ARTICLES RELATED TO Gracie Allen | | | |  Gracie Allen: Encyclopedia II - Gracie Allen - The Real GracieWhat you saw on stage, however, was merely a character who wore the name Gracie Allen. In actuality, Allen was a cleverly talented comedienne whose timing was impeccable, who made every line she uttered, however carefully scripted, seem ad-libbed, and who went to great lengths in rehearsals to make her doings on the air or on the camera realistic---if the script called for Gracie to vacuum a rug, she vacuumed the rug for real.

CBS - Early years.
CBS can trace its origins to the creation, in 1927 of the "United Independent Broadcasters" network. Begun by New York talent agent Arthur Judson, it went on the air in October of that year with 47 affiliates.

Later in 19 ...

Astaire also created a number of routines where he danced in turn with a sequence of partners and these are grouped separately.
For many years, Fred Astaire was plagued by interviewers who wished to know who his favourite dance partner was. Ever the gentleman, Astaire would reply either "Bing Crosby" or "Gene Kelly". The closest he may have come to identifying a possible favourite was in Interview Magazine in June 1973 where he said: "Barrie Chase is the best partner - she's the latest partne ...

Vaudeville - Origin.
Though often confused with variety, its generically distinct predecessor (c. 1860s-1881), mature vaudeville distinguished itself from the earlier form by its mixed-gender audience, usually alcohol-free halls, and often slavish devotion to inculcating favor among members of the emerging middle class. Its popularity grew in step with the rise of industry and the growth of North American cities during this period, and declined with the introduction of sound films and radio. The origin of the ter ...

Eye color - Brown eyes.
The vast majority of the world's people have dark eyes, ranging from brown to nearly black. Light brown eyes are also present in many people, but to a lesser extent. Most of the original inhabitants of Africa, Asia, and the Americas have brown eyes. Brown eyes are also found in Europe, Oceania and North America, though within European populations they are not predominate to the same extent. In this population, brown eyes are genetically linked to brown or black hair.
