Here is "Look to the Stars"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiMHoozJeC4&feature=related

Re-watching it, I wondered if the absence of a back student was simply the writer or producer's decision that it was unlikely that there would have been a black child in Virginia City at that time. The general idea was that the episodes were taking place 100 years before they were first viewed and in 1862 the Civil War was far from voer and Lincoln had not emancipated the slaves so the surge of former slaves into the west would not have taken place yet.

Still, there could have been: the gold and silver rushes drew people form all over the place and ex- or escaped slaves might well have been there. And it would have been a good move for the producers to put a black child in the picture, considering what was going on in America in 1972. I have to feel that it was considered at some point and that somebody decided not to.

By the way, That's Penny Stanton as the mother.

Do you know what opera singer dubbed Willaim Marshall's singing voice in "Enter Thomas Bowers"?

By the way, Thomas Bowers was a real person:

SWC,

Marshall did his own singing in the show. I don't think his voice was dubbed over. When I compiled rerun info, I came across two TV Guide listings in Texas and Georgia and "Bowers" was not aired that summer on those affiliates.

I assumed he was dubbed but I note his Wikipedia article says he was an opera singer as well as an actor. His voice in the episode sure sounds terrific.

You're welcome. I recall reading he sang opera. You can tell by listening to his voice--as he sings, it matches his speaking voice.
