00:00The Eagle has landed.
00:08Aye, Franklin, Delano, residence.
00:10Hello, Keston, pass.
00:18Retro News. It's a blast from the past.
00:22I'm Mark.
00:23And I'm Kendall.
00:24And this is Retro News,
00:25the show that digs through the archives of news history
00:28to bring you the important and not-so-important stories.
00:33Today, our show focuses on fantastic firsts.
00:36We'll show you amazing feats as they happen for the first time.
00:39You'll see shark fishing from a blimp,
00:42a one-man tennis match,
00:44hats you can really eat,
00:45and meet a dog who raises baby lions.
00:49But first, let's visit a place where lightning always strikes twice.
00:53When Ben Franklin wanted to study lightning,
00:56he had to wait for a storm.
00:57Dr. Peter Belashi just made his own.
01:02This is not Dr. Frankenstein's lab.
01:04It's Westinghouse's high-voltage lab in Cheren, Pennsylvania.
01:08This is the first surge generator.
01:10It makes lightning.
01:11Watch.
01:12A three-million-volt discharge just set that hay on fire.
01:16That's lightning expert Peter Belashi.
01:18Nothing up his sleeve.
01:20Dr. Belashi created the first lightning maker.
01:23It sent the first bolt of man-made lightning through a bucket of sand.
01:26It sure shredded this shirt.
01:30Real lightning hits the Earth 8.6 million times a day.
01:34Dr. Belashi expected his experiments to spark an idea
01:37that would make people safer in thunderstorms.
01:41For more innovations, let's go to Brennan and Rachel.
01:44Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in 1876.
01:49In August of that year, Bell made the first long-distance call.
01:54We called up that story from the archives.
01:58Now Ben Grauer connects you to the 70th anniversary of this milestone.
02:04Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone,
02:07is again remembered as the 70th anniversary of the first long-distance call
02:11as observed at Paris, Ontario, where this primitive instrument was used.
02:15A far cry to the modern system with its thousands of operators
02:21and a myriad of trunk lines.
02:28A large crowd is present at the anniversary
02:31to hear Mayor McCammon of Paris open the ceremonies.
02:34George Dunlop and Reverend Haig took part in that first experiment
02:38which covered eight miles from Brantford to Paris.
02:40As a climax to the ceremony, a plaque is unveiled
02:47commemorating the inventor and the history-making event.
02:50A milestone in communications.
02:54On January 10, 1946, a team of scientists in New Jersey
02:59reached out and touched the moon for the first time.
03:02They sent a radar signal to the distant sphere
03:05and waited for it to bounce back.
03:08Ed Hurley was there.
03:09The vivid imaginations of H.G. Wells and Buck Rogers
03:13never cooked up a more fantastic experience
03:15than the Army engineers at their laboratory in Belmore, New Jersey.
03:20Banks of instrument panels control a radar installation
03:23that gives man his first actual contact with the moon.
03:27An amazing round trip of over 477,000 miles.
03:35Ready to shoot the moon.
03:37The radar antenna is pointed directly at Luna
03:40and the thrill of a lifetime is in the making.
03:54Three two-and-a-half-second trips up and back.
03:57If you're ready for another trip to the moon, let's go.
03:59This experiment took us one step closer to space travel.
04:06It showed that sounds from Earth could reach space.
04:10Scientists now knew if they got an astronaut into space,
04:14they would be able to communicate with him.
04:15The first helicopter took off in 1907 from Lisieux, France.
04:21It was a pretty short flight.
04:22Seven seconds.
04:23Then, on May 13, 1940, Igor Sikorsky flew his VS-300 helicopter.
04:32Inspired by the drawings of Leonardo da Vinci,
04:36Sikorsky began to dream of building helicopters as a child.
04:40Many years of trial and error came before this successful flight.
04:45Sikorsky set the standard with this helicopter design,
04:50which is still in use today.
05:02In 2002, news came out that a professor from Scotland
05:06was working on the world's first rainmaker.
05:10Well, we beg to differ.
05:11Look at what we found in the archives.
05:15It was a dry August day in Canada in 1949,
05:19but it wouldn't stay that way for long.
05:21Donald Johnson was about to show off his new rainmaking machine.
05:25There was no need for a rain dance,
05:27because this little contraption would do it alone.
05:34Meteorologists didn't believe Johnson's machine could pull it off.
05:37But look, rain.
05:41And only one man was smart enough to bring along an umbrella.
05:45Mr. Johnson, of course.
