Captain Penny’s Law<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cYou can fool some of the people all of the time, all of the people some of the time, but you can\u2019t fool Mom. She\u2019s pretty nice and she\u2019s pretty smart. If you do what Mom says you won\u2019t go far wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n About The Show<\/strong><\/p>\n If you grew up in Cleveland during the ’50s and ’60s, you undoubtedly recall the local children’s television show, starring Captain Penny (Ron Penfound). This popular kids program presented comedic shorts, like The Three Stooges, and Little Rascals, along with a variety of cartoons. During the show, Captain Penny would play host, in his signature train conductor outfit, to various special guests during the different segments.<\/p>\n Enter Mr. Jingeling<\/strong><\/p>\n When Mr. Jingeling debuted in Christmas 1956, he captured the attention of Captain Penny’s producer, Earl Keyes. It wasn’t long before actor, Max Ellis<\/a>, began making annual appearances on the show as Mr. Jingeling from Thanksgiving to Christmas. The segments were sponsored by The Halle Bros. Co.<\/a>, and would feature Mr. Jingeling counting down the days ’til Christmas, as well as promoting toys, and telling stories about his many keys. After the sudden death of Max Ellis, Earl Keyes took over the role in 1965, and continued to play the character until Mr. Jingeling stopped appearing on telelvision in 1987. Keyes became the longest person to portay the character, and the persona many fondly remember.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.9.6″ header_font_size=”16px” header_line_height=”1.3em” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” text_orientation=”right” custom_margin=”||5px|” use_border_color=”off”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”5450,5449,5445,5446,5447,5448″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.9.6″ background_layout=”dark” use_border_color=”off”][\/et_pb_gallery][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.6″ header_font_size=”25px” header_line_height=”1.3em” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_blurb alt=”Visit the actual house of television’s original Mr. Jingeling, Max Ellis!” _builder_version=”4.9.6″ header_level=”h3″ body_text_color=”#242424″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” max_width_tablet=”50px” use_border_color=”off”]<\/p>\n Dates Aired: <\/strong>March 2, 1955 – September 4, 1971<\/p>\n Information:<\/strong> The appeal of Captain Penny had star, Ron Penfound, hosting several related shows as the character during his time on television: Captain Penny’s Comedy Clubhouse, Captain Penny’s Fun House, and Captain Penny’s Fun Farm.<\/p>\n Special Guests: <\/strong>Jungle Larry and Safari Jane with their exotic animals, the adoptable pets from “Pooch Parade,” Bobo the Clown (an inflatable toy balloon), Mister F.W.
