  • American Heritage Center
    UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING AMERICAN HERITAGE CENTER GUIDE TO ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY RESOURCES Child actress Mary Jane Irving with Bessie Barriscale and Ben Alexander in the 1918 silent film Heart of Rachel. Mary Jane Irving papers, American Heritage Center. Compiled by D. Claudia Thompson and Shaun A. Hayes 2009 PREFACE When the University of Wyoming began collecting the papers of national entertainment figures in the 1970s, it was one of only a handful of repositories actively engaged in the field. Business and industry, science, family history, even print literature were all recognized as legitimate fields of study while prejudice remained against mere entertainment as a source of scholarship. There are two arguments to be made against this narrow vision. In the first place, entertainment is very much an industry. It employs thousands. It requires vast capital expenditure, and it lives or dies on profit. In the second place, popular culture is more universal than any other field. Each individual’s experience is unique, but one common thread running throughout humanity is the desire to be taken out of ourselves, to share with our neighbors some story of humor or adventure. This is the basis for entertainment. The Entertainment Industry collections at the American Heritage Center focus on the twentieth century. During the twentieth century, entertainment in the United States changed radically due to advances in communications technology. The development of radio made it possible for the first time for people on both coasts to listen to a performance simultaneously. The delivery of entertainment thus became immensely cheaper and, at the same time, the fame of individual performers grew.

  • American Radio Collection, 1931-1972, Collection (S0256)
    S0256 American Radio Collection, 1931-1972 Collection 256 514 Audio Tapes This collection is available at The State Historical Society of Missouri. If you would like more information, please contact us at [email protected]. This collection is stored off site. Please allow 3-5 business days for retrieval. The American Radio Collection was donated to WHMC by the Thomas Jefferson Library. All tapes are reel-to-reel. All programs listed in this inventory are alphabetized by the first letter of each program, except for articles. Programs titled by a performers name are alphabetized by the performer’s first name: e.g., Bob Hope, Jack Benny, Jimmy Durante, Bing Crosby, etc. Wherever possible, programs are headed with a brief comment on their nature and the years they were broadcast. Introduction to American Radio Collection, 1931-1972, Collection 256 The American Radio Collection, composed of 514 reel-to-reel tapes, is a valuable piece of American social and cultural history. Tapes in the collection cover the early years of commercial broadcast radio through its golden years to the decline of network radio in the early 1960s. Today commercial radio aims its programs at specific audiences, listeners with different interests in music, politics, religion, and sports. News, commentary, and call-in- shows try to win loyal audiences to this “niche programming,” as it is sometimes called. Today, broadcast radio rarely seeks to appeal to a broad audience of varying ages, genders, ethnicities, occupations, or geographic locations. Garrison Keillor’s Prairie Home Companionis a rare live broadcast aimed at a national audience but it attracts only a small audience, largely white and middle class.

Tommy Dorsey moved into the Paramount Theatre, brother Jimmy opened at the Roxy, Charlie Spivak started at the Hotel Pennsylvania and Xavier Cugat took over at the Waldorf- Astoria.1 Vaudeville Reviews Paramount, New York Reviewed December 22, 19432 “The regular Dorsey boys and girls are well quipped to put on a show but this time thy get a hand, or rather, two handfuls of drumsticks from Gene Krupa. Who is sitting in for this date. Deal was clinched just prior to the opening, with time for only on rehearsal. The afternoon dailies picked it up as feature copy and by opening night word was out that Krupa was in. And by opening night Krupa was batting exactly 1,000 on the skins. Dorsey opened his layout with “Hallelujah” and the spotlight on the drums, and followed with his standard “Song of India.” Not a word was uttered on stage up to that point, but the thunderous applause made it plain that no identification of the drummer was necessary. Two songs from the four-girl Sentimentalists caused letdown. Gals sing well and voices blend harmoniously, but smarter arrangements are needed to sell the quartet. Krupa was then handed a solo spot in which h practically tore his drums apart and the house down. Had to encore with another demonstration of the ultimate in drumnastics, selling the most intricate rhythms imaginable as though they were jelly apples.

Without question the greatest part- nership in the history of vaudeville, radio and television, Burns and Allen made their radio debut not in America but in England, on the BBC, in June of 1929. They were first heard on CBS with Guy Lombardo in 1932 and soon thereafter The Burns and Allen Show became a radio perennial, making a happy transition to television on October 12, 1950. One of the radio highspots of 1933 was Gracie's search for her supposedly lost brother, which required that she pop up unexpectedly on any CBS program.
