The Baby Snooks Show - The Opera

·26 min·2 clips
Charles Harding Blair begins his lecture on bees to the ladies' auxiliary, unaware his model beehive has been swapped.
This classic radio comedy episode features two segments: first, the Higgins family hosts the pompous author Charles Harding Blair, leading to chaos when Baby Snooks interferes with his model beehive; second, Daddy takes a reluctant Snooks to the opera, resulting in more comedic mishaps. The show is framed by patriotic messages about veterans' benefits.

Old-radio comedy that moves from tribute patter to bees, opera, and family chaos.
