Looks like a TV version of Hellzapoppin, the hugely popular 1930s stage revue.
I'm reasonably sure the "Mary Rogers" listed in the closing credits is Mary Rodgers, Richard's daughter.

Wonderful! My childhood was permanently disfigured by a scene in this show where someone pulled a Cannon bath towel out of a giant can of spaghetti. Very Ernie Kovacs-ish and I think, an influence on "What's My Line"'s later opening credits.

Score! I remember this. Thank you for posting this forgotten chestnut.

She was also Miss Rheingold, remember that?

I had no idea video of this even existed. Thanks. The credits over the signs is really distracting. You can't pick out Alan Sues.
Kathy Kersh, btw, was later married to Burt Ward.

I noticed that, too, on the CARTOON BREW site.RIP..

The ending is so abrupt, it's a bit off-putting.

This was Jay Ward's only project for CBS- an unsold 1964 live-action comedy/variety pilot (videotaped, preserved on kinescope). The network ultimately wasn't interested in a forerunner of "LAUGH-IN". It was seen only once...

!!! Wow I never heard of this.
I noticed one of the writers was Bob Arbogast, who wrote the similiarly styled
Roger Ramjet (for "Pantomime Pictures").
