Page "Quiet, Please" Paragraph 27

Several episodes blurred the distinction between performer and fictional character: In a few episodes ( such as " Is This Murder "), Ernest Chappell portrayed a man named " Ernest ".

In " Where Do You Get Your Ideas?

" Cooper played himself, while Chappell portrayed a drunken barfly, pestering the writer.

In the episode " 12 to 5 " ( broadcast April 12, 1948 ), Chappell plays a disk jockey who delivers an on-air commercial for " Chappell's Apples " ( as well as a portion of the César Franck theme ).
