The Collier Hour

On December 1, 1929, The Collier Hour listeners heard Sir Harry Lauder, as noted in this ad from the Enna Jettick Shoe Company promoting his appearance on its NBC Blue program. The text indicates that The Collier Hour --which was pre-empted that week to give Sir Lauder more airtime-- was also known as Collier's Radio Hour.

The Collier Hour, also known as Collier's Radio Hour, broadcast on the NBC Blue Network from 1927 to 1932,[1] was radio's first major dramatic anthology.
