Athanael

Trumpeter from the 1945 film The Horn Blows at Midnight. He plays a midnight radio show of sleepy-time music sponsored by Paradise Coffee, "the coffee that puts you to sleep." And when he falls asleep, he dreams he's an angel playing in Heaven's Orchestra, and is sent to play the trumpet that heralds the end of the world (Revelations 8:6-12).

Played by comedian Jack Benny, who turned the film's lack of success into a running joke on his radio show.

A version of the script was also a November 29, 1953 episode of the TV anthology show Omnibus, where Jack Benny reprised his role.
