Alfred Hitchcock Presents

Boy Oh Boy!

Make Mine Freedom

This Cold War-era cartoon from 1948 uses humor to tout the dangers of Communism and the benefits of capitalism.
 I am not old enough to have seen this film in a public school as part of.... "Social Studies."
But, I'm sure back in school the 1950s, this seemed a little bit.... out there.
 What do you think?

Little Lulu Moppet

 Who remembers Little Lulu Cartoons? Just a bit before my time, perhaps yours too? The one above is from 1946.

According to Wikipedia..... Little Lulu is the nickname for Lulu Moppet, a comic strip character created in 1935 by Marjorie Henderson Buell.
She debuted in The Saturday Evening Post on 23 February 1935 in a single panel, appearing as a flower girl at a wedding and strewing the aisle with banana peels.
 The Little Lulu panel continued to run weekly in The Saturday Evening Post......
 until 30 December 1944.

After all these years Little Lulu still has many fans and her products, are still in demand.
Some of the collectables that were saved, are still  commanding top dollar, even if only in fair shape.

                                             Pictured above is Frances R. Horwich


A grand lady she was...a wonderful teacher for........ "Ding Dong School."
Billed as "the nursery school of the air", it was a half-hour children's TV show which began  November 24,1952 and ended December 28,1956.

Before Mister Rogers Neighborhood, before there was a Sesame Street,  preschoolers had Miss Frances; to learn with.
She was the first to use the  talk to the audience method. She would even pause to let the child answer her.
More than once, she would be right on  the mark, with the conversation, second guessing a little ones answer.
Parents and Grandparents of the time adored her as did the children. The series is said to have garnered a 95 percent share of all preschoolers at the time.

Do you remember? Most reading this will say..NO.  Comment if your answer is yes or no.
