 From Those Were The Days

2/22

1954   ABC radio's popular Breakfast Club, program with longtime host,
Don McNeill, was simulcast on TV beginning this day. The telecast of the
show was a bomb, but the radio program went on as one of the longest
running programs on the air.

2/23

1927   [removed] President Calvin Coolidge signed a bill into law that
created the Federal Radio Commission, "to bring order out of this
terrible chaos." The president was speaking, of course, of the nation's
then unregulated radio stations. The commission assigned frequencies,
hours of operation and power allocations for radio broadcasters across
the [removed] The name was changed to the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) on July 1, 1934.

2/24

1942     It was an historic day in radio broadcasting, as the Voice of
America (VOA) signed on for the first time on this day.

Dear Step:

I'm sure most people here can tell you that the "episode" you listened to was
actually a "blooper" rehearsal broadcast where maybe a cue was missed and then
everybody started having fun. That's the only GUNSMOKE show I've ever heard
that is a "blooper" rehearsal. It would be fun to hear more. I've heard a few
LUX RADIO THEATER broadcasts that were actually rehearsal broadcasts that
someone had recorded and saved. Sometimes those are all that exist and the
actually broadcast is lost!

I haven't been visiting here for awhile, and for that I apologize. But ... in
between finishing up the CHANDU book (at last!) and trying to be a good
"daddy" to our son (who's going to be 2 in April), I've REALLY been busy! Hey,
can anyone give me an overview of radio actress Celeste Rush's career? She's
one of the performers on CHANDU in the '30s that I can very little about. In
an article for RADIO DIGEST magazine, it is claimed that she did voice work as
"Minnie Mouse" for the Walt Disney cartoons. If she ever did, I can't find any
documentation of this anywhere! I also have a cast photo of the actors and
actresses who were in CHANDU THE MAGICIAN from 1933. I've been able to
identify most of the people in the photo - and Raymond Morgan, Jr. (whose dad
produced the show in the early '30s) confirms these - but there are two
actresses I can't identify. If I knew that one of them was Celeste Rush, I
could then identify the other, who apparently played a character named
"Natcha" and her name is written on the photo's border as "Margaret Rolling."
Anybody here know of anybody who can identify a lot of 1930s-era radio actors?

Can anyone help?

 I've just written the pilot for a TV series set in the world of radio in
the early 1940s.  In order to convince the networks that there would be a
large enough audience for this series, I'm looking for statistics on how
popular OTR is today.  Do you know how many people attend the Friends of Old
Time
Radio Convention in Newark (or any other conventions)?

 Also, do you know where I could find information on how many Americans
currently listen to OTR, how many radio stations and websites are dedicated to
OTR, or how many OTR recordings are sold each year?  Any stats that indicate
a big interest in OTR would be useful.

 Any help you can provide in steering me in the right direction would be
greatly appreciated.

 Cheers,

 Keith Davidson    <keith@[removed];

For those not familiar with Jim Harmon's "The Great Radio Heroes" published in
1967, here's the description from the back cover of the pocket book version:

Remember radio?

"Remember the glorious days of those marvelous radio hours, when the most
exciting people in the most glamorous places, having the greatest adventures
flew across the either to Stromberg-Carlson consoles and homemade crystal sets
right into our very homes!

Here they arethe righteous Lone Ranger, the fair-minded Jack Armstrong,
straight-shooting Tom Mix, the martyred Stella Dallas, the kindly old Mr.
Keane, the mysterious Shadow, the buzzing Green Hornet, the frigid Sergeant
Preston, the over-heated Fat Man, the meddling Ma Perkins, the analytic
Sherlock Holmes, the high-flying Captain Midnight, the incredibly typical Vic
and Sade, the fearless Gangbusters, irresistible Superman, the world's oldest
35-year old Helen Trent, the cool Sam Spade, the indestructible Little Orphan
Annie, and all the others."

Thanks Jim for your entertaining book about our Radio Days! I particularly
enjoyed the "Jack, Doc, And Reggie" Chapter. "The Great Radio Heros" is my OTR
Bible, ever since I found a copy on [removed] about 10 years ago.

For the best in OTR Chat, join IRC (Internet Relay Chat), StarLink-IRC
Network, the channel name is #OldRadio.  We meet Thursdays at 8 PM Eastern

real-time OTR talk!

Our "regulars" include OTR actors, soundmen, collectors, listeners, and
others interested in enjoying OTR from points all over the world. Discussions
range from favorite shows to almost anything else under the sun (sometimes
it's hard for us to stay on-topic)...but even if it isn't always focused,
it's always a good time!

For more info, contact charlie@[removed]. We hope to see you there, this
week and every week!
