Milton Berle was the first major American television star and known to millions as “Uncle Milty.” Berle was referred to as Mr. Television in the golden age of TV. As a child he was Buster Brown for Buster Brown Shoes. He had parts in several films, appeared on many TV shows including hosting Saturday Night Live and the Muppet Show. He did some stand-up comedy and had a comedy variety radio show. Maybe you remember the Milton Berle Show with Arnold Stang and deep voiced announcer Frank Gallop. Uncle Milty was probably best known for hosting the “Texaco Star Theatre” where he dominated the Nielsen ratings with a 97 percent share of the viewing audience. He won Emmys for the show and even caused an increase in the sales of televisions.

As the host of NBC's Texaco Star Theater (1948-55), he was the first major American television star and was known to millions of viewers as “Uncle Miltie” and “Mr. Television.” From 1934-36, Berle appeared regularly on Rudy Vallee's radio show. In 1939, he became host of Stop Me If You've Heard This One with panelists spontaneously finishing jokes sent in by listeners. In the late 1940s, he cancelled high-paying nightclub appearances to expand his radio career. His Philip Morris-sponsored show aired on NBC in 1947 and 1948. Scripted by Hal Block and Martin Ragaway, The Milton Berle Show brought Berle together with Arnold Stang. Others in the cast were Pert Kelton, Mary Shipp, Jack Albertson, Arthur Q. Bryan and Ed Begley. It served as a springboard for Berle's emergence as television's first major star.

Originally broadcast as The Adventures of Helen and Mary, radio's preeminent children's show first took to the air on September 7th, 1929 over CBS. It became Let's Pretend on March 24th, 1934. Hosted by “Uncle” Bill Adams, it was in many ways the brainchild of Nila Mack, who penned, produced, and directed each show. Ms Mack was born in 1891 in Kansas and became an ingenue on Broadway and in vaudeville. She arrived at CBS in 1928, and in August 1930 assumed control of the show. Mack felt the best way to tell a children's story was to let the children tell it. Acting talent could play a lead one week and a character part the next. She soon became CBS director of children's programming. One of Ms. Mack's staples was her open door policy. Any child could audition. She was responsible for developing two generations of some of the best child-turned-adult acting talent in radio history, like Arnold Stang. Radio Guide wrote that Ms Mack instantly knew if a child had it. If so, he or she would be given a small part and slowly work their way up to lead roles. Perhaps Newsweek said it best in 1943: “Let's Pretend is filled with kings and queens who ride talking horses through enchanted forests. It has maidens who must be rescued from witches, dragons, and dwarfs. Its characters travel in coaches, wear purple robes through emerald halls into jade rooms, and drink from golden goblets.” Cream of Wheat became the sponsor that year. It was a partnership that lasted until 1952. At 2PM on Saturday June 5th, 1954, Let's Pretend signed on the air over CBS in New York. Unfortunately, Nila Mack passed away from a heart attack on January 20th, 1953, but the show kept on. In its final two years the Nila Mack Award was given to the top players. The show would air until October 23rd, 1954. And thanks to Ms Mack, men and women like Arnold Stang were able to have long careers.

This is a snippet from Breaking Walls Episode 98: Christmas Week 1947 with Radio's Biggest Stars ———————————— For the four major radio networks, 1947 was a year or record business: ABC saw a 7.25% gross billings increase. NBC sold out its entire primetime programming block. CBS had seventeen shows with ratings higher than fifteen. And Mutual Broadcasting had the most affiliates in the country. Total radio revenue was over five-hundred million dollars. There were now more than thirty-six million radio homes, and urban centers accounted for 60% of the US population. It was in this season that Milton Berle finally established himself on radio. The Milton Berle Show was one of a half-dozen titles showcasing Berle in his star-crossed radio career. Until 1946 he was considered radio's best-known ratings failure. But NBC saw potential in Berle where CBS had failed. In March of 1947 they gave him his own variety show, sponsored by Philip Morris. It featured some of radio's top comedic talent, like Arnold Stang, Pert Kelton, Arthur Q. Bryan, Jack Albertson, Ed Begley and Frank Gallop. In its second season on NBC Tuesdays at 8:00 p.m, the show's audience jumped 40% and Berle finally cracked radio's Top 50. In December his rating was 17.5 against Big Town on CBS.

