The Naderson Family is a show based on the escapdes of
Oliver, Mary and Junior Anderson as they get into endless
trouble and sticky situations in each and every episode.
Oliver is a sourpuss type of fellow, while Mary often knows
best and Junior is a kind of Dennis the Menace. This is a
slapstick type and extremely hilarious sitcom.
Walter Tetley (2 June 1915 – 4 September 1975), an American
voice actor, was a child impersonator in radio's classic
era, with regular roles on The Great Gildersleeve and The
Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show, as well as continuing as a
voice-over artist in animated cartoons, commercials, and
spoken-word record albums. He is perhaps best known as the
voice of "Sherman" in the Jay Ward-Bill Scott "Mr. Peabody"
TV cartoons.
Tetley was born Walter Campbell Tetzlaff to a Scottish born
mother, Jessie Smith Campbell, and father Frederick Tetzlaff
who was born in New York of German parents.
Tetley was a precocious performer even when he really was a
child, beginning at age seven performing Harry Lauder
imitations. He established himself in radio, usually playing
smart-aleck kids. Tetley moved to Hollywood in 1938 and
acted in a number of films (he is the wisecracking messenger
or pageboy in several Universal Pictures comedies), but
radio was his truest metier.
Walter Tetley's perennially adolescent voice was the result
of a medical condition. While this has been cited as a
hormonal problem, one of Tetley's employers, Bill Scott,
offered a more specific explanation. According to Scott,
Tetley's mother was reluctant to give up the revenue
generated from her son's busy radio career and, in Scott's
words, "She had him fixed [castrated]. Walter Tetley, the
world's tallest midget." Whatever the medical reason, the
condition arrested Tetley's development, preventing his
voice from breaking into maturity as well as preventing his
further physical growth. Tetley would sound forever as
though he was stranded on the bridge between boyhood and
pre-teen adolescence. Combined with his excellent delivery
and spot-on comic timing, he parlayed his condition into a
radio career that lasted nearly a quarter of a century, with
some of radio's biggest stars included Tetley in their
shows, including but not limited to Fred Allen, Jack Benny,
W.C. Fields and others.
Fans of vintage radio remember Walter Tetley best for two
roles. He was cast to play spunky nephew Leroy on The Great
Gildersleeve, beginning in 1941. (Leroy's "Ah, you kiddin'?"
and "Aw, for corn's sake!" became almost as much of a pair
of show catch-phrases as the title character's booming
trill, "Leeee-rooooy!") Tetley stayed with that role for
just about the entire life of that show, voicing Leroy in
and out of jams from making nitroglycerin with his home
chemistry set to helping Uncle Gildersleeve (Harold Peary)
break out of the public library into which they got locked
accidentally, after hours. The bad news: his unique
appearance and true age obstructed him from playing the
shorter, younger Leroy in the four Gildersleeve feature
films (though he did appear in a speaking role as a bellhop
in the third of those films, 1943's Gildersleeve on
Broadway).
But Tetley might have been an even bigger hit beginning in
1948, when he took on a concurrent continuing role on an
equally popular comedy, playing obnoxious grocery boy Julius
Abruzzio on The Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show until the show's
finish in 1954. (Surviving episodes that include pre-air
audience warmups by Phil Harris usually included Harris
alluding to Tetley as "the kid who steals the show every
week"—even though Tetley was almost 40 years old when the
Harris-Faye show ended production.) Julius combined an
obsession with getting the better of his clumsy elders Phil
and Remley to an unconcealed crush on Alice and was as much
a fixture on the show as Harris's in-character malapropping
vanity and Faye's tart but loving earthiness. He also played
minor roles, such as a boy in a drugstore in the radio drama
Dr. Christian (1937–1939). An example is in the "Dog Story"
episode.
"I wondered what a radio show would be like if the audience
could see the actors on stage," Tetley was quoted as saying
once about his radio work. "But then they couldn’t be
allowed to read scripts. It would be like a movie. That
wouldn’t be any good. Radio would then be the same as
movies." To the same interviewer, Tetley admitted that
adulthood in the body of a child troubled him enough,
finding it difficult for many years to make adult friends or
even to assert himself to his own family. But he finally
made peace with the dichotomy, accepted himself, and
distinguished between his meal ticket and his self
successfully.
