A Date with Judy Comic Book |
A Date with Judy is a comedy radio series aimed at a teenage audience which had a long run from 1941 to 1950.
The show began as a summer replacement for Bob Hope's show, sponsored by Pepsodent and airing on NBC from June 24 to September 16, 1941, with 14-year-old Ann Gillis in the title role. Dellie Ellis portrayed Judy Foster when the series returned the next summer (June 23 – September 15, 1942).
The series was so popular CBS developed a rival program Meet Corliss Archer starring Janet Waldo, which also enjoyed a long run and proved to be equally successful.
A television version of the show ran on ABC on Saturdays during daytime hours beginning on June 2, 1951. It originally starred Pat Crowley as Judy. The series moved to prime time during the summer of 1952 and was brought back again midway through the 1952-53 season. The series ended its run on September 30, 1953. This version featured Mary Linn Beller as Judy, John Gibson and Flora Campbell as her parents, Peter Avramo as her brother, and Jimmy Sommers as her sort-of boyfriend Oogie.

The Cisco Kid is a fictional character found in numerous film, radio, television and comic book series based on the fictional Western character created by O. Henry in his 1907 short story "The Caballero's Way", published in the collection Heart of the West. In movies and television, the Kid was depicted as a heroic Mexican caballero, even though he was originally a cruel outlaw.

Numerous movies featured the character, beginning in the silent film
era with The Caballero's Way (1914). There is a discrepancy as to
who actually played the part of the Cisco Kid.[citation needed] In
the cemetery records[clarification needed] of Stanley Herbert Dunn
it states that he played the part, but at IMDb.com it states that
William Robert Dunn played the part.[citation needed]
For his portrayal of the Kid in the early sound film In Old Arizona (1928), Warner Baxter won the second Best Actor Oscar. This film was a revised version of

the original story, in which the Kid is
portrayed in a positive light. It was directed by Irving Cummings
and Raoul Walsh, who was originally slated to play the lead until a
jackrabbit jumping through a windshield cost him an eye while on
location.[1] In 1931, Fox Film Corporation produced a sound version
with Baxter, Conchita Montenegro, and Edmund Lowe.
The movie series began with The Return of the Cisco Kid (1939),
featuring Baxter in the title role with Cesar Romero as Lopez the brute, Chris-Pin Martin as the other sidekick, Gordito
("Fatty"), Lynn Bari as his mistaken love interest, Ann Carver,
Henry Hull as her wayward grandfather, and Ward Bond in the
lowest-billed role as "Tough", whose one scene shows him beaten into
unconsciousness by the unscrupulous Sheriff McNally (Robert Barrat).
Romero took over the lead role of Cisco and Martin continued to play Gordito in six further films before the series was suspended with America's entry into World War II in 1941. Duncan Renaldo took over the reins as the Kid when Monogram Pictures revived the series in 1945 with The Cisco Kid Returns, which also introduced the Kid's best-known sidekick, Pancho, played by Martin Garralaga. Pancho also became established as his sidekick in other media. Neither Gordito nor Pancho is in the original story. After three Renaldo/Cisco films, Gilbert Roland played the character in a half-dozen 1946-1947 movies beginning with The Gay Cavalier (1946). Renaldo then returned to the role with Leo Carrillo as Pancho. They made five films, with Renaldo assuming the flowery "Cisco" outfit in the final film. He would wear that throughout the TV series that followed.
