  • The Muppets in Movieland
    Downloaded from: justpaste.it/muppetsinmovieland The Muppets in Movieland by JOHN CULHANE • NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE • JUN 1979 Last autumn, when Edgar Bergen died, and his voice and the voices of Charlie McCarthy and Mortimer Snerd were stilled forever, the great ventriloquist’s widow, Frances, and his daughter, Candice, asked Jim Henson and Kermit the Frog to say a few words at the funeral. “There seems to be something strange about having a puppet in this situation,” began tall, lean, 42-year-old Henson, the brown-bearded, gentle-voiced, ever-calm creator of The Muppets. “I’ve never appeared at a funeral before,” said the hand puppet frog on Henson’s hand. “But the family asked me if I would bring Kermit and…” “Charlie would have liked it,” Kermit interrupted Henson — and only then did it sink in for some that Charlie and Mortimer were gone, too. “I think of all these guys as part of puppetry,” Henson told the mourners. “The frog here — and Charlie and Mortimer — Punch and Judy — Kukla and Ollie. It’s interesting to not that there have been puppets as long as we had records of mankind. Some of the early puppets were used by witch doctors — or for religious purposes. In any case, puppets have often been connected with magic. “Certainly, Edgar Bergen’s work with Charlie and Mortimer was magic,” Henson said. “Magic in the real sense. Something happened when Edgar spoke through Charlie — things were said that couldn’t be said by ordinary people…We of the Muppets, as well as many others, are continuing in his footsteps.

  • "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).

  • "War of the Worlds": Behind the 1938 Radio Show Panic
    "War of the Worlds": Behind the 1938 Radio Show Panic June 17, 2005 It was the day before Halloween, October 30, 1938. Henry Brylawski was on his way to pick up his girlfriend at her Adams Morgan apartment in Washington, D.C. As he turned on his car radio, the 25-year-old law student heard some startling news. A huge meteorite had smashed into a New Jersey farm. New York was under attack by Martians. "I knew it was a hoax," said Brylawski, now 92. Others were not so sure. When he reached the apartment, Brylawski found his girlfriend's sister, who was living there, "quaking in her boots," as he puts it. "She thought the news was real," he said. It was not. What radio listeners heard that night was an adaptation, by Orson Welles's Mercury Theater group, of a science fiction novel written 40 years earlier: The War of the Worlds, by H.G. Wells. However, the radio play, narrated by Orson Welles, had been written and performed to sound like a real news broadcast about an invasion from Mars. Thousands of people, believing they were under attack by Martians, flooded newspaper offices and radio and police stations with calls, asking how to flee their city or how they should protect themselves from "gas raids." Scores of adults reportedly required medical treatment for shock and hysteria. The hoax worked, historians say, because the broadcast authentically simulated how radio worked in an emergency. "Audiences heard their regularly scheduled broadcast interrupted by breaking news," said Michele Hilmes, a communications professor at University of Wisconsin in Madison and author of Radio Voices: American Broadcasting, 1922-1952.

  • 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.
