Fibber McGee and Company - February 7, 1939 - Faulty Window Shade

This episode is from the period when the show was billed as "Fibber McGee and Company".

This was because Marian Jordan, who played Molly, was on an 18 month hiatus from the series for health reasons. Frequently, there was a female guest star to add some pizazz - often comedienne ZaSu Pitts, who appears in this episode.

These shows have the same clever writing from Don Quinn as the rest of the series. This episode starts with a broken window shade and takes off from there. While Marian Jordan's presence as Molly is missed, the episodes without her were a bit more fanciful, with McGee joining the army, running a store, etc.
