‘All Star Review’, 1952…One Of The First Camera Mounted Teleprompters

‘All Star Review’, 1952

In the last year of so of this NBC show, Martha Raye was the host of this popular show as it morphed from a rotating host format to a single host. Soon after, it became ‘The Martha Raye Show’. In this shot, Martha is rehearsing a spot for Kellogs with Arthur Treachur who played many a butler role and a few years later, went on to become Merv Griffin’s side kick and straight man. Notice the huge teleprompter being held onto the TK10 with a strap. Thanks to David Zornig and Jim Young for the photo.
