In this episode, Paul shares his memories of the Municipal Auditorium in the 1930s and of KTLA's role in television history in the 1940s.
We get a nice view of what it was like to be one of the few people with a television in the 1940s.
Paul talks about early KTLA programming.
He spends some time talking about Kathy Fiscus (Katherine, Ann Fiscus), a 3 year old child who fell into a well in San Marino in 1949. The story transfixed the nation. I was surprised that Paul remembered her name!
We talk about some of the famous people who played at the Municipal Auditorium.
Frank Sinatra, Steve Lawrence, Cecile de Mille, Eydie Gourme, Elvis Presley.
Paul's memories of the Long Beach Pike can be found here:
