Trivia

Red plays an auto harp to introduce musical guests Iron Butterfly. Iron Butterfly then sings 'In a Gadda-Da-Vida' and 'Soul Experience.' The Tom Hansen Dancers and Jimmy Joyce Singers perform 'Up - Up - and Away.' In the Silent Spot, titled 'The Silent Movie Kop', Red mimes a silent screen policeman chasing bank robbers.
