Broadcast Radio before 1HHytgbZF Television.By F.HoffmanI have been watching reruns of the TV show "Whats My RwP7RI7hU Line", in which Fred Allen was a panelist for a number of years. I had mixed 6rOHnY0Oi feelings about how he acted during the show and found myself wondering who Wt2GcZKQG this man was. This book was inexpensive, so I bought it. He writes about the m0WySWPmi medium of broadcast radio before the advent of television. I not only gained a mioYZBG5z better understanding of why Fred Allen was highly thought of in the entertainment Vv3MCKJ0p world, but how TV changed Radio, just as the Internet is changing TV. Much of it wypBwOmAm is quite humorous, and it is very much worth a read.7 of 7 people found the 24cwU3SRB following review helpful. Great First-Hand Account of the Golden Days of 53mCKriIh RadioBy Pen NameFred Allen was a great wit during the Golden Days of Radio. His program, along with The Jack Benny Show and The Phil Harris and Alice Faye Show are just a few of the old programs that have aged well. Most if the other comedy shows if this era seem quaint, naive and even tedious.Fred Allen's influence was evident in the 1970s with the advent of Johnny Carson's "Mighty Carson Art Players" and Garrison Keillor's "News from Lake Wobegon." Both Carson and Keillor creations were direct ancestors of Allen's Alley, a weekly feature of Allen's show.

  • Lambchops by Ron Hutchinson
    Lambchops By Ron Hutchinson “Who the hell wants to hear actors talk?” --- Harry Warner, 1927 In 1925, when the brothers Warner decided to part- ner with Bell Laboratories to use the Vitaphone disk system to present movies with synchronized sound, talking wasn’t part of the plan. The brothers envi- sioned marketing their features with full orchestral scores and limited sound effects. Actors that talked from the screen were an afterthought. But a quick one. When they premiered “Don Juan” in 1926, it boasted a synchronized symphonic score with sound effects that enhanced the John Barrymore swashbuckler. There was no dialog in this otherwise silent film. The sound was on 16-inch shellac disks, turning at 33 1/3 rpm and synched to the picture. As long as the film didn’t break or the needle didn’t skip, everything matched. Audiences applauded, but were more impressed with the short subjects which preceded the feature. These WERE talking pictures, with opera stars, a ukulele player and Will Hays of the Motion Picture Producers Association actually speaking and singing in perfect synchronicity. The audience’s reaction to the shorts was not lost on the Warner Brothers. They Gracie Allen examines George Burns’ tie in a scene from “Lambchops.” quickly expanded Vitaphoning plans to begin pro- Courtesy Ron Hutchinson. duction of a series of talking and singing shorts with vaudeville, opera and Broadway stars.
