touch of that "Network" sound we all remember from 3,000 miles of  
telco line.

	I just read further on another Kraft Music Hall Youtube video  
provided by the same source.  A comment was offered stating that  
Herlihy did the commercials in New York as the program was fed from  
Burbank.  This is the best explanation so far as it helps to explain  
the hard switching seen in the videotape when the program goes to a  
Kraft commercial.  It is simply a hard switch from the incoming  
Burbank feed to the commercial originating in New York with Herlihy  
announcing his voiceover.  The tape is a recording of the New York  
release studio that feeds the network, including breakups at the  
beginnings and ends of the commercials.  The breakups are the result  
of the hard switches made going into and out of the Kraft commercials  
performed in New York.  They are NOT bad edits in the tape.  This also  
leads me to believe that the recording was made in New York, not  
Burbank.