05:50In 1926, Gertrude Adderley became the first woman
05:54to swim across the English Channel.
05:55In 1959, Ed Herlihy filed this report
05:59on the 33rd anniversary of her famous swim.
06:03On the steps of New York City Hall,
06:05a moment from the past is relived.
06:07Gertrude Adderley is there again,
06:09smiling for photographers,
06:10much as she did 33 years ago,
06:12when the big city paid her tribute for the big swim.
06:15It was August 27th, 1926,
06:19when the 19-year-old Trudy returned from England
06:21as a national heroine.
06:25She had conquered the English Channel.
06:28Only five men had ever done it before,
06:30but Trudy's time was two hours faster,
06:33and she was a woman.
06:34The roaring 20s never were louder,
06:36and New York's reception was overwhelming and historic.
06:39This was the city's first ticker tape parade,
06:42setting a precedent for the Lindbergh reception
06:44the following year.
06:50In 1959, Gertrude Adderley is an active businesswoman,
06:54still interested in sports, especially swimming.
06:57But 1926 belonged to her.
06:59Trudy, alongside fabulous Mayor Jimmy Walker,
07:02the toast of the town.
07:08The first United States postage stamps
07:11went on sale on July 1st, 1847.
07:14The 10-cent stamp had a picture of George Washington.
07:17Benjamin Franklin was on the 5-cent stamp.
07:20He was the first postmaster of the United States.
07:23Once man could fly, the sky was no longer the limit.
07:26In the 1950s, outer space became the next frontier.
07:29But who would be the pioneers,
07:31and what would they find there?
07:33Could man survive in space?
07:35To find the answers to these questions,
07:37scientists designed satellites
07:38that could travel safely into space
07:40without pilots and send information back to Earth.
07:43The Russian satellite Sputnik
07:45was the first to orbit the Earth in 1957.
07:48Then in 1958, America launched the Explorer 1.
07:52January 1958, a Jupiter-C rocket
07:55is ready to launch a space satellite.
07:57The rocket carries the Explorer 1,
07:59a six-foot bullet-shaped container
08:01only inches across,
08:02crammed with electronic gear.
08:04Total weight, 30 pounds.
08:08The scientists who created Explorer 1
08:10show it to the world at a press conference
08:12with leaders of the scientific team,
08:15Dr. Werner von Braun,
08:16James Van Allen,
08:17and Dr. William Pickering,
08:19a three-way collaboration
08:20between private industry,
08:22academic science,
08:23and the military.
08:24The rocket stands waiting on its launching pad
08:27for hours.
08:28The countdown finally approaches zero.
08:32It was a moment of enormous tension
08:34because in 1958,
08:35every missile launch was an experiment.
08:38Any one of tens of thousands of things
08:39could go wrong with catastrophic results.
08:42The scientists had done their best.
08:44The moment was at hand.
08:45The countdown reached zero.
08:50Some three minutes later,
08:51Explorer was in orbit,
08:52broadcasting to the world
08:53its coded scientific data.
09:00Here's today's retro quiz.
09:02It was shaped like a cigar
09:03and designed to save rubber.
09:05What is it?
09:06I'll be back with a look
09:07at the goofy contraption
09:08later in the show.
09:12When cars were first invented,
09:13there were no traffic rules.
09:15There was no traffic.
09:17Once cars became popular,
09:18the streets became dangerous.
09:20Drivers didn't stop at intersections
09:22like they do today.
09:23They drove right through.
09:25So police officer William Potts
09:27got creative.
09:28He put together the first traffic light
09:30out of railroad signals.
09:31It was installed in Detroit,
09:33Detroit, Michigan in 1920.
09:37On July 19, 1941,
09:40the first African-Americans
09:41to be trained as military pilots
09:43entered the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama.
09:46They were known as the Tuskegee Airmen
09:48and served as fighter pilots in North Africa.
09:51They flew over 15,000 missions,
09:53destroyed over 1,000 German aircraft,
09:55and received more than 150
09:57distinguished flying crosses.
09:59Now here's Brandy
10:00with more fantastic firsts.
10:03In the Roman Catholic Church,
10:04sainthood is only awarded
10:06to a holy person
10:07after his or her death.
10:08In 1946,
10:10Francis Cabrini
10:10became the first American
10:12to earn the title.
10:14Cabrini High School
10:15in New York
10:15became the center of interest
10:16to American Catholics
10:18as they gathered
10:18at the shrine
10:19of Francis Cabrini
10:20to pay tribute
10:21to America's first saint.
