    That's right! And it was a disaster.

    Back in the "Day" actors thought nothing of live TV. It was a normal thing.
    Yeah, there were goofs, just like a play, but they'd make the best of it with
    improvisation or simply ignoring the back drop that was on fire. I doubt that
    most of today's TV actors have what it takes.

    Today's live theater is a different story.

    The Bob Cummings show took place in Joplin Missouri. They often referred to the Conner's Hotel and Shiffendecker park, which were real places. He used the name Bob Collins on the show. I THINK Ann B Davis played Shotsy (Sp?) his secretary or something like that.

    Gail Storm was My Little Margie.

    John Baresford (sp?) Tipton was the Millionaire and his lackey was Michael Anthony.

    Little Roqueford was a cartoon mouse, I think.

    Those shows were done live.

    Someone else can get the others.

    Tom's dog would be the Mighty Manfred and Tom's nemisis was Crabby Appleton, I think. It was years before my brother and I stopped putting funnels on our heads and yelling, "Teeee..rific!"
