Culture In Brooklyn
A Shakespeare play performed outdoors in Brooklyn? The cast includes Monty Woolley, Anne Seymour, Pert Kelton, John Gibson, Art Carney, John Griggs, and organist Jack Ward. Nat Hiken created, directed, and wrote the show, with Billy Friedburg also contributing as a writer. Don Pardo serves as the announcer, while Tony Marvin appears as the spokesman for Chesterfield cigarettes.
Nathaniel "Magnificent" Montague, is an American R&B disc jockey notable not only for the soul music records he helped promote on KGFJ Los Angeles and WWRL New York City, but also his trademark catch-phrase, "Burn, baby! Burn!" that became the rallying cry of the 1965 Watts riots. Following criticism that this phrase had inadvertently stirred up rioters, Montague advocated non-violence and urged young listeners to pursue their education, coining the new phrase "Learn, baby! Learn!"
