    ADMINISTRIVIA:

   As you may have noticed, I broke the OTR Digest while at the
   Friends of Old-Time Radio Convention last week. No mail was lost,
   and I'm cleaning things up as I type this. Things should be back
   to normal, whatever the heck that means, shortly.
   
   This means I have not yet had the chance to post pics from the
   convention, although I DID take the time to post a short clip from
   Saturday's Dave Warren Players' presentation of Blondie. For those
   who weren't there, my daughter Katie made her acting debut in this
   production. The posting has little to do with OTR, and lots to do
   with a parent's pride. Hit [removed] to view.  --cfs3

 From Those Were The Days

10/24

1929   The Rudy Vallee Show was broadcast for the first time on NBC.
Actually, the Rudy Vallee show had several different titles over the
years, all of which were referred to by the public as The Rudy Vallee
Show.  Megaphone totin' Rudy and his Connecticut Yankees band were
mainstays on radio into the late 1940s.

10/25

1937   Stella Dallas made her debut on the NBC Red network. Stella hung
out on NBC until 1955 with Anne Elstner in the title role for the entire
run.  Stella Dallas was "A continuation on the air of the true life
story of  mother love and sacrifice, in which Stella saw her own beloved
daughter,  Laurel, marry into wealth and society, and realizing the
difference in their tastes and worlds, went out of Laurel's life."

10/26

1935   A talented twelve year old sang on Wallace Beery's NBC show. Judy
Garland delighted the appreciative audience. The young girl would soon
be in pictures and at the top of stardom. It would be only four years
before Ms. Garland (George Jessel gave her the name, thinking it would
be better than her own, Frances Gumm) captured the hearts of moviegoers
everywhere with her performance as Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz.

10/27

Marconi, Fessenden, and De Forest were the catalysts. However, it was an
engineer for Westinghouse Electric who, in 1916, was broadcasting music
from his garage (in Wilkinsburg, PA, a suburb of Pittsburgh) over a
wireless (amateur radio station 8XK) who really got the whole thing
started. A newspaper article about the broadcasts caused such interest
that the head honchos at Westinghouse decided to build a real radio station.

It took until this day in 1920 for the Westinghouse radio station to
receive a license to broadcast. The license for KDKA, Pittsburgh came
from the [removed] Department of Commerce. Although the license was
officially issued on this day, KDKA did not start their broadcast
operations for a week (they had to wait until the license was posted in
the station). On November 2, 1920, the station aired the returns of the
Harding/Cox election ... the first radio programming to reach an
audience of any size ... approximately 1,000 people.

1947   This is Nora Drake premiered on NBC. Nora solved domestic, social
and child raising problems until January 2, 1959.

1947   "The one, the only Groucho" Marx appeared as quizmaster on You
Bet Your Life for the first time    on ABC. George Fenneman was
Groucho's eternal straight man. Fenneman stayed with Marx during the
program's run on radio (1948   1959) and TV (1950   1961). By the way,
who is buried in Grant=s tomb?

10/28

1922   WEAF in New York broadcast the first collegiate football game
heard coast to coast. Princeton played the University of Chicago at
Stagg Field in the Windy City. The broadcast was carried on phone lines
to New York City, where the radio transmission began. (Princeton 21,
Chicago 18.)

1946   Our favorite flying cowboy was heard on ABC for the first time.
Sky King starred Jack Lester, then Earl Nightingale, and finally, Roy
Engel, as Sky. Beryl Vaughn played Sky's niece Penny; Jack Bivens was
Chipper and Cliff Soubier was the foreman. Sky King was sponsored by
Mars candy.

10/30

Orson Welles, known to radio audiences as The Shadow, presented his
famous dramatization of [removed] Wells' The War of the Worlds on CBS's
Mercury Theater at 8 [removed]

Subject:  "The Witch's Tale" in 1939

Did the series "The Witch's Tale" enjoy a brief revival in 1939? The reason I
ask is that, while browsing through Los Angeles area newspaper radio pages
for something else, I noticed a listing for a series titled "Witches Tales"
on KFI, Wednesday nights at 10:15. The show apparently ran on that station
from February 22 through April 26. Just curious if this "Witches Tales" was
the Alonzo Deen Cole "Witch's Tale" or if it was a different series.

Subject:  Pulp Adventurecon

For those who like Nick Carter, Doc Savage, The Shadow, The Saint and other
fictional characters who made the transition to radio, PULP ADVENTURECON is
taking place at the Ramada Inn of Bordentown NJ on Saturday, November 6th.
The show runs from 10am-5pm, admission is $[removed]

Like the old time radio conventions, the dealer room is filled with tables of
treasures -- only for this show, the merchandise assumes a pulp-oriented
slant. The tables have boxes and stacks of pulp magazines along with vintage
magazines, paperbacks, Big Little Books (I've been collecting the LONE RANGER
Big Little Books myself), movie memorabilia and much more! Last year I bought
two copies of THE ADVENTURES OF JIMMIE DALE, original first editions, for two
bucks a piece. This was the book that George W. Trendle approached Fran
Striker and proposed a similar character and how THE GREEN HORNET was born. I
know some can say "I can download the JIMMIE DALE novel for free off the web"
but why when you can pay two bucks and have a book you can take to the beach
or read in a car instead of reading it from your computer?

If your interests lean toward The Lone Ranger, Tarzan, Zorro, or Dashiell
Hammett, you'll find something to whet your appetite at this show. As I
modestly tell everyone who will listen (and a few who refuse to listen), you
won't find more pulp magazines at any show in New Jersey.

Check out the website [removed] or the "Pulp Adventurecon"
facebook page.

If you're thinking of traveling from the Manhattan area and don't have a car,
you can always take NJ Transit to Trenton, then it's a short hop on the
Riverline light rail to Bordentown City.  Call the Ramada at (609) 298-3200
or call Rich Harvey's cell phone at (609) 346-4184.  There are people who
will gladly volunteer to give rides back and forth to and from the light rail
station.

Hope to see you there!

Greetings, afficionados!

After a long period of hibernation I am finally emerging to be part of the
list again. My first query on the road back to OTR chat is this: has anyone
seen the film ME & ORSON WELLES? I would like some opinions as to its fidelity
to OTR because in the book there are several sequences detailing some moments
in Welles' radio work, including a FIRST NIGHTER segment. Does the film give
his radio work fair treatment or is it just a sideways glance (as usual)? I
read the book last summer and really enjoyed it, but I wanted to hear from a
few different, learned quarters before renting the movie as money is tight and
I am watching ALL of my dimes these days :-)

I look forward to hearing from all or any of you soon.

Great to be back,
Randy Story

Subject:  Rochester

I just heard something that never registered with me before.  At the opening
of Jack Benny's shows Don Wilson always says:  "It's the Jack Benny program
with Mary Livingston, Dennis Day, Phil Harris, Rochester and me, Don
Wilson."  Or words to that effect.

My question is: Why is Eddie Anderson listed as Rochester, his character's
name, rather than Eddie Anderson, the actor's name.  I realize all the other
people appear under their own name, but it seems odd that Anderson is
slighted like that.
