Hello everybody:
Thought I'd put up a little panel show fun..Honestly just to get something up this week..Mike Stokey's Pantomime Quiz Time-This show ran locally in Los Angeles from 1947-June 1950...CBS picked it up for The Summer of '50 for the first of several short runs on all 4 TV networks at one time or another..All hosted by Stokey till a 1962-63 ABC version that had Pat Harrington Jr. as host until being replaced by Stokey halfway in the run..Stump the Stars, a Syndicated Pantomime Quiz, ran from 1969-70, also with Stokey as host..
In this particular episode, probably from the 1950 CBS run, The regulars are:
Hans Conreid, Then known as "Professor Kropotkin" on the My Friend Irma Radio Series
Vincent Price-Though known for his movies, he was also doing "The Saint" on Radio
Frank DeVol -TV Music composer/arranger and sometime comedian/actor-Native of Canton, Ohio
Adele Jurgens-Movie Actress
Guest Panelists:
Marilyn Maxwell-Was doing a movie "New Mexico" (1951 release) with Conreid
Ella Raines-Actress
Walter Brennan-3 time Oscar Winner
Howard DaSilva-Stage, Movie and TV actor-Among his many acting roles was the part of Benjamin Franklin in the movie "1776" His current film was "14 Hours" (1951 release)
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Excellent talent here-I imagine this would have been fun to watch..
Thanks to DentelTV1
Stump The Stars was seen on channel 43. I wonder which local carried Pantomome Quiz before it got picked up by CBS.
ReplyDeleteIt ran from 1947 to 1950 on pioneering Los Angeles television station KTLA (Channel 5).
