Topo Gigio, which is best translated as Little Louis ( or Luigi) Mouse. do not confuse with Topolino , ;lit, Little Mouse- in commercial realilty- the Mickey Mouse character of Disney fame and origin. In Italy, He is called Topolino ( always capitalized). The Topo Gigio character was animated by a team of four Italian puppeteers. Much was done with dark velvet screens to shield movement. There may have been other puppets and puppet like acts ( The talking box of Senor Wences) but Topo Gigio was the big one. Sullivan had a variety of acts as warm-ups which were essentialy carnival, circus, or Vaudeville survivals- that no other show used on TV. ( they were used in circus and carnival stunts and acts) essentially Sullivan, though he never used the word, was Televised Vaudeville.
