Mary Hartline sharing Breakfast with Tony Owens

Don McNeill's Breakfast Club was a long-running morning variety show on NBC Blue Network/ABC radio (and briefly on television) originating in Chicago, Illinois. Hosted by Don McNeill, the radio program ran from June 23, 1933, through December 27, 1968. The show's structure was tightly formatted to fit the needs of its audience, who could wake up and eat breakfast while it was on, and then leave for work or school. Every quarter-hour came the "Call to Breakfast". The program showcased many musicians and comedians. Photograph by Mo/Bee Photo Service. Jefferson 5422, Chicago. Original signature by Mary Hartline.
