Ed Wynn Matches Wits With The Three Stooges

Here's a 1950 CBS Network telecast of The Ed Wynn Show as Ed is joined by The Three Stooges (Moe and Shemp Howard and Larry Fine) and singer Helen Forrest, as well as a cameo appearance by TV's future Fred Mertz and "Bub" O'Casey himself, William Frawley.  Complete with original Camel Cigarettes commercials.  Aired live in Los Angeles and other coaxal cable-connect West Coast stations and shown on kinescope to the Eastern and Central time zones.

Okay, Dolls and Cats, Class Is Back In Session

With Artie Shaw and his orchestra, that is.  Here's Artie and the boys starring in the Paramount musical short subject entitled "Class in Swing."  Yes, that's Helen Forrest doing the vocal on one of the selections, "I Have Eyes." 



This 1939 short was written by Justin Herman, photographed by George Webber, and directed by Leslie Roush.
