My Aunt Beverly dancing on a television show in 1950. She was Miss New Orleans Television and one of 13 finalist for Miss US Television.
The show was broadcast live nationwide by the DuMont network from the Chicago Fair on September 30,1950.
The DuMont network was the 2nd TV network in the country behind NBC. Sadly the network went off the air in 1954. This footage was from one of the few surviving Kinescopes film reels from the network.
I highlighted your Aunt Beverly's performance in my video [ "Miss U.S. Television Grand Finals" 1950 featuring winner Edie Adams (Edited Version) ] presenting segments of the kinescoped performance. Do you have any more info to share about your Aunt Beverly's performance with the other young ladies and especially Edie Adams?
