The name Leslie Townes Hope is not the most familiar to us. Born in Eltham, London on May 29th, 1903 he and his family emigrated to the United States aboard the SS Philadelphia before moving to Cleveland, Ohio.Although he entered showbusiness in the 1920s it was only in 1928 that he changed his name to the one and only Bob Hope.Stints in Vaudeville and then Broadway were followed by his radio debut in 1932 and feature films in 1938. 1938 was a banner year for Bob Hope as it was also the debut season for the eventual decade running smash-hit radio show: The Pepsodent Show. Despite the sponsors name getting the billing this was Hope’s show. His opening monologue was the result of his hiring from his own pocket – he had an extravagant salary from the sponsor - of a team of 8 writers to write top notch jokes and skits. His comic timing turned him into a sensation. The show was so popular that it had its pick of the best of show business stars. Everyone wanted in.Now its time to cut the talk and get ready for laughs. It’s time for Bob Hope and his guests.
Judy Garland reprises her role as Dorothy as she and her dog, Toto, are caught up in a tornado in their hometown of Kansas. It takes them to a strange and beautiful land called Oz. Dorothy learns that the only way home is with the help of a wizard she will find if she follows the Yellow Brick Road. Along this journey, she meets some memorable friends and foes, including travel partners who also have reason to meet the wizard, namely the Lion, who is seeking courage; the Tin Man, who needs a heart; and the scarecrow, who is missing a brain. Their journey is an enthralling adventure with many magical moments in this charming story, originally written by L. Frank Baum.
