Jim Widner noted in Digest #43:
After the Allied Forces invaded Europe on D-Day, Rabbi Sidney Lefkowitz,
who came in through Omaha Beach, performed the first Jewish Service in
liberated Germany on September 16th, 1944. Then on October 29th, 1944,
he performed a Jewish Service on the site of a former synagogue that had
been burned to the ground. The service was broadcast via NBC and does
appear to exist.
Jim is correct about the 10-29-1944 NBC broadcast. I have it on a glass
transcription. I think it's on the back side of a musical program. I'll uproot
it from its safe location and donate a digital copy of it to SPERDVAC's
library.

Lawrence Albert asks:
and I'm asking anyone on the digest if
they can supply me with information about U. S. produced Hound radio shows
both OTR and NTR. Any and all help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Larry Albert
Edith Meiser actually wrote a six part (half hour a week) Hound of The
Baskervilles in the early 1940s. It starred Basil Rathbone and NIgel Bruce.
So far only a fifteen minute segment has surfaced.
During the war, Soupy Sales was in the navy and he had the job of playing
AFRS transcriptions of radio shows broadcast to the men on board ship.
It's been said that, after the war, Soupy took some of the discs home, and
The Hound is one show he has.
No verification on this one.
But it's an interesting story if true.

X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: Alternative section used was text/plain
Hello All,
I've never posted here before, so hope this is the right place ... I am
looking for any information about a great-uncle of mine, John Monroe Savage
(aka
Jack, Uncle Jack Savage) who organized bands and did broadcasting in the
1930s-40s. His brother (my grandfather), Dick Savage owned the Georgie
Porgie
Cereal Co. in Council Bluffs, IA, and my dad - Fred Savage - portrayed
"Little
Georgie Porgie, the Singing Cowboy" on the radio shows they produced, first
from their kitchen, and later from a studio. They travelled around, mostly
the midwest states, hosting barnstorming shows, my grandfather had a Stinson
airplane, the Georgie Porgie Redbird, and he would find "hillbilly" singers
in
remote areas, and put together musical groups to play behind my dad, who sang
on the local radio stations. He even made a few recordings at Paramount
Records in Wisconsin, with Doc Hopkins, the guitarist.
Anyway, Uncle Jack worked in Columbus, OH, then went on to Radio Luxembourg
for a couple of years, before returning before the war broke out. He went to
southern CA, but I can't find out what happened to him or where he worked.
Sorry this is so long, but does anyone remember ever hearing of him? Thanks
a million!

Kevin Bristol <citadel92@[removed]; wrote:
It is believed that tinfoil balls in the wheel covers (not the hub caps)
can confuse police radar.
This was actually proven to be false on Mythbusters.
I suspect this originated with pilots releasing masses of tin foil
confetti at strategic moments during WW II to confuse enemy radar. I
gather that this actually DID work, at least to some degree.

In answer to the previous question, regarding what Archie's last name is on
DUFFY'S TAVERN . . .
I have read about 300 scripts from various archives in Los Angeles to
Maryland and Ohio. I have yet to come across any that brought up his last
name. I believe he was referred to simply as "Archie." Even the few where
he applied for a marriage license never brought up the matter of his last
name. Not to say it wasn't mentioned on the series, but of all the episodes
I recall listening to and reading, it was never mentioned. It's possible he
never had a last name or it was NEVER given on the series.

early on in the Rathbone-Bruce radio series on nbc I think. One part
cant be found on mp3 from otrtoday. That part concerns Watson and Sir
Henry going out on the moor to investigate the mysterious lights. By

And he made an interesting appearance on a Jack Benny special in
1959. Jack explained that Rochester was sick and couldn't be on the
show, but they had a replacement. From off-camera, you hear "Mr.
Benny!" in a voice that sounds remarkably like Rochester -- and it
turns out to be Andy Devine. And he appeared as Jack's butler, Andy,
for the rest of the show.
We discussed this before here on the digest and I am very glad you brought
this up. Eddie "Rochester" Anderson apparently had a heart attack (or
something
similar) during rehearsals and Andy was a last minute fill-in. There was a
Life magazine photographer there at the time, and he got a picture of
Rochester
being loaded into the ambulance (smiling, to reassure everyone apparently)
and Jack looking rather distraught as he sat in front of the orchestra. Both
made the next issue and I got it from Ebay not long ago.
