First a look at this day in History.
Then Life with Luigi starring J. Carrol Naish, originally broadcast July 4, 1950, 74 years ago, 4th of July Parade. Luigi is going to his first fourth of July parade.
Followed by the news from 74 years ago, then The Penny Singleton Show, originally broadcast July 4, 1950, 74 years ago, Safe and Sane Fourth. Penny wants the family to have a "safe and sane" 4th of July. That means no fireworks.
Then Anthology, originally broadcast July 4, 1954, 70 years ago, 4th of July Special. Poetry, information, and music of the Independence Day. Tyrone Power reads The Ballad of the Leatherneck Corps. Edna St Vincent Milley’s Poem and Prayer for an Invading Army, originally commissioned by NBC, is read once again by Ronald Coleman.
Followed by Columbia Presents Corwin, originally broadcast July 4, 1944, 80 years ago, Home for the Fourth starring Dane Clark. A story typical of America and the things it stands for.
Finally Superman, originally broadcast July 4 1941, 83 years ago, The White Plague. A chat with a doctor-priest, and then fire breaks out! Bud Collyer as Clark Kent and Superman, with Jackie Kelk as Jimmy Olsen.
