Charlie McCarthy and Freddie Martin

Sunday, October 3, 1937

Ding references Charlie McCarty, who I believe is Charlie McCarthy, the dummy puppet of ventriloquist Edgar Bergen on “The Chase and Sanborn Hour.” I found an episode listed for 10-3-37 that featured guests Sally Eilers and Rudy Vallee (guest host) in a book called, “Radio Series Scripts, 1930-2001: A Catalog of the American Radio Archives.”

Ding also references hearing Freddie Martin (I believe this is actually Freddy Martin.) I am trying to find a song named, “Josephine,” which I believe is Ding and Dorothy’s song.
