    John Pickard-Frank Provo Collection

    Thousand Oaks Library American Radio Archives John Pickard-Frank Provo Collection Introduction The John Pickard-Frank Provo Collection of the American Radio Archives documents Pickard's career in the early days of Australian radio, as well as the collaboration between Pickard and Provo that lasted nearly 40 years, and resulted in radio programs such as Wendy Warren and the News and Young Doctor Malone, as well as television programs such as Concerning Miss Marlowe and From these Roots. Biographies John Pickard was born on April 6, 1910 in Sydney, Australia. He entered the University of Sydney to study law in 1927, yet also acted in plays as a member of the Sydney University Drama Society. It was during this time that Pickard, intrigued by the new medium of radio, tried his hand at writing a radio play titled The Tomb of Osiris. This work was performed on various stations throughout Australia, and is considered by some to be the first original Australian radio play. By 1931, acting in radio productions had become Pickard's main occupation, and he was considered one of the brightest young actors on Australian radio during his tenure with the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Company) Players, whose performances were broadcast on station 2FC in Sydney. He continued writing and directing plays as well, being promoted to the Head of Drama Productions at the Australian Broadcasting Company in 1933. Pickard wrote series such as Crime Club, and also adapted American programs like One Man's Family, in which he substituted Australian settings, situations, and colloquialisms. By 1935, however, Pickard wanted to try something new and left for the United States in August of that year.

Also included in this exclusive presentation by and for Eyes Of A Generation, are the outside performance theaters and their conversion dates to NBC Television theaters. This compilation gives us the clearest and most concise guide yet to the production and technical operations of television’s early days and the network that pioneered so much of the new medium. As you will see, many shows were done as “remotes” in NBC radio studios with in-house mobile camera units, and predate the official conversion date which signifies the studio now has its own control room and stage lighting. Eyes Of A Generation would like to offer a huge thanks to the many past and present NBC people that helped, but most especially to Frank Merklein (NBC 1947-1961) Joel Spector (NBC 1965-2001), Dennis Degan (NBC 2003 to present), historian David Schwartz (GSN) and Gady Reinhold (CBS 1966 to present), for their first hand knowledge, photos and help.

  • Kate Smith & Irving Berlin

    Kate Smith & Irving Berlin

    Kate Smith's Biography Kathryn Elizabeth Smith was born May 1, 1907 in the nation's capital. From an early age she loved to sing and dance. She performed locally in theatres and at nightclubs and was discovered by a New York City show producer in 1926. She was featured in the musical comedy Honeymoon Lane on Broadway and later in Hit the Deck and Flying High. She was discovered in 1930 by Columbia Records vice president Ted Collins, who became her partner and manager and who put her on the radio in 1931. She was an immediate success on the air and she soon broke the record for longevity at the legendary Palace Theatre. In 1932 she had a cameo role in Paramount's The Big Broadcast. Then she starred in her own movie, Hello Everybody!, with co- stars Randolph Scott and Sally Blane. In 1943 she sang “God Bless America” in the Irving Berlin picture This is the Army. Kate began making records in 1926; among her biggest hits were River, Stay 'Way From My Door (1931), The Woodpecker Song (1940), The White Cliffs of Dover (1941), I Don't Want to Walk Without You (1942), There Goes That Song Again (1944), Seems Like Old Times (1946), and Now Is the Hour (1947). In the fifties she began making LP albums, with such best sellers as Kate Smith at Carnegie Hall (1963), How Great Thou Art (1965), and America’s Favorites: Kate Smith/Arthur Fiedler/Boston Pops (1967). Her theme song was When the Moon Comes Over the Mountain, whose lyrics she helped write.

In this explosive talk, Alex Newman exposes the insanity that has taken over the public school system. From the sexualization of children and the reshaping of values to deliberate dumbing down, Alex shows how dangerous this threat is — not just to our children, but also to the future of faith, family, and freedom — and what every American can do about it.
