celebrating Roundabout Theatre Company’s Broadway revival of Pal Joey, starring Stockard Channing, Martha Plimpton and Matthew Risch
The 1952 Joey Evans, dancer extraordinaire Harold Lang, appeared on a popular Sunday night variety show and with the Pal Joey company, performed “Happy Hunting Horn.” The number includes some startling dance moves by Lang. This rare kinescope speaks for itself.

This is interesting but what is a kinescope?

Videotape wasn’t available until 1956. Before that, the only way to make a permanent record of a live TV broadcast was a kinescope.
A kinescope was basically a device that allowed the show to be filmed using a special movie camera.
In the case of live shows originating from the East Coast, as this one did, the network would transmit the signal during broadcast to L.A., where it was kinescoped. The film was quickly processed and the show was aired from L.A. in its regular West Coast time slot three hours later using the film of the live broadcast.

Wow, Bill, I’m impressed! Thank goodness for kinescopes, or I guess we’d have missed out on this fabulous performance. Now I’m wishing I could see Matthew Risch perform this one more time.

Catch the early “Twist” moves he makes near the beginning. Predated Chubby Checker by 8 years.
