Adrian Michaelis served as the Program Director for The Standard Hour, a radio broadcast program that originated from a collaboration of the Standard Oil Company and the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra. The program premiered in 1926, launched two complementary programs (the Standard School Broadcast in 1935 and The Standard Television Broadcast in 1952) and garnered national attention and accolades, including a Peabody award in 1952. This exhibit includes images of performers who participated in the various programs.
