Benny vs Allen: Boxing

Fred Allen meets Rochester (racial slur?)

In 1938, during the famous Fred Allen-Jack Benny "feud", Allen got the chance to meet Rochester, Benny's butler. It really sounds to me as if he racially insults him by calling him a "nougatine Jeeves." What do you think?

How many dogs did Kate Smith own?

Not a big fan of singing cowpokes - but I love Gene Autry

Jack Benny - not feuding with  Fred Allen for a change

Back to feuding.  I think that's Mary Martin in the middle.  Fred Allen is about to die?

I think I post more pics of Baby Snooks than anyone else.  Good for me.

Prior to this post, there were only 6 or 8 photos of the magnificent Parley Baer on the internet.  Now there are 3 more.

A nice depiction of George Burns and Gracie Allen, circa 1938.

John Brown was part of Benny-Allen 'feud'

You can find an autobiography of John Brown here, at the Digital Deli (Scroll down near the bottom)
