This country variety show included country, hillbilly and folk musical acts. The show saw great, fast success and fans of all ages soon attended from around the world for a chance to see the spectacle.

In just a few short years, The Grand Ole Opry grew from a simple 2oo seat studio to the 2,ooo seat Nashville War Memorial Auditorium.
