  • Catalogue of Photographs of Performers at the Embassy Theatre
    Catalogue of Photographs of Performers and Shows in the Archives of the Embassy Theatre Foundation The archives of the Embassy Theatre Foundation hold more than 3000 artifacts, including more than 600 photographs of vaudevillians inscribed to Bud Berger (long-time stage man- ager at the Embassy Theatre, known as the Emboyd until 1952); more than 300 posters, playbills, programs, stools, and even guitars signed by the stars and casts of shows that have played at the Embassy Theatre over the past forty years, rang- ing from classic and current Broadway shows to acrobatic groups, choral ensembles, dance shows, ballet, stand-up comedians, rock bands, country singers, travel films, silent films, theatre organists, and so on; and hundreds of publicity photographs of performers, shows, and events at the theatre, primarily from the period following the establishment of the Embassy Theatre Foundation and its rescue of the theatre from the wrecking ball in 1975; and a nearly complete run of the journal of the American Theatre Organ Society. The archive is now almost fully catalogued and preserved in archival housing. Earlier excerpts from the catalogue (available on the Archives page of the Embassy Theatre’s web site) cover the photographs inscribed to Bud Berger and the posters, playbills, programs, stools, and so on from later shows at the Embassy. This is the third excerpt, covering the public- ity photographs of the last forty-five years and a few photographs of earlier events, Bud Berger, and other members of the stage crew. The publicity photographs are primarily of individ- ual performers, but a few shows are presented as well, including Ain’t Misbehavin’, Annie, Barnum, Bubbling Brown Sugar, Cabaret, California Suite, Cats, A Christ- mas Carol, Dancin’, Evita, Gypsy, I'm Getting My Act Together And Taking It On The Road, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Peter Pan, Same Time Next Year, Side by Side by Sondheim, and Ziegfeld: A Night at the Follies.

  • La Cultura Italiana
    LA CULTURA ITALIANA PERRY COMO (1912-2001) This month’s essay looks at the life of another Italian-American popular music artist of the post-World War II era. Famous for his relaxed vocals, cardigan sweaters, and television Christ- mas specials, he was the charming Italian-American whose name became synonymous with “mellow” as he performed through seven decades, starting in the 1930s. His idol, Bing Crosby, once called him “the man who invented casual.” PIERINO RONALD “PERRY” COMO was born on May 12, 1912 in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania. (This month would have been his 107th birthday, and, coincidentally, the 18th anniversary of his death). He was the seventh of 13 children and the first Ameri- can-born child of Pietro Como and Lucia Travaglini, who had both immigrated to the United States in 1910 from Palena, a small town in the Province of Chieti in the Abruzzo region of Italy. (He used to point out to people that he was the seventh son of a seventh son and that this was a good omen in Italian culture). Like many children of Italian immigrants (including my own father), Perry did not begin speaking English until he entered school, since the Comos spoke only Italian at home. Pietro had bought a second-hand organ for $3 soon after they had arrived in America. As soon as Perry was able to toddle, he would head to the instrument, pump the bellows, and play by ear music he had heard. Pietro worked in the Standard Tin Plate factory in Canonsburg, a small town in the coal-mining region that was located 18 miles southwest of Pittsburgh.

These are commercial tapes and play at 1 7/8 speed on the C-1 machine or on a regular cassette player. They do not play on an E-1 machine. The catalog is organized alphabetically by radio show title and the tape numbers are listed within that show. Please note that many of the radio shows are parts of sets or collections. Frequently, certain shows are repeated within several collections so it is possible to receive duplicate episodes of many shows. There are two ways to order Old-Time Radio Shows. You may call your Talking Book Center and give them the numbers of the shows you would like added to your request list.
