Silent footage from the first telecast broadcast in San Francisco on May 25, 1948 from station W6XJD at the St. Francis Hotel. Balding man in suit with a thin mustache plays with marionettes. First a horse in overalls that juggles and balances balls on his nose and feet. Next a feather-less chicken with crazy eyes that dances.
