Beer In Ads #2550: Our Beer Is Rheingold Says Tony & Sally DeMarco

February 13, 2018 By Jay Brooks


Tuesday’s ad is for Rheingold, from 1946. In the late 1940s and 1950s, Rheingold recruited a number of prominent celebrities to do ads for them, all using the tagline: “My beer is Rheingold — the Dry beer!” In this ad, American burlesque/vaudeville dancer in the first half of the 20th century who performed with his wife as “The Dancing De Marcos” Tony and Sally DeMarco, talks about how he and his wife, the Dancing DeMarcos, spend hours and hours working on their dancing, but still out dancing during their leisure time, although then they also drink Rheingold Extra Dry.
