By strange coincidence, that very machine model was the subject of a thread here just a couple of weeks ago.

The actor and actress in the pics look vaguely familiar, but I can’t quite place them ... 1954 predates me by a few years. What was the show?

The lady looks like Gracie Allen from George Burns and Gracie Allen Show. The man resembles one of their supporting actors of the day Larry Keating.
