This musical/variety special honors the career of theatrical composer Jerome Kern (1885-1945). Singer Patrice Munsel opens the program with "Yesterdays," and host Bob Cummings visits Kern's "memory space," where he chats with frequent Kern collaborator and librettist/lyricist Otto Harbach. Harbach briefly describes the history of "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes," written for "Roberta" (1933). Keely Smith performs the song, followed by "Why Do I Love You?" from "Show Boat" (1927), joined by singer Louis Prima. Cummings chats with announcer Hugh Downs about Kern's personality, noting that he kept a bust of composer Richard Wagner on his piano. Howard Keel sings "All the Things You Are," accompanied by dancers Bambi Linn and Kelly Brown. Bob Cummings introduces the famous "alter-ego dance" scene via a film clip from "Cover Girl" (1944) in with Gene Kelly, smarting over an argument with love interest Rita Hayworth, converses and dances with his own reflection. Cummings explains that Kern helped invent a new form of "musical comedy" with 1905's "The Earl and the Girl." He joins Carol Channing for "How'd You Like to Spoon with Me?" Smith and Prima sing "The Bull-Frog Patrol," and Channing, playing a late-night maid in a historical museum, performs "Cleopatterer" from "Leave It to Jane" (1917). Patrice Munsel and Howard Keel sing the title song from "Till the Clouds Roll By" (1946) and are joined by the other performers for "Look for the Silver Lining." Bob Cummings reads positive notices for the 1931 musical "The Cat and the Fiddle," and Brown and Linn perform the "Poor Pierrot" ballet from the show. Cummings recites "The Last Time I Saw Paris," the poem written by Oscar Hammerstein and set to music by Kern, which then went on to win an Academy Award for Best Original Song from "Lady Be Good" (1941) and was again featured in the 1954 film also titled "The Last Time I Saw Paris." Munsel sings "All Through the Day," and vaudeville performer John W. Bubbles sings "Bojangles of Harlem" from "Swing Time" (1936). Keely Smith performs "Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man" from "Show Boat."

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.

September 29, 1962-September 12, 1970. Jackie Gleason was a fixture on CBS for most of two decades. In the fall of 1962 Gleason was back to a Saturday slot, which he occupied for another eight seasons. From 1962 to 1966 it was called "Jackie Gleason and His American Scene Magazine," and featured topical comedy sketches as well as musical numbers. One of Gleason's characters, Joe the Bartender, appeared regularly. Addressing the camera as his patron, Joe told a few jokes before calling out the tipsy Crazy Guggenheim from the back room. Guggenheim, played by Frank Fontaine, traded quips with Joe and then sang a song. Sue Ann Langdon was also featured regularly. In 1966 Gleason moved the operation to Miami Beach. The show was retitled "The Jackie Gleason Show." For the first time in almost a decade, production of "The Honeymooners" was resumed. Gleason was reunited with Art Carney; Sheila MacRae and Jane Kean were added to play Alice and Trixie. Many of these later "Honeymooners" sketches ran a full hour, and the accent was now on music.1969-04-06, WNBC, 52 min.
