Great Bergen
History95 said it all -"Edgar Bergen was brilliant." And he had great comedic material. For this show, he gets a humorous performance from Ray Noble, who wrote the Patriotic Thanksgiving choral finale; short and humorous stints by Pat Patrick and Jim Backus; and a great boogie on the piano from Diana Lynne. Lynne was beautiful, a fine actress, and an accomplished classical pianist, who made some classical recordings with the Los Angeles Symphony Orchestra - her boogie comes as a pleasant surprise and bears witness to the breadth of her musical abilities. A fine half hour of comedy.
