  • "Command Performance"
    “Command Performance” (Episode No. 21)—Bob Hope, Master of Ceremonies (July 7, 1942) Added to the National Registry: 2005 Essay by Cary O’Dell Bob Hope Soldiers line up for a “Command Performance” performance Radio’s unique “Command Performance” series was the brainchild of producer Louis G. Cowan. Cowan had joined the radio division of the US War Department just prior to the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor. With the commencement of the war though, Cowan found his job suddenly changed: rather than producing shows for civilians, he now found himself charged with creating programs for thousands of new servicemen stationed all around the globe. So he happened upon an idea. Many new members of the armed forces were no doubt having to quickly and awkwardly adjust to their new regimented military existence, to the myriad of commands and orders they now had to obey. What would happen if, instead of taking commands, they were allowed to give them, at least in terms of entertainment? Similar in nature to TV’s later “You Asked For It!,” Cowan’s “Command Performance” would solicit requests from servicemen the world over and ask them what they wanted to hear over the air. Cowan and his radio staff would then do their best to make it happen for them. From the beginning, to show their support for the troops, performers of all types (recruited via letters and ads in “Variety”) were generous with their time and talents. And both CBS and NBC donated their studios and recording facilities to the production. Even the major unions and show business guilds relaxed their rules in order to do these shows for the war effort (with the caveat that the shows be heard only by military personnel).

FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT XLAN ..the "Undies*Test proves how MAVIS guards your daintiness You lure... you thrill ... when you are divinely dainty! For exquisite sweetness is the one thing a mail can't resist. And here's how you can play safe ... Every morning, shower your whole body with Mavis Talcum. It forms a fragrant, soothing film of protection that guards your daintiness. For, this amazing talcum N has a special protective quality - it prevents excess perspiration. And here's a startling test that proves it. Tomorrow morning, cover your body with Mavis Talcum ... then, make the "undies" test at night. When you undress, examine your undies carefully. You'll be amazed to find that they are practically as sweet and fresh as when you put them on in the morning. Think what this means to your peace of mind - the freshness of your undies proves that all day long you've been safe from giving offense. And once you get the daily Mavis habit, you won't have to spend that tedious time washing out your undies every night. Instead - by using Mavis Talcum every morning - you can keep your undies immacu- late for an extra day, at least. In the evening, too, use protective Mavis Talcum ... and be sure that you are exquisite always. Know that you have the bewitching, dainty fragrance that wins love ..

    BACKSTORY In the years after World War II, while many struggled to rebuild their lives in a devastated economy, Los Angeles embraced an era of unprec - edented growth and prosperity, and Hollywood became a shining beacon of the American Dream to the rest of the world. Yet beneath the glitz and glamour lay a darker reality: a burgeoning drug trade, a movie industry relentlessly preying on naïve young girls, rampant corruption at every level of police and government, and thousands of demobilized troops trying to readjust to civilian life and leave the horrors of war behind them. After years of fighting in the Pacific Theater of World War II, one such young man, Marine Lieutenant Cole Phelps, was awarded one of the Navy’s highest honors, the Silver Star, and was honorably discharged. Keen to continue serving his country on home soil, Cole signed up with the L.A.P.D., a police force suffering a public rela- tions crisis amid accusations of corruption and brutality. A young, decorated war hero could be just what the department needs to turn the tide of public opinion.

  • Fads and Fashion: the Lighter Side of the Universal Newsreel Collection
    FA DS and FASHION The Lighter Side of the Universal Newsreel Collection By Donna Inserra ance contests and diaper derbies, fash- ionable hats and fashionable people. DWhile documenting the major sto- ries of its era, the Universal Newsreel collection also chronicled the lives of ordinary citizens in situations that ran from the heroic—to the ridiculous. One of five major U.S. newsreels, Universal ran in movie theaters from 1929 until 1967. They were produced twice a week, with each issue containing several short stories that were shown in conjunction with feature films. Universal Pictures donated the collection to the National Archives in the 1970s and put it in the public domain. As such, it is a source of information for historians and filmmakers, as well as for armchair viewers remembering the Saturday matinees of their childhoods. Above: H. B. Williams attempts to push a hoop for 2,000 miles in Universal Newsreel’s first volume in 1929.

It didn’t—it started with the newsreel.” But from the beginning, there were light­ hearted topics, too: twin conventions, bar­ rel-jumping, the world’s biggest pie. The newsreels were, after all, part of a trip to the movies, where audiences expected to have a good time. “Indeed, newsreel producers went to a good deal of trouble to avoid subjects that were likely to generate widely separated opinions and emotions among theater au­ diences,” says Raymond Fielding, author of The American Newsreel, 1911–1967.“Part journalism, part show business, the newsreel was meant to entertain, and in those rare in­ stances when it actually touched upon news­ worthy, controversial subject matter it came under attack from without and within the Above: In 1938, a “slap-happy” swing jamboree with 57 “red hot bands” drew 200,000 in Chicago.
