| The Kuklapolitans
participated
in many of the first private tests of color television (in September of
1952, and in March & April of 1953), and were chosen to star
in the first public color broadcast, on August 30, 1953. The
picture
above is from one of those tests, as are the LIFE magazine images
below.

broadcast, St.
George and the Dragon (from a black & white kinescope,
unfortunately!). |
