October 27, 1953 - June 21, 1955 (ABC TV) July 6, 1955 - June 12, 1963 (CBS TV) The first two years on ABC The U.S. STEEL HOUR presented mostly one hour dramatic plays. With their move to CBS there was more diversity in the subject matter. For this broadcast "The U.S. Steel Hour" departed from its usual dramatic format presenting a musical version of "The Importance of Being Earnest," Oscar Wlde's farce about mixed identities, snobbery and the fancy of a young girl for a dashing man she's never met and who doesn't really exist. Dorothy Collins and Edward Mulhare star in this adaptation. Songs, include, "Mr. Bunbury," "Perfection," "My Eternal Devotion," "My Eternal Devotion," "A Wicked Man," "Metaphorically Speaking," "Lost, and "My Very First Impression" NOTE: The one television musical Dorothy Collins appeared in her career. In ten years this showcase anthology series presented over 200 live plays, the likes we will never see again on contemporary television. UCLA FILM & TV ARCHIVE has over 80 U.S. STEEL productions in their collection, but not "WHO'S EARNEST" which also is not archived by The Paley Center for Media or The Library of Congress.#7336: PERRY COMO SHOW, THE

#7466: VOICE OF FIRESTONE
1959-02-23, ABC, 00 min.
September 5, 1949-June 7, 1954 (NBC); June 14, 1954-June 16, 1963 (ABC). This was the first broadcast of the season. "Voice of Firestone," which began on radio in 1928, was a Monday-night perennial for more than two decades before coming to television in 1949; for the next five years it was simulcast on NBC radio and television, until a dispute between the sponsor and the network over the Monday time slot led Firestone to shift the program to ABC. The half-hour musical series presented all kinds of music, but emphasized classical and semiclassical selections. Each week a guest celebrity was featured, and for many years the principal guests came from the Metropolitan Opera Company. The Firestone Orchestra was conducted by Howard Barlow, and the show was hosted by John Daly during its years on ABC; Hugh James was the announcer. "Voice of Firestone" was seen as a series of specials from 1959 until 1962; it returned as a weekly series in the fall of 1962 for a final season (September 30, 1962-June 16, 1963). "From Oklahoma To Music Man" is the theme.
