Tom, Dick and Harry

with George Murphy, Alan Marshall and Burgess Meredith
This show explains "for the men and women in the armed forces of the United Nations, Special Service presents Your Radio Theater".  It has the same format as the Lux Radio Theater with the same host, Mr. Cecil B. Demille but Harry James plays the trumpet and Helen Forrest sings where the Lux soap ads would have been.
