Gambol of Stars

This exquisite 1941 program commemorates the second of two events, sponsored by the Guild and the American Federation of Radio Artists ("AFRA" 11 years before it became "AFTRA"). The previous "Gambol of Stars," held March 14, 1940, was sponsored by the Guild, Actors' Equity, American Federation of Radio Artists, American Guild of Musical Artists, and American Guild of Variety Artists, and intended as a show of solidarity (and possible merger) in the face of fighting off the most recent attempt of George Browne and Willie Bioff of the I.A.T.S.E. to take over ALL performer unions. By the end of 1941, the United States entered World War II, and there were no more "Gambols." The Guild has both programs, but the 1941 has the more attractive cover.
