The Larry Kane Show (1950's)

The Larry Kane Show was Houston's local alternative to national teen music programs like American Bandstand and the Lloyd Thaxton Show. Larry Kane ran Saturday afternoons for several years beginning in the late 50s into the early 70s. Featured performers included touring acts like The Electric Prunes and Jefferson Airplane. Local Texas stars like The Sweetarts, Fever Tree, The Clique, and 13th Floor Elevators were also frequent guests. Because of the popularity of The Larry Kane Show in Houston, American Bandstand was not shown locally for many years. The dancers on the show had to take dancing lessons before they could appear live on TV.

The Three Stooges Trailers

Classic trailers for Stop! Look! and Laugh! and Have Rocket, Will Travel. Here is an interesting fact about these two films I found in Wikipedia:

Stop! Look! and Laugh! was a feature-length Three Stooges compilation featuring all of the supposed original Three Stooges, Moe Howard, Larry Fine, and Curly Howard (Shemp Howard was the original third Stooge.)

Eleven of the Stooges shorts were shown and bridged together with segments featuring Paul Winchell and his dummies, Jerry Mahoney and Knucklehead Smiff. Near the end of the film, the Marquis Chimps performed a fairy tale, as part of Jerry Mahoney's bedtime story.

The film, oddly enough, provoked controversy due to a lawsuit filed by the Three Stooges, who claimed producer Harry A. Romm who had produced their previous film Have Rocket, Will Travel created the film without their knowledge or permission. Columbia Pictures, which would eventually distribute the film, apologized and admitted that it had made an error by putting together a compilation of Three Stooges shorts behind their backs. Both parties agreed to have the film released on July 4, 1960, and to provide the funding for the Three Stooges' then-newly-formed production company, Normandy Productions.
