Summary

The Boys from Boise is identified as the first full-length televised musical comedy. The collection contains slides from the production, a program, a promotional booklet, and two clippings. The collection also contains slides from Television Follies of 1944 and a costume show titled Yesterday, both produced by DuMont, as well as some unidentified slides labeled "Fiesta," "Western," and "Rendezvous."
