Subject: actresses, actors & accents
Stewart Wright offered some fine comments about Jeannette Nolan and
Virginia Gregg--thanks for telling me who played Hattie Pelfrey and
Mamie! Much to my sorrow many of my OTR tapes do not list the cast of
each show--a grievous lack! I am fairly new to OTR but have already
begun to recognize special favorites: Lawrence Dobkin, Vic Perrin,
and, of course, Harry Bartell who has a distinctive "brightness" to his
voice. I was tickled to hear his soft "Texas" accent as Johnny
Stringer (Six Shooter) and (I think) Randy Culver on a Straight Arrow
[removed] charming drawl in contrast to Lt. Seiberts on Fort
Laramie.
Some logs list the actors, some don't--ought to be required that the
cast be announced! Elizabeth

I forgot to mention in my comments on actors and accents: I was
thunderstruck when I finally decided that it was William Conrad playing
Red Eye Kirk on a Six Shooter episode--complete with roaring hillbilly
twang. AND he played Dave the Dude with an "in your face" New York
(New Jersey?) snarl on the Damon Runyon Theatre! I couldn't believe it!
Mr. Bartell, what accents are your favorites to do?

Subject: Larry Keating
Joseph Ross mentions the character played by Larry Keating on television's
version of BURNS AND ALLEN (1953-1958). Keating also had an extensive radio
career as host, announcer, and actor on many, many shows. He was famous too
for his appearances on television's MR. ED.
When I read THE FAMOUS MR. ED [Warner Books, 1991] by Nancy Nalven, I
gained tremendous respect for the actor. All cast members of MR. ED loved
Keating (who played Alan Young's neighbor). Nalven writes, "Early in 1963,
Larry learned that he was terminally ill with leukemia. For the last six
months of his life, he continued to play Roger Addison. He died on August
26, 1963, at the age of sixty-four. The last episode Keating appeared in
was #80, 'Patter of Little Hooves.' Alan Young remembers that during the
shooting of 'Leo Durocher Meets Mister Ed' (#81), Keating was fooling
around on the base paths at Dodger Stadium, where much of the show was
filmed. He asked Alan Young to assist him getting up, and reported gravely
to his friend, 'This is the last time you'll pick me up.' Larry did not
appear in this episode, and he died just six days later." (p. 92)
I felt this anecdote gives added dimension to an actor who often played
pompous roles.

Subject: Bea and Suspence
Bea did play Blanc on the radio but I don't know how long she was with
the radio cast. Mrs. Bernadette was a woman of many talents. She was also the
first person to give voice to Betty Rubble on the Flintstones. And she almost
single handily stole the Beverly Hillbillies as Pearl Bodean. A wonderful
comedian and actress!
But I do have a question. Does anybody know the name of the Suspense
episode that had a blind detective by the name of "Captain McClain." I
remember hearing this episode a couple of years ago on the radio broadcast of
old time radio and I have been trying to find that episode. I am most
positive that it was a Suspense episode and not Escape. But of course I could
be wrong. This character also appeared as a detective, in two movies, (1) The
Hidden Eye and (2) The Eyes in the Night, which will, as of this sent e-mail,
be playing this morning (Tues.)on Turner Classic Movies at 4:30 in the
morning.

I can't recall seeing any Clark gas stations lately. But I surely recall
their song. And it went SOMETHING (attention Capon radio "researchers" --
it may not be EXACTLY this, so don't quiver and stamp your feet. :)) --
"Clark Super 100 Gasoline, thousands say it's best. The largest selling
independent gasoline in the middle west. Fill up today, you'll know just
what we mean. Buy Clark Super 100 Gasoline."
The comedy commercials featured Mel Blanc playing both roles of a boss and
his underling.
- ----------------------------------------------------------
The days of phony baloney gas commercials seem to have gone away now that
the robber oil companies charge sky-high prices in the US. The only
difference is that Super America puts a bit more water in their gas.
And the "farmer gas," the corn-based gas. It's also branded as Blue Gas.
Turns out more pollution is created in distilling this product. And
despite what they say, it WILL erode the gaskets in your car. Happy head
gasket replacement!
Beat that corn into cereal and muffins instead, Farmer Brown!

Last time on the OTR Digest, Jim Stokes writes:
Uh, I thought that thinking back to the old time
radio days was like FUN? It was fun for me. But some
people here, who call themselves "researchers" never
worked in radio a day in their lives.
This reminds me of a talk radio show I was listening
to last week. (Rush Limbaugh?) A listener berated the
host for giving his opinion on the usefulness of
homework, because he wasn't a parent, and, as such
shouldn't be taken seriously on the issue. The host
pointed out that he had never been in the miltary, so
he shouldn't talk about the defense budget; he had
never been in politics, so he shouldn't discuss that
either. It's a very slippery slope. Jim, people work
on, research, and write about subjects they weren't
involved in, all the time--they're called historians.
I had 15 yrs in the biz in local and major markets as
a DJ, salesman, programmer, and engineer. And I think
if I feel like doing a just-from-memory-for-fun
recall, I shouldn't have to be beaten with words by
people who never were in the biz and whose only game
seems to be to correct people.
Again, this is a very dangerous notion--that you had
to be there in order to give your view, or correct
somebody who was there. People's memories are faulty,
and I can not see the virtue in letting errors pass,
especially to such a wide audience as this list.
I'm aware that, in the past, there's been a call not
to be vicious or unrelenting when correcting someone
else's piece of misinformation, and I can certainly
appreciate that. But, if the rather mild corrections
of advertising jingles (which are available for
ANYONE'S listening, merely by selecting the widely
available shows on which they're featured)constitutes
"beating up with words", I can't muster up any
sympathy. Any correction is now going to be deemed
offensive, and that's insane.
For the record, I have seen a LOT of mistakes made by
certain "experts" on this board. And I don't go
whipping them.
Nobody needs to whip anybody. And nobody whipped you
either, unless you're referring to some private
e-mails. Feel free to post some corrections, if you
have them. If this is really just for fun, and no big
deal, then it should be no big deal to correct the
ocassional error.
So give us old guys a break, who really were in the
biz, and now just want to have some fun.
I think there are plenty of old guys who were in "the
biz", having fun on this list. Corrections are
allowed here. If by having fun, you mean not allowing
any corrections, you may consider starting your own
"board".
"Capons" is more of a term for the "expert
researchers" on this board who were never in the biz.
Well, I looked up capons in the Merriam-Webster
Collegiate Dictionary (I know, there I go consulting
books again!), and capons is the plural of capon,
which is a 12'th century word for castrated male
chicken. Really! You do the "expert researchers" a
disservice, Jim--some of them are women!
Anyhoo, this "board" is for people who are interested
in old-time radio, not people who were in the biz.
Being in the "biz" does not you the right to post in
error. It's egotistical to think otherwise.
I respect people who ARE and WERE actually in the
biz, BTW.
And I respect people who deserve my respect. Some of
us didn't have the privelige of working in "the biz",
or being alive when the golden age of "the biz" was
ocurring. I'm sorry, we're apparently less than
worthy. Perhaps we should put it to a vote. All in
favor of those who were not affilated with the biz
keeping quiet, say AYE!

