The Jim Craine Show Guests: Jon Provost and Frank Ferrante Labor Day Memories, Lassie History, and Groucho Marx Magic with Jon Provost and Frank Ferrante Jim Craine marks Labor Day weekend and his own birthday from the Pleasantville Music Shop with phone conversations featuring Jon Provost, who played Timmy on Lassie, and Frank Ferrante, the acclaimed performer behind An Evening with Groucho. A Birthday Show From Pleasantville Music Shop Jim Craine opens the show from the Pleasantville Music Shop, acknowledging technical difficulties from the previous week and welcoming listeners to Labor Day weekend. The announcer introduces him as Atlantic City's singing lifeguard, marking 51 years in show business. Craine runs through his sponsor list in character, including a Dr. Boris voice promoting Halloween season for the shop's 85th year in business, along with Copiers Plus in Egg Harbor Township, the Maplewood Inns of Hammonton, Vineland, and Mays Landing, and the Dr. Jonathan Pitney House and Colonial Inn bed and breakfasts. He previews the hour, naming Jon Provost, who played Timmy on Lassie, and Frank Ferrante, known for his stage tribute to Groucho Marx, as the guests still to come. Before turning to business, the studio surprises Craine with a birthday performance, and the announcer wishes him well on behalf of BBS Radio TV as the show returns to its regular flow. Local News, Music Shop, and Birthday Countdown Craine spends a long stretch promoting the Pleasantville Music Shop and the community around it, reminding listeners that school is back in session and urging families to rent instruments through the shop's trusted rental program at pleasantvillemusicshop.com. He mentions that the store sells vinyl records and offers lessons on every instrument. Turning personal, he notes that his birthday falls on Tuesday, when he turns 73, and that he plans to spend Labor Day swimming in the ocean with two of his former lifeguard partners, recalling his 25 years as an Atlantic City lifeguard. He plugs the Shore Local newspaper and gives a shout-out to his friend Danny Steelman, whose book Once Upon a Summer Dream recounts a lifeguard-boat trip to Miami with Kelly O'Neal as the self-styled Blister Brothers. Craine also discusses his forthcoming Steel Pier Remembered big band album, featuring Bobby Darin and Neil Diamond tributes, with proceeds benefiting the Marine Mammal Stranding Center in Brigantine, which cares for seals, dolphins, and sea turtles. Jon Provost Joins to Talk Lassie History Craine welcomes Jon Provost, who played Timmy on Lassie, calling in from the West Coast. Provost explains that he started the show in 1957 and stayed through 1964, appearing in 249 half-hour episodes, at a pace of roughly 34 to 36 episodes a year when only three television channels existed. He recalls that Cloris Leachman played his television mother for only half a season before June Lockhart and Hugh Reilly took over as his parents, with Jon Shepodd also appearing early on. Provost notes that Lassie still airs in reruns across more than 60 countries and on multiple channels in the United States. He and Craine also talk cars, with Provost confirming he still owns and rallies his first car, a 1967 Lotus Elan. Provost gently corrects a piece of folklore, explaining that Timmy never actually fell down a well, despite it being one of the most persistent myths associated with the show. A Historic Reunion in Quakertown Provost and Craine turn to an upcoming public appearance at the historic Red Lion Inn in Quakertown, Pennsylvania, on Sunday, September 27th, starting at noon. Provost explains that the inn, built around 1746, predates the American Revolution and holds a direct connection to Lassie's origins: author Eric Knight reportedly wrote the short story that became the 1938 book Lassie Come-Home while working at a typewriter in the inn's rooms, accompanied by his own collie. Provost says the $65 ticket includes lunch, a question-and-answer session, and access to his books, pet products, and materials from his wife Laurie Jacobson, who appeared on the program the previous week. He adds that fellow collies are expected to attend alongside fans. Provost also shares a bit of dog-history trivia, noting that trainer Rudd Weatherwax, who bred and trained every Lassie since the early 1940s, also worked with Toto from The Wizard of Oz and the dog who played Old Yeller. Frank Ferrante Calls In From California Craine's second phone guest is Frank Ferrante, the performer behind An Evening with Groucho, reached from a tent in Alameda, California, where he is preparing his circus-themed show. Ferrante mentions he is sitting near fellow performer Joan Baez, who is also part of the production, and Craine asks him to pass along a greeting. Craine relays an update on his friend Bill Marks, Harpo Marx's son, who is recovering at home with round-the-clock nursing care and reportedly already teasing the nurses the way his father used to.
