Bob Hope Show Errors

Thanks to Kurt Schriever for assistance with many of these

391210 Taking Peter to Toyland and 391212 Taking Peter to Toyland were different encodes of the same recording. Correct date unknown b/c it is probably a rehearsal. Broadcast date was 391212, but it's not known if the recording is from the broadcast date.

410207 - 098 - Beethoven with Bing Crosby Doris Day was 48-12-08. Beethoven routine re-used. See below.

41-05-06 Muroc Field was 45-02-13. There were numerous war references and the songs "Don't Fence Me In" and "Sleigh Ride in July" place the show at 1944 or later.

41-06-10 from Cleveland was 46-03-19. Show mentions wartime restrictions are ending and Cleveland's 150th anniversary which was 1946.

420317 - Guest: Jerry Colonna was 42-01-20 Guest - Edward Everett Horton

42-05-05 Great Lakes Naval Training Center was different date From Stockton Air Field

430525 From Stockton Air Field and 440525 From Stockton Air Field were the same show. 1943 is too early and May 25, 1944 was a Thursday whereas Bob Hope was on Tuesdays. Correct date should be 44-10-17.

Bluefield Daily Telegraph, Bluefield, West Virginia; October 17, 1944 says "Bob Hope will take his campbusters to the Army Air Forces base at Stockton, California for his broadcast tonight." For the same date, Oct 17, 1944, the Wisconsin State Journal shows 9 p. m. Bob Hope (WIBA); from U.S. Army Air Forces base, Stockton, Calif. For Oct 17, the New York Times shows Guest: Frances Langford. The show mentions Bob Hope on the cover of Look magazine. He was on the cover of the Oct. 31 1944 issue. Issues of magazines usually come out earlier than the date listed on the cover. Note: There is a correctly dated 430525 from Fort Wheeler, Georgia which is a different show.

44-02-15 - 215 - From Santa Ana Separation Center w Bing Crosby was 45-10-23

44-10-17 Camp Wheeler s/b unknown date. Bob Hope was in Stockton on that date. Camp Wheeler show is a rebroadcast by the War Department (which was renamed in 1947 to Defense Department), so the show was originally broadcast in the 1940s.
