    Subject:  Art Linkletter's House Party

    But I do remember hearing it, such as on days I was home from school.

    On one of his most memorable broadcasts, he was doing a popular stunt of
    picking a woman in the audience and, with her permission, going through her
    purse, making comments and asking questions.  He was offering to pay a woman
    a few dollars for some odd item he found, when she suddenly said as they
    quibbled over the price, "Are you trying to jew me down?"

    Art stopped everything, expressed his shock and disappointment, emphasized
    that the program was strictly for entertainment, and apologized to all his
    audience there in the studio and on the airwaves, especially his Jewish
    listeners, for what had happened.  As I remember, he did not further speak
    directly to the woman, probably had rapidly taken his microphone and gone
    back to the stage.  Good man, and excellent quick thinking.

    Best to you.  I wish there WAS a recording of that event.

    Lou Marcelle was the voice of Warner Bros. he did the [removed] for their trailers
    and the opening narration for "Casablanca." I worked with him on an
    industrial film in the 1970s when he was retired and living in Arizona. We'd
    hired Bob Shane, but he came up lame and could not do the walk and talk
    required for the piece, so we sent him home and someone suggested Lou. Who
    looked and sounded great--but he was the consumate [removed] actor-that is to say,
    he couldn't remember a line to save his life. Somehow we muddled through and
    Lou looked great on film, but we had to piece together every line from
    different angles and takes to make it work.

    I have two House Party shows. 5/15/51 on ABC with Pillsbury comm and
    10/13/67 WCBS with Brach candy.
    That date may be incorrect as Linkletter says it is the "final show after 27
    years." I understand the show began
    1/15/45.  I also have one show of "What's the Name of That Song." Dated
    3/20/46 with Wildroot comm but it is only the first half.

    Somewhere in my stash I have the very last radio episode from 1967, which
    sounded just like the TV
    show I remembered from my childhood.  (It pretty much was.)  IIRC there's
    supposed to be a 1949
    "House Party" broadcast buried somewhere in Internet Archives, and it was
    sponsored by Pillsbury.

    A couple of questions, which might have already been answered at some time
    previously and I just missed the answers:

    Why did all, or most, of the titles of the Dragnet shows start with "The
    [removed]"?

    On any radio shows where organ music was used, how much of the music was
    completely "scripted" and how much was more-or-less ad lib? I suspect a lot of
    it might almost be compared to the piano/organ player in a silent movie
    theatre.

    Thanks.
