Headline Tag: Television Rating: Good Hits: 1426 Comments: 1 Abbott Costello Errol Flynn: Niagara Falls Abbott Costello Errol Flynn: Niagara Falls For a period of time in the early fifties, Bud Abbott & Lou Costello made frequent guest shots on one of the premiere comedy shows of it's day "The Colgate Comedy Hour". On this particular episode of the show, movie star Errol Flynn makes an appearance performing the vaudeville sketch "Niagara Falls". Playing the psychotic who is triggered into a rage by the mear mention of the waterfall, he goes berserk and starts pummeling Lou with each utterance. Obviously with his career on the skids from the ravages of drugs and booze, Flynn is terribly miscast in this burlesque classic. Sid Fields performing the same role on the boy's half hour syndicated show vastly outshines the once great Hollywood star. The scene also underscores the quote of actor Peter O'Toole from the movie "My Favorite Year" who incidently plays the Flynn-inspired character Alan Swann. He says, "Dying is easy... comedy is hard!"

Jeanne Mahoney as "Emily" was a professional dancer and later choreographer as was her partner "Chuck". And the Burnses certainly knew how to "cut a rug"- Gracie started out in vaudeville as a dancer before she met George. User: spam_vigilante Jan 21, 2008 5:37 AM
Headline Tag: Celebrities Rating: Good Hits: 3173 Comments: 4 Frank Frank "Cannonball" Richards Frank "Cannonball" Richards was a carnival and vaudeville performer whose act involved taking heavy blows to his belly. Richards began by letting people (including heavyweight champion Jack Dempsey) punch him in the gut. He then progressed to letting people jump on his belly, being struck by a two-by-four, being struck by a sledgehammer, and finally being shot by a cannonball from a spring-loaded cannon. Richards limited his cannonball act to twice per day, as performing it more often was too painful. User: OregonMike Jul 15, 2007 11:09 AM

Headline Tag: Cinema Rating: Good Hits: 1512 Comments: 2 Georges Méliès: Viaje a la Luna (A Trip to the Moon) 1902 Georges Méliès: Viaje a la Luna (A Trip to the Moon) 1902 Viaje a la Luna (A Trip to the Moon) was the screen's first science fiction film. It draws from the Jules Verne story and the works of H. G. Wells. The film was 14 minutes long, but this was considered to be a full length feature as movies at this time were shown between live vaudeville acts. It has great special effects for the time and some of the ladies of the Follies Bergere as "lab assistants". User: spam_vigilante Mar 1, 2003 5:39 PM
