Harry Ruby (January 27, 1895 – February 23, 1974) was a Jewish American composer and screenwriter, who was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1970.
Biography
Ruby was born in New York City. After failing at his early ambition to become a professional baseball player, he toured the vaudeville circuit as a pianist with the Bootblack Trio and the Messenger Boys Trio until meeting the man who would become his longtime partner, lyricist Bert Kalmar. Kalmar and Ruby were a successful songwriting team for nearly three decades until Kalmar's death in 1947, a partnership portrayed in the 1950 MGM musical Three Little Words, starring Fred Astaire as Kalmar and Red Skelton as Ruby.
A good friend of Groucho Marx, Ruby appeared several times on his television program, You Bet Your Life. In his 1972 concert at Carnegie Hall, Marx gave the following introduction before performing a song of Ruby's: "I have a friend in Hollywood . . . I think I do, I'm not so sure. [laughter] His name is Harry Ruby [applause] and he wrote a lot of songs that I've sung over the years . . ."
King Leonardo and his Short Subjects is an animated cartoon series released in 1960 by Total Television (which would later rename itself Leonardo Productions after the main character of this show), sponsored by General Mills.
Plot
The show focused on Leonardo the lion (voiced by Jackson Beck), the well-meaning but often inept King of Bongo Congo, a fictional African nation notable for its bongos. Leonardo is assisted in all things by a calm, competent skunk named Odie Cologne, aka "Odie O. Cologne" (voiced by Allen Swift). Odie, the one who really keeps the kingdom on an even keel, has been by the king's side since they were children.
King Leonardo's permanent foe is the gangster-visaged Biggie Rat (voiced by Jackson Beck), who routinely attempt to overthrow Leonardo and taking over Bongo Congo. Biggie often has the help of Leonardo's sibling, and Biggie's most recurring henchman, Itchy Brother (voiced by Allen Swift), a good-for-nothing who has lost his mane (apparently to mange) and talks like a beatnik, of an evil German inventor named Professor Messer (voiced by Jackson Beck) and of Odie's flirtatious sister Carlotta. Biggie's and his henchmen's various schemes always end in their either landing in the dungeon or getting away.
The King Leonardo and his Short Subjects show began on NBC-TV October 15, 1960. It was the second color cartoon series on the network's Saturday morning schedule, replacing the first run of Ruff and Reddy. In addition to The King and Odie, the show featured The Hunter, Tooter Turtle and Twinkles. It was later renamed The King and Odie in syndication release. Due to the commercial nature of the Twinkles segment, that was not included in the syndication package.
