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.

A repeat of a rare July 15, 1962 broadcast for its time. A round table discussion by eight male homosexuals discussing their lives and loves.
Moderator: WBAI Public Affairs Director, Dick Elman.
To humanize homosexuality, Randolfe Wicker brought together a panel of eight homosexuals to speak as they would speak to each other. WBAI public affairs director, Dick Elman moderates a discussion recorded at a Brownstone home in NYC on the West Side.
NOTE:
In early 1962, WBAI New York’s listener-supported “progressive" radio station aired an hour-long special, “The Homosexual In America.” It featured a panel of psychiatrists who described gay people as sick and in need of a cure — a cure that they could provide with just a few hours of therapy.
Gay Activist and founder of the “Homosexual League of New York” Randy Wicker was livid, not only at the ignorance of these so-called “experts,” but also because, once again, there was a panel of straight people talking about gay people they didn’t even know.
Wicker went to the WBAI studios and confronted Dick Elman, the station’s public affairs director. “Why do you have these people on that don’t know a damn thing about homosexuality? They don’t live it and breathe it the way I do. … I spend my whole life in gay society.” Wicker demanded equal time and Elman agreed, provided Wicker find other gay people willing to go on the air as part of a panel. When plans for the program were announced, the New York Journal-American went ballistic. Jack O’Brian, the paper’s radio-TV columnist, wrote that the station should change its callsign to WSICK for agreeing to air an “arrogant card-carrying swish.”
The broadcast titled “Live and Let Live,” featured Wicker and seven other gay men, identified only as Harry, Jack, Bill, Peter, Marty, and two others, talking for ninety minutes about what it was like to be gay. They talked about their difficulties in maintaining careers, the problems of police harassment, and the social responsibility of gays and straights alike. The program’s host guided the programs with questions to the panel. “Is there harassment?” he asked. One panelist described some of the police harassment he had experienced, when one officer “roared up, jumped out of the car, grabbed me, and started giving me this big thing about ‘What are you doing here, you know there are a lot of queers around this neighborhood.’ He said, ‘You know, there’s only one thing worse than a queer, and that’s a nigger’.” (Remember this was 1962.)
The New York Times’s called the program “the most extensive consideration of the subject to be heard on American radio” —
A week before the broadcast, Jack O'Brian, a "right-wing" columnist for the New York Journal American, attacked it as an attempt to present "the ease of living the gay life." Wicker made the rounds to Variety, Newsweek, and The New York Times informing them of the broadcast and the attack on it by O'Brian. The 90-minute program, believed to be the first such in the United States, aired on July 15, 1962. Several mainstream media outlets, alerted by Wicker, covered the broadcast, which received favorable treatment in The New York Times, The Realist, Newsweek, the New York Herald Tribune, and Variety.
As a result of the publicity, from 1962 through 1964 Wicker was one of the most visible gay people in New York. He spoke to countless church groups and college classes and, in 1964, became the first openly gay person to appear on East Coast television with a January 31st appearance on The Les Crane Show which was recorded at the time of the original broadcast by Phil Gries founder and owner of Archival Television Audio.
Wicker is credited with organizing the first known gay rights demonstration in the United States.

This is a journey back to the roots of our popular music, exploring some of the diverse sources that have contributed to the type of song now dominating the music industry.
To show something of the past, producer Stephen Fleischman's cameras visit Preservation Hall in New Orleans, where some "elder statesmen" still come to play the kind of jazz performed at the turn of the century. Films of singers at the Morning Star Baptist Church and of the Supremes in a recording session illustrate the relationship between the two groups; responsive singing and heavenly accented rhythms. We also see The Grand Ole Opry of Nashville, Tennessee, the most famous showcase for Country and Western music, which originated with America's early Scottish, English, and Irish immigrants.
Among other musicians interviewed or performing...Rock N' Roll: The Temptations, The Dave Clark Five, Country and Western: Marty Robbins, Tex Ritter, Jazz: Duke Ellington, Gene Krupa, Billy Taylor, Musical Comedy: Richard Rodgers, Pop: Tony Bennett.

Fred Klein introduces Miss Barbara Stanwick who receives a Most Popular Female Star Award. She thanks her public and mentions how much such an award means to her. Stanwick' sit-down interview with Merv Griffin is brief but salient and one that is rare. This is only one of two formal sit-down interviews that Barbara Stanwick has been known to accept. The other was with Joey Bishop.
Merv Griffin states to Barbara Stanwick what a great thrill it is to have her grace his stage. She states that this is the first time in many years that she has been on stage. She does remember and talks about starring in Burlesque Queen, and her first job as a chorus dancer, filling in one day with a dramatic part replacing another actor and remaining in the part. She states that when the show moved to Broadway, New York, director Willard Mack, who died at the age of 61 in 1934, suggested she change her name to Barbara Stanwick. She expands on the circumstances.

October 1, 1962-May 22, 1992. Johnny Carson, host of NBC's network late-night "Tonight Show" reigned for 30 unprecedented years...five times the combined tenure of Steve Allen, and Jack Paar. Carson was impervious to competition, including efforts to dethrone him by Les Crane, Joey Bishop, Merv Griffin, Dick Cavett, Jack Paar, Pat Sajak, Joan Rivers, and Arsenio Hall. Sadly, very few complete "Tonight Show" broadcasts survive during Johnny Carson's first ten years of broadcasting. Around 1965, through the early 1970's, oldest tapes were first erased systematically by orders from myopic NBC executives, to be recycled for purposes of saving money. Ironically, in many cases, these older master tapes were too brittle, and portended probable drop-outs for re-use after being erased. Subsequently blank after being erased, these older questionable master 2" Quad tapes were either sparingly used or never used again for recording new programming and eventually were discarded. Saving thousands of dollars at the time (wiping master tapes for potential re-use) resulted in losing millions of dollars by NBC in today's marketplace, and more importantly wiping thousands of historic TONIGHT SHOW broadcasts, which contain precious personal anecdotes from political, show business, and sports icons of the past.
Guests: Marty Allen, Phyllis Newman. Guest host: Joan Rivers.
