ALL THE HISTORY BUFFS OUT THERE TO PAY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION.

IT'S A NEW WEEK AND WE HAVE A NEW INDEX FILE QUESTION FOR YOU TO PONDER.

THE PRODUCERS LOVE MAKING ME USE THE SPECIAL "MYSTERY PERSON" VOICE SO HERE GOES.

"“I AM A FAMOUS HOLLYWOOD STAR.

I STARTED MY CAREER IN VAUDEVILLE AND EASILY MADE THE JUMP TO MOTION PICTURES.

OFTEN APPEARING ON THE COVER AND INSIDE PAGES OF POPULAR MAGAZINES.

IN 1934 I WAS FEATURED PROMINENTLY IN A SILVER SCREEN MAGAZINE AD FOR A PROMINENT "MINNESOTAN," CREDITING HER PRODUCTS WITH HELPING ME KEEP MY VITALITY UP.

WHO AM I?

EXTRA CREDIT IF YOU CAN NAME THE MINNESOTA PRODUCT I ENDORSED.

"” WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU WHETHER YOU ARE CALLING FROM BROWNIE LAKE, COOK COUNTY OR BAKER MINNESOTA.

651-229-1430 IS THE NUMBER TO CALL WITH ALL YOUR ANSWERS.

IF YOU PREFER OUR INTERNET OPTION, DROP US A LINE AT [email protected].

WE LOVE HEARING FROM YOU EITHER WAY.

THOUGH WE CONFESS, YOU'RE MORE LIKELY TO END UP ON THE AIR IF YOU LEAVE A VOICE MAIL.

651-229-1430 IS THAT NUMBER ONCE AGAIN.

WE HAVE AN EXCITING PROGRAMMING NOTE FOR YOU.

TWO WEEKS FROM TODAY WE CONTINUE OUR STATE FAIR SHOW TRADITION.

FOR MORE THAN A DECADE, TWIN CITIES PBS AND MPR NEWS HAVE WORKED TOGETHER TO CREATE AN EDITION OF "ALMANAC AT THE STATE FAIR."

CIRCLE THE DATE ON YOUR CALENDAR, FRIDAY, AUGUST 25TH.

11 A.M.

IN THE MORNING "ALMANAC" WILL BE AT THE MPR BOOTH AT THE CORNER OF JUDSON AND NELSON, NEAR THE DAIRY BUILDING.

WE'LL BE LIVE ON THE RADIO AND RECORDING THE SHOW FOR TV THAT EVENING ACROSS THE STATE.

THAT'S TWO WEEKS FROM NOW YOU CAN WATCH "ALMANAC" IN ACTION LIVE AT THE FAIR, FRIDAY MORNING AT 11:00 ON AUGUST 25, AT THE MPR STATE FAIR BOOTH NEAR THE CORNER OF JUDSON AND NELSON.

WE'VE GOT A GREAT SHOW PLANNED FOR YOU.

GOVERNOR TIM WALZ WILL BE THERE.

WE'LL HAVE SOME LIVE MUSIC.

AND IT WOULDN'T BE A STATE FAIR SHOW WITHOUT A KEVIN KLING STORY AND SOME BABY ANIMALS.

WE HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE.

JUST ENOUGH TIME LEFT FOR SOME SHOW-ENDING MUSIC.

THIS WEEK BACK IN 1997 THE IRISH ROVERS WERE RIGHT HERE IN STUDIO B.

TAKE A LISTEN.

WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT WEEK.

BE CAREFUL.
