The Baby Doll Polka Club (Commercial, 1979)

Here's a commercial for The Baby Doll Polka Club - at 7315 South Western Avenue - Eddie and Irene Korosa's bar that featured live Polka music every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. This spot aired regularly during "Eddie Korosa's Polka Party" on WCIU Channel 26.

She also advertises their radio show Sundays from 4-6pm on WOPA AM 1490. According to Wikipedia, "In the early 70s Sonderling Broadcasting bought the station WOPA-AM. The call letters WOPA stood for The Oak Park Arms, a hotel on Oak Park Avenue where the station occupied the penthouse. Despite having a signal limited to the west side of Chicago WOPA was a goldmine for Sonderling who brokered time to a plethora of colorful African-American entrepreneurs and entertainers. The FM had one of the better signals in the market operating off of the John Hancock Tower on the near north side."

Voiceover by Irene Korosa.

This aired on local Chicago TV on Saturday, June 30th 1979.
