An Exclusive From The Eddie Brinkmann Archives…Part 2
This is a rare run sheet for ‘The Ed Sullivan Show’ for St. Patrick’s Day, March 17, 1957 which explains a the Irish theme. In green is the autograph of Dublin’s Lord Mayor Robert Briscoe. Yogi Bera was at the theater that night and after learning that Briscoe was the first Jewish mayor of Dublin was head to exclaim “Only In America”! Robert Mitchum was there that night to promote his new movie with Deborah Kerr, “Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison” and as you can see, actually sang a couple of times including a number with the Ames Brothers. Jo, Jac and Joni are an English musical comedy act. Along the way, we’ll see other run sheets, but this is the only clean one…all the others are filled with notes and last minute changes. Thanks again do Eddie’s granddaughter Dee Wexler for sharing these rare momentous with us.
It’s definitely Edie Adams. IMDB.com list her on the March 17, 1957 show.
I’d love to see this episode. I know that many of the shows survive and are owned by Sofa Entertainment.
would love to the Robert Mitchum videos…