10:22Cardinal Spellman blessed the crowd
10:25as he proceeded to the chapel
10:26to celebrate the sainthood
10:27of Francis Cabrini.
10:29Mother Cabrini
10:30had been proclaimed a saint
10:31by Pope Pius in Rome.
10:34Cardinal Spellman
10:34called attention
10:35to the great Christian works
10:36of Mother Cabrini
10:37who died in 1917
10:39after a lifetime of service
10:41in the church.
10:42It is in this high school,
10:44one of the many monuments
10:45raised to her memory,
10:46that she lies entombed
10:47beneath the altar.
10:48St. Francis Day
10:49on December 22nd
10:50is named after Mother Cabrini.
10:53Doctors and scientists
10:54around the world
10:54were amazed
10:55by new mom Olivia Dion
10:57of Ontario, Canada.
10:59She gave birth to quintuplets.
11:01That's five babies.
11:03Born in 1934,
11:05the Dion quintuplets
11:06were the first ever
11:07to survive for more than a day.
11:09The five identical sisters,
11:11Annette, Cecile,
11:12Yvonne, Marie,
11:14and Emily
11:14were born two months early.
11:17Their mother kept
11:17the tiny two-pounders
11:18near an open oven
11:19to keep them warm.
11:21Although they were healthy,
11:22the quintuplets
11:23were taken to a government hospital
11:24built especially for them
11:25called Quintland.
11:27They lived there
11:28for nine years.
11:29The world was fascinated by them.
11:31As many as 6,000 people a day
11:34visited the part hospital,
11:36part tourist attraction.
11:37The curious could watch the girls
11:39through special windows.
11:44The sisters were finally allowed
11:46to go home to their parents
11:47in 1943.
11:48Quintland had made millions,
11:50but the five little sisters
11:51never got a penny.
11:54The first words spoken in space were,
11:56I see the Earth.
11:57It's so beautiful.
11:59Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin
12:01spoke these words
12:02as he hurtled around the Earth
12:03on April 12, 1961.
12:06Yuri was the first man in space
12:07and a very brave pioneer.
12:10No one knew what would happen
12:11to a human in space.
12:12Some thought our brains or bodies
12:14could be harmed by the weightlessness.
12:16Yuri returned safely home to Earth
12:18as a hero.
12:19Ed Herlihy brings us the first pictures
12:21of Yuri in Russia
12:22after his historic trip.
12:25The cosmonaut,
12:26hailed as Russia's man of the century,
12:28arrived at the airport
12:29outside of Moscow
12:30to make his first public appearance.
12:35Major Gagarin walked a long red carpet
12:37to a platform
12:38where Russian leader,
12:39Nikita Khrushchev, waited.
12:40This rare Russian footage
12:43shows the crowd going wild
12:45when they caught a glimpse
12:46of the first man to conquer space.
12:50The daring pilot thanked his countrymen
12:52for the opportunity
12:53to blast into space.
12:55The two celebrated
12:56with a big bear hug.
13:01The first movie projector,
13:03called the kinetoscope,
13:04was created by inventor
13:06Thomas Edison in 1891.
13:08Edison said his new invention
13:10would do for the eye
13:11what the phonograph does for the ear.
13:13Just five years later,
13:14two French brothers named Lumiere
13:16began showing motion pictures
13:18to the public
13:18in Paris and London.
13:21Lots of people
13:21like to sing in the shower,
13:23but we found a bath time performance
13:25like no other.
13:27Rub-a-dub-dub.
13:28It's ten men in tubs.
13:30These bathtub yodelers
13:31are in a competition
13:32to become Eugene Oregon's
13:34chief nightingale.
13:35The winner?
13:36You be the judge.
13:38I've been workin' on the railroads
13:42all in the long day.
13:47I've been workin' on the railroads
13:50till this person's drive away.
13:56Go to the force of the wind,
14:00rise up toward in the moan.
14:04Can't hear the captain shout in
14:08care for your boy.
14:12On that note,
14:14here's Alexis with a word
14:15about Florence Nightingale.
14:20Florence Nightingale was often called
14:22the Angel of Mercy.
14:23She worked as a nurse
14:24during a time when women
14:25didn't work at all.
14:26When she was 16 years old,
14:28Florence Nightingale heard
14:29the word of God.
14:30She said he'd chosen her
14:31for a divine mission,
14:32to help the sick.
14:34Nightingale studied nursing
14:35and went to work
14:36in a London hospital.
