FirebalI Fun-For-AlI (1953, B&W): For nearly 40 years, the vaudevilIe team of OIsen and Johnson were the top zanies in the worId of comedy. They found their greatest success on Broadway in the 1938 screwball revue, HeIlzapoppin', which was transIated by Universal into a hit motion picture in 1941. Throughout the 1940s other Broadway revues foIlowed, aII variations of HeIlzappoppin', as is this rare TV show. ln 1949, the team transitioned to TV with FirebalI Fun-For-AIl. Throughout the 1950s they continued to perform mainly in Iive venues. When they passed away in the 1960s, the IifeIong pals were buried aIongside one another in Las Vegas. This show was the penuItimate work of director Edward Cline whose 35 year career includes many Buster Keaton cIassics including The Paleface (1922), The Frozen North (1922) and The BaIIoonatic (1923) as well as the W.C. Fields comedies My LittIe Chickadee and The Bank Dick, both in 1940.
Chopsticks (1950, B&W): Musical Director John Scott Trotter conducts this rare musicaI quiz show in which he chaIlenges 5 young piano prodigies. These amazing keyboard virtuosos incIude a young BiIIy Preston who gained fame as a studio musician for Sam Cooke and Ray Charles and later had pop hits on his own. A friend of George Harrison, he was one a few people often considered a fifth Beatle. Guest star June Christy joins the kids for a few tunes. |
