Special guest Charles Winninger: "I'm going to do a song I sang in 1895"
Winninger will appear in a TV version of The Philadelphia Story one week from tonight on CBS. He became famous as "Cap'n Andy Hawks" from the musical Show Boat, a role he played in the original 1927 stage production, the 1932 revival, and the 1936 film version. (Frequent Secret guest Joe E Brown played the role in the more famous 1951 movie.) He was so identified with the role that he frequently played thinly-disguised versions of it in the years that followed, most notable when he starred as "Captain Henry" in the radio variety series The Maxwell House Show Boat (1932-1937). As a Wisconsin youth (he was eleven years old in 1895) Winninger toured with his family, a popular Midwestern theatrical troupe.
