context_page_description: The Palmolive Hour was a radio concert hour in the US, sponsored by Palmolive Soap and broadcast on NBC from December 9, 1927, to July 29, 1931. The Palmolive Musical Stock Company offered a mix of jazz, show tunes and opera selections.
  The program usually opened with a duet by Frank Munn and soprano Virginia Rea. To call attention to the sponsor's product, they did not appear on the program under their own names but instead were introduced each week as Paul Oliver and Olive Palmer. Contralto Elizabeth Lennox was featured in duets with Rea. Gus Haenschen led the orchestra, with Frank Black at the piano.
