Her friend, Maggie, also had an in-house act, altho’ I don’t remember what it was; Danny was the long-time bartender who passed away when I was in the 10th grade (early 50s?). If anyone has more pictures would love to see them!<br />NRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03798925325366054337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13401748.post-77415323423242687372019-12-18T22:29:55.023-05:002019-12-18T22:29:55.023-05:00I have a framed autographed photo of the Radio Fra...I have a framed autographed photo of the Radio Franks sitting at a piano.

Co. at 110 John St. My father was the manager of the NY office for Standard and they were being entertained at Radio Frank's by their broker from Olsen & Johnson. The photo is in a brochure-type folding jacket, showing Radio Frank's banner and a picture of Frank Bessinger on the cover and the tag line - Never a Dull Moment!mjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06574645103341935879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13401748.post-39084927892933132072010-06-27T16:19:39.716-04:002010-06-27T16:19:39.716-04:00There was a talkie with the Radio franks in 1926. ...There was a talkie with the Radio franks in 1926. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0491114/ Supposedly it was filmed at the bar.

Do you have any photos or posters from the club? I'd love to see if we could find out more information about her time there.

This was my Great Uncle. <br />According to some notes I have Bing Crosby also played at Radio Franks.<br />He and his wife also spent time in Colorado where he "played" Santa with a natural beard in the 1960s. He was a showman to the end.<br />Family legend states he did the first "singing" radio ad. <br />L2D2Lee@yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
