Martin and Lewis in Northern Kentucky-1947

Here's an ad for Dean and Jerry appearing in Newport, KY several years prior to their first TV and film appearances. Below is, in fact, an ad where Jerry was appearing pre-Dean at another once prominent Northern KY location. Both of these fine establishments are said to have been mob-tied. The Lookout House burned down at one point, was rebuilt and then later burned down again.

Lost Girl For Christmas

Dawg Gone Vampire-December 10th, 1972

Back in December of 1972, less than a month from when I turned 14, my friend Terry and I attended THE POPEYE SHOW, a live action kiddie event at the madison Theater in Covington, KY. How could we not? It had Ultraman! Live! I wrote about it early on this blog and then, when i reunited with Terry a few years back, I found out he had taken pictures! I rewrote about it and showed some of his photos--enhanced--here. Now, I find this behind the scenes article...which does nothing to answer my now 43 year old question of how did they get the rights to put all of these cool characters in such amateur productions? Spider-Man? The Pink Panther? Ultraman??? (Answer: I'm betting they didn't.)

Ben Carson in the Red Lodge

Not retouched. I simply placed these two photos side by side without changing a thing. This explains why Ben Carson sometimes seems like a character out of TWIN PEAKS.
