(ABC Primetime, 1950 - 1951)
[On this early series, entire scenes from contemporary Broadway
musicals and plays were presented with the Broadway cast; since
television was an experimental medium, it was probably considered

before royalties and union agreements would put a stop to it...
The host/master of ceremonies was producer Vinton Freedley,
who was president of The National Theatre Academy]
