in the 60s, which was kind of a variety kind of show, but had the top opera singers of the day that were singing at the Met come on and sing their piece.

And there's some amazing videos on YouTube of some great singers at The Bell Telephone Hour.

There's so many times that I say, you have to go see this particular one because it's so good.

And now that just doesn't happen.
