Tom, although I am 28 (soon to be 29) years your senior I realize when where
you are coming from. When I first began collecting big band music rock and
roll was king. And when I first started looking around for old radio
broadcasts, rock and roll had taken over radio too. I went for several years
thinking that I might be the world's only "golden age" radio program
collector!

     But if you look around at OTR conventions you'll likely discover that
you're by no means the oldest person there. You'll see some attendees not
much older than you were when you first discovered OTR. (The youngest person
buying programs at the this year's Cincinnati OTR Convention was an
ELEVEN-year-old girl.)

     And the "Modern Audio Dramas" which have been mushrooming all over the
Net aren't intended for the elderly. I think it's almost entirely the other
way 'round.

     Sincerely,

     George Wagner

When VHS tape had hi-fi tracks, many people thought of using this
medium for recording radio shows, since it would be of a higher
recording format than a standard audio cassette or even reel to reel tape.

I used this format to do some audio recordings of vocal groups I was
recording. However, soon after that format came into being, the DAT
format came about followed by the mini disc and I'm guessing that
using the HI-FI tracks on a VHS tape just went by the way side.

Personally, I never stored any radio shows on VHS tape. In theory,
you could record at the slow speed, record on the HI-FI track and get
at least 6 hours of material on a single tape. Today, you can do the
same thing on a DVD which takes up a lot less storage space.

Hello again --

In yesterday's OTR Digest, #218, Ronald Sayles writes:

"Years ago as video tape became popular there was talk

I can vouch for the permanence of this VCR method of preserving OTR; around
1985 I purchased a Yamaha YV-1000 VCR for nearly a thousand dollars (!!!)
and in addition to its fixed-level recording inputs, it had a "hi-fi" option
that gave nearly CD quality; in fact, some of my music engineering students
at Northern Illinois University at the time came to my house to transfer and
preserve the quality of some of their DAT (digital audio tape) recordings
before those tapes were erased for others to use in class. Despite VCRs
being replaced by TVo and home CD-DVD recording formats, I have to say this
unit of mine is still state of the art, with many bells and whistles no
longer found on the currently available el cheapo VCRs. . . including
separate audio only stereo and mike inputs, 24/14 programming, and the
option of variable-level recording. I used the machine primarily to record a
certain four-hour Saturday-afternoon OTR program from Chicago and then
transfer its contents to cassettes I could play in my car radio. But I did
preserve some two-hour Prairie Home Companion and NPR interview programs
from around 1985 and they still have excellent sound.
Of course, the primary reason I found this format unsuitable for the
recording of OTR was the difficulty of finding a half-hour program in a tape
that ran anywhere from two to six hours; for despite the high-end quality of
my Yamaha VCR, its indexing feature, like most if not all of the VCRs twenty
years ago, displayed only whole numbers and not minutes and seconds, making
it extremely difficult to pinpoint where a new program began. I also was
unable to carry the VCR in my car, where I did most of my OTR listening! But
in the middle eighties it was certainly, IMHO, the best possible medium for
archiving.

Subject:  Video Tape & OTR

Ron Sayles asks if video tape can record OTR shows . YES! I have done it.

In the early 90's my Reel to Reel recorder gave it and went to the junk
pile. I was recording  Chuck Schaden's  "Those Were the Days a 4  hour
FM program on Saturday afternoon. I didn't want to spend the money to
buy a new one. A friend told me use your VCR it records sound of TV
show. It's a matter of patch cords. Output from my radio tuner to the
input of the VCR. I could the play the VCR back through TV and using
patch cords to my Cassette player record what I wanted. If I wanted to
store OTR on a VCR cassette it was simple connect a cassette player to
the VCR and record. The quality was very good .What  really liked was I
could set the VCR timer to start @  1:00PM and to turn off @ 5:00 PM. I
forgot to mention that the VCR was set on an unused Channel.

Subject:  RE: When Bill Johnstone started as The Shadow

Rick Keating wrote:

When did Bill Johnstone start as the Shadow?...  I thought Orson Welles had
stopped portraying the Shadow      > _after_ the Oct. 30, 1938 _Mercury
Theatre_ "War of the Worlds" [removed] The makers of _The Shadow_
didn't want an actor to be associated with their star character. Is that
incorrect? Did Orson Welles actually leave> the role of the Shadow _before_
"War of the Worlds" made him a household name?

I'm sure there'll be plenty of answers to this query. In a nutshell, this is
one of the standard OTR "urban legends" that has been, in a manner of
speaking, repeatedly repeated over the years: namely, that Welles had to
leave THE SHADOW because he became famous/infamous from the "War of the
Worlds" broadcast.

The truth is: he was already gone from the show before the 1938-39 season
began. He did the 1937-38 Blue Coal season and the Spring-Summer 1938
Goodrich transcription series. But when he finished up the Goodrich recording
sessions in mid-summer, that was the end of his involvement with the show.

I think it would be accurate to say that by the summer of 1938 Welles no
longer needed THE SHADOW. The combination of his fame from that show plus the
success of his 1937-38 Mercury Theatre season on Broadway had brought him
exactly what he had wanted: his very own radio series where he wasn't just
the lead actor, he was producer-director also. Once he started doing THE
MERCURY THEATRE ON THE AIR, he gave up all his other radio gigs: not just THE
SHADOW but shows like THE MARCH OF TIME which he had been appearing in
regularly since 1935.

Oh, and addressing the other issue Rick mentioned: while Blue Coal/Ruthrauf
liked the mystery angle on who or what was the voice of The Shadow, the fact
that Welles was playing the part was NOT a well-kept secret. Broadway
columnists were fond of leaking little flashes such as "Did you know that
mysterious character The Shadow is played by Orson Welles, the Wonder Boy of
the Great White Way?" Also, the very last Blue Coal show of the season ("The
White Legion") introduced both Welles and Agnes Moorehead as themselves to
the listening audience. So the "secret" was completely out in the open in
March of '38.

It was reported in the trade and fan journals in the autumn of 1938 that Bill
Johnstone had been chosen as Welles' replacement from a group of over 50
actors auditioning for the part. His first appearance as Cranston/Shadow came
with the season opener, "Traffic in Death," on September 25.

Mike Ogden

PS. It might be noted also that Welles had decided not to continue with THE
SHADOW even before CBS offered him the initial Mercury Theatre summer
program. In the spring of '38 it was variously announced that he would do a
Sherlock Holmes series in the fall, or that he would do a Mercury Theatre
variety series for Mutual.

Subject:  Supe eats soup?

Ron Sayles asks,

Did Kal-El alias Clark Kent alias Superman have to eat?

I recall a series of Superman episodes from the late 40s which, as I
recall, involved Batman saving him when the bad guys tried to starve Supe.
Supe, in his narrative, admits this is the only way he can be killed. I
thought it was a pretty neat idea, because I'd never thought of that angle
before. Up until then, I thought only Kryptonite could take the Man of
Steel down.

I certainly support Derek's suggestion. Some years ago I had a brief

admirers.

If you or anyone else has the time and energy to pursue this, Derek, you
might write to Cronkite (c/o CBS?)and ask for his support.

Well, I can probably tell you how it was done. Instead connecting the output
of the studio to an audio tape recorder, it was connected to a videotape
recorder. I guess a black vision signal would have been recorded, or the
recording head disconnected so that no picture signal was recorded at all.
On playback, it wouldn't matter what was on the picture track as only the
sound would have been broadcast.

I think this is all correct
