Long before Bert and Ernie or any
of the Muppets made their television debut, there
was Bernie and Edie and the puppets that made up
Paul's Puppets, which was televised here in
Baltimore. Broadcast on WBAL - TV in the late 1940's
and into the 1950's, Paul's Puppets was a change to
the early days of television were someone would
simply read a script in front of a camera.

Bernie started Paul's
Puppets in 1929 after attending the Maryland
Institute of Art in Baltimore. He soon married Edie
, who would design and create the costumes for the
puppets. The two had a running joke between them for
years that Bernie married Edie so that he didn't
have to pay her. Edie was also the script
writer for the shows. " Paul's
Puppets " and " The Little Bookstop " appeared
on Baltimore television for ten years, starting in
1948.

This was the early days of television,
and Bernard & Edie Paul found that the idea of
puppets on TV was a idea that would work. This was
an era before big television sets, and big
television budgets. The Paul's Puppets show lasted
for over ten years, and is still remembered by
many who grew up watching WBAL back then, and WMAR
TV in later years.
