Spike Jones featuring Mickey Katz (1947)



Uploaded by: voxpopulai
Video Description:
This clip gives us a rare and wonderful look at Spike Jones hilarity, with the added delight of seeing Mickey Katz (the short, bald guy playing clarinet) goofing around with the band and even doing his trademark "glugg-glugg". Mickey went on from there to write his Yiddish parodies and the rest is history,

Hmmm!
Looks and sounds like a very young Kathryn Grayson to me. :)
But regardless who - she went along with the sketch brilliantly.
It brought back memories of the 5penny seats at the Regal cinema...

I just googled Mary Hatcher and it was Mary in the clip - in her first big role in the film 'Variety Girl'.

I thought that was Deforest Kelly in the beginning, and once I read the comments here it confirmed that. Useless trivia: he was friends with George Reeves (Superman). Back to topic, Spike was fantastic as were the members of his troupe.

The man on Mary's right at 1:36 (who also delivers the seal's bark) is Winstead "Doodles" Weaver, who became famous in Spike's band for his interprtations of the "William Tell Overture" and "Dance Of the Hours", and appearing on his Coca-Cola radio show as "Professor Feetlebaum". At 1:53 is A. Purves Pullen, who was a professional bird impressionist and was known in Spike's outfit as "Dr. Horatio Q. Birdbath".

Someone once on a ... ( 5 days ago by zinkamilanov)
Someone once on a radio show about Spike Jones remembered that in his stage show for a while he would have a girl come out and sit on one side of the stage and knit all through the craziness. People would wonder what she was doing there and what she was ever going to do, and all she did was knit. I think I saw her once in a Spike video knitting, but haven't seen her on Tube yet.
