Barclay Allen's accident happened in 1949 [8:15], so this is a 1951 broadcast. Allen lived to the age of 48, passing away in Del Mar, California on December 7, 1966.

Freddy Martin was one of the greatest entertainers of all time!!! The entertainers of today aren't as good as those of the big band era!!!

A great very early and WELL DONE TV Variety Show.
Still holds its own and puts some of today's variety shows to shame, I think.

I don't think we have variety show today...If we did, it wouldn't be any good..This one had some good songs
At least we have variety here .
I am listening to Merv singing his hit song back then.
It was good of Freddy to help young Merv Griffin out.
