Charlie gives his first radio broadcast at WOR in Newark, NJ to promote A Woman Of Paris, October, 1923. “My friends,” he began, “this is all way beyond me. I’m glad you can’t see me—I am nervous as a witch.” In the course of the broadcast, which lasted half an hour, he told the listeners that he was experimenting with the possibilities of voice on the air. He then played the violin and saxophone and did some impersonations.
