Eddie Cantor Objected
Eddie Cantor was the central figure of a hectic radio squabble in the U.S. recently, which resulted in a recording of "America’s Famous Fathers" being withdrawn from release over an extensive radio network, an hour or so before the show was scheduled to go on the air. Cantor claims to have agreed to appear in the recording on the understanding that it was a sustained programme, but later found that it was: being extensively advertised as sponsored by a leading business firm. Cantor’s own sponsors were furious, and only by the recording being withdrawn was action at law avoided.
