they call show-business. From
time to time a colurtm or two,
will be devoted to more of these !
side-lights regarding people that
make show business history. I
For instance, to start this column,
the item from , 1908, when
Shakespeare’s “Hamlet,” was ,
billed in one small town as I
“How a Step-Father Got His
Dues.” You’ve probably heard
of the American Society of
Composers, Authors and Publish
ers, better known as ASGAP.
That began in 1912 and the idea j
was conceived by Victor Her
bert, which might explain why!
not too many radio stations fea-*
ture “Parade of the Wooden
Soldiers” anymore. How about
this for early payola? In 1907
Jerome H. Remick, a Detroit in
dustrialist, paid singers to plug
his numbers. Other song-writ
ers offered free song slides to
nickelodeons and still others
purchased scenery for acts which
promised to cooperate. Going
back a couple of years for this
item: In 1905 there was a nov
elty number with the peculiar
title of “When America is Cap
tured by the Japs.” Speaking
of songs, did you know that
George M. Cohan’s patriotic
number “You’re a Grand Old
Flag” was originally entitled
“You’re a Grand Old Rag”?
Here’s a suggestive song, circa
1908: “Mary Took Her Calves
to the Dairy Show.” Oh, and
did you know that the Ameri
can standard “Put on Your Old
Grey Bonnett,” was “borrowed”
from an English number entitled
“Put on Your Old Green Bon-i
net”. Switching from songs to!
cinema, the first review in the !
famous trade paper Variety came
out in January of 1907 and con
cerned a Pathe film called “An
Exacting Honeymoon”. Second
review was on Edison’s “Life 1
of a Cowboy.” So far, all of
these little vignettes have con
cerned themselves with show-biz
facts and figures from the turn
of the century to just before;
World War I. In subsequent |
columns throughout the year I
we’ll check a few more of these
items and pass ’em along to*
you.
Movie Notes: Red Nichols’
comeback in the world of music
has been attributed to Danny
Kaye’s movie based on his life
and titled “Five Pennies.” Joyce
Taylor, who portrayed a flir
tatious teenager in “Ring of
Fire,” is actually happily mar
ried and a Beverly Hills church
leader. One of the most fasci
nating stories ever put on the
screen is “The Great Imposter.”
It stars Tony Curtis and proves
definitely that truth is stranger
than fiction. The movie is a
combination of laughs and fas
cination. Ella Fitzgerald’s dra-j
matic debut was in the movie
“Let No Man Write My Epi-'
taph.” Steve Reeves as “Thief
of Bagdad” made it the sixth
time that story was screened. *
First version starred Douglas
.Fairbanks, Sr. To answer the
oft-asked question: Yes, “Return!
to Peyton Place” was based, to
a large degree on actual fact, i
“Honeymoon Machine” was one I
of Hollywood’s funniest offer
ings with Paula Prentiss steal
ing most of the scenes. Holly-)
