Recreation of the popular radio show "The Maxwell House Show Boat" offers us a variety show of singers, including a syrupy duet version of "Please" and two white actors in blackface. They are billed as "Molasses and January", and do a routine about a horse race. It won't play well to a modern audience, alas.
