The Colgate Comedy Hour
An episode of the popular NBC series "The Colgate Comedy Hour", featuring the famous Eddie Cantor. The episode promises "new talent", some of which you've heard of (such as Eddie Fisher and William Warfield), and some of which you haven't (such as Tony and Eddy). The picture quality is very poor. According to an article in Variety magazine from 14 November 1951, the series cost $40,000 per an episode to produce (for comparison, "Cavalcade of Stars" cost $15,000 per an episode). That's in 1951 money, obviously.
