A Blast From The Past!
I remember seeing this show many years ago. As I recall Cliff Arquette played his beloved character role of "Charley Weaver", and he would be visited from time to time by Dave Willock and Dennis Day. He had a huge ball of string the size of a beach ball, and supposedly lived by some railroad tracks and his entire house (a shack) would shake when the train came by breaking up a comical conversation from time to time. Cliff Arquette became quite famous on the television circuit with his appearances on the Jack Parr Show, the Dennis Day Show, and eventually his long running role on the "Hollywood Squares", not to mention the fact that he wrote a best selling book "Letters From Mt. Idy". Only a few people were aware of the fact that while all this was going on with his "acting life" that he had become somewhat of an expert as a historian on The Civil War. In fact, he became a curator of his own Civil War Museum in Gettsburg, Pa. I believe it was this short running show of "Dave and Charley" that opened his long running career. Cliffe Arquette aka "Charley Weaver" was a comic "Icon of Yesteryear" that I will always cherish.
