History and treatment

The central character, Top Cat — called T.C. by close friends (providing it’s with dignity) — is the leader of a gang of New York alley cats: Fancy-Fancy, Spook, Benny the Ball, The Brain, and Choo Choo. Top Cat and his gang were inspired by characters from the popular situation comedy The Phil Silvers Show. It has also been said that the Bowery Boys influenced the show. Maurice Gosfield, who played Private Duane Doberman on The Phil Silvers Show, also provided the voice for Benny the Ball in Top Cat (Benny’s rotund appearance was based on Gosfield too). Arnold Stang’s voicing of Top Cat strongly resembled Phil Silvers’ voice as well.

A frequent plotline revolved around the local policeman, Officer Charlie Dibble, and his ineffective attempts to evict the gang from the alley. The only reason that he wanted to be rid of them was that Top Cat and his gang were constantly attempting to earn a quick dollar—usually through an illegal scam. Dibble’s appearance was modelled on Allen Jenkins who did his voice. The name Dibble has passed into the vernacular as slang for police officers.

Characters

Top Cat

Top Cat, a yellow cat with violet hat and vest, is the protagonist of the series and leader of the gang of cats around which the series revolves. Top Cat is laid-back and persuasive, a leader who can also be a friend. Top Cat’s leadership is sometimes challenged by the rest of the gang, particularly when he has done something particularly shameful. Resolution of the revolt usually comes as capitulation by Top Cat to the will of the gang. One such incident features in “Dibble’s Birthday” where Top Cat plans to give away all of Dibble’s birthday gifts.

Benny the Ball

Benny and his mother from the episode “A visit from Mother”.

Benny is one of Top Cat’s right-hand men. He is short, chubby, naive, and cute, an indigo-coloured cat with a white sweater that fastens with a single button at his neck. Benny may appear to be simple-minded, but he manages to ask the most logical questions during the gang’s erratic endeavors. He is slow, not stupid. The gang relationship between Benny and Top Cat is based on a devoted friendship between them. An example of the lengths to which Top Cat will go to help Benny is illustrated by the episode “A visit from Mother” in which Top Cat arranges for Benny to appear to be the mayor of New York City. A number of episodes have focused on Benny, including “The Violin Player”, “The Unscratchables” and “The Missing Heir”. Benny the Ball is modeled after his voice actor Maurice Gosfield.

Choo-Choo

Choo-Choo is another of Top Cat’s right-hand men, usually his 2nd in command, and is enthusiastic and devoted to Top Cat even when he’s clueless on what he’s doing. He is a pink cat with a white long-sleeve turtle-neck shirt, is the tallest of the alley gang cats, and often is depicted with the eyes of a Siamese cat. He lives at the firehouse as the firehouse cat as seen in one episode. He had a couple of love crushes , however unlike Fancy-Fancy or Top Cat, Choo-Choo has no courage talking to girls.

Brain

Brain appears to be a common henchman to Top Cat. Brain is the dim-witted member of the alley gang, an orange cat with a purple shirt. Brain is notorious for being unable to keep a secret, and for his stuttering.

Fancy-Fancy

Fancy-Fancy appears to be a common henchman to Top Cat. He is laid-back, sweet-talking and is regularly seen chatting up the ladies before leaving them when hearing the ‘dustbin lid call’, a dark orange cat with a white scarf. He resembles Spook in appearance, and his voice and character were based on Cary Grant.

Spook

Spook rarely speaks in the episodes, but when he does, a torrent of “like”’s are used. He is similar to Fancy-Fancy in demeanor and appearance, a sweet talking cat whose vernacular is based on that of a beatnik. He is a pool shark with green fur and a black tie.

Officer Dibble

Officer Dibble is the policeman whose beat includes the alley. Though he usually resents the gang’s presence in the alley, there are times when he respects and loves them.

Cameos

In one of the episodes T.C and his friends are reading comic books. If you look at the right and look at the bottom you will see a Yogi Bear and a Huckleberry Hound comic.

Other Appearances

Top Cat and his gang appeared in Yogi’s Ark Lark. While the others don’t have dialogue, Top Cat was voiced by Daws Butler presumably because Arnold Stang wasn’t available at the time.

In 1985, Top Cat appeared on Yogi’s Treasure Hunt with all the other Hanna-Barbera characters; he was the one who assigned the treasure hunts. Officer Dibble made an appearance in the episode “Yogi’s Beanstalk” voiced by John Stephenson.

