Hi all,

Anyone happen to know where I can find discounted Radio Spirit sets in the
Los Angeles area? They usually have them at Costco this time of year, but I
haven't seen any on recent visits.
Thanks in advance.
Greg

Subject:  Paul Temple in Space

I am about to go on holiday again (this time I am going to Malaysia and
Australia) and I am preparing which shows I am going to take with me.  Last
trip I took a number of South African versions of "The Avengers" which were
just great.  This time I am planning on taking a number of "Paul Temple"
shows as well as "Tom Corbett Space Cadet."
Does anybody know of any good websites related to Paul Temple?  In
particular I am looking for an episode log.  Also a while ago somebody
mentioned a very good website dealing with Tom Corbett, however, I lost the
site from my favorites after I got my hard drive reformatted. So if anyone
can help [removed]
Now then where did I put my suntan [removed]

Love as always, David Rogers

Regarding "The Halls of Ivy," Keith Houdeshell asked:

Don Quinn the writer, did he have any connection with the TV production
team of Quinn-Martin?

Actually, "Quinn-Martin" wasn't a team.  Quinn Martin was one producer.

A recent posting by RBB noted the death of longtime Washington, DC,
radio personality Eddie Gallagher and mentioned in passing Ed Walker
as Willard Scott's partner in The Joy Boys.

Ed Walker now hosts The Big Broadcast, a weekly four-hour block of OTR
programming on NPR affiliate WAMU [removed] FM in Washington.

For those not in the DC area Sunday evenings between 7:00 and 11:00
[removed], you can listen to the most recent program online at

8:00 [removed], but otherwise the selection varies.

I live in Oklahoma. Here in Oklahoma near the OKC area Old Time Radio was
discontinued years ago.

If you can pick up KRLD (1080 - 50KW) out of the North Dallas area, they
broadcast "When Radio Was" on Sundays from 10:00pm  to 12:00 pm

Subject:  Halitosis on stage

Herb Harrison asked of cases where two performers worked opposite each
other at the same mike, one being a carrier of halitosis, and wondered
how they handled this.

Perhaps the most famous example (certainly that I have heard) was the
wonderful romantic film and broadcast couple of Jeanette MacDonald and
Nelson Eddy.  Many people were and still are convinced that they were
married.  Not.  She was married to actor Gene Raymond, best known
perhaps on radio for being "John J. Malone" on "Murder and Mr. Malone",
Saturdays on ABC in the 1940s.  Raymond had succeeded Frank Lovejoy, the
original Malone, "fiction's most famous criminal lawyer".  Raymond was
himself succeeded by George Petrie.  The show had its own murder
mystery, in a way:  why did it kill off its name with four name changes
over the years?

BTW, Mr. and Mrs. Raymond appeared with Art Carney in an absolutely
wonderful early live television version of "Charley's Aunt".  Friend Ray
Erlenborn recalls doing the sound effects, especially the infatuated
bullfrog in a small pond built on a patio set.  Art Carney left us with
a wonderful legacy, but wish that there were more!

[removed], to remind us of "All the news from Hhhhollllllywood" from
Lollywood, the scuttlebutt was that Nelson Eddy had a terrible case of
halitosis.  I suspect that understanding directors who had both stars
appearing on their programs, or in voice-sync movie studio work, were
quick to assure Miss MacDonald and Mr. Eddy that each such major star
merited his or her own, personal microphone.  Perhaps that same director
assigned some announcer a bottle of Listerine to eddy over the Eddy
mcirophone after each show was fini.   But of course Ms. MacDonald still
had to endure those closeup film shots!  ;How, we'll probably never know.

I'm sure there were other performers with similar problems.  Then there
was the even worse difficulty shared in by audiences at any stage show
featuring Bert Lahr, who frequently sprayed the first few rows.

Move away from the footlights!

Best wishes to all for wonderful holidays!

I know there has been some controversies about the first name John for
the Lone Ranger but don't remember how it was resolved.

Oh, PLEEEZ don't get us started on that one again!

 From Those Were The Days --

1932 - "Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. North and South America and all the
ships at sea. Let's go to press!" The Jergens Journal aka The Walter
Winchell Show and later, Kaiser-Frazer News was first heard on the NBC
Blue network. Winchell kept that gossip show going on the radio for 23
years. It was sponsored at first by Jergens lotion and, later, by Dryad
deodorant, Kaiser-Frazer cars and Richard Hudnut shampoo.

1933 - One of America's great radio shows made the leap to the big time.
Ma Perkins moved from WLW in Cincinnati, OH to the NBC-Red network. The
show proved to be so popular that it was later carried on both CBS and NBC.

Subject:  CBS Radio Mystery Theater Project

Three years ago a buddy and myself started re-ripping and restoring our
collection of shows from reel to reel that we taped when it was
broadcast.  Unfortunately we had the insight to only capture the news on
half of our collection.  We have had two other collectors join us, one in
which has over 700 shows all with the news. Most of those broadcasts run 70
minutes or longer and contain the news before and after the show.  We are
finishing up ripping the third collection but still have a lot of restoring
to complete.  Since we have several broadcasts of each show I am able to
fix dropouts making the shows complete.  We do speed correction, noise
reduction and of course equalize the sound.

Our goal is the restore shows from around the country from different
stations. We are looking for other collectors to join us as we would like
to rip and restore your collection.  I am only looking for original shows
complete with the news broadcasts and preferably on reel to
reel.  Cassettes are considered only if they are original.

You can hear a sample of what we are looking for by going here.
[removed] This is The Breaking
Point. I put it up at only 8 bits to conserve space and also to keep if
from being exploited and sold. Take in consideration this is not the
quality we have. This show was missing part of the opening and had several
dropouts in the program along with a five minute segment that the volume
went practically to nothing.

Please contact me privately if you are interested it will be worth your while.

Thanks,
Jack Harris
