Here's a piece of trivia: Parker Fennelly, who I pointed out played Titus Moody (on Fred Allen's radio show), was the host of NBC's "Go!" kids' show that Saturday. Probably most of you are too young to remember Allen's Alley (or, if you're lucky, you've heard tapes of some of Allen's shows), but how many of you remember that in the 1960s Fennelly played the character as spokesperson for Pepperidge Farm? Also, he replaced the late Percy Kilbride (another laconic New Englander whose performance with Jack Benny in "George Washington Slept Here" gets my vote as one of the funniest I've ever seen, and even Benny is a funny straight man) in the last "Ma And Pa Kettle" movie with Marjorie Main in 1956 (the name of it escapes me).
