Very rare kinescope films of The Kate Smith Hour, a live weekly variety show with guest stars from Hollywood and Broadway in comedy and musical skits.  These shows are from Kate’s daily and weekly variety show and includes the famous “Cracker Barrel” forum where important persons, usually politicians, were grilled by the announcer, Ted Collins. Six rare episodes. Some of these are half-hour episodes, but the show was still titled "The Kate Smith Hour." God Bless America!