Hanna-Barbera Studios created and produced a feature-length telefilm based on the show titled Top Cat and the Beverly Hills Cats (part of the Hanna-Barbera Superstars 10 film series), in which the gang helps a young girl claim her inheritance.

In the “Fender Bender 500″ segment of Wake, Rattle, and Roll, Top Cat and Choo Choo were one of the racers driving a trash can-modeled monster truck called the Alley Cat.

In 1991, Top Cat became a teenage cat (but he still lived in a trash can) on NBC’s Yo Yogi! voiced by Arte Johnson.

In the Duck Dodgers episode “K-9 Quarry,” Top Cat was amongst the poached characters on the Alien Hunter’s ship.

Top Cat and his gang appeared in the Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law episode “Mindless” with Top Cat and Choo Choo voiced by Tom Kenny, Benny the Ball voiced by Maurice LaMarche, and Fancy-Fancy voiced by Chris Edgerly. The Brain has no dialogue and Spook is nowhere to be seen. In that episode, Harvey Birdman takes Top Cat and his gang home.

Comic Books

The gang’s adventures continued off-screen in comic books as Dell (which became Gold Key) published 31 issues from 1961 to 1970. Charlton Comics published 20 more issues from 1970 to 1973.

In Mexico, El Coleccion Primavera featured Don Gato in 1968.

Books

Little Golden Books and Durabooks have both produced hardcover children’s books starring Top Cat.

View-Master

T.C. and friends appeared on three View-Master reels in 1962. These were titled “Medal for Meddling,” “Zoo-Operation,” and “No Cat Fishing.”

Music

The Original TV Soundtrack was released by Colpix Records.

In 1965, Hanna-Barbera Records released an LP titled “Robin Hood Starring Top Cat.” T.C. and the gang were pictured as merry men on the cover. Songs included Top Cat, M-O-N-E-Y, Dibble, Robin Hood, and Buddies. It was re-released in 1977 on Columbia Records’ Special Products label.

A jazzy arrangement of the Top Cat theme can be heard most weeks over the end credits of Bob Dylan’s Theme Time Radio Hour.

International broadcasters

Canada

Top Cat was among the first programs aired on CTV. The country’s first private television network commenced broadcasts in October 1961.

Mexico and Latin America

The show was a massive hit in Mexico, where it is known as Don Gato y su pandilla (literally Mr. Cat and his gang) and the main characters adopted accents from different regions of Mexico. Besides Top Cat, all the other characters from the show were very famous: Benny was renamed Benito B. Bodoque y B. and given a more child-like voice than was the case in the original dubbing, Choo Choo was renamed Cucho and spoke with a strong Yucatan accent, Fancy-Fancy was Panza (Tummy), Spook renamed as the word’s rough translation Espanto, The Brain was called Demóstenes (honouring the Greek statesman Demosthenes, with whom he shares a speech impediment) and Officer Dibble renamed as Oficial Carlitos Matute. Top Cat is still rerun every few years.

United Kingdom

In the United Kingdom, the show was first aired on BBC television (now called BBC One) but renamed Boss Cat shortly after it premiered in 1962 because Top Cat was also the name of a brand of cat food. The dialogue and theme tune still referred to the character by his original name but a small cut was made in the opening credits (resulting in a slight ‘jump’ in the film) and a title card added before the episode proper. The new name was last used for a repeat run in 1989; by the time the series was next aired in 1999 the ‘Top Cat’ food brand had long since disappeared, allowing the original title to be used. This continues to be the case in the showings on Boomerang and BBC Two.

India

Top cat was one of the early favorites on the Cartoon Network. It was aired in India in the 1990s.

Geography

Carrier Mills is located at 37°41′13″N, 88°37′45″W (37.686923, -88.629149).

According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 1.2 square miles (3.2 km²), of which, 1.2 square miles (3.2 km²) of it is land and 0.81% is water.

Most of the southeastern half of Carrier Mills’ streets are placed parallel to the old NYC Railroad bed and the old trolley bypass on Carline St. compared to the north and south running streets north of the town. Now that the railroad tracks are gone, this makes a large open corridor of grass running from downtown to the east end of town with Washington St. being the only connecting street between east end and the rest of the village.

