“CHAIN STORES SAY THEY WILL OBSERVE BYLAW,” Winnipeg Tribune. June 24, 1930. Page 11. ---- Stayed Open Last Week Only to Force Issues; Police Court Cases Remanded ---- Chain stores, having last Wednesday disobeyed the early closing by-law in order to draw attention to the manner in which it was being enforced, will close tomorrow afternoon and on all Wednesday afternoons in future, according to statements made this morning by chain store officials. 

This afternoon 38 grocers appeared in city police court charged with breach of the early closing bylaw. Most of them were managers of chain store branches. Counsel for them pleaded not guilty and their cases were remanded until July 2. Not Defying Law Chain store officials, interviewed this morning, stressed the fact they had no intention of keeping their stores open in defiance of the law. They were heartily in favor of the early closing bylaw but wanted to see it more strictly enforced. It was unfair to expect the chain stores to close if other stores were allowed to remain open, they said.

"The only reason we kept our stores open last Wednesday was to force the issue," said R. E. Barnett, market manager, Piggly Wiggly Ltd. "We are in favor of a bylaw which would force all retail establishments-grocers, butchers, hardware merchants, shoe shops - to close on Wednesday afternoon. We think both the executives and employes need the half-day holiday. But we don't think it fair that we should be called on to shut up shop when other stores are still doing business."

Names on Docket Those who appeared on the police court docket charged with breach of the early closing bylaw were: Harry R. Ayliffe, Edward Beese. Alfred W Belfie, Alexander Beveridge, Cecil Bishop, Robert Blair, Louise Brause, Norman Down, John Garvey. Roland O. Harrison. Ulrich Hermann, William C. Howard Frank Juneau. John Kells, Keneth Kennedy, Emil Lacombe, James Lamont, Charles Lindberg. William Lowey, Stanley Miles, Adam Morning. Arthur Me Donald, William J. McRae, James MeTurk, James Nelson, Cecil Norgrove, Alex Reed, John D. Ripley, George Ritchie Walter Scott, Harold Smith, Cyril Speakman, John Stein, Wilbert Taylor, Ross Veale, H. J. C. Warner, Gordon E. Watson and Fred Wauchope.

Doom & Gloom: The Year In Bootlegs

Whole lotta doom and gloom in 2021. But here's some of the good kind of Doom & Gloom. Live recordings from across the decades! Read on to get caught up with the D&G exclusive upload kinda things from the past 12 months. In case you've missed some of these, I've gone ahead and replaced expired links. This year marks 12 years of Doom & Gloom From The Tomb. Hope you've enjoyed the ride. Keep on sailing.

Pharoah Sanders - The Jazz Workshop, Boston, Massachusetts, November 3, 1973

Pharoah effortlessly turns this basement club into an extremely cosmic zone, stretching way out, but always carrying the audience along with him.

Rahsaan Roland Kirk & the Vibration Society - The Jazz Workshop, Boston, Massachusetts, October 31, 1972

“If I pass through this land and split offa this earth, and I find somebody puttin’ my music out on bootleg, I got some cats and sisters gonna take care of ya with some karate chops and some knives."

Herbie Hancock - The Jazz Workshop, Boston, Massachusetts, March 22, 1973

With synth madman Dr. Patrick Gleason in tow (plus a dude named Scorch on congas), the group takes the Boylston Street basement club into the outer reaches of the cosmos. The groove remains strong, however, with Buster Williams and Billy Hart laying down a thick and greasy foundation for everyone else to blast off from. Amazing jams.

Bob Dylan - Spokane Arena, Spokane, Washington, October 5, 2001

A fantastic Crystal Cat recording and a fantastic performance from the Campbell / Sexton / Kemper era NET band, with a bunch of song debuts and Bob in fine form. I can remember getting CDRs of this gig in the mail just a few weeks later, which seemed like a minor miracle at the time — like “Love And Theft” itself!

The Band - The Music Inn, Lenox, Massachusetts, September 26, 1976

The Band would soon be dancing its Last Waltz, but they all sound as good as ever at the Music Inn, as captured on a very nice audience tape. Danko in particular is on fire, vocally and instrumentally, and the mix gives us a little bit more of Manuel’s piano as a treat.

Sun Ra and His Arkestra - The Grotto, New Haven, Connecticut, June 14 & November 12, 1986

Almost twenty African-American musicians, resplendent in shiny flowing robes and sequined caps, were shoehorned on the Grotto stage in June, 1986. They greeted the audience with a furious roll of drums, followed by the modal yodel and chromatic squeal of a synthesizer imitating a reed—an oboe or alto sax—and then zipping into an ascending siren noise like a spaceship in a sci-fi flick thrusting into hyperspace.

Fairport Convention - Royal Festival Hall, London, England, February 14, 1970

Fairport at this stage was debuting their Full House lineup / repertoire. That band’s saga is always kind of amazing to me. At the end of 1969, they lost a key co-founder and creative force (Ashley Hutchings) and the greatest singer of all time (Sandy Denny). Other groups would hang it up at that point — but instead, they just somehow became even more awesome.

