Uncle Ezra & The Hoosier Hot Shots - Musical Alka-Seltzer Spots, 1937 | 16mm Film Scan

Description: Film of three Alka-Seltzer advertisement spots from Radio Station EZRA, featuring Uncle Ezra and The Hoosier Hot Shots. My best estimate on a date is ~1937, based on the 30/60 cent pricing, and there was also a Alka Seltzer/Uncle Ezra Musical booklet released that year. Being color (I believe 2-color Cinecolor), these ads would have been produced for movie theaters rather than television. Uncle Ezra (Pat Barrett) was an entertainer and radio station host of station E-Z-R-A, hosting the National Barn Dance playing what would become known as country music. Snippet from newspaper ad: "You'll enjoy the philosophy and quaint humor of this old man with young ideas. One of the best loved characters in radio, in a program that's DIFFERENT. Never a dull minute. The Hoosier Hot Shots supply the music. 'Nuff said." *Contact for Usage* 0:00 - Spot 1 0:52 - Spot 2 2:08 - Spot 3 #UncleEzra #HoosierHotShots #AlkaSeltzer #1937 #16mmFilm #vintagecommercials #RetroAdvertising #ComedyBand #1930s #RareFootage #OldTimeRadio #vintageads #retroads