14:38Florence was determined
14:38to change the terrible conditions
14:40in the hospitals
14:41by providing patients
14:42with clean sheets and bandages,
14:44hot water, and food.
14:46Florence saw a need
14:47for more women like her,
14:48so she opened the first
14:49training school for nurses
14:50in 1860.
14:52Florence Nightingale
14:53is this week's spiritual hero.
14:58Take a look at the first hats
15:00designed to protect you
15:01from a sunburn.
15:03Here's a clear combination
15:05of fashion and function.
15:07They called them glass hats,
15:09but they were really
15:10made of plastic.
15:11The transparent brim
15:12let in the sun
15:13and kept out the burn.
15:15Or so designers said.
15:17These brilliant Easter bonnets
15:19were a stylish first attempt
15:21at sunscreen.
15:21They were also waterproof
15:23in case of April showers.
15:26Here are some of the
15:27sweetest hats you'll ever see.
15:30With sugar and spice
15:32and everything nice,
15:33this pastry chef
15:34has cooked up
15:35a buffet of bonnets.
15:37This is no half-baked idea.
15:39Chef has thought of everything.
15:41These wearable confections
15:43are suitable for all occasions,
15:44even church.
15:50That must be a wedding hat.
15:51Now here's the icing on the hat.
15:53A cake.
15:55These beautiful creations
15:56will melt in your mouth.
16:121947 was a milestone year
16:14in the world of baseball.
16:15That was the season
16:16Jackie Robinson joined
16:17the Brooklyn Dodgers,
16:19becoming the first
16:19African-American
16:20in Major League Baseball.
16:22The risky move
16:23by the Dodgers
16:23paid off
16:24as the Speedy Robinson
16:26became an instant star.
16:28He led the league
16:28in stolen bases,
16:30won Rookie of the Year honors,
16:31and helped the Dodgers
16:32reach the 1947 World Series.
16:35Now here are Michael
16:36and Adriana
16:37with more sports.
16:38For the first time
16:39on the court,
16:40tennis champion Bobby Riggs
16:42finally meets an opponent
16:43he can love and respect.
16:45Because on this day,
16:46he plays tennis
16:47against himself.
16:49It's slowly inside the lines
16:50for Bobby Riggs
16:51as he prepares to play tennis
16:53with an invisible partner,
16:55thanks to this new handy gadget
16:56from Australia.
16:57The tennis ball is attached
17:02to an elastic band
17:03and a heavy bag
17:04to anchor it down.
17:05When Bobby hits the ball,
17:07it comes right back.
17:09It's the kind of game
17:10he just loves to play
17:11because he can't lose.
17:12The invisible tennis partner
17:31is perfect,
17:32except for one thing.
17:34It doesn't jump over the net
17:35to congratulate you
17:36when you win.
17:37Now check out this take
17:43on fly fishing.
17:45It's the perfect solution
17:46for fishermen
17:47who get queasy at sea.
17:48Blim fishing!
17:50Instead of riding the waves,
17:51they're floating on air.
17:52They drop a line
17:53and before long,
17:54they get a bite.
17:56Yikes!
17:56They snagged a shark!
17:58He's so big,
17:59he could pull the anglers
18:00into the sea.
18:02Then we'll see
18:02who gets a bite.
18:04The man-eater
18:05put up a good fight
18:06but didn't stand a chance
18:07against the blimp fisherman.
18:09There's no net
18:10big enough for this guy.
18:11So how do they get
18:12the seven-foot,
18:13250-pound monster
18:15into the blimp?
18:17They don't.
18:17He just dangles below.
18:19This is the first shark catch
18:21from a blimp ever recorded.
18:23Seems a little fishy to me.
18:25Here's something
18:26you probably won't see again.
18:28In fact,
18:28it's pretty hard to see it all.
18:31Night water skiing.
18:33This is the first
18:34and probably last time
18:35these water skiers
18:36tried something like this.
18:38It's just way too dangerous.
18:40How can they see
18:41where they're going?
18:43Even with their torches blazing,
18:45it's still pretty dark out there.
18:47But that doesn't stop
18:48these daring skiers.
18:50They make jumps
18:51and even cross
18:51in front of each other.
18:53Don't fall
18:54or it's definitely
18:55lights out.
18:57Basketball or hockey,
18:59ever wonder which sport
19:00is faster and more exciting?
19:02Why not combine the two
19:04for a truly fast
19:06and furious new sport
19:07called ice skateball?
19:08Look at these guys go.
