[78-L] Kukla, Fran and Ollie

[David Lennick]

I hope the Gilbert and Sullivan tapes exist, but Bravo Canada scheduled one of 
them from the late 50s and then ran a much later one instead (The Mikado from 
Stratford 1982, which I walked out on during performance). The other programs 
are much later and should exist.