Sandy Denny - The Bitter End, New York City, February 5, 1972

In January, we played the Bitter End in New York, with twenty-three-year-old Jackson Browne opening. He was obviously something special, with amazing maturity of voice and songwriting, and a genial human being. Between sets, we would repair next door to Nobody’s Bar, sawdust on the floor and Tapestry on the jukebox. One night, the guy on the door at the club told us that Bob Dylan was in the house. If there was one sure way of ruining Sandy’s set, it had just happened. I’d never seen her so nervous, self-conscious and clumsy on stage. Bob slipped away before the set ended. — Richard Thompson

Richard & Linda Thompson - New Merlin’s Cave, London, England, November 27, 1973

Another trip back to Richard Thompson's early days with Linda and Simon Nicol, when the trio was touring folk clubs and pubs as Sour Grapes. This audience tape is far from pristine, but it’s not bad either, capturing the Grapes trying to calm a rambunctious crowd. And mostly failing!

Black Francis - McCabe’s Guitar Shop, Santa Monica, California, March 22, 1990

Black Francis, AKA Frank Black, AKA Charles Thompson IV on Pico Boulevard. The Pixies frontman was out on the west coast at the time recording Bossanova, and he takes the opportunity to debut a bunch of that LP during the course of his 80+ minute set, plus a wide range of old faves and obscurities.

Frank Black - McCabe’s Guitar Shop, Santa Monica, California, May 27, 1994

The Pixies were kaputt for the time being and Frank had quickly built up an entirely new repertoire — apart from a handful of covers, this 29-song set is drawn from his two solo albums, 1993’s self-titled debut and the then-just-released Teenager of the Year, plus assorted b-sides. These records are, in my humble opinion, just as good as Black’s original work with the Pixies, capping off an astonishing eight-year run for the songwriter. To my mind, his early solo releases are kind of like a West Coast speculative fiction novel mixed with wry memoir, looking back at a weird southern California past and forward to an apocalyptic future.

Frank Black - McCabe’s Guitar Shop, Santa Monica, California, September 21, 1996

Throughout, Frank is extremely relaxed, chatty and expressive. At this point, he had almost completely left behind any trace of the Pixies … except that he breaks out a lovely “Wave of Mutilation” in the middle of this set. I remember that seeming like a bit of a miracle at the time.

Lou Reed - Various Radio Interviews, 1976

Lou is pretty forthcoming and chill, relatively speaking — I think the most spicy he gets is when one DJ asks if he likes The Tubes. Lou does not like The Tubes! Things he does like: New York City, Jimmy Carter, Zuma … and Sandy Denny!

Lou Reed’s Metal Machine Trio - Royal Festival Hall, London, England, April 19, 2010

A night of deep noise! Will this tape of Lou’s Metal Machine Trio ease your worried mind? Maybe, maybe not. But here it is if you need it. In the mid-2000s, Lou joined forces with Sarth Calhoun and Ulrich Krieger to bring his classic 1975 double LP Metal Machine Music to the stage — at long last! Like last week’s Zorn/Anderson collab, this is Reed reclaiming his avant-garde roots, leaving songform behind for the moment and heading straight into the heart of the sun.

Lou Reed - Festival Des Vieilles Charrues, Carhaix, France, July 17, 2011

The overall sound is kinda like a throwback to the Take No Prisoners / Everyman Band days. The setlist at this outdoor festival gig adds to the vibe as well; after a curveball opening “Who Loves The Sun,” Lou leads the band into some very rarely played 1970s numbers: “Senselessly Cruel” from Rock and Roll Heart and “All Through The Night” from The Bells. The latter tune, stretched out over 12 minutes, is a mindless endless boogie, just a vamp repeated on and on into infinity. Pretty good, though! “I wanna take you higher!” Lou bellows at one point, really feeling it.

Lou Reed - Heineken Music Hall, Amsterdam, Netherlands, June 14, 2012

And how about Lou himself? He sounds both fragile and defiant, raging against the dying of the light, full of passionate intensity — surely some Revelation is at hand! He also sounds like he’s enjoying himself, especially on the Lulu tracks, spitting out those incredibly nasty lyrics with glee. But the quieter moments are great, too — Magic and Loss’s “Cremation” is given an almost Irish folk feel, Lou venturing into the slipstream: “The coal black sea waits for me,” he sings, perhaps knowing that the end is near.

John Cale - VPRO Studio, Hilversum, The Netherlands, September 10, 1975 (or 1974?)

In the mid-1980s, John Cale released a live album called John Cale Comes Alive! This radio broadcast from the mid-1970s is more like John Cale Comes Undone! The songwriter is in an angry, combative mood, arguing with the Dutch DJ, refusing to answer his questions, giving him a very hard time. Not coincidentally, Cale also sounds very drunk.

Neil Young - Carnegie Hall, New York City, December 5, 1970

A kinda prickly Neil dealing with annoying fans, feeling a bit out of place in such a legendary venue, perhaps. His whole family was there, too, so he was a little stressed. Even Jack Nicholson showed up, according to Bob Young’s account.

Neil Young - Macky Auditorium, Boulder, Colorado, January 27, 1971

Neil Young incites a riot in Boulder! Well, maybe not exactly. Thanks to a bunch of counterfeit tickets that were sold to unsuspecting fans, a big crowd got rowdy and the cops were called in. Must’ve been a wild winter night on the Hill.

Neil Young - KMET Radio Interview With B. Mitchell Reed, September 1973

In September of 1973, Neil Young went to the radio interview — but he didn’t end up alone at the microphone! KMET DJ B. Mitchell Reed was there to chat for about an hour or so. Young doesn’t sound wasted and woozy — he’s pretty lucid, actually, gamely entertaining Reed’s many questions.

Neil Young & Crazy Horse - The Forum, Inglewood, California, November 4, 1976

This tape has made the rounds over the decades as Old Man’s Fancy; it’s a decent audience recording of a rowdy gig, Neil sounding loose and lively. The electric set is where the sparks really fly, whether on a vicious, vivid “Down By The River” or a swirling, soaring “Like A Hurricane.” Best of all might be the moment at the end of “Drive Back” when Young blasts an insane, dissonant skronk directly into the frontal lobes of the Forum audience. Nasty!

Neil Young with The Trans Band - The Catalyst, Santa Cruz, California, August 13, 1982

Now, when we think of this Neil era, we usually think of his Trans alter ego prowling the stage with a headset and shades, singing “Computer Age” and “Sample and Hold.” But that was not really the focus of his ‘82 shows — they actually boasted very fan-friendly setlists. Plenty of greatest hits, played by a kind of supergroup of Neil’s former collaborators. It’s as though Young looked back at all his previous bands and grabbed some players at random: Bruce Palmer from the Buffalo Springfield, Ralph Molina from Crazy Horse, Ben Keith from the Stray Gators, Nils Lofgren from the Santa Monica Flyers, Joe Lala from CSNY / Stills-Young Band …

Neil Young & Crazy Horse - The Old Princeton Landing, Princeton-By-The-Sea, California, June 9, 1996

This is the Horse at their most laid-back and exploratory, playing plenty of deep cuts and jamming the night away — the first set kicks off with “Cowgirl in the Sand” and the last set ends with “Down By The River” if you need convincing.

Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Werchter Festival, Werchter, Belgium, July 7, 1996

[There was] a sense of grace and dignity about what they were doing … an incredible verve and energy. It was very moving, watching them work under the moon … This grand old man of American rock, a pioneer loaded with integrity … [Young and Crazy Horse] were turning around, like in a tribal circle, very slowly. And it seemed to me that they were doing that to catch back their dreams, to find youth again, to not allow the energy to escape. — David Bowie

Neil Young & Crazy Horse - The Catalyst, Santa Cruz, California, May 19, 1997

Seems like Neil was briefly trying to incorporate Mirror Ball material into the Horse repertoire — there are five songs from that album represented here. And they sound good! “I’m The Ocean” is particularly on point … but strangely, Neil’s only played that song a handful more times since. There are also some new tunes — two versions of the still-unreleased “Modern World,” and beautiful readings of “Horseshoe Man” and “Out of Control.” Is there an unreleased 1997 Crazy Horse album somewhere in the vaults? I’m starting this rumor, even if that album only existed for a couple of weeks in Neil’s mind.

Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers - The Kitchen, New York City, March 1975

The solid audience tape here features OG Modern Lover Ernie Brooks, Andy and Jonathan Paley, Jody Thaxter, and Miranda Remington backing Richman on a set of classic oldies and charming originals (some of which remain unreleased), all performed sans amplification. Although he turns down a request for “Pale Blue Eyes,” the Velvets still loomed large for Jonathan — towards the end of the remarkable 10-minute “Roadrunner” that closes the show, someone adds a sawing Cale-like viola drone. Jonathan had hypnotized the audience yet again.

Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks - Graceland, Seattle, Washington, June 1, 2002

The Jicks hit the sweet spot between well-rehearsed and very very loose, making for an extremely fun listen, with a lot of Malkmus guitar heroics — check out the soaring solos on "Church On White" and "One Percent of One." The whole thing falls apart marvelously at the end when SM takes over on drums and John Moen takes to the mic for a medley of "Satellite of Love" > "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere" > "Let's Spend The Night Together." Times are gonna change, you will be amazed.

Richard Hell and the Voidoids - Great American Saloon, New Haven, Connecticut, Spring 1979 / November 5, 1979

Richard Hell spewed forth his free associative punk poetry like a yelping junkie chihuahua. Freed of playing bass, he leapt around the postage stamp-sized stage at New Haven’s Great American Saloon — formerly the Oxford Ale House — wailing that I was child / who wanted love that was wild / though tight as slow motion / but crazed with devotion in “Love Comes In Spurts and I was sayin let me out of here before I was / ever born. It’s such a gamble when you get a face in the anthemic classic “Blank Generation.” “We’re gonna be brief but intense,” he announced before the start of the second set one night — the perfect summary of the Voidoid’s career. Such as it was.

