I just got done watching C.S.A. and was suprised to find out that one of the shows withing a show, Beulah was real? Do any kinescopes of it still survive?
You might get a better response in Cafe Society.
I’ll send this over there.
My searches would say no. I’m old enough to have seen it live on tv.
I remember watching Beulah when I was a kid. I had no idea the role was played by four different women, and what distinguished actresses they were.
Beulah is in the public domain and is distributed by Reel Media International. I wouldn’t be surprised if those were actual clips used in the film itself. (Good movie, by the way- I was thinking of starting a thread about it.)
You child. I remember it from radio.
I didn’t listen on radio as I had a tv since 1947. No need to listen to something so old-fashioned! 
Beulah? Beulah?
Somebudy bawl for Beulah?
Not a day off

Shokus Video sells a three-episode compliation from this program, and I know of at least 5 radio episodes to exist in private hands.
Here’s a thread from 2004 started by one of the crew members.
