Description

This radio show brings to life an old adventure story from the 1890s. In the story, the main female character gets tied to a piece of wood and pushed toward a spinning saw. The show also covers the sinking of the Maine in 1898. Actor Walter Huston plays President Theodore Roosevelt. Director D. W. Griffith talks about when he first hired actress Mary Pickford back in 1910. Singer Al Jolson performs "Save Me, Sister" on the radio for the very first time. He also does a big musical number singing "Sonny Boy" from the movie "The Singing Fool."

"Now and Then" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles, released on 2 November 2023. Dubbed "the last Beatles song", it appeared on a double A-side single, paired with a new stereo remix of the band's first single, "Love Me Do" (1962), with the two serving as "bookends" to the band's history. The song is included on the expanded re-issue of the 1973 compilation 1967–1970, released on 10 November 2023. On this day, the single reached number one on the UK Singles Chart.
