Program number 11 of 18 programs. Myrna Loy introduces this unique series. The long romance between music and the silent movies, the musical extravaganzas of the thirties, the great days of the Roxy Theater, and the artistic contributions of "background music" to films are among the recollections which Miss Dorothy Lamour introduces. Her guests are Jeanette MacDonald, Gene Kelly, Francis X. Bushman, Allan Jones, producer Arthur Freed, songwriters Dorothy Field and Ray Henderson, award winning composer Franz Waxman, pianist Jack Shaindlin and former organist of the Roxy Theater, Dr.(of music) C.A.J. Parmentier. Most of the interviews were originally recorded in 1959 by producers Joan and Robert Franklin. NOTE: Robert C. Franklin (1920-1980), inspired by a 1958 newspaper story he read about Columbia University's POPULAR ARTS ORAL HISTORY PROJECT, approached Dr. Louis Starr, then director of the oral-history collection, with a proposal to interview and tape record, on to 1/4" reel to reel audio tapes, movie people as they passed through New York. The objective would be to document, through personal recollections, the era of the silent era in films, the impact of sound, the triumphs and inequities of the major studios, and life in the glittering film capital...a firsthand account revelation of how silent movies were actually made. Robert and his wife, Joan Franklin went on to record 200 reels of audio tape, recording celebrities mostly in New York City hotel rooms in 1958 and 1959. Transcripts of interviews were made available at the time to students and researchers. In 1961 excerpts/highlights from these audio tapes were edited into a 16 part radio series titled, MEMOIRS OF THE MOVIES. Myrna Loy provided a standard opening. A different celebrity host/hostess was employed to introduce each episode. All of the 90 celebrities interviewed have since passed away with the exception of Joanne Woodward. Two additional episodes were later produced, "Style of the 70's," and "Rush To Reality," both hosted by Ben Gazzara and added, subsequently, to re-issues of the series which were syndicated in the 1960's and 1970's airing in New York (WINS), Boston (WBZ), Philadelphia (KYW), Baltimore (WJZ), Fort Wayne (WOWO), Chicago (WIND), San Francisco (KPIX), and Los Angeles (KFWB). The original 200 unedited reels of 1/4" audio tape interviews recorded by Joan and Robert Franklin are no longer known to exist. However, audio cassette transfers from these original tapes were donated by Joan Franklin many decades ago to Columbia University's Oral History Research Office where they exist today. Confirmed during a 2009 phone conversation with Mary Marshal Clark, archivist at Columbia at that time, who stated that the first on file communication from Robert Franklin to Columbia University related to his proposal to do an oral history audio recorded project is dated, July 31, 1958.

January 5th, 1956-1970 (Syndicated) June 21, 1956 - October 8, 1964 (WNEW Ch. 5 New York City Thursday nights 9:00pm - 11:00pm) The actual title for this multi-year series of telecasts was HEAVYWEIGHT WRESTLING FROM WASHINGTON D.C. Heavyweight Wrestling from Washington was the first weekly televised wrestling program that was produced by the WWE, which at the time was a regional professional wrestling promotion called Capitol Wrestling Corporation, a member of the National Wrestling Alliance. It was a weekly wrestling show produced by the Capitol Wrestling Corporation owned by Vincent McMahon Sr. Bill Malone was the original host but was replaced by Morris Siegal (1956-1959). In 1959, Ray Morgan became the host and remained until the Summer of 1970 when McMahon moved the operation to Hamburg, Pennsylvania. Vincent K. McMahon Jr. (McMahon's son) then became the program host in 1972. ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND HISTORY TIME-LINE: In professional wrestling history, only a handful of wrestling promoters can be called brilliant when it comes to the usage of television as a key promotional avenue. Across a multi-state territory, Vincent McMahon "Sr." proved to be absolutely brilliant when it came to using television to promote his arena wrestling shows. Promoter: Vincent McMahon Sr. Host: Bill Malone - First ringside announcer. Host: Morris Siegel- Second ringside announcer. Host: Ray Morgan - Third ringside announcer. Network: First televised on Dumont Sponsor: Gunther Brewery (Gunther Vice President: Walter Driskill) On Thursday, January 5, 1956, Vincent McMahon's Wrestling at Capitol Arena debut on WTTG (channel 5) at 10:00 and the original host was Bill Malone. Beginning on June 21, 1956, McMahon's program was shown in New York City on WABD, replacing the Dumont TV Studio show from the Tele center. In early October 1956, Morris Siegel replaced Bill Malone as the commentator for the WTTG Thursday night wrestling show. By Thursday, December 17, 1959, Ray Morgan was the host for Wrestling at Capitol Arena (WTTG) (channel 5) (9:00-11:00pm). Morgan remained the commentator until the show's cancellation during the summer of 1970. RAY MORGAN WRESTLING RING ANNOUNCER HISTORY: In 1958, Morgan became sports director of WTTG in Washington D.C. Soon thereafter he became the announcer for Capitol Wrestling Corporation's (forerunner to the WWE) Heavyweight Wrestling From Washington. In 1966, Morgan left WTTG when the wrestling program moved from WTTG to WDCA. In 1971, CWC promoter Vincent J. McMahon moved his television broadcasts from D.C. to Hamburg, Pennsylvania. In 1971/1972, Morgan requested a pay raise to compensate for having to travel to Pennsylvania. McMahon instead chose to replace Morgan with his son, Vince K. McMahon Jr. Host Ray Morgan interviews wrestlers Skull Murphy, Brute Bernard, "Wild" Red Berry, and the Fabulous Kangaroos (Al Costello and Roy Heffernan) from the Capitol Arena in Washington, DC. Each state how they are the kings of wrestling and look forward to meeting each other and annihilating each other in their upcoming fight at Madison Square Garden. NOTE: ARCHIVAL TELEVISION AUDIO, INC. has in its archive 32 "lost" TV Audio Air Checks containing over one hundred 1962/1963 HEAVYWEIGHT WRESTLING FROM WASINTON D.C. intermission interviews conducted by Ray Morgan related to that evening's matches and upcoming events. These archived interviews usually lasted for approximately 10 to 12 minutes in length before continuing hour number two (Thursday nights 9:00-11:00pm) with additional contests. Interestingly, these over 60-YEAR-OLD interviews conducted by Ray Morgan were very low key, biographical, and substantive, and not the histrionic circus like atmosphere content soon to be the signature of such half time interviews in the decades to follow. NOTE: Most of these television audio air checks, not known to be archived elsewhere in the world, have not been monitored related to exact time lengths. They mostly consist of interviews Ray Morgan conducted with wrestlers who fought that day in front of a live audience during a half-time segment. Most of these interviews would last approximately ten to twelve minutes. Most are complete. Some incomplete. Some contain brief moments of a match ending. Some may be longer than a half hour and would not be known until monitoring them.
