What's on TV? Wednesday, July 6, 1955




For once, I'm at something of a loss for words. There really isn't anything new that I can mention today that I didn't already cover last Saturday, and none of these shows are particularly landmarks. That's not to say things are dull; "Seal Island" is an award-winning nature movie on Disneyland, and WPFH has a couple of classic movies: The Devil and Daniel Webster and part one of Things to Come. If you lived in Philadelphia in 1955, I don't think you would have had any trouble finding something to watch. So enjoy, and go out there and celebrate Independence Day tomorrow!
