Finally! Here's the (mostly complete) opening for The All-Electric Magik Lantern Moving Picture Show on WBBM Channel 2. This showcase ran on early Monday mornings starting in September 1971 and lasted until September 27th 1982, replaced (as were the Tuesday through Friday morning airings of The Late Show) by CBS News Nightwatch (predecessor to today's Up to the Minute). Any word on what was the synth-heavy theme for this memorable movie umbrella would be appreciated.

Towards the end of this clip, a voiceover (by Bob Carrington) describing the plot of the upcoming movie to be shown - "The Rose Tattoo" (1955) starring Anna Magnani and Burt Lancaster - when the tape cuts out.

This aired on local Chicago TV early Monday, October 29th 1979 at 2:20am.

About The Museum of Classic Chicago Television:

The Museum of Classic Chicago Television's primary mission is the preservation and display of off-air, early home videotape recordings (70s and early 80s, primarily) recorded off of any and all Chicago TV channels; footage which would likely be lost if not sought out and preserved digitally. Even though (mostly) short clips are displayed here, we preserve the entire broadcasts in our archives - the complete programs with breaks (or however much is present on the tape), for historical purposes. For information on how to help in our mission, to donate or lend tapes to be converted to DVD, and to view more of the 3,900+ (and counting) video clips available for viewing in our online archive, please visit us at:
