Skipper Dawes
WFIL-TV Official Photo
1950

The caption that was attached to this photo states:

Regular "extras" for group scenes on the show get a final briefing from "Skipper" Dawes, director, as the cameraman looks on."

We believe that this picture was from the Paul Whiteman TV Teen Club broadcast which originated live every Saturday night through the facilities of WFIL-TV and broadcast live over the ABC-TV television network. The show became so popular that it was also carried over the ABC Radio Network.
