Title:

Ed Wynn, The Fire Chief

Type:

Comedy-Variety: Vaudeville-style Slapstick

Broadcast History:

April 26, 1932 to June 4, 1935. NBC. 22 episodes are extant.

The brief run of this show is a comment on the mismatch of the talents of a very good vaudeville star and the new medium radio. Ed Wynn was a visual comedian. This translated poorly to radio. One of the great clown of his day.
