Ginger sings "Shoo-Shoo-Baby" during the show. The video below presents the song with pictures of Ginger from fan magazines found in the Media History Digital Library (http://mediahistoryproject.org/fanmagazines/).
Bob Hope did a lot of radio shows, for the troops and otherwise, but this is the only one I've found with Ginger Rogers. The Bob Hope Chevy Show, that the two appeared in for U.S. troops in Alaska on December 28, 1956, is also on archive.org at:
