(ABC Primetime, 1959 - 1960)
[Glen Osser's orchestra was featured in this series which changed
its name to "Music For A Spring Night" during its last few months;
Although this was an attempt by ABC to continue "prestige"
programming following the end of "The Voice Of Firestone", there
were scheduling pre-emptions due to news special reports, and
critics thought the show didn't have the level of quality of
"Firestone" to which it was unfavorably compared;
Despite its low budget, Osser was one of the best arrangers of
music during the classic radio/early television era; the program
had a novel feature: artist/inventor John Hoppe used a device
he called a "Mobilux" to create electronic graphics to introduce
musical numbers -- years before digital computer graphic programs
were developed]
