00:54 - "We present to you now by remote control..." says presenter Reginald Denny. No small irony, that. By the end of the decade (1930s) Denny had developed an interest in remote controlled model aircraft that expanded to a business he dubbed Radioplane which produced the first target drone aircraft used by the United States Army Air Corps (later U. S. Army Air Forces, then U. S. Air Force) as well as the Navy. It was at Denny's Radioplane factory, located at Los Angeles' Metropolitan Airport (now Van Nuys Airport), that a photographer sent by Captain Ronald Reagan of the USAAF First Motion Picture Unit in 1944 'discovered' a young production worker named Norma Jeane Dougherty. The comely lass would later be known to the world as Marilyn Monroe.
In Thanksgiving, Joseph, for finding and posting this of my dear Grandpa. Thanks to you and dear Marc Wanamaker for sharing ❤. Happy Thanksgiving all!

WTF was that Paul Whiteman segment?
It was an initiation into the Los Angeles Breakfast Club, an institution that exists to this day.
