Greetings:

Someone from Ohio wrote here recently (can't find the darn thing) and
described the train into New York as dropping underground at 125th Street.
Given that the 125th Street station is elevated that would be one heck of a
exciting drop. Wee! In reality the train drops underground around 97th
Street or so. Some commuter can tell us the exact street and current name
of this train, I'm sure.

A thought I had:

Related trivia item:

The musical aggravation " Manhattan Transfer" derived its name from
Manhattan Transfer near Newark, NJ which is where the PRR trains switched
>from steam to electric for the haul into Pennsylvania Station.

Bill Orr

Given the clever lyrical bent of Manhattan Transfer, it would seem
reasonable to guess that they lifted their name from John Dos Passos's 1925
novel "Manhattan Transfer," rather than directly from the railroad depot.
But I could be wrong and Tim Hauser _is_ a railroad buff. Later.

Since the recent thread, I was listening to the Mercury Theater's
production
of The Immortal Sherlock Holmes, September 25, 1938, and Holmes (Welles)
refers to Professor ROBERT Moriarty.  In everything else I've seen, his
first name was James.  A faux paux on the venerable Mr. Welles' part?  Does
anybody know what's up with this?

***Orson's MERCURY THEATRE production of "The Immortal Sherlock Holmes"
(included in the recent RSI/Smithsonian collection OLD-TIME RADIO MASTER
DETECTIVES) is an adaptation of William Gillette's SHERLOCK HOLMES stage play
and continues the use of the different first name Gillette gave to Moriarty.
Why?  Who knows?  Maybe another character in the play was called James, or
maybe Gillette was just trying to put his own personal stamp on the
characters.  Regardless, the Welles adaptation is important since he bases
his delivery on the way Gillette played the role, and unfortunately both of
Gillette's radio portrayals of the stately Holmes of England are lost, along
with his 1916 silent film.  Welles was a huge fan (and friend) of Gillette
and had seen the legendary American actor reprise his most famous role in a
1930s Broadway revival of SHERLOCK HOLMES.  (Gillette's interpretation of
Holmes was so popular that even British actors playing the role often
imitated Gillette's midwestern twang until Basil Rathbone made the role his
own in 1939.)  Orson's radio simulation of the man who was the stage
embodiment of Holmes is probably the closest surviving simulation of one of
the theater's legendary performances. --ANTHONY TOLLIN***

In 1936, the show "Professor Quiz" aired for the first time on radio.
It was the first national quiz show, lasting until 1948.  Guests asked
Professor Quiz (Dr. Craig Earl) questions and if they were able to stump
the professor, they collected a $25 prize.

In 1940, Glenn Miller recorded "Make Believe Ballroom Time" at the
Victor studios in New York City; it would become the theme song for the
"Make Believe Ballroom" show on WNEW, New York, with host Martin Block.

George Wagner inquires whether it was Joe Kearns  who built his house
around a pipe organ.

It was .

As I recall, he found the organ in an old theater and had it restored,
then had his house built to accommodate all the pipes and console. I
visited the house one day    between afternoon and evening broadcasts.
It was a charming house and the organ seemed to be an integral part of
it.

Joe was not only a talented musician. He was also a fine actor and a
nice man.

Was it Joseph Kearns who built his home AROUND a pipe organ? I sure I once
saw a photospread on this in a 1950s magazine.

True enough - in fact the organ was the *same one* on which Gaylord Carter
performed the opening and closing themes for "Amos & Andy" for many years.
Kearns bought it in the early 1950's and had it installed in his new home;
after his death, it was sold and eventually made its way to a theater where
I believe it still is located. Carter performed a concert on it in the
early '90's and the concert was publicized as "Gaylord Carter Reunited With
An Old Friend." Carter said at the time that there was still a small hole
in the wood just below the music stand - a hole he himself had made over
sixty years before, installing a small hook on which to hang the stopwatch
used to time the opening and closings precisely.

