<DIV>Hi, Don,</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for the update.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Do the low band and high band segments contain the same content?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#ff0000>It is possible that the LB scene may also be on the
HB segment. Since there is a splice between the LB and HB segments,
they could both be the same take. I have not compared them to be
sure. However, there are multiple scenes on the HB
portion of the tape and only a single scene on the LB. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Maybe you have the only videotape copy surviving? (See <B>bold text</B>
below.)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#ff0000>That is very interesting! The quality is
certainly far above what the Kine would be. However, what is on the tape
is not the finished program. It appears to be the original recording of
the program segments. There are multiple takes of several parts, and the
HB section begins with a long period of black with the studio mics open so
that you hear the audience coming in and some of the conversations among them
prior to the performance.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Is there a Copyright date and owner on paper or in the credits?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#ff0000>No.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Here's what I can find about the program:</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>A google for "Meet Marcel Marceau" reveals this on <A
href="http://www.amazon.com/Meet-Marcel-Marceau-MARCEL-MARCEAU/dp/B00009APCL">Amazon.com</A>:</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Product Description<BR>1965-USA A one-man show in 9 parts by the most
famous contemporary pantomimist. MARCEL MARCEAU himself does voice-over
introductions of his various skits. A Paris street-tough finds a wallet; at
the circus; the magician; the kite; the matador; at a society party; "The
Passage Of Time;" Don Juan and a special tribute to Harpo Marx, Buster Keaton,
Stan Laurel and Charlie Chaplin. "Bip," the famous Marceau character, goes
through his paces - a modern tradition. <B>TV kinescope performed before a
live audience.</B>..video quality lacks definition in places, but its well
worth the opportunity to "Meet Marcel Marceau." 52 minutes.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Further poking around turned up "an RKO General production in association
with Ronald A. Wilford Associates ; produced and written by Wally Sherwin ;
director, Bob Searles" on this site: <A

<DIV>Wilford is engaged in artist management. He currently heads <A

Managment, Inc</A>., in NYC, and turns up in connection with Marceau's shows.
