JOAN DAVIS SHOW - Comedy
     
Cast:     Joan Davis (1907 - 1961)

Popular radio and television comedienne Joan Davis (b. June 1907 in 
St. Paul, Minnesota) was blessed with one of those rare voices ideal
for show business and an innate ability to use it.  She excelled at 
vaudeville comedy as a girl. With the waning popularity of vaudeville 
format in the 1920s and the rise of film, Davis and her small family 
including husband-comedian Si Wells and daughter moved to California 
in search of stardom. She was briefly contracted to the Fox studio, 
but was more successful as a freelance artist and eventually led to 
the creation of "The Joan Davis Show" that dubbed her the 'Queen of 
Comedy.'

      Davis originally appeared on the Rudy Vallee Show, and 
quickly became a regular wacky female wolf after Rudy’s heart. 
When Rudy Vallee left his show in 1943, Joan Davis took over with 
great success. It was obvious that she was a hit. With a thousand 
strikes a minute, The Joan Davis Show will hit you hard right on 
the funny bone!