There was an article describing all of the above posted to the web awhile
back, but I can't seem to locate it just now. However, you can go to the
URL below to see a photo of Kearns and Carter together, probably taken
sometime in the mid-1950's.

It may have been a prank statement, but one of the announcers on local
KSTP-AM in Minneapolis/St. Paul last night said that Rush Limbaugh was
nearly deaf.   KSTP-AM carries the RL show, by the way.

Since people started a thread here of deaf announcers, this is the time to
confirm or deny whether the venerabl RL is nearly deaf.   If this is the
case, it's still possible to pump massive amounts of audio into his
earphones, so he could hear the callers.

So is it true or not?  Anybody know?

***It's true, and has been widely reported on TV news programs which have
played the clip of Limbaugh making the announcement.  (And it was a posting
about Limbaugh that led to the recent thread on deaf announcers.)  He's 80%
deaf in one ear and totally deaf in the other and his remaining hearing is
rapidly degenerating.  Speculation is that the rapid hearing loss (over a
3-month period) is most likely due to an immune system malfunction where the
immune system attacks and kills the little sensory hairs within the ear.
(Medical experts also note that syphilis can also cause such a rapid hearing
loss.)  It's been mentioned that immune-system deafness is almost always
permanent and that RL's only chance for hearing in the future may be with an
implant.

Also, the nature of the loss is such that he can't hear through boosted-up
headphones, but is being assisted by staff members speaking into the ear he
still has some partial hearing in.  --ANTHONY TOLLIN***

No doubt there will be numerous responses to the request for more
information on Mr. Limbaugh's hearing impairment but here are my two cents
worth.
>From what I've heard he is completely deaf in one ear and the other can only
perceive certain voices and sounds of a particular frequency. Apparently
volume isn't really the issue.
It was speculated he would retire but apparently he has decided to continue
doing his show (but with few if any callers since he can't hear radio or
phone conversations he has said).
Frankly, while I've never been a big fan I doubt it will make much
difference (his being unable to listen to people) since he has rarely
listened to anyone with opposing viewpoints in the past, why start now?

Subject:  By any other name

George Wagner's eloquent exposition of the "Tokyo Rose" story should be
more than sufficient to show the injustice of the trial and imprisonment of
"Orphan Ann" Iva Toguri. This one gets under my skin too.

A few additional notes. "Tokyo Rose" was a name coined by GI's to
succinctly describe the many female voices they heard broadcasting from
Japan. The women themselves never used the term. Iva Toguri did not have a
"husky and sexy" voice but a sweet and sassy girl-next-door voice. If you
were a GI caught in the hell of the Pacific war which would you rather hear
- the Dragon Lady or the girl you left behind? You can judge her voice for
yourself at:

   [removed]

There are many other "Tokyo Rose" sites on the Internet. If you care to
pursue the story further try:

   [removed]

By all reasonable acounts, including post-trial statements by jurors, an
innocent woman was made a scapegoat in the peculiar atmosphere following
the end of the war. The trial is marked by coerced, distorted, perjured
testimony, some by witnesses who claimed firsthand knowledge which could
not have been possible. Of the eight charges of treason alleged she was
acquited of seven and convicted of one. The judge later admitted his own
prejudice against Toguri.

Gerald Ford neatly balanced his early pardon of an unconvicted guilty man
with a belated pardon of a convicted innocent woman. Personally, I approved
of both pardons, for different reasons. In Nixon's case, though I despised
the man, I knew the nation had to move on quickly. In Iva Toguri's case I
was convinced she had been unjustly condemned.

