| Harrisburg Sunday PATRIOT-News TV Radio Screen Magazine, March 20, 1955 |
Cover: Eleanor Parker in INTERRUPTED MELODY, an MGM CinemaScope biography of Australian opera star Marjorie Lawrence. Eleanor is seen here as Carmen in one of several lavish operatic sequences included in the film. Inside were several photos of the star made up for various other operatic roles, including Wagner's Isolde and Saint-Saens' Delilah!

This was a tabloid-sized insert which was included with the weekly Sunday PATRIOT-NEWS, Harrisburg's major (and probably only) Sunday newspaper. (The Philadelphia Inquirer was also available in Harrisburg on Sundays).
In 1955 radio listings were still included but the first half of this publication was devoted mainly to the weekly TV schedule which was divided into evening Highlights and daily hourly listings.
Disneyland is listed at 7.30 Wednesday evening.

The final sections were devoted to movie, theater, and entertainment listings, ads, and news, and concluded with misc domestic and "Do-It-Yourself" items.

I once found several 1955 copies of this publication in a Pennsylvania flea market many years ago and they came to southern California with me.
Due to the fragile (cheap) nature of the paper on which newspapers were printed complete items such as this one are no doubt rather rare and I treasure this small collection, virtual time capsules of another era.