History

Home of the Catskin Days and The Wildcats, Carrier Mills is located seven miles (11 km) southwest of Harrisburg, Illinois, where most of the town’s citizens do their business and shopping. It was platted in November 1872 for William Housely as Morrillsville, named after Mr. Morrill the railroad superintendent who sealed a real-estate deal with Mill owner G. W. Carrier. It was commonly known and eventually renamed Carrier Mills after inventor G. Washington Carrier (”Uncle Wash”) who helped found the town when he built his elaborate saw mill just to the south of town, near the old Tuller Mansion farming and property site. The mills were used for the making of lumber to construct the business and homes in the town. Carrier and Morrill closed a real-estate deal to build a train depot there. The town was platted adjacent and north of the newly completed Cairo-Vincennes railroad. In 1873 the first postmaster was appointed to Carrier’s Mill (the name the railroad had assigned to the new stop). The Village was incorporated in 1894 and with the advent of the railroad and coal mines, the tiny village amidst timber and farms grew quickly. Today in legal documents its name remains Morrillsville. Carrier Mills did not own a single brick building and the sidewalks were of boards. The business district was mainly from the First National Bank west to the Texaco Gas Station, and all of frame construction. A disastrous fire hit in February of 1908 and burned everything on the north side of the street. In the next month, March 1908, fire burned everything on the south side of the street, from Main to Mill, except the Old Woolcoat Mill Exchange. The business men began immediately to rebuild, all of brick construction.

Coal mining also had a great influence on Carrier Mills. Some dozen coal mines privately and publicly owned ran around the town. During the towns heyday some 2,500 people bustled around the busy streets. After the coal mines closed around the state the population dwindled down to nearly 1500 according to the 2000 census. The entire county has suffered dearly from the closing of the coal mines, making Carrier Mills a near ghost town.

Carrier Mills High School, erected 1940.

Local School History

The first school in Carrier Mills was a large, two-story wooden structure with a bell tower, It was built in the early 1820s and located near the old Sahara Coal Company preparation plant (now abandoned), just northwest of the village. The little structure was made of logs and had a chimney of clay. School year began in August and ended in October because of the extreme cold. A typical school in 1850 was a subscription school - a fee of $2.50 was charged for a two-month period. From the Civil War period until 1875, the only formal school was located near Salem.

In 1887, the first school building in Carrier Mills Village was purchased for the purpose of being a prescription school at the corner of Walnut and Main St. The first major public school in the town was opened in 1903 on Furlong St. The first recognized two year high school course was started in 1915. In 1917 the high school became a registered three-year high school until 1926 when it was changed to a community high school fully accredited by the state of Illinois.

Circa 1940, the Carrier Mills Public School building burned down after a disastrous fire starting during a Boy Scout meeting in the basement. A much larger second school was rebuilt a year later as a grade school around the frame of the first burnt school.

On Feb. 4, 1938, the present building was built and occupied, with the gymnasium and auditorium added in 1940. The current enlarged gym was built in 1950-1. At the beginning of 1963 the small town of Stonefort joined the Carrier Mills school district and they became the Carrier Mills-Stonefort Unit 2 School District.

An underground tunnel that runs from the grade school to the high school was built in the 1950s from fear of nuclear fallout. It is now partially abandoned–thanks to the tearing down of the old grade school in 2001 and the building of the new one. The old grade school was torn down and replaced in 2002 with a newer building.

Downtown Demolition

The town’s once heavily traveled Main Street (looking south from Baptist Church) has been reduced to just a few buildings. At one time every Empty lot in this photo had a storefront.

Carrier Mills traditional business district with listed buildings, 1914.

The traditional downtown business district in Carrier Mills stretched from Route 45 down Main Street to Washington Street, and down Oak and Railroad streets between Main Street and Mill Street, but as of July, 2006 most of the Carrier Mills downtown was deemed condemned and demolished by the city. Citizens of Carrier Mills said it was better to see empty lots than rotten buildings. Most citizens found it sad that it had to come to such a conclusion.

The business district has been in a slow decline at least 25 years. No single big event can be tied to the decline of downtown Carrier Mills. Will Scarlet Mine closed in 1987. Sahara’s mines closed in 1993, putting hundreds out of work. Each of those closures reverberated through the local economy. Sahara had a reputation for buying locally — when their purchasing ceased it was a big blow to local businesses. But the Carrier Mills downtown area was on a slow downhill slide before the big mine closures.

In its heyday, Carrier Mills was home to several hotels, two theaters, The Knox, and the Grand Theater, Opened in 1936, and closed in 1970, two banks, the Dodds Bank and the First National, several stores and markets. Nearly all have been slowly torn or burned down over the past 20 years. This last sweep has been the icing on the cake and quickly finished the job that the private owners would have done eventually.

