THE OLYMPUS OF PUPPETRY

  1. Dear Craig,

    I've seen that photo of Mr.Baird's puppet versions of

    Mr.Ed Sullivan and Mr.,Jack Paar in a back issue of"Life

    Magazine".

    Wonderful recreations of these two icons of tv variety and

    talk show history.

    This is also the first time that I've ever seen photos from

    Mr.Baird's tv puppet version of"Art Carney Meets The Sorcerer's

    Apprentice".

    I'm just sorry that there are no surviving kinnie films or

    videotapes of the show.

    Hopefully?

    Someone has a print and that the show can be found,

    salvaged and made available to the show's fans..once again.

    Thanks For Sharing these rare piece of puppetry

    history,

    Mr.KTV.
