Herman Pirchner with Jack Dempsey
Beginning in 1934, NBC broadcast national radio shows from Herman Pirchner's Alpine Village that featured the likes of Artie Shaw, Cab Calloway, and Pearl Bailey. NBC's shows made Pirchner a national celebrity. Pirchner is seen here with guest Jack Dempsey, a famous boxer who had held the World Heavyweight Championship title for much of the 1920s before going on to star as a boxer in an MGM film and open his own eponymous restaurant in New York City. | Date: ca. 1940 | Source: Cleveland Memory, Cleveland State University Library Special Collections
