As_early_as_1936，he_had_a_weekly_radio_audience_of_about_twenty_million_people.So said the Museum of Broadcast Communications in Chicago.For almost twenty years，in the 1930s and 1940s，Fred Allen had a radio show called “Allens Alley”. His career also included television and Broadway shows. Like many performers of his time，he started in vaudeville in the early 1900s. Vaudeville shows presented all kinds of entertainment.He began as a juggler，someone who can keep several objects in the air at the same time. But he was presented as the “Worlds Worst Juggler”. After that he performed as a comedian. Vaudeville comedy acts usually contained a series of disconnected jokes. But during the Great Depression，Fred Allen had the idea of creating a series of complete stories and situations.Every week，on the radio，he would visit an imaginary place，“Allens Alley”，where he would talk with characters like Senator Claghorn. Senator Claghorn was a politician who talked a lot but never said anything. But some of Fred Allens funniest programs were about his supposed longtime dispute with another radio star，Jack Benny.As a young man，Jack Benny played the violin in a vaudeville theater in his home state of Illinois. When the United States entered World War ，he joined the Navy. He played his violin for other sailors. But the sailors liked his jokes better than his music. So Jack Benny decided to become a comedian.In the early 1930s Jack Benny got his own radio show. It lasted for twentythree years. Listeners loved it when Jack Benny and Fred Allen would say bad things about each other on their shows. But two comedians could still be friendsor at least friendly enough to perform together. In 1950，on Jack Bennys radio program，they did a skit about an early visit to their talent agent.1The underlined sentence is given to show _.Athere were few people interested in radio programs in 1936Bthe population in the USA in 1936 was rather smallerCFred Allen was fairly popular in the USA in 1936DFred Allen kept in touch with the audience in 19362Which of the following can be used to describe Allen?AGifted.