A Minnie, a Mamie, and a Mary walk into a complicated, possibly polyamorous romantic friendship. Writer Marne Litfin lets me tell them a story involving M. Carey Thomas: famous suffragette, early Bryn Mawr College president, and complicated, racist historical figure. Mary Garrett, Mamie Gwinn, Alfred and Jessie Hodder, two ill-fated Olives, and even Gertrude Stein make appearances in this old timey scandal. Stay tuned for more about the Friday evening; I'm not done with them yet! SHOW NOTES: This episode is presented to you (and is inspired) by To Believe in Women: What Lesbians Have Done for America by Lillian Faderman. The other Lillian Faderman book we mentioned is called Odd Girls and Twilight Lovers. “Coercive philanthropy” is a term often used in tandem with Mary Garrett and first wave feminists of that time period, whereas I don't see it used widely today, even though, as Marne pointed out, it still happens. Case in point: You can read an article on coercive philanthropist Charles Munger on CNN, with the great title “Warren Buffett's billionaire partner bankrolls windowless dorm. An architect quit.” Check out https://www.researchholepodcast.com/ for the pictures of the Friday evening and Alfred Hodder that we look at during the show. A great way to learn about the life of character and voice actor Arnold Stang is through his wonderful obituary in the New York Times. But you can also watch his string of chunky commercials here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jpg2liApM0A. (Marne and I got through about five.) Other sources for this episode include the books The Power and Passion of M. Carey Thomas by Helen Lefkowitz Horowitz and Mary Elizabeth Garrett: Society and Philanthropy in the Gilded Age by Kathleen Waters Sanders.

Excerpt of the 11 Dec 1947 broadcast of the Kraft Music Hall, starring Al Jolson.

In June of 1974 Arnold Stang, who had a several decade radio career, was a guest of Dick Bertel and Ed Corcoran on WTIC's The Golden Age of Radio (full interview here - https://www.goldenage-wtic.org/gaor-51.html). As a young man, Stang developed the archetype for the "nerd" character, which has since been copied many times.

Born into a stiff, lower middle class Austrian background just after the war, Arnold Schwarzenegger rebelled from his rigid father and proscribed life at an early age, eschewing the family plans for his life and career to pursue a rocky road in the dubious world of bodybuilding. Idolizing the likes of up and coming cinematic pepla stars like Steve Reeves and especially Reg Park, the young Arnold followed his dreams from breaking into local gyms to work out on off hours to participating in international contests and a solo move to America, without even possessing a proper command of the English language. Catching the attention of big names in the physical fitness field like Britain's Wag Bennett and America's Joe Wieder, the young up and comer became the face of Wieder's supplement and equipment empire for many a year, his association with the famed Muscle and Fitness magazine running well into recent years. Taking major titles like Mr. Olympia and Mr. Universe multiple times apiece, by the time the documentary Pumping Iron popularized what had been seen as something of a mockable geek sideshow into the exercise craze of the past 40 years, he'd already starred in two feature films as lead or top billed costar to big names like Jeff Bridges, Sally Field and even ubiquitous comedian/voice actor Arnold Stang...and the best was yet to come. For with the dawn of the 1980s came a starring role in a grim, philosophical take on Robert E. Howard's famed barbarian warrior and king...and a long career in quip-heavy, surprisingly light hearted action cinema began. Parlaying his successes in both bodybuilding and cinema into a political career, he's become not only a two term state governor, but expanding his ostensible party politik to become one of the more outspoken voices both for green initiatives and against perhaps the most corrupt administration ever to sit in office... Always surprising, never stagnating, tonight we celebrate the life and films of the Austrian Oak and Governator himself, the inimitable Arnold Schwarzenegger!

The Milton Berle Show - In 1934-36, Berle was heard regularly on The Rudy Vallee Hour, and he got much publicity as a regular on The Gillette Original Community Sing, a Sunday night comedy-variety program broadcast on CBS from September 6, 1936 to August 29, 1937.

Founded in New York City in 1918 by Lawrence Langner (1890-1962) and others, the group proposed to produce high-quality, noncommercial plays. Its board of directors shared responsibility for choice of plays, management, and production. After the premiere of George Bernard Shawâs Heartbreak House in 1920, the Guild became his U.S. agent and staged 15 of his plays. It also produced successful plays by Eugene OâNeill, Maxwell Anderson, and Robert Sherwood and featured actors such as the Lunts and Helen Hayes. It helped develop the American musical by staging Porgy and Bess (1935), Oklahoma! (1943), and Carousel (1945); later also producing the radio series Theatre Guild on the Air (1945-53) and even presented plays on television.THIS EPISODE:February 24, 1946. ABC network. "Dead End".

The Ray Bloch Orchestra provided the music for the series. Sponsored by Philip Morris, it aired on NBC from March 11, 1947, until April 13, 1948. His last radio series was The Texaco Star Theater, which began September 22, 1948 on ABC and continued until June 15, 1949, with Berle heading the cast of Stang, Kelton and Gallop, along with Charles Irving, Kay Armen and double-talk specialist Al Kelly. It employed top comedy writers (Nat Hiken, brothers Danny and Neil Simon, Aaron Ruben), and Berle later recalled this series as "the best radio show I ever did... a hell of a funny variety show." It served as a springboard for Berle's rise as television's first major star.
