- Minnesota history time once again.

Been a few weeks since we first asked our current question, so let's refresh our memories.

We asked you about a famous vaudeville performer, who successfully transitioned to the silver screen and in 1934 was featured in an ad for a well-known Minnesota brand.

But that wasn't quite enough information the first time around and 'cause nobody had the right answer.

So we had to ask the question again and the producer did add some hints, including pointing out that the actress in question was part of a famous dancing duo and that the ad was for a Betty Crocker product.

The additional info still wasn't enough for these two.

- [Caller 1] This is Mindy and Aaron from St. Paul.

And we would like to answer the Index File question.

We were recently in Grand Rapids, Minnesota.

We were at the Judy Garland Museum and we think the answer is Judy Garland for Betty Crocker.

Her name was Francis Gum at the time.

Thanks, bye.

- Yeah, Judy Garland, not the actress we saw.

Now usually we play a variety of wrong answers, but all of the rest of you got it right.

Here's one of the producer's favorite answers from one of our regular callers.

- [Caller 2] Alright, you made it way too easy.

I feel like I'm cheating.

The answer would be Ginger Rogers and the product she was advertising for was Betty Crocker, probably Bread.

Oh, I just feel cheap.

This is Jeff from Excelsior.

Love the show.

- Yeah, too easy Jeff.

The famous actress we saw was Ginger Rogers.

Here's the ad for Betty Crocker with Rogers proclaiming that bread helps her keep her weight down and her vitality up.

You could even send away for a free cookbook at the bottom of the ad and leads us to remember the days when you had to wait more than a day or two for your packages to arrive by way of snail mail.

Have just enough time left for some show ending music and I have a treat for you.

This week, back in 2015, we did the show from the NPR booth at the State Fair.

Charlie Parr joined us for a couple of tunes.

Take a listen.

We'll see you next week and be careful.
