Puppeteer shares how Mr. Bingle first got his strings
SUMMARY: In April 1948, young puppeteers Harry Ory and Ray Fredericks drew attention with their work, leading to a collaboration with Edwin Harmon “Oscar” Isentrout to create a Christmas show at the Maison Blanche store. By December of that year, the debut of the puppet character Mr. Bingle was a massive success. Ory felt that he and Fredericks, who crafted the original show and marionettes, did not receive proper credit, often being labeled mere assistants. They contributed significantly to Mr. Bingle’s creation, which brought holiday joy to New Orleans, with various contributors involved in shaping the character’s inception.
