Man, I am an old dude but I nearly remember . The “gimmick “ of this show was that a person brought an act with them.- they were the “ talent scout”. And there by, anyone watching could also be a talent scout .
Arthur's reference of "the paid up members of the 802" at 2:44 is the New York City musicians' union of the American Federation of Musicians, Local 802.. By 1956 Arthur's band leader, Archie Bleyer, was gone. He was replaced here by Will Roland.
Gino Sambuco played beautifully the William Kroll piece, "Banjo and Fiddle". The composition was wrongly attributed to David Guion in this show. David Guion wrote "Turkey in the Straw".
Yes -- The Stoneman Family! When he announced "Scotty Stoneman, Donna Stoneman, Jim Stoneman..." i just about yelled out loud. They were great, and it is odd to see them flying in under the radar as an unknown band. Check them out on TH-cam -- lots of great audio cuts and videos -- and don't overlook their dad, Ernest Stoneman, who was an amazing performer of the earlier generation and performed with them as they grew. I saw them perform live, with their dad, in Berkeley, Califorinia in the 1960s. They were fantastic, talented folks, and Ernest Stoneman actually tuned my autoharp at a workshop!
Yes, I have a fifteen minute kinescope segment from the daytime show. It aired on 11/4/53. Arthur, after being introduced by Tony Marvin, said "I read something nice in the paper...for a change." I also have kinescopes from 1952 and 1954.
@@thetreasurehouse1742 that's amazing. I've been trying to find the 7/6/1953 show, with no luck. I'm researching a little-known comedian who was on that episode.
@@notboring0 Back then he went by "Richard Davy." Eventually he called himself Dick Davy and released two great comedy albums on Columbia. I'm producing a vinyl album of his undiscovered comedy but I've still never seen his stuff from this far back.

My mom June Marquardt Pember worked in the control room. Still with us...96 years old!
I love the commercials! The show is very nice, slow paced as shows were back then. The violinist was amazing!
Hello 👋🏻 nice to meet you Sandra, hope you’re safe and well?
That one time he did a 4 minute long commercial for Lipton soup is priceless. One of the best commercials of all time!

Thank you I was looking for this
I remember Arthur used to joke about using used Lipton tea bags if you had a hole in the wall you could use the tea bags to plug the hole in the wall.
Dude, predates me, though, heard he was very popular once, had to check out the show, THNX for the upload :)

Long on talk, short on talent.
The hillbilly band was pretty good.

Do you happen to know if any kinescopes survive from 1953?

I like all three acts but thought the violin was the best
I love bluegrass but the girl or violin was better.
Fat deal. Who asked?
I wonder if the losers ever went on to a musical career.
