The Majestic Theater of the Air, aka The Majestic Hour, was a musical radio program which aired in during the late 1920s and early 1930s, originally broadcast on Sunday evenings. The series was sponsored by Chicago's Grigsby-Grunow Company, manufacturers of Majestic Radios.
When Grigsby-Grunow expanded their broadcast to reach the full CBS network on January 6, 1929, the stars of the program were Eddie Cantor and Ruth Etting.[1]
In an August 1929 program, Wendell Hall presented the songwriters J. Fred Coots and Benny Davis singing some of their past and present song hits. The tenor Redferne Hollinshead contributed five selections with an additional two songs by Edna Sedley.[2]
Orchestra music was by Arnold Johnson and His Majestic Orchestra.
The series later moved to NBC.