Richard Hell & The Voidoids - The Longhorn, Minneapolis, Minnesota, July 31, 1979

Two sets of Richard Hell & The Voidoids at the Longhorn, back in the summer of ‘79. Ferocious stuff, with the blistering Quine / Julian twin guitar attack in full effect.

Richard Hell - The Grotto, New Haven, Connecticut, March 9, 1985

This was a short-lived combo fronted by Richard Hell. I don’t think it ever even had a “band name.” As I recall it, Hell played bass and sang, Anton Fier was on drums, Jody Harris played guitar and Ned Harvey was on saxophone. Despite the excessive time spent tuning between songs — Hell even introduces “Jody Harris on tuning pegs” — it’s a cool rarity by a punk legend.

Jon Hassell w/ David Rosenboom - Music Gallery, Toronto, Canada, October 9, 1976

One of the earliest live recordings of Hassell, duetting with tabla-ist David Rosenboom in Toronto, right around the time of Vernal Equinox, the composer's landmark debut LP. A beautiful half-hour of raga-esque modes.

The Feelies - Irving Plaza, New York City, February 14, 1980

The Feelies at their Crazy Rhythms-era height, incredibly propulsive and precise, playing their debut LP in its entirety (in slightly adjusted running order).

Ghost - Terrastock, Pell Chafee Performance Center, Providence, Rhode Island, April 23, 2006

Over the course of 70+ masterful minutes, Ghost takes us from free-form improv abstractions to lean-mean psych, from pastoral balladry to cosmic jams. Don’t think twice — descend into the Hypnotic Underworld!

Joe Henderson Quintet - The Happy Medium, Chicago, Illinois, August 1974

This sounds like a radio broadcast — starts out a little rough but improves quickly, capturing a scintillating show from Joe and co. Not sure if the saxophonist recorded with this particular lineup, but they sound killer as they stretch out and lock in over the course of 90 very nice minutes.

The Incredible String Band - Corries Folk Festival, Edinburgh, Scotland, August 1, 1967

On stage, the Increds would change instruments after every song, with who played what sometimes varying from performance to performance. Then everything had to be miked, which meant that it could take an hour to get through three songs — but I loved all of it. — Richard Thompson

Luna - The Sinclair, Cambridge, Massachusetts, August 25, 2018 / The Warehouse, Fairfield, Connecticut, August 26, 2018

The band play an energetic set to a full house of devoted fans loudly cheering and singing along, a mix of Luna favorites from throughout the band’s career and covers.

Air - International New Jazz Festival, Moers, Germany, May 29, 1977

More than hour’s worth of sun-kissed free jazz, packed with adventure, melody and curiosity. Organic music!

Alex Chilton - Richard Frey’s Loft, 246 Bowery, New York City, November 1, 1977

An audio verite document of the one and only Alex Chilton playing records late into the night at a pal’s loft back in ‘77. The pal was Richard Frey, a CBGB scene fixture — he hit “record” on his tape machine and captured the moment, as Chilton spins Sam the Sham, the Mindbenders, the Beatles, the Beach Boys and many more!

Grant Lee Phillips - Club Passim, Cambridge, Massachusetts, August 11, 2019

Even though Phillips’ stuff generally leans toward the melancholy, he remains fairly hilarious in between those sad songs, keeping the audience in stitches throughout. Things get especially good when opener Phillip B. Price comes onstage to lend a hand on backing vocals. “Perhaps there’s nothing more manly than two adult men singing high falsetto together,” Phillips quips.

MANK part en tête d’une course aux Oscars bien bizarre

Je me suis réveillé tantôt, j'ai parti la cafetière, puis en checkant Twitter, je me suis dit: "Ah oui, c'est vrai, les nominations des Oscars ont été dévoilées." 

 C’est la première année depuis une éternité où je ne suis pas au poste au moment où les nominations des Oscars sont annoncées. Je l’ai déjà dit, mais je suis assez désinteressé cette année par cette course aux remises de prix où sont honorés des films que presque personne n’a pu voir sur grand écran, pandémie oblige. 

Oui, il y a d’excellents films en lice, comme Nomadland, Sound of Metal et Promising Young Woman. Il y en a aussi que je vais essayer de voir prochainement, Minari notamment. Mais je n’ai pas l’impression qu’il y ait de gros titres qui ont enflammé la planète cinéma comme par exemple Parasite, Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood ou même le divisif Joker l’an dernier.