A set of WOW

Are there any details available about the provenance of these discs ---
were they actually authenticated by anyone with a background in vintage
transcriptions? I know there was a set of fuzzy 1948-vintage copy discs
made by Radio Recorders floating around the OTR world a few years ago,
which would hardly be worth that much even to the most deep-pocketed
collector, and I've also heard of even cruder 12" lacquer dubs floating
around that were probably made in the 1950's or 1960's. On the other
hand, a genuine first-generation set of 1938-vintage recordings of the
program would be of considerable historical interest aside from the
monetary value -- especially if they included local "it's only a play"
interruptions.
In any event, I hope the eBayers don't get wind of this -- transcription

White King sponsored a show I really liked, when I could get it, Chandi,

Brian Johnson, speaking of oleomargarine, notes,
But few remember that in the early days of margarine, the dairy lobby
in Washington succeeded in requiring that the yellow coloring not be
manufactured into the product so no one would confuse it with real
butter.
They did more than that. I remember an ad (I think it was for Blue
Bonnet Margerine) where the lady tastes it and says, "It tastes better
than better," rather than "better than butter."
On mixing the yellow coloring, when we first started using margarine
after the end of World War II, we got a pound of white stuff and a little
envelope of aluminum, which, when we tore it open, had the pigment. We
used forks to mix in the coloring, which looked like a deep
reddish-orange powder until it thinned out in the blending process. It
was a chore. Once, as a kid, I just used the stuff plain, spreading the
white margarine on my toast, rather to the disgust of my parents. Tasted
the same, either way.

Hoosierwood, speaking of drug stores, notes,
When I come across a Rexall store in my travels I find that they don't

Regrettably, relatively few people know who Phil Harris was. He didn't
transition well into television, and his novelty records ([removed], The
Thing) petered out in the major music areas during the 1950s.
But then, a lot of older personalities are getting forgotten, sorry to
say.

Sure, to a certain extent. But since these internet postings are
sometimes picked up and re-quoted even years later, easily corrected
errors should be corrected. That's what a dialog and an exchange of
ideas is. If someone has access to the correct info or to the actual
recording, why shouldn't they give the info?
No reason why they shouldn't, unless they are incapable of not wording
it in such a way as to cast aspersions on the intelligence and capability
of the person being "corrected." We're all adults here (except for some of
our younger enthusiasts, who are developing adult tastes) and
we ALL deserve to be treated with RESPECT and REGARD by our colleagues
(and I use the word "colleague" deliberately.) If someone has a fount
of knowledge but can't use it in any way other than as a verbal bludgeon,
then that knowledge is likely to go unheard by the enraged and fuming
bludgeonees.

It was fun for me. But some people here, who call themselves "researchers"

Well, how about 5480 days in radio, more or less -- which is about the
amount of time I worked in The Business, as a reporter, news editor,
production specialist, and copywriter -- not counting the past four
years, in which I've served as co-writer for a daily technology show
("Sound*Bytes") on several hundred stations of the CBS Radio Network. In
fact, I think it's safe to say that there are few of us "researchers" who
have not at one time or another had some direct experience in The
Business. (And in my own case, most of that time was spent working with
obsolete 1940s vintage equipment -- it wasn't the OTR era, but thanks to
the cheap grifters who owned the stations I worked at it might as well
have been -- I recorded network feeds on a Magnecord PT-6, and it doesn't
get much more 1950s than that. Adding to the nostalgia value, the pay
levels were OTR-era as well, as were the social attitudes of the
management.)
I think most people will agree there is room for both "casual nostalgia"
and "serious research" in the OTR world -- after all, when the Nostalgic
Fan comes around asking for specific information on the background or
broadcast history of a particular program or personality, it's up to the
Serious Researcher to root it out. That hard-core information isn't going
to be found in casual coffee-shop chatter -- one has to work to dig it
out from blurry microfilm, original scripts, old program logs, original
recordings, engineering reports, and other documentary materials.
Sharing the results of this research has been, from my perspective, been
one of the most valuable aspects of this Digest over the years, and I for
one am glad to see so many Serious Researchers frequenting it. And it's
commendable that we are *usually* able to conduct our conversations here
on the basis of mutual respect without snide remarks or namecalling.