19:10Bet they'll be coming home
19:11with a few bumps
19:12and bruises.
19:19The crowd sure likes the show.
19:22What's the score?
19:23Who knows?
19:24I wouldn't expect to see
19:26this mayhem
19:27in the Olympics
19:28anytime soon.
19:30Franklin Delano Roosevelt
19:32was elected president
19:33of the United States
19:34for the first time
19:35in 1932.
19:36It was the first
19:37of four terms
19:38as president for Roosevelt,
19:39something that cannot
19:40happen today.
19:41Since that time,
19:42the Constitution
19:43has been changed
19:44to limit presidents
19:45to only two terms
19:46or eight years.
19:47In the 1932 election,
19:49Roosevelt ran against
19:50Herbert Hoover
19:51who was the president
19:52at the time.
19:53Joining me now
19:54is Professor Watson.
19:55How close
19:56was the 1932 election?
19:58Franklin D. Roosevelt
19:59won in a landslide.
20:01Nearly 23 million
20:02Americans voted for FDR.
20:04Fewer than 16 million
20:05voted for Hoover.
20:06What did the people
20:07like so much about FDR?
20:10Good question.
20:11The 1932 election
20:12took place in the middle
20:13of the Great Depression.
20:15Many Americans blamed
20:16President Hoover
20:16who was elected in 1928
20:18for the Depression.
20:19Was the Depression
20:21Hoover's fault?
20:22Not really.
20:23President Hoover
20:24was elected a few months
20:25before the stock market
20:26crash of 1929.
20:28Businesses closed
20:29and millions lost
20:30their jobs
20:31after the crash.
20:32People expected
20:33the president
20:33to get people
20:34working again.
20:35Didn't he help
20:36the people?
20:37He cared about the people,
20:39but Hoover believed
20:40the government
20:40should not be involved
20:41with the country's economy.
20:43He gave government
20:44loans to businesses
20:45hoping that they
20:46would be able
20:46to provide jobs.
20:47He didn't believe
20:48the government
20:48should give money
20:49to the unemployed
20:50or provide jobs
20:51for them.
20:52What did Roosevelt
20:54offer the people?
20:55Roosevelt came along
20:57with a plan
20:58called the New Deal
20:59which promised
21:00to get people
21:00back to work.
21:01Americans were ready
21:02for the New Deal
21:03and a new president.
21:05So on November 8th,
21:06the country chose Roosevelt
21:07as their new leader.
21:08Thanks, Professor.
21:10Now here's Adriana
21:11with birthdays.
21:13Make a wish
21:14and blow out the candles
21:14for these newsmakers
21:15who were the first.
21:17Virginia Dare
21:18was the first child
21:19to be born in America
21:20to English parents.
21:21The date was August 18, 1587
21:24on Roanoke Island
21:25which is now North Carolina.
21:27Not much is known
21:28about Virginia's life.
21:30All the Roanoke colonists
21:31disappeared mysteriously
21:32in 1590.
21:34George Washington
21:35is known as the father
21:36of our country.
21:37He was born
21:38on February 22, 1732.
21:41Washington was elected
21:42as our first president
21:43in 1789
21:45after leading
21:46the Continental Army
21:47to victory
21:47over the British
21:48in the Revolutionary War.
21:51Thurgood Marshall
21:52born on July 2, 1908
21:54was the first African American
21:56to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court.
21:58Before becoming
21:59a Supreme Court justice
22:00Marshall was a lawyer
22:01who fought hard
22:02against segregation.
22:04He was appointed
22:04to the Supreme Court
22:06by President Lyndon Johnson
22:07in 1967.
22:08Doctors can see bones
22:13inside of our bodies
22:14thanks to German scientist
22:15Wilhelm Rohingen
22:16who discovered X-rays
22:18by accident in 1895.
22:20He was experimenting
22:21with a cathode ray tube.
22:23When the tube was switched on
22:24it made crystals
22:25that happened to be
22:26in the room glow.
22:27That was because
22:28the tube produced
22:29invisible X-rays.
22:30Wilhelm named them X-rays
22:32because in science
22:33the letter X
22:33stands for something
22:34that is unknown.
22:35In 1940
22:38for the first time
22:39President Franklin Roosevelt
22:41instituted a peacetime draft.
22:44It was called
22:45the Selective Training
22:46and Service Act
22:46of 1940.
22:48Our country
22:48was not yet involved
22:49in World War II
22:50but Roosevelt
22:51wanted all nations
22:52to know
22:53that we were prepared.