J’ai vu Mank de David Fincher sur Netflix, j’ai trouvé ça correct, mais c’est loin d’être un film marquant pour moi. Je reviens quand même sur Nomadland, un de mes préférés de 2020 (même s’il ne sortira techniquement pas en salle au Québec avant avril 2021) - ce sera un bon moment de voir Chloé Zhao probablement remporter l’Oscar de la Meilleure réalisation. Il y a plein d’actrices et d’acteurs talentueux qui sont en nomination. Je serais content que Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross soient récompensés pour la musique de Soul. Je trouve ça plate que TENET de Christopher Nolan ait presque été complètement ignoré.

Mais dans l’ensemble, je suis assez indifférent face à tout ça. Je vais sûrement regarder le gala quand même, en espérant que ce ne soit pas un désastre avec des fenêtres Zoom comme les Golden Globes...

540 Local Elected Officials From All 50 States Urge Prez Trump to Import More Refugees to U.S.

Joe Biden has promised to make this happen, including taking in foreigners from terrorist hotspots around the world. In fact, Joe Biden was one of the original architects of the fraud-ridden refugee program that has destroyed neighborhoods across the U.S.

by Ann Corcoran

I told you here that the refugee industry was working on a letter to the President urging him to get the refugee flow into America moving again.

Yesterday they sent the letter with 540 signatories.

Says Amnesty International:

By signing this letter, these elected officials have joined together to voice their commitment to welcoming refugees in their communities and reviving the United States’ legacy as a leader in refugee resettlement.

I notice something missing from the letter. It avoids giving the President a number, but the industry has made it very clear!

They want 95,000 refugees to begin arriving on October first.

The President could make a decision this month on how many refugees might be invited to live in the US in FY2021. He could also legally set the ceiling at zero.

All of my posts on the topic are tagged FY2021.

Here are the signatories from yesterday.  The list is handy for identifying those local elected officials who are changing America by changing the people.

I don’t know why the organizers think that these open borders advocates will hold any sway with the President, but they sure make it handy for you to identify the other side where you live. Target them for retirement when they come up for re-election!

(For a little additional fun, see last year’s list here.)

They say the list is bipartisan, but there is no indication of party affiliation.  You will need to look through those listed in your state to see if Republicans are among those looking to import more poverty to your city.

ELLIS IN FREEDOMLAND

Spring 1952

Directed by Abby Berlin Produced by Roland D. Reed Written by Arthur Hoerl Music by Albert Colombo Choreography by Alex Romero

Synopsis ~ A 82 minute, technicolor promotional film for salesmen of Westinghouse appliances, featuring the voices of major Hollywood celebrities. Westinghouse claims its electric appliances "freed women from the drudgery of housework." The first half involves dream salesman Ellis at work; the second focuses on the "Spring Sales Event," called "Freedomland."

Westinghouse Electric Corporation was founded on January 8, 1886 by George Westinghouse (1846–1914). The corporation purchased CBS in 1995.

Live Cast

Robert Rockwell (Ellis Homan) is probably best remembered as biology teacher Mr. Boynton on the Desilu series “Our Miss Brooks” (1952-56). Although not the first to play Mr. Boynton, he assumed the role on radio and made the transition with the show to television. He played Viv’s handsome match in “Lucy Digs Up a Date” (TLS S1;E2) the second installment of “The Lucy Show” in 1962. He then played night school teacher Jack Scott in “The Not-So-Popular Mechanics” (HL S5;E23). He continued working until 1995 and died in 2003 at age 82.  

Robert Carson (Phil Pryor, Westinghouse Representative) was a busy Canadian-born character actor who appeared on six episodes of “The Lucy Show” and made five appearance on “Here’s Lucy.” 

Byron Foulger (Andy, Night Watchman)  played the leader of the Friends of the Friendless in “Lucy’s Last Birthday” (ILL S2;E25). He appeared on “The Lucy Show” in “My Fair Lucy” (TLS S3;E20) and “Lucy Meets the Law” (TLS S5;E19).

Ann O'Neal (Customer in Mink) appeared in more than 100 films in the 1940s including the Lucille Ball film Lover Come Back (1946).

Betty Furness (Herself, Spokeswoman for Westinghouse) was an actress and model who became the face and voice of Westinghouse in many television commercials. When “The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour” was sponsored by Westinghouse, Furness appeared with Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz in commercials for their products. 

The Starlighters (Vocals) was a singing group that performed mainly as backing vocalists, frequently backing Jo Stafford as well as many other artists on a number of singles. They also performed songs in cartoon and live short films and the feature films Song of Idaho (1948) and With a Song in My Heart (1952). 

Voice Cast

Lucille Ball (Lina the Laundromat) was then filming the second half of her first season of “I Love Lucy” playing Lucy Ricardo, although her voice alone was familiar to radio audiences as Liz Cooper in “My Favorite Husband.”

Edward Arnold (Speedy the Range) lends his deep baritone voice to the role. He appeared with Lucille Ball in Roman Scandals (1933) and Ziegfeld Follies (1945). He died in 1956.

James Mason (Frosty the Refrigerator) was a three time Oscar-nominee who appeared as Lucille Ball’s Angel in Forever Darling (1956).

Percy Kilbride (Drip the Dehumidifier) was best remembered as Pa Kettle in a series of films from 1947 to 1954. 

Jerry Colonna (Chop-Along Waste-Away the Garbage Disposal) was a comic sidekick of Bob Hope on radio and television. In 1966 he played Smithers, Lucille Ball’s chauffeur on “Bob Hope’s Leading Ladies”. 

Andy Devine (Lanky the Water Heater) brought his high-pitched raspy voice to the film. He was known for his many appearances in westerns on both the small and big screen. 

Marie Wilson (Dinah the Dryer) is best known for playing the title role in the film and television series “My Friend Irma”.  Later in 1952, Wilson and Lucille Ball were both part of “Stars in the Eye” celebrating the opening of CBS Television Center. Coincidentally, Gale Gordon’s mother Gloria was also in “My Friend Irma” and on “The Lucy Show” Mr. Mooney’s off-screen wife was named Irma in her honor. 

Maureen O'Sullivan (Pearly the Dishwasher) played Jane in the early Tarzan films.  Her career lasted from 1930 to 1994. In 1987, Lucille Ball and O’Sullivan were two of the many stars in “Happy 100th Birthday, Hollywood”. 

Mannequins

Jack Mulhall appeared with Lucille Ball in Broadway Bill (1934).

Alan Hale Jr. (Hunter) will forever be remembered as the Skipper on “Gilligan’s Island” but also appeared with Lucille Ball on “The Lucy Show” and “Here’s Lucy”.  

Iron Eyes Cody (Chief Running Water) made a career of playing Native American characters despite the fact that he was of Italian ancestry. He first worked with Lucy and Desi in 1940’s Too Many Girls and 1942’s Valley of the Sun both as an Indian character. He played an Eskimo in a 1959 episode of “The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour,” but is probably best remembered as the Indian that sheds a single tear in the ‘Keep America Beautiful’ ads that ran from 1971 to the 1980s. He played a Navajo Medicine Man in “Lucy and the Indian Chief” (HL S2;E3). 

Willie Best (Chauffeur) was one of the most popular African-American actors of Hollywood's Golden Era. He starred alongside some of film's great comedians including the Marx Brothers, Bob Hope, Laurel and Hardy, and three films with Shirley Temple. He did one film with Lucille Ball: Muss ‘em Up (1936). 

Karen Sharpe appeared on the “Westinghouse Desilu Playhouse” in 1959.

Mickey Simpson appeared with Lucille Ball in the 1939 film Panama Lady. 

Anthony Sydes (Bobby, the Boy in Buster Brown Outfit) was 8 years old at the time of filming. He left the business in 1958 and died in 2015 at age 74. 

With...

Lisa Abbott, Mildred Coles,  Richard Crane, Nancy Hadley, Noreen Michaels, Crystal Reeves, Darla Ridgeway, Anne Rubin, Carol Lowe, Frances Zucco

Uncredited Cast

Ralph Brooks (Stove Demonstrator) appeared in four films with Lucille Ball, as well as “The Lucy-Desi Milton Berle Special” and “Lucy Goes to Las Vegas” (TLS S3;E17). 

Sam Harris (Showroom Guest) did a dozen films with Lucille Ball before appearing in the audience of Over the Teacups in “Ethel’s Birthday” (ILL S4;E8) and playing a subway passenger in “Lucy and the Loving Cup” (ILL S6;E12). In between, he was a wedding guest in Lucy and Desi’s film Forever Darling (1956). Along with Monty O'Grady and Murray Pollack, he was in the airport when “The Ricardos Go to Japan” in 1959.

Stuart Holmes (Showroom Guest) appeared with Lucille Ball in Lover Come Back (1946) and Critic’s Choice (1963).

Hans Moebus (Washer / Dryer Demonstrator) appeared as an uncredited background performer in hundreds of movies and TV shows, including the Lucille Ball films DuBarry Was a Lady (1943), A Woman of Distinction (1950) and The Facts of Life (1960). He was seen on the dock during the “I Love Lucy” episode “Bon Voyage” (ILL S5;E13) and part of the riverboat chorus in “Lucy Meets Arthur Godfrey” (TLS S3;E23).  

Charles Sherlock (Television Viewer) appeared in three feature films with Lucille Ball from 1935 to 1963.

PART ONE - DON’T MEET COMPETITION, MAKE IT!

Westinghouse Rep Phil Pryer meets salesman Ellis Homan at his office on the department store showroom. Ellis tells Phil about the time he dozed off at his desk and the mannequins came to life: menswear, formal wear, beach wear, and (inexplicably) an American Indian in full regalia. Frosty the Refrigerator (James Mason) gets Ellis’ attention to demonstrate his frost-free features, as well as his unique butter tray and meat keeper. 

Ellis then has a conversation with Speedy the Electric Range (Edward Arnold) about all its features. Ellis even makes coffee and cookies for Mabel, a mannequin standing in for a ‘prospect’.  

MABEL: “Ellis, you’re cute. I wish you were a dummy.”

