Examination Committee Chair Professor of Theatre University of Nevada, Las Vegas Las Vegas is known as a post-modern city: its development in the later half of the twenty-first century is an explosion of tourism, spectacle and gambling. Especially with the transitions of the past two years and the great variety in the new shows, no one has asked the question how did Las Vegas get fi’om the showgirl toBlue Man Group? If we are to visualize a Las Vegas in the future, it is essential that we understand the whys of and the forces that impel change in the Las Vegas entertainment industry. As there are no chronologies of the Las Vegas spectacle this paper is an effort to delineate the evolution of the spectacle as a beginning step to understanding the forces that change Las Vegas. What follows is a piecing together of myths, opinions, visual accounts, personal memories, and some documented chronologies of the development of the current shows in Las Vegas. ui Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

    THE JERRY GRAY STORY – 1955-1960 [Updated Jun 15, 2018 – Version JG.008e] Circa 1955: Jerry Gray and his Band of Today, with Linda Lee. AFRS/AFRTS Series EN-315. Jerry Gray appeared on at least six programs of this Series. He was interviewed on at least three of these programs, likely at the Hollywood Palladium. Bud Widom was a disc jockey/interviewer on this Series. It is unknown whether the versions of the Jerry Gray recordings used were the original Decca commercial releases or other versions. Buds Bandwagon was a 30-minute record program produced and hosted by Bud Widom. There were approximately 655 programs distributed by AFRS/AFRTS. The Billboard, Jun 4, 1955, Page 18: 3 AFRS Live Segs Axed for Economy HOLLYWOOD, May 28. – A move to eliminate all Armed Forces Radio Service productions that emanate live this week resulted in the termination of contracts of three civilian AFRS employees, disc jockey Bud Widom, sports announcer Fred Hessler, and Dave Young, announcer-narrator. Move reportedly came as a result of a recent government order to “effect a drastic budget cut,” with possible future plans of eliminating commercial AFRS shows. Widom, best known of the trio, conducted a successful disk jockey show for AFRS for the past four years, “Bud’s Bandwagon.” _______________ The Billboard, Jul 23, 1955, Page 3: Bernstein, Widom Set Up B&W Outfit HOLLYWOOD, July 16. – B&W Productions was formed here this week by packager Bud Widom and producer Richard Bernstein.

  • The Odyssey of Joan and Jane Ryba by Joan Ryba Gillis
    SpTring 200h9 eTHE NCEWSLoETTERrOF TnHE RICeE HISTrORICsAL SOtCIEToY nVOL. 1e 4, NO. 1 Rice Cheerleaders to Las Vegas Showgirls: The Odyssey of Joan and Jane Ryba by Joan Ryba Gillis Editor’s Note: The following article is a summary of a talk that Joan Ryba Gillis gave to the Rice Historical Society on October 4, 2008. It was so well received that several audience members suggested she write down her remarks and publish them in a future issue of The Cornerstone . Joan and Jane Ryba attended Rice in the fifties; they were identical twins, cheerleaders, perennial favorites and beauties, and members of Phi Beta Kappa! his narrative came about when the Owen Wister Literary Society alumnae group asked T me to do a program at their monthly meeting, detailing what Jane and I did after we graduated from Rice. Initially, I was reluctant to do it because my husband Don Gillis and I were doing a lot of travelling and I am the one who plans the trips. This project Jane and Joan Ryba, Rice Cheerleaders would take a great deal of time since I needed to tell the story with pictures and that entailed going through hundreds of slides and having prints made. In addition, I would need to look for clippings in scrapbooks and boxes. The weekend in 2007 that Don’s Southwest Conference championship football team was honored at Homecoming, a lady approached us in the R Room at the Rice Stadium and gave me an article she had written about the Lamar High School anniversary. She had mentioned in it that Jane and I had graduated from Lamar and said she would like to get together to discuss my years in Las Vegas.
