Just call me Ace Freeperette!

I don't remember Easy Aces though I can recall most old time radio. Maybe it was because we kids had to listen to the programs mom and dad wanted to hear as we all sat in the front room every night doing whatever we were doing but still listening to every word on the old Philco radio....or was it a Crosley?

Here are all the surviving Easy Aces episodes, as also the surviving installments of a later updated version the couple tried in 1948, mr. ace and JANE (the spelling was Goodman Ace's idea) . . .

Some more of the classic Janeisms . . .

You shouldn't judge a book by its lover
I wasn't under the impersonation you meant me
I'll be ready in a jitney
You could have knocked me over with a fender!
(to which her wry husband might reply, sotto voce, "Hmmmm, there's an idea . . . ")
I felt bad for those people in those old testament houses
Now, there's no use crying over spoiled milk
I'm completely uninhabited
After all, I
am his awfully-wedded wife
I've always had the smell of goose grease in my blood. I've always wanted to see my name up in tights
He blew up higher than a hall
I look like the wrath of grapes
He has me sitting on pins and cushions waiting
After all, I
am a member of the weeper sex
I don't smoke or drink, I'm a totalitarian
I always say a wife has to take the bitter with the better
The way things are these days, a girl's gotta play hard to take.

Goodman and Jane Ace, 1935 . . .
