July 12, 1943: Colorful Quotations and Musical Cues with Jan Struther
In this July 12, 1943, episode of <i>Information Please</i>, Clifton Fadiman hosts the show from San Francisco’s War Memorial Opera House, capping off a season of patriotic war bond tours. The panel includes regulars Franklin P. Adams, John Kieran, and Oscar Levant, joined by the charming guest Jan Struther, best known as the creator of Mrs. Miniver.<br /><br />Together, they tackle an array of questions with wit and brilliance—from literary quotes involving color combinations like “purple and gold” to musical themes inspired by chimes and taxi horns. Struther brings her literary flair to the mix, while Levant offers his sharp musical insight and humor. The episode also delves into poetic toolkits, famous fictional characters aboard boats, and a quiz on parental literary and theatrical duos.<br /><br />The evening ends on a reflective note as the panel bids farewell for an eight-week summer hiatus, celebrating their successful bond-raising tour across major American cities. Join the experts for one last rich blend of intellect and entertainment before their well-earned vacation on <i>Information Please</i>!
