This Saturday on Vintage Classic Radio's "Saturday Matinee," we start with the "Archie Andrews" show where the episode titled “Free Movie Tickets,” originally broadcasted on September 25, 1948, brings laughter and chaos. Archie Andrews, voiced by Bob Hastings, finds himself the lucky recipient of two movie tickets, leading to a humorous conflict as both Betty Cooper and Veronica Lodge, played by Rosemary Rice and Gloria Mann respectively, vie for the chance to be his date. Jughead Jones, portrayed by Harlan Stone, and Archie's mother, voiced by Alice Yourman, add to the comic mix with their own quirky antics. Following the comedic start, we dive into a star-studded "Command Performance" episode from December 25, 1948, guest-hosted by Bob Hope.

The matinee concludes with "Skippy Hollywood Theatre," presenting the episode "High Polish" from September 17, 1948. In this episode, Jane Russell stars in a gripping narrative about a young shoeshine boy in Hollywood who dreams of a bigger life amidst the stars and studio lights.
