Captain Kangaroo Costar James Wall – Mr. Baxter – Dies at 92
James Wall
James Wall, best known as Mr. Baxter on the iconic children's series Captain Kangaroo, died Wednesday following a short illness at the age of 92.
The revolutionary vaudevillian, who delighted audiences as Captain Kangaroo's friendly neighbor, appeared as the show's first African-American character from 1968-1978, a part he lobbied for after joining the production team in 1962.
In subsequent years Wall began a lengthy career as a stage manager for various CBS and CBS Sports broadcasts. Wall is survived by his wife of 58 years, Dolly.By Michelle Ward

Today I looked at my calendar, and I read that it's Chevy Chase's birthday. I love Chevy Chase. Unfortunately I failed, because his birthday was two week's ago. Today is Charley Chase's birthday. I searched the internet and discovered this video.
As it turns out, that Charley Chase isn't renowned for her comic prowess.
Today is actually the birthday of the late vaudevillian performer, Charley Chase. Chase worked with the Charlie Chaplin, Laurel and Hardy, and The Three Stooge. He was a director, a comedian and songwriter.
He also worked with the comedienne Marion Byron.
This video shows a bunch of her comedy clips.
The compiler of this video uses, the song Black Cow by Steely Dan. Well Guess who was in the band that would become Steely Dan? That's right, mister October 8th himself, Chevy Chase.
Coincidence?
Well get this Charley Chase was born in Baltimore. Baltimore is only 36.7 miles from Chevy Chase, Maryland.
When you Google "36.7" the first hit is for a boat company. Well Chevy Chase, was in Caddy Shack, which had a memorable boat scene.
Coincidence?
Chevy Chase can be connected to anything, be careful, this could be much bigger than we previously thought.
