Faithful in every detail to the original canteen on West 44th Street, the Stage Door Canteen radio program was broadcast from the stage of the CBS Radio Theater, just one block away. Before the microphone at 9.30 p.m. on April 2, 1943 are: front row, left to right: Marjorie Lawrence; three servicemen who won dogs during the broadcast; Raymond Paige (standing between the two soldiers): Bert Lytell, holding the mike; Helen Menken; Frank Fay; Lillian Gish, and Pert Kelton. The $3,100 a week paid by the Corn Products Company for the broadcast kept thousands of sandwiches and pieces of cake moving across the counter to the boys in the armed services who stopped by the Canteen.
Travis Kelce when asked if he has learned anything from watching Taylor Swift put on one of the biggest live music events of all time:
''I did: Don’t try and be Taylor, that’s what I learned. Yeah, she’s on a whole other stratosphere. She’s the best at what she does for a reason. It’s because she’s so articulate and just very dialed into every single thing that she does. And that’s the beauty of it. I’d be silly if I ever tried to take anything from what she does, other than just enjoy the people that show up. I think that’s one thing I could probably take away: She really relates to the people she’s performing in front of, and so I’ll take that.''
