They were Fred and Fae Taylor. It was one of my two favorite shows when I was a kid in Denver. The other one was Lunchtime Little Theatre on Channel 2.

Fred and Fae Taylor were kids from Altoona, Pennsylvania who got married on Thanksgiving Day, 1945.
They found out you could make a living in vaudeville pantomiming records. They played the famed Palace Theater in New York twice, did Grossingers and the Ed Sullivan Show. Leaving a gig in North Dakota, they were looking for a place to park their trailer. That place was Denver. Local TV history was made on December 19, 1953 when the "Soda Shop" began on KFEL-TV, Channel 2. In 1955 Fred and Fae moved to Channel 9 with the "Club House Gang". In 1957 the move was to Channel 7 for "Fred 'n Fae". An estimated 55,000 kids got to be on TV with Fred 'n Fae during their 15 years on TV. Fred and Fae went out on top in December 1967. Fred died far too early. Fae was able to join the Inductees into the Hall of Fame in 2001 and accept the award for Fred and Fae. She passed away a short time after her induction into the Hall of Fame.
