Time For A Shower Of Stars

Here's a monochrome kinescope of the October 28, 1954 CBS Network telecast of Shower of Stars, sponsored by Chrysler Corporation.  During the show's four-year run (1954-58) it was seen once a month in the time slot normally occupied by another Chrysler sponored series, the drama anthology series Climax.  Hosted by William Lundigan, this telecast of SofS stars Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarty, Gene Nelson, Sheree North, and Mario Lanza.

This program originally aired live and in color.  This surviving print is in black and white.

Enjoy!
