Musical revue The Show Is On, starring Beatrice Lillie and Bert Lahr, plays at The Winter Garden Theatre, Broadway, New York City, USA, where it will run for 236 performances.Variety magazine in the USA reports that, "John McCormack having retired and given up singing forever and a day, duly appeared on the Bing Crosby Kraft Music Hall hour and sang a couple of numbers. Numbers weren't important nor, for that matter, the fact that he'd come out of retirement at his very first moment after commencing it. What counted was that the Irishman was in rare good humour and had himself a royal good time all through the programme, clowning with Crosby, Bob Burns (sic) and Lionel Stander. It was good fun throughout and if McCormack really means it about quitting the concert stage but wants to shift to some other branch of the biz he might consider being an MC. He could get away with it."
