Download Jack Benny and the Golden Age of American Radio Comedy Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
"Jack Benny became one of the most influential entertainers of the 20th century--by being the top radio comedian, when the comics ruled radio, and radio was the most powerful and pervasive mass medium in the US. In 23 years of weekly radio broadcasts, by aiming all the insults at himself, Benny created Jack, the self-deprecating "Fall Guy" character. He indelibly shaped American humor as a space to enjoy the equal opportunities of easy camaraderie with his cast mates, and equal ego deflation. Benny was the master of comic timing, knowing just when to use silence to create suspense or to have a character leap into the dialogue to puncture Jack's pretentions. Jack Benny was also a canny entrepreneur, becoming one of the pioneering "showrunners" combining producer, writer and performer into one job. His modern style of radio humor eschewed stale jokes in favor informal repartee with comic hecklers like his valet Rochester (played by Eddie Anderson) and Mary Livingstone his offstage wife. These quirky characters bouncing off each other in humorous situations created the situation comedy. In this career study, we learn how Jack Benny found ingenious ways to sell his sponsors' products in comic commercials beloved by listeners, and how he dealt with the challenges of race relations, rigid gender ideals and an insurgent new media industry (TV). Jack Benny created classic comedy for a rapidly changing American culture, providing laughter that buoyed radio listeners from 1932's depths of the Great Depression, through World War II to the mid-1950s"--Provided by publisher.

Download Benjamin Allen's History of the Reformation: A Translation into Modern English Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The 16th century Reformation was a most important and interesting event in human history. It was a revolution on the grandest scale with religious, political, and economic effects still with us today. This is a modernized version of Benjamin Allen’s classic 1820 book on the subject – essentially translating the work into current English to improve its readability and understandability. Benjamin Allen (1789-1829) was an American church minister, scholar, and publisher. He died at sea aged 39. History of the Reformation was his best-known publication. The book abridged Gilbert Burnet’s massive account of the English Reformation published over a century earlier. It also provided significant new commentary and details of the lives of Luther, Calvin, and Zuingle and their roles in the continental Reformation movements.

Download Red Skelton Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
For more than twenty years, Hoosier comic Red Skelton entertained millions of viewers who gathered around their television sets to delight in the antics of such notable characters as Freddie the Freeloader, Clem Kaddiddlehopper, Cauliflower McPugg, and Sheriff Deadeye. Noted film historian Wes D. Gehring examines the man behind the characters—someone who never let the facts get in the way of a good story. Gehring delves into Skelton's hardscrabble life with a shockingly dysfunctional family in the southern Indiana community of Vincennes, his days on the road on the vaudeville circuit, the comedian's early success on radio, his up-and-down movie career with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and his sometimes tragic personal life.
