Another gem from the vaults of InternetArchive is this clip from this 1950's tv show called "You Asked For It". The show, sponsored by Skippy, took letters from people who wanted to see something. In this case a lady had heard about a musical instrument that you played without touching it. The thereminist Paula Mary is somewhat of an enigma in the theremin community they admire her skill in this clip but not much is known about her.
If you like this and want a copy of your own it's available for free downloading here. http://www.archive.org/details/Asked_For_It_2 The Theremin is an instrument that from the sci fi movies that sounds other worldly. The story of it and it's Russian inventor is very interesting there was a film made about 20 years ago that's well worth watching. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108323/

  • One of thee most wonderful clips I've ever seen, and I do mean ever! Marvellous all the way!! Any place to find this and related on DVD media? I'm completely sold (and yeah, I've knøwn about Theremins for decades, it's got nothing to do with that part of it).

  • @diddywahdaddy Don't know about commercial DVD but I've added a link to the film and you can download it and make your own.

  • Wonderful! (I have a theremin.)

  • @PokeyGreen Well post some videos up of you playing it

  • I bet she was good with a needle and cotton too............as well as tossing off her man...;)

  • @MindsiMedia : Naah, I'm not very good--at all. I will spare the world that much. My "music" sounds like a sick sci-fi movie.