Her story is touched with more than a little pathos. Abandoned in Japan by
the US government, speaking little or no Japanese, she survived by becoming
an English language typist. She was enlisted as a broadcaster by allied
prisoners of war who wrote her scripts and instructed her in subtle
distortions of language which slipped by the Japanese and undermined their
intended message. She steadfastly refused to renounce her American
citizenship though others did so willingly. She was constantly harassed by
the Japanese thought police but she resisted their threats and clung
tenaciously to America. She assisted POW's with food and other materials at
peril to herself. Ironically, it was her American citizenship which made
the kangaroo court possible; those who renounced America and became
Japanese citizens were not prosecuted. Her script writers were exonerated
and rewarded. Despite this she has never spoken bitterly about her native
land.

Would anybody think of prosecuting the few surviving allied prisoners who
worked in the brutal Japanese forced labor camps? They made the bitter
choice of life over death even though it may have helped the enemy. Willows
bend in the storm so they can stand again when the storm is over. Or they
break and die. Only the survivors are fit to judge their fellow survivors.

In response to Jim Stokes inquiry on whether or not Rush Limbaugh is nearly
deaf. Yes, Jim, it's true. This was a thread all last week on Rush's show;
he has lost all hearing in one ear and 90% in another one in a span of 4
months. He is currently undergoing treatment from the best specialists in
the country to no avail. Many of the specialists have told him it could be a
hereditary condition, an immune-system problem, or they just don't know. One
or two doctors have told him there's a chance for reversal, but they don't
really know either. Rush is stating that he is going to continue the show
one way or another, and has been working on ways to work around his problem
with computer programs, closed-captioning and the like of his phone calls.
His voice has also changed in response to the fact that he says he can't
really hear his own voice anymore. He states he can't carry on normal
conversations, and has the most powerful hearing aids available and they are
now useless. Stay tuned to the show for more details, he tells us. This will
be very interesting to find out what happens to the show Rush says himself
occupies an "entire wing of the Museum of Radio History" and if Rush can
pull off what is probably another first in radio, a call-in show hosted by a
deaf person. Here's betting if anyone can do it, Rush can.  Randy Collins.

Subject:  FOTR convention

	I thought I might offer my 2 cents worth to the recent
discussion of the FOTR convention. I went to my first one last year,
along with my wife, 8 year old daughter, and my in-laws, with me
being the only OTR hobbyist of the bunch. Everyone had a great time,
from the youngest to the oldest. I was a bit concerned that I may
have "missed the boat" when it comes to the biggest names of OTR
having already passed away for the most part. I couldn't have been
more mistaken!
	Many of the people I wasn't familiar with their body of work
provided the most entertaining moments for me. Peg Lynch, who I
wasn't familiar with prior to the show, was as funny today as I'm
sure she was when radio was a bit younger (not that Ms. Lynch is
getting any older). To listen to the supporting people who worked in
front of and behind the microphone on some of my favorite shows tell
story after story was worth many times the small price of admission.
To be able to meet and carry on a conversation with people who's
voices were instantly recognizable although their names or faces were
less so, was a memorable experience.
	With the events of last month, we should all come to realize
how fragile life is, not just for the people who worked in radio but
for those of us who are too young to have lived through it's first
heyday. Take the time to make a memory. Find a new favorite show that
you have never listened to before but try at the convention and get
hooked on (think "Ethel and Albert" for example). Pass along your
love for OTR to the next generation and take the kids. Listen to the
stories live instead of hearing "you had to be there" on the list in
the days after the convention. Support the dealers who make the shows
available to you year round in addition to having a vast selection of
nearly everything available to take home from the show. Many depend
on FOTR to support their business and get a kick start onto the
holiday season of gift giving. For those of you who want to have an
alternative to the Mega-Dealer concept of corporate controlled old
radio shows, now's the time to show your support when and where it
counts.
	Last year I drove the 13 hours each way to attend but hope to
have more sense and fly this time. Circumstances conspire that I'll
have to go alone this year, unfortunately. If you are lucky enough to
be able to attend, look me up and say hello. I'll be the big guy who
looks tired but happy as he regains just a little bit of childhood
exuberance for the weekend. I love this stuff!
