The GOLDBERGS The success of this program is credited to Gertrude Berg, who is the originator, writer and creator of the character, Molly Goldberg. The part of Jake is played by James R. Waters a veteran actor who played in “Abie’s Irish Rose.” Sammy and Rosie are played by Alfred Corn and Rosalyn Silver who made their radio debut with Children’s Hour. WEBER and FIELDS For over fifty years these famous come¬ dians have been entertaining the Amer¬ ican Public in vaudeville theatres from coast to coast. The characters of “Mike and Meyer” were almost a myth that only our parents and grandparents had the privilege of knowing until radio snatched this memory of the past and brought it to life in the act that is now making Weber and Fields as famous to radio fans as their vaudeville act was to theatregoers in the days of Koster & Beils. Weber and Fields made their first ap¬ pearance on the stage as black-face comedians at the old Bowery Music Hall. The act was not well received so it was taken off, but the manager gave them a chance to reappear as a Dutch Comedy act, which won immediate ap¬ proval and placed Weber and Fields among the foremost entertainers.