22:54It is a program
22:55obviously
22:56of defensive preparation
22:59and of defensive
23:00preparation only
23:02to the 16 million
23:04young men
23:05who register today.
23:07I say
23:08that democracy
23:10is your cause.
23:11The cause of you.
23:13This was our country's
23:15first important response
23:16to Adolf Hitler's
23:17actions in Europe.
23:18The terrible fate
23:20of nations
23:21whose weakness
23:22in fighting attack
23:24is too well known
23:26to us all.
23:27We must
23:29and we will
23:30marshal
23:31our great
23:32potential strength
23:34to fend off
23:35war
23:36from our shores.
23:38We must
23:39and will
23:41prevent
23:41our land
23:42from becoming
23:44a victim
23:45of aggression.
23:47All men
23:48between the ages
23:48of 21 and 35
23:50were required
23:51to sign up
23:51for the draft.
23:52A lottery system
23:53was established
23:54to determine
23:55who would be
23:55called into service.
23:57The first lottery
23:58was held
23:58on October 29, 1940.
24:03A little over
24:04a year later,
24:05the Japanese
24:06bombed Pearl Harbor
24:07which forced
24:08a prepared United States
24:09into World War II.
24:20Here's the answer
24:21to the retro quiz.
24:22What is shaped
24:23like a cigar
24:23and designed
24:24to save rubber?
24:25A three-wheeled car.
24:27It may look
24:28more like a submarine
24:29than a car
24:29but this crazy contraption
24:31did ride the roads.
24:33It's an innovative car.
24:34One of the first
24:35with only three wheels.
24:43Having one less tire
24:44saved rubber
24:45and helped make
24:46this machine
24:46easy to maneuver.
24:47look how it makes
24:48this tight turn
24:49around Mr. Policeman.
24:50Too bad
24:51it never caught on.
24:58In July of 1945,
25:01for the first time ever,
25:0250 bald men
25:04put their heads together
25:05in a haven
25:05for the hairless.
25:06Bald was beautiful
25:07as far as
25:08these guys
25:09were concerned.
25:10The United
25:11Bald Heads of America
25:12enjoyed each
25:13shining hour
25:14when they gathered
25:15in Port Arthur, Texas
25:16for their first
25:17annual meeting.
25:18These fine heads
25:19of skin
25:20received a warm
25:20welcome from both
25:21the local ladies
25:22and the sun.
25:24The exalted
25:24high dome
25:25received the key
25:26to the city
25:26and that's a bare fact.
25:2850 members
25:30were in attendance
25:30and their bald
25:31pates dazzled
25:32their welcoming
25:33committee.
25:34Uh oh,
25:35looks like sabotage.
25:37The hairless
25:38horde seems curious.
25:41And here comes
25:42security.
25:43No sabotage.
25:44Just the local
25:45barber trying
25:46to get his,
25:46uh,
25:47cut?
25:48In the animal world,
25:49there's no such
25:50thing as discrimination.
25:52This trio
25:53of orphaned
25:54lion cubs
25:54was looking
25:55for a mother.
25:56You can bet
25:56they never expected
25:57to be adopted
25:58by a dog.
26:00That's definitely
26:01a first.
26:02This courageous
26:03canine named
26:03Queenie didn't
26:04even mind
26:05if those cutie pies
26:06had sharp teeth.
26:07She just let
26:08them drink up.
26:13Nature truly
26:14knows no bounds
26:15and when Queenie's
26:16not available,
26:17the fuzzy felines
26:18drink right
26:19from the bottle.
26:25Right now,
26:26those little guys
26:27are finding it
26:28hard to get around.
26:29But in no time,
26:30they'll be way
26:30too much to handle.
26:35Now let's take
26:36a look at the
26:37first woman
26:37to ever own
26:38a wax museum.
26:40Her name
26:41was Mrs. O.H.
26:42Stuber,
26:42and she's no dummy.
26:44She brings life
26:45into these wax figures.
26:50First,
26:50a person's face
26:51is cast in plaster
26:52to make a mold.
26:53Then,
26:54hot wax
26:55is poured into the mold.
26:56When it cools,
26:57Mrs. Stuberk
26:58has herself
26:58a replica
26:59of somebody's head.
27:09Which one's real?
27:11Neither.
27:12They're both wax.
27:13This lady definitely
27:14has a head for business.
27:17That's our retro news report
27:18for this week.
27:20Now,
27:20here's the last laugh.
