as "Crazy Guggenheim"
Surrounded in melody since early infancy, singing is a natural thing
with the Lennon Sisters. Besides their appearances on the Welk show,
the girls have made many recordings, and often accompany the Welkmen on cross-country tours. As one of the nation's outstanding personal appearance attractions by themselves, their own personal concert
appearances have never failed to break record after record wherever
they are booked, in their fans' ardent desire to see and hear "television's
beloved trio." Don't miss them at the Great Bloomsburg Fair-you

Comedy Star of the Jackie Gleason Show
Show business is the heritage of Frank Fontaine, the versatile comedian
who has tickled the nation's TV funnybone so successfully on Jackie
Gleason's "American Scene Magazine" TV show. About a year ago
a whole new aspect of entertainment opened up for Frank. In addition
to doing impressions from the throat he discovered and developed a
fine singing voice. Public response was so overwhelming following
the first try out on the Jackie Gleason show that he has become America's No. 1 singing attraction. A rare opportunity awaits you at the
Great Bloomsburg Fair. You get Frankie Fontaine plus the complete
Grandstand Show as pictured on Page 2.
