30 minute comedy/variety show
Avalon was a mainly western themed variety show until January 7, 1939. At that point Avalon Time's claim to fame is that it was the major break for comedian Red Skelton. When Red Skelton joined the cast it became much more comedy oriented. When he left the show, on December 20, 1940, it couldn't maintain its audience and went off the air. However, the cast, orchestra and sponsor revamped the show, bringing it back as Show Boat, which remained on the air until April 1941. Cliff Arquette replaced Skelton as the star comic of the show. Don McNeill was the host throughout.
Other stars include:
Del King, Red Foley, Kitty O'Neil, The Neighborhood Boys, Curt Massey,
Singers: Dick Todd, Jenette Davis,
Marlin Hart, Tommy Mack and Bud Vandover
Cliff Arquette
Host Don McNeill
Orchestra: Phil Davis, and Bob Strong
The reason it was called Avalon time is that the advertiser was Avalon Cigarettes
