Forties-Era Videos!

A jewel from Maven's memory is from a fellow Texan, Mary Martin, as Peter Pan. . . . www.youtube.com has a short clip from the television classic with Cyril Ritchard as Captain Hook at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tRXI1I_yew.

A 1942 clip of a very young Dorothy Dandridge and Paul White singing "A Zoot Suit (For My Sunday Gal)" that Maven first saw on cable back in the 90s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjKlnXzE-Dk

Dated and racist?

Certainly but what's not to like about

the young Dorothy Dandridge?!

Dorothy Dandridge also appears in a video of the Mills Brothers' "Paper Doll"at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RTzIi4e2CI.

Juanita Moore also appears in it as the lady on the left.

Juanita Moore was also in an episode from "The Alfred Hitchcock Hour" (1962):"Where the Woodbine Twineth"

"A Bizarre Musical Number From 1934" is the title of a clip on Youtube.com that has "Philo Holmes" (played by Charles Jubels) and Watkins (Franklyn Pangborn). It's from a film called My Grandfather's Clock. The clip is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUvC1KVK3Bg

And this clip looks like it came from the same movie . . . either part or maybe at the end?!
