User:Teblick/Elsa Maxwell’s Party Line

Elsa Maxwell's Party Line is an American old-time radio talk show. It was broadcast on the Blue Network from January 2, 1942, to June 26, 1942, and then was carried on Mutual from 1943 to 1947.

Format and Personnel
Elsa Maxwell, "reputed to be the world's best party giver", was the host of this 15-minute program, which featured her telling stories about celebrities whom she knew.

One ongoing segment during the Blue Network broadcasts focused on Maxwell's efforts to lose weight. Once a week, she weighed on the air, providing regular reports of her progress.

An item in the August 1946 issue of Tune In magazine described the program as having "limited appeal, but more exciting than many daytime shows."

Graham McNamee was the announcer for the shows heard on the Blue Network, and Marvin Best announced for those on Mutual.
