Fred Allen Show 40 04 17 From Nipper To Nobody

News of The Week reports on New York City's loan shark racket. Fred jokes with Portland about Jack Benny's new film, Buck Benny Rides Again. Fred interviews a man who makes clothes for dogs. The question for The Round Table is "In What Form Do You Most Enjoy A Good Story?" Peter Van Steeden insists Fred celebrate Peter's 5th anniversary on the program, so Fred has The Mighty Allen Art Players perform a play called "From Nipper To Nobody," or "Van Steeden Didn't Curse The Day He Was Born, But Everyone Else Did." 

This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
