In 1947, a 27-minute black-and-white short subject entitled Rehearsal: The Bell Telephone Hour, was released to theaters. This film featured, in addition to Voorhees and the orchestra, operatic bass Ezio Pinza and opera mezzo-soprano Blanche Thebom singing arias. It simulated a rehearsal of the popular program, and then, near the end, segued to what was presumably the actual radio broadcast.

Famous quotes containing the words bell and/or telephone:
“I was thinking of a son.
The womb is not a clock
nor a bell tolling,
but in the eleventh month of its life
I feel the November
of the body as well as of the calendar.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Women who marry early are often overly enamored of the kind of man who looks great in wedding pictures and passes the maid of honor his telephone number.”