There were small stores on Friend, Main, East End and Washington streets — in some instances a small store could be found every few blocks. The small grocery stores gradually shut down as people became more apt to own cars and were therefore more mobile — something that contributed generally to the decline of small towns like Carrier Mills.

A new building ordinance was set in July 2006 for future plans of construction in the vacant downtown area. According to Mayor Louis Shaw, “What we’re concerned about is when you walk into town, it doesn’t look like a farm.” Something that seems to have already started to take place with the demolition of these buildings.

Carrier Mills Village Board approved entering an agreement with Bob Vancil and Associates to set up a tax increment finance district in an effort to draw new homeowners and businesses in April 2007. The TIF district is a chance for the village to increase the quality of life with new houses and incentives for improving houses that are in disrepair. Village Board members characterized establishing the TIF district as a roll of the dice. Vancil will set up the TIF for $15,000 with $5,000 paid up front. If the Scarlet Lake annexation does not happen and the board learns the TIF will not be of benefit to the village, they will not owe the additional $10,000. Vancil said the village will be responsible for paying $3,000 in legal requirements for the TIF, which include giving notice to all businesses and legal advertising in newspapers.

The Scarlet Lake subdivision is a series of 52 lots within the old Will Scarlet strip pit mining area. It will be added to the Village limits as part of the TIF/Annexation project.

Lakeview: A link to African American culture

Carrier Mills has a great African American history and influence. Free blacks founded the small early pioneer settlement of Lakeview, a mile south of Carrier Mills, shortly after the War of 1812. The History of Saline County (published by Saline County Genealogical Society in 1997) states that “Lakeview, a colored community south of town (Carrier Mills), is an older settlement than Carrier Mills. It is the oldest black settlement in Illinois. It was first named Pond Settlement because of the swamp land that surrounded it. According to local tradition free blacks living in the Pond Settlement helped runaway slaves and indentured servants escape from the saline works and the Old Slave House near Equality, Illinois.

Lakeview had its own school and grocery store along with many homes. In 1850, a Union Church was established near Carrier Mills in Saline Co., Ill. Most members were either Baptist or Methodist. An African Methodist Episcopal Church was organized at the home of Irvin Allen, who built a one-room log church building on his property. After the church burned, the congregation rebuilt and moved the church to Carrier Mills, where it sits today. This congregation is now Baber Chapel AME Church. The Lakeview cemetery has become a state historical landmark. The area of Lakeview is still a nearly 100% black area. After the closing of the Lakeview school in the 1950s, many people moved to the east side of Carrier Mills. There was much tension felt between the white and black populations in the town.

Carrier Mills Archaeological Project of 1978

The area, some 143 acres (0.58 km²) located approximately two miles south of Carrier Mills was inhabited by prehistoric people through out three different archaeological periods. Until the turn of the century, the South Fork of the Saline River was a meandering stream with large areas of swamps and shallow cypress lakes nearby. These areas were rich in plants and animals that prehistoric inhabitants sought for food. Therefore, the locality became a natural focal point for human settlement. In 1978 and 1979, archeologists intensively investigated this area. Excellent preservation conditions permitted the recovery of many tools and animal and plant remains that have provided significant new insights into the prehistory of southern Illinois.

Sporadic use of the area by small groups of hunters and gatherers can be dated to 8000 BC, and the area was used more or less continuously until AD 1400. Settlement activity increased dramatically during the late Middle Archaic Period, 4500 to 3000 BC, when the area was inhabited by larger groups with a more sedentary lifestyle. These occupants left archaeological evidence containing many artifacts and burials. The area also saw heavy use during the Middle and Late Woodland periods, 200 BC to AD 900. The peoples of those times increasingly focused on the collection and storage of plant foods and began to domesticate some native plants. The final prehistoric inhabitants were Mississippian Period Indians (AD 900 to 1400) who lived and scattered farmsteads and cultivated corn and squash.

Demographics

As of the census of 2000, there were 1,886 people, 798 households, and 501 families residing in the village. The population density was 1,522.9 people per square mile (587.2/km²). There were 942 housing units at an average density of 760.6/sq mi (293.3/km²). The racial makeup of the village was 84.84% White, 12.94% African American, 0.32% Native American, 0.16% Asian, 0.48% from other races, and 1.27% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 0.90% of the population.

