Amazing that a newspaper strike could really harm things like Broadway back then. Today if newspapers completely disappeared no one under 50 would even bat an eye.
When you watch these WML - all the cards will have a general outline of the particular sposored product , in siloette more often than not , in the 50's sponsors crudely attempted what was termed product recognition, by virtue of the shape of the container- i.e. Coke cola bottle etc.
TV was in its infancy then and these were mostly brand name ads which was the selling point for the Tv industry - a big tv show would be "carried" by a sponsor Danny Thomas > POST cereal Diana Shore > Chevrolet
Newspaper strike at this time that Jayne Meadows mentions. I remember strikes in 1962 and 1970s. Now, with the prevalence of the Internet, have we seen the last newspaper strike?
i adore all of them. Except for Bennett. He can suck it.

In the video "Jayne Meadows ~ What Is A Husband (HQ)" there's another appearance as a guest, but that segment apparently isn't here.
