...sorry, but the silent movie lover in me begs to differ. ;D Chaney was a star as early as 1919, when he made The Miracle Man at Paramount and followed that up with The Penalty and The Ace of Spades at Goldwyn the following year...

Re Lon Chaney: TV Guide said that he became "a major star" with
the 1923 "Hunchback Of Notre Dame," and not being that much of
a silent-movie buff I couldn't argue. But obviously he wasn't an
unknown at the time.

I think you've got your math wrong re Petula Clark. To have been
17 when she made "Dance Hall," and to have turned 78 in November 2010,
this means she turned 17 in November 1949, the movie was made
sometime in early or mid-1950, and she turned 18 in November 1950.
In other words, she would have been born in 1932, not 1938. Several
Web sites give her birthday as November 15, 1932. Still hard to
believe she's that old; tempus fugit, I guess. BTW,
another actress who appeared in "Dance Hall" was Diana Dors, the
former Mrs. Richard Dawson, considered by some to be a poor man's
Marilyn Monroe, and the subject of Paul Anka's hit "Diana".

And the Grand Funk Railroad concert on ABC was taped at Madison
Square Garden.

...my bad, apologies to all. It is 1932. BTW, Petula Clark's first big recording contract wasn't the one under which she cut all those English-language hits like "Downtown" and "I Know a Place," it was with the French record label Disques Vogue, who had her sing French-language material. As a result, she was quite popular in France and Quebec before anyone in the U.S. ever noticed her. She then added a separate contract with the British label Pye (which had business links with Disques Vogue) for the English-language material, and that's the source of the material that was issued over here on Warner Brothers. I mention all of this because I once met a guy who worked for both CKGM and CFOX in Montreal, and he claimed that the one big hole for hits in the record libraries of both stations in the late '60s and early '70s was Petula Clark's Stateside hits. When he asked around why this was, he was told that Disques Vogue's Quebecois affiliate was able to prevent Warner Brothers from distributing "Downtown" and the like in the province by virtue of a clause in the earlier contract...
 
And according to Internet Movie Database, even before
she got that recording contract in France, she was singing
in music halls and on BBC radio from age 11. Apparently she
was a big hit with British troops listening to her during World
War II, since many of her radio appearances were on shows
aimed at them. Her acting career seems to have faded sometime
in the '50s, but she has probably sold more records than any other
female British singer.
 
...Dusty Springfield's estate may argue with that last comment, but that's another subject ;D ...
 
One thing's for certain: Petula charted more gold records
than Dusty, but when I posted the comment about Petula's
record sales the thought did occur to me that Dusty sold a
ton of records herself, both as a solo and as part of the
Springfields ("Silver Threads and Golden Needles").

BTW, as a child Petula got a chance to work with a couple
of child actors who would become well-known on this side
of the big pond: Julie Andrews and Anthony Newley. And I
can't end this post without a personal recollection (OK, second-hand)
about Newley. As most of you are probably aware he wrote Sammy Davis
Jr.'s big hit "The Candy Man." Once when we were living in Dallas Newley
performed there live, my parents went to see him, and as part of his act
he sang that song and distributed pieces of candy to the audience; according
to my mom, he was skipping up and down the aisles, tossing candy from a
basket into the audience. She found that to be somewhat sissified. I take
no sides; I just know he was a tremendous talent who was a lot more than
Joan Collins' ex-husband.

WATE Ch. 6 Knoxville (NBC)
12:30 What's My Line? (panel: Jack Cassidy, Nancy Dussault, Sue Oakland, Gene Rayburn)

Evidently, WATE was way behind in the chain of airing the syndicated WML? - since this lineup was taped on Aug. 21, 1969, and at that time Wally Bruner was host. By the time Jan. 19, 1973 rolled around, the host was Larry Blyden. In addition, also by 1973, Sue Oakland had long left the panel show grind and moved on to doing editorials for WCBS-TV in New York under her first married name of Sue Cott (she was married to veteran broadcasting executive Ted Cott from 1956 until his death a few months after this date). She was of no relation whatsoever to the late actor Simon Oakland. It should be also noted that at WCBS in the 1970's and into the early '80's she alternated handling station editorials with another WCBS executive, Peter Kohler.

Maybe WATE has gotten some older episodes mixed with newer ones -- I have a Michigan State TVG from 1972 which featured an ad for WILX in Lansing, advertising "It's Your Bet", with the current host, Lyle Waggoner. However, all the episodes WILX was showing that week was from its first season in 1969, when Hal March was host (he died in January 1970).