Ellis then has a chat with Pearly the Dishwasher (Maureen O’Sullivan) and Chop-Along Waste-Away the Garbage Disposal (Jerry Colonna), who sings during his demonstration. 

Lanky the Water Heater (Andy Devine) is upset because no one pays him much attention. Pearly draws Ellis’s attention to the drip who has shown up in the showroom lately, the Dehumidifier (Percy Kilbride) who promises to rid homes of damaging dampness.

Chiming in (literally) Lina the Laundromat (Lucille Ball) and Dinah the Dryer (Marie Wilson) sing their greeting. Known as ‘The Westinghouse Twins’, they often finish each others’ sentences and speak at the same time - all in aid of showing that they are a perfect freedom-fighting duo in a home. Ellis demonstrates a typical wash cycle. 

PART TWO - FREEDOM FAIR

Back in the present, Phil tells Ellis that Westinghouse is sponsoring radio and television coverage of the summer’s 1952 Republican and Democratic conventions, with ‘Get Out the Vote’ programs to follow. In the meantime, Phil tells Ellis about the big Spring Selling Event - Freedom Fair.  The event will be rolled out in the April 11, 1952 issue of Life Magazine and the April 16, 1952 issue of the Saturday Evening Post. On television, it will be announced by Betty Furness on “Studio One”.  

After Phil leaves, the scene changes to a typical suburban couple’s bedroom where the morning alarm has just gone off. The bedraggled housewife dances through the home trying to get ready for the day ahead - despite the fact that she does not have any time-saving Westinghouse electric appliances. As the harried husband downs a quick cup of coffee and dashes off to work, the song begins (with offscreen vocals by the Starlighters) and the frustrated housewife realizes just how much work she has ahead of her to clean her home. Just then an ethereal voice sings the name “Westinghouse! Westinghouse!” and there is suddenly a handsome young salesman ringing her doorbell. He sings:

“They say that Lincoln freed the slaves, With that I disagree. Women have been slaves for years Till Westinghouse set them free!”

He whisks her away to ‘Westinghousewives’ Heaven’ where all the products we previously saw demonstrated are extolled in joyous song, some even have angel wings! The housewife (still in her curlers and pajamas) ducks behind a cloud and is suddenly revealed in a diaphanous white gown complete with apron!  Amid a large group of ballet dancers, the Westinghousewife and Salesman dance in blissful happiness.

At the last moment the Starlighters appear and sing to us about Westinghouse, while the dancers swirl merrily around the May Pole!

Stereotypes

This film is obviously aimed at a male sales force. All the ‘prospects’ are assumed to be female and referred to in such terms as “the little lady”. The female mannequins are only interested in Ellis as romantic partners. Clearly, housewives were the main target of male salesmen. 

The film also presents a stereotypical black chauffeur, the only person of color in the cast. The actor is asked to pull comical faces that make him appear silly - the source of humor

“Mmmm. There’s gonna be a watermelon missin’, ‘round here.” 

Needless to say, that an American Indian chasing a scantily clad Caucasian woman around the store plays on stereotypical images of predatory Native Americans. The actor playing the Chief is Iron Eyes Cody, who, despite his name, was born Espera Oscar de Corti, an Italian-American. When trying to communicate all he says is “Ugg!”

Homosexuals don’t escape either. A man with an effeminate manner and lisping voice wearing a coonskin cap swishes in to say “Hello, Fellas” with a toss of the raccoon tail he swans off. The two men in suits look uncomfortable and deny knowing him.

Voice casting reflects gender stereotypes of the time. Cooling and heating appliances are voiced by men while washing appliances are voiced by women.

Trivia

Lucille Ball’s participation in this film may have influenced or been influenced by the fact that for the first season of “I Love Lucy” Lucy Ricardo had a 1951 Westinghouse Frost-Free refrigerator in her kitchen - very similar to “Frosty” - the model shown here in the film. It was widely promoted in print publications and on TV during 1951. Previously, the freezer cabinet had to be thawed manually when frost and ice built up in and around it.  

LUCY: “Didn’t you watch the conventions on television?”

Phil tells Ellis that Westinghouse will take out extensive advertising on radio and TV during the Conventions. In July 1952 both the Republican and Democratic National Conventions were televised live from Chicago. Although the conventions were also televised in 1948, few Americans owned a TV set to watch them. This time, an estimated 70 million voters watched the broadcasts, which ended with the nominations of Adlai Stevenson II and Dwight D. Eisenhower. There is a popular myth that Stevenson lost the election because of backlash from interrupting airings of “I Love Lucy” with hour-long campaign ads. Perhaps from Westinghouse?  The conventions were mentioned on “I Love Lucy” (appropriately) in “The Club Election” (ILL S2;E19) which aired in February 1953. However, it was filmed in September 1952, when the reference would have been much more timely.  By the time it eventually aired, Eisenhower had been inaugurated and the conventions were a distant memory. 

