These early shows are brilliant. Like a half hour of vaudeville. .peppered around the so called plot. nobody could steal gracias comedy timing charisma, or cuteness . One of a kind

Ellen Hanley is my cousin and I’m so happy to find this footage of her in her prime. Can’t wait to share this with my family. They’ll be so glad to see this! Much thanks to the uploader. I love the internet!

George Burns started the long distance broadcasting over the Air coast to coast. The man was totally Business savvy. Gracie Allen was the genius talent!!:)

Originally telecast live from New York on November 9, 1950. West Coast viewers saw this via kinescope film (like this) on November 23, 1950, as coaxial cables enabling "coast-to-coast" live telecasts weren't completed as yet.

@6:00 -- WELL! That was a "subtle" way of working the sponsor into a sketch! LOL This STILL wasn't the one sketch that got them in a trouble with a sponsor, was it?

How many Harry Morton’s did this show have
