Interesting photo dump/April 5th


Hanley Stafford, no doubt wondering what Baby Snooks is up to...



Is that the WEIRD mask?



Lum and Abner!

Claire Trevor and Edward G. Robinson - stars on 1938's Big Town

Publicty stunt

You may recall this article I posted a while back where Judy Canova talked about a supposed romance between Edgar Bergen and herself that was broken up because of Bergen loved Charlie McCarthy more than her (or...something like that.)

I found this from 1937 where the paper states that Canova broke a show engagement with Bergen because of "playing second fiddle to a dummy."

All in all, it seems pretty silly now and how niave are you if you believed this hooey; however, I imagine in 1937 people were subject to believe in almost anything (War of the Worlds, etc.)

THIS MADE THE FRONT PAGE!

But seriously.