Distribution: Who Saw It - The film series reached 25,000 dealers in 75 cities in a single week. Released in Technicolor and in 16mm. Longest of four dealer promotion films in a two-hour series produced to promote Westinghouse home appliances.

The wall calendar above Ellis’s desk matches the calendar for January 1952, which was likely the filming date. The calendar depicts a loaf of bread with the brand name redacted for filming. On the table close to the bottom of the frame are copies of Life Magazine. Later on, Ellis makes instant coffee from a jar labeled Maxwell House Coffee, although the dish washing detergent and the food in the fridge are obviously props with no brand identification.  The laundry soap, however, is clearly labelled ‘All’ but is not in their usual bright colored packaging. 

Blooper Alerts! 

Dates! Phil tells Ellis that Freedom Fair will be announced in the April 11 issue of Life. However, the issue is actually dated April 7, 1952, not April 11. Interestingly, copies of Life Magazine are used as set decoration in Ellis’s office. Similarly, the April 16 edition of the Saturday Evening Post is really dated April 12.  

Weather Forecast! The put-upon housewife at the end of the film realizes her wash is still on the line when there is a sudden cloudburst (she does not own an electric dryer). The next moment, she answers the door to the Westinghouse Salesman and it is a clear day. Not really a blooper, just an indication that Westinghouse makes a rainy day into a sunny one - at least in the movies!

Fast Forward!

“Westinghouse Desilu Playhouse” was a television anthology series produced by Desilu Productions. The show ran on CBS between 1958 and 1960. Two of its 48 episodes served as pilots for the 1950s television series “The Twilight Zone” and “The Untouchables.” It also presented 11 of the 13 episodes of “The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour” after its initial sponsorship by Ford.  

In joining forces with Desilu, Westinghouse canceled their other anthology series “Studio One” which ran on CBS from 1948 to 1958. 

To kick off the partnership between Desilu and Westinghouse, a similar film (informally titled “Lucy Buys Westinghouse”) was produced which depicted Lucy and Desi giving a Westinghouse Executive a tour of their studio, formerly RKO. All through the tour, much to the dismay of Desi, Lucy is trying to order appliances for her dressing room from the executive!  At the end, Lucy appears inside a Westinghouse dryer - hiding from Desi!  Like Ellis in Freedomland, this film was only shown to Westinghouse employees. Unlike Ellis, it was filmed in black and white - only later colorized for home video. Throughout the film, Desi mispronounces the company’s name as “Westin-Gouse” and its spokesperson as Betty “Furnace”.  

During that time, the cast often did long-form commercials for Westinghouse. Here, Betty Furness and Vivian Vance join Lucille Ball to talk about the 1959 Westinghouse washing machine, the same type of appliance Ball voiced in this film seven years earlier. 

Naturally, during this period Lucy Ricardo had the most up-to-date Westinghouse appliances in her Westport home. Like this two-toned refrigerator and freezer.

Back in New York City, the Ricardos owned a Westinghouse Clock Radio! 

The Handy Dandy vacuum cleaner was actually a Westinghouse model! 

In 1954, Lucy made breakfast with her Westinghouse "Grill-n-Waffler" Waffle Iron - if only she can remember to pay the electricity bill, that is! 

Lucy squeezes oranges for juice with her Westinghouse Model #FM-511 Food Crafter with juicer attachment (sold separately). 

Lucy owned two different models of the Westinghouse Commander Super-Corox Range. This 1950 model was used during season one...

...and this 1954 Model on a later season. It looks similar to the 1950 model, but the controls have a different layout.

In 1953, ownership of a washing machine was a point of contention between the Ricardos and Mertzes. The appliance used in the episode is labeled Epernay (a fictional brand). In actuality, it is probably a Launderall Horton 500 with gas stove handles affixed to the sides to help move it back and forth on the narrow porch.

Lucy uses the washing machine (a lot!) in Yours, Mine and Ours (1968). It is impossible to see what brand it is. 

Coincidentally, in April 1952, “I Love Lucy” did an episode titled “The Freezer” (ILL S1;E29) where Lucy and Ethel want to buy a home freezer to economize, but end up buying a walk-in model instead. In Jess Oppenheimer’s book, he states that newspapers and magazines were full of ads for home freezers at the time. Once they came up with the idea of Lucy getting trapped in the freezer, they had to abandon the home freezer idea for a larger, walk-in model.  

In 1966, a TV musical titled “Evening Primrose” with music by Stephen Sondheim and a book by George Furth, also explored the idea of department store mannequins coming to life. Anthony Perkins starred. 

The idea of anthropomorphized laundry room appliances was also explored in the 2004 Broadway musical Caroline, or Change, in which actors played embodiment of the Washing Machine and the Dryer.  A revival of the musical was on track for Broadway but interrupted by the Corona Virus pandemic. 

In 1987, the film Mannequin starring Andrew McCarthy and Kim Cattrall also explored the idea of department store mannequin coming to life. It was partly based on the 1948 film One Touch of Venus, although in that film, the mannequin was a statue.
