- In this "Ethel and Albert" segment from March 23, 1952, Albert wakes in the middle of the night with a toothache. But is that all it is!?
Originally aired on The Kate Smith Hour
Written by Peg Lynch
Starring Peg Lynch as Ethel and Alan Bunce as Albert
Peg had a great sense of satire and comedy. She could write for an empty radio studio and a live television audience and both kinds of sketches would be funny. When you talk about chemistry between two performers Peg and Alan had it.
Poor Alan Bunce, profusely sweating under those 1952 Kleig studio lights of which many were required to allow the image orthicon tube cameras enough light to register a decent picture.
Thanks for posting this.
Kind words and true! Thanks.
We recently visited "Ten Chimneys" in Genosee Depot Wisconsin, The estate of Alfred Lunt & Lynn Fontaine. They were based in New York city for most of the year. It got me wondering if Peg ever hob nobbed with them.
She met them but theatre and early television were different worlds.
my wife has a robe very similar to Ethel's!!
I think I remember it from when I was little (I'm her daughter!).
Is the full show available somewhere? I'd love to see the parts featuring WSM's Grand Ole Opry.
I have only E & A segments, sent by collectors over the years. The full shows are part of Kate's archive at Boston U. They're quite protective. Sadly.
@peg_lynch_comedy I see. Do you think I'd have any luck asking them over at the archive for a digital copy?
@@JakeElmoreMusic you can try. It'll cost you.
