Bill Thompson as he appeared in 1934, getting his start in Chicago and the Breakfast Club. "Doctor" Russell Pratt, 1935 ACTS.. The first year on Breakfast Club Don McNeill combined his own wit with that of the orchestra for comedy touches. Thus, he often referred to the show as "a program of half music and half wit.” Then the network discovered that Breakfast Club was the perfect place to "show-case” its talent. In 1934 Marian and Jim Jordan tried out a "Chickie and Toots” routine. You know them now as Fibber McGee and Molly. Bill Thompson (Mr. Wimple) and Fields and Hall were introduced to network audiences the same year. Russell Pratt, one of the Three Doctors, appeared in 1935. Aunt Fanny (Fran Allison) and Sam Cowling of The Three Romeos, made their debut in 1937. They still entertain Breakfast Clubbers.
