Play The Baby Snooks Show on Radio Days

Fanny Brice, a Ziegfeld Follies star, created the bratty Baby Snooks in vaudeville and played her on radio for years on Good News and Maxwell House Coffee Time before Snooks got her own show. Hanley Stafford was her long-suffering Daddy, Lancelot Higgins, and Philip Rapp wrote for her. Brice wore a baby-doll dress for the studio audience. The show ended when she died on May 29, 1951, just hours before a broadcast.
