abstract	Mr. B Natural is the title and main character (played by Betty Luster) of a short film produced in 1957 by the C.G. Conn Company, and directed by Phil Patton to advertise Conn's line of musical instruments. The film begins with a fantasy sequence emphasizing the fun of school bands and musical instrument playing, and how they contribute to a child's "future personality". The titular character is an androgynous figure who convinces an adolescent boy named Buzz Turner (Bruce Podewell) to take up playing the trumpet when s/he magically appears in his room one day. The actress strongly resembles Mary Martin and the casting was probably inspired by Martin's Peter Pan. In the film, Buzz finds through the gift of music and the help of his mysterious friend the confidence and assertiveness he needs to try out for the school band, make friends, and play solos at concerts and at the big school dance. This feature is typical of many short films of that era that portrayed a stereotypical view of life among teenagers and the white middle class in the 1950s.