Plot

Act I

1940: Against the backdrop of World War II appears a montage of the Walkers’ meeting, courtship, marriage, Captain Walker’s departure for the front and capture, and his internment in a POW camp (”Overture”). Back in London, two officers arrive at 22 Heathfield Gardens to bring Mrs. Walker tragic news (”Captain Walker”).

1941: A nurse gently hands Mrs. Walker her newborn son (”It’s a Boy”).

1945: Captain Walker is freed and heads home, arriving as Mrs. Walker is celebrating her birthday with her lover and four-year-old son (”Twenty-One”). Looking in a mirror, Tommy sees the furious Captain Walker shoot and kill the lover. The Walkers realize what Tommy has witnessed (”What About the Boy”) and the police arrive to investigate while Tommy just stares at his own reflection. The narrator - Tommy’s older self - appears, visible only to Tommy (”Amazing Journey”).

Courtroom: Captain Walker is found not guilty, but the family celebration dies out as they realize Tommy is now deaf, dumb, and blind. Hospital: A battery of doctors and nurses examine Tommy (”Sparks”).

1950: The Walkers take ten-year-old Tommy to church and to a family dinner (”Christmas”) where he responds to Uncle Ernie’s playing the French Horn and the older Tommy’s unseen presence (”See Me, Feel Me”). Back home, the Walkers worry about whether to leave Tommy with the drunken Uncle Ernie (”Do You Think It’s Alright”), while once alone with Tommy, Ernie molests him (”Fiddle About”). Tommy’s next babysitter, Cousin Kevin, taunts him mercilessly (”Cousin Kevin”) and then takes him to the youth club where, to everyone’s astonishment, Tommy plays pinball brilliantly (”Sensation”). Encouraged, the Walkers try yet another doctor, a psychiatrist, who tests Tommy without success (”Sparks (Reprise)”). A desperate Mr. Walker is approached by The Hawker and Harmonica Player (”Eyesight to the Blind”) who promise a miraculous cure for Tommy. They take father and son to the Isle of Dogs to find a prostitute called The Gypsy (”Acid Queen”) although Mr. Walker ends by snatching the boy back in horror. The act ends in 1958 as a group of teenagers await 17-year-old Tommy’s appearance at the amusement arcade (”Pinball Wizard”).

Act II

1960: Tommy has become the pinball champion and hero of the neighborhood lads. (”Underture”). Mr. Walker, still in search of a cure, convinces Mrs. Walker to try once more (”There’s a Doctor”). They take Tommy to specialists (”Go To the Mirror / Listening to You”) for elaborate tests, to no avail. On the street a group of local louts surround Tommy (”Tommy, Can You Hear Me?”) and carry him home. The Walkers, at their wit’s end and considering having Tommy institutionalized, compassionately confront one another (”I Believe My Own Eyes”). Tommy stares into the mirror as Mrs. Walker tries desperately to reach him (”Smash the Mirror”). With the mirror in pieces, Tommy becomes conscious (I’m Free) and leaves home, while his cure hits the news (”Miracle Cure”).

1961-1963: Tommy is lionized by the public and the press (”Pinball Wizard (Reprise)”) and begins appearing in stadiums, where Uncle Ernie tries to capitalize on his stardom (”Tommy’s Holiday Camp”). Teenage Sally Simpson manages to get on stage and touch Tommy but, when he pushes her aside, she falls and is pummeled by the guards (”Sally Simpson”). Aghast, Tommy realizes how caught up in the celebrity machine he has become. He tends to her and invites everyone back to his house (”Welcome”). Once there, Sally asks Tommy how she can be more like him (”Sally Simpson’s Question”). He insists there is no reason to be like him; who she is, is enough.

Disenchanted with their hero for failing to provide instant salvation, the crowd turns on him and leaves (”We’re Not Going to Take It”). Tommy hears the voice of his ten-year-old self (”See Me, Feel Me”) and for a moment seems to be reverting to his old state, but instead he turns to his family and embraces them in acceptance and reunion with his younger selves (”Listening to You”).

Malichus II ( Arabic : مالك , Malik ) ruled Nabatea from 40 to 70.

During his reign, Nabataean power decreased. The Romans had diverted the routes of spice and perfume cargo shipments to Egypt. Rome was very powerful, so Malichus cooperated. In 66, a Jewish revolt occurred in Iudaea. Malichus sent 5,000 cavalry and 1,000 infantry to help Titus crush the rebellion.

Under Malichus II, Nabatea lost control of Damascus.
