Boris Karloff Month Day 10: Information Please with Jan Struther

Welcome back to Boris Karloff month! Today I'm wrapping up my look at Karloff's appearances on the radio series Information Please with an episode from May 17, 1943. This time Karloff is joined by fellow special guest Jan Struther (author of Mrs. Miniver). In an interesting development, Karloff and Struther were in Hollywood while the program was being broadcast from New York; Struther uses Harpo Marx's horn to let moderator Clifton Fadiman know when she has an answer, while Karloff performs his famous growl from Frankenstein to get Fadiman's attention! Karloff has a lot of fun with the growls as the show progresses! You can hear it at archive.org by clicking here!
