On its second trip of the year, Baltimore gave Breakfast Club a warm welcome in more ways than one. Six hours before air time, fire destroyed the stage curtain and all of Breakfast Club’s broadcast equipment. Between the hours of 3 and 8 a.m., Station WFBR and Breakfast Club did the im¬ possible — rented a new theater and found enough engineering and stage equipment — to put on the show as scheduled. An audience of 2,000 was treated to one of Breakfast Club’s best performances. Another 12,000 saw the show in Boston, Hartford, Washington, Philadelphia and New York. In October, the show moved permanently to the Morrison Hotel. After auditioning more than 200 girl vocalists, Peggy Taylor of Alham¬ bra, Calif., was selected in July to replace Patsy Lee. O-Cedar and Bobbi-White Rain replaced Jell-O as sponsors. Don began enrolling babies born during the Breakfast Club hour in an exclusive Baby Club. By working all night and using borrowed equipment, the Break¬ fast Club qang with the help of Station WFBR were able to broad¬ cast from another theater. • Jimmy Darou (see page 19) and his wife were greeted like old friends when they flew in from Montreal to attend a Radio City broadcast in April. 44
