QUICKY QUIZ #23 WHAT AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTITUTION CONTROLLED PROHIBITION?

Description: This short film is one of a series entitled "Quicky Quiz!", which were developed and produced by Los Angeles TV personality Jim Hawthorne. Billed as the "TV's biggest, little show", each Quicky Quiz! posed a question for viewers to answer. In this case, the question is "What amendments to the Constitution controlled prohibition?" If you got the right answer, you must be very smart so take a bow! Footage shows the sheriff and his "dry raiders" aka government revenue men in Asheville, North Carolina destroying an illegal still operation in 1930. The automobiles of the bootleggers are lit afire by the lawmen and barrels, bottles and other equipment are smashed and the liquor poured down the gutter. Short format shows of this type don't really exist today, but back in the early era of television -- especially during the live era when show lengths were irregular -- programs such as Quicky Quiz! were important to fill dead air. Jim Hawthorne (1918 –2007) was a beloved radio personality, disc jockey and TV comic actor who produced (in addition to Quicky Quiz!) the short format show "Jim Hawthorne's Funny World". He worked for a variety of TV stations including KLAC / Los Angeles Channel 13, where he created the first late evening talk show on television, "This Is Hawthorne."
