And Everything Nice is an American fashion-themed television program that was broadcast on the DuMont Television Network from March 8, 1949, through January 9, 1950. The program was hosted by Maxine Barratt.
Overview
Barrat chatted with guests and presented fashion tips for women of the 1940s. The program, produced and distributed by DuMont, aired live:
- Tuesdays at 7 pm ET on most DuMont affiliates during the 1948-1949 television season;
