Recollections at Thirty was created in the 1950s by the National Broadcasting Company on its thirtieth anniversary as a special program to celebrate many “old time” radio broadcasts from the 1930s. Looking back to the early days of radio, the program “relives the radio events of the past,” highlighting the stars, songs, and great moments in sports and special events from the 1930s. With a great variety of wonderful performances, this show includes such great stars as Sophie Tucker, Al Jolson, Red Skelton, Rudy Vallee, Lynn Fontanne and Alfred Lunt, Connie Boswell, Irene Dunne, Fats Waller, as well as Dinah Shore and Judy Garland’s debuts.
