More video of the radio show

Postby shimp scrampi » Tue Sep 11, 2007 4:32 pm

Here's an oddity. Another military show but not the Camp Haan footage we've seen, dated 1943. It's only 13 seconds and Jack has a suspiciously full (and dark!) hairline. So did he sometimes wear the toupe piece for radio ... or perhaps just because he knew this bit would be filmed?

And, I wonder if more footage of this broadcast besides the tiny clip exists.

I saw the clip that you posted. Did you go to the company website? They have a few other clips on their of Jack. Kinda interesting. They are not very long but stuff I've never seen before. I think most of them are from news reels.I contacted the company to ask if they had any longer clips.

By the way, does anyone know if we have any news reel clips of Jack in the video or audio library here?

Wow -- those old new reel clips are great! I especially liked the one from the "I can't stand Jack Benny" contest :D
