   ...ok, actually from her daughter, Patti, but it quoted our good buddy
Lois Culver. She was _really_ glad to get all the cards and emails, is
feeling much better, and is hoping to get back on line again soon. She misses
all her friends from the #oldradio chatroom and the Digest, and specifically
told me to give OTR hugs to everyone!

	 Hiya Gang:

	          For those of you who are fans of the Focus on the Family
ministries' "new-time radio"  programme "Adventures In Odyssey," I'd like to
tell you that their "War of the Worlds" inspired episode "Terror from the
Skies" (which originally aired on October 30th, 1993) is scheduled to be
heard on stations that carry "Odyssey" repeats on Thursday, March 18th, 2004.
To learn more about "AIO" or this particular episode, or to find a station
that carries it, please visit FoF's "AIO" website [removed] .

	Best from the ether,

	Derek Tague

Subject:  The Adventures of Philip Marlowe

Last night, I listened to the Adventures of Philip Marlowe.  The episode
was "Face to Forget" broadcast 6/14/1950.  Besides Gerald Mohr as Phlip
Marlowe, the cast featured Harry Bartell, Parley Baer and Larry Dobkin
for a supporting cast of famous radio players.

Just re-checked my recording, based on the question of where the break-in war
announcements originate from on the circulating recording.  In the recordings
leading up to this date, you can sometimes hear them pot down from the
network feed into a separate spot for Jell-O pudding, which is followed by
the KFI
ID.  This is sufficiently consistent from the start of the 1941-42 season that
I feel relatively comfortable guessing that the 12/7 recording is also from
the KFI feed, although it cuts out right after the NBC ID.

Subject:  how many early 30s Holmes really exist?

Hi all,

I have a question- maybe Elizabeth can answer this question- how many early
1930s Sherlock Holmes really exist?  A handful are listed, but they seem to
be mislabels of the same two episodes.  Do more than these two episodes
exist?

Thanks,
Tim

Subject:  Lights Out Question

I have a puzzlement!  I have a "Lights Out" episode entitled "Nobody
Died". The tape is from Metacom and is dated only 1939.
The only log that I can find ( Jerry Haendiges) shows "Nobody Died" as
being from 12-9-36 and also that it is not available. I can't find that
it was repeated later as some other scripts were.
Anybody know something about this?

Subject:  Programs Not Available Anymore

Someone posted,

I'd go back for a day or two even without a
tape recorder just to get a chance to hear and see some programs that
aren't available any more.

Just as we're now able to obtain copies of most  OTR shows, we're able as
time goes on, to obtain copies of the older TV shows.  I've been slowly
acquiring from sellers through Amazon (as dollars allow) old shows (Burns &
Allen - Blondie & Dagwood - Amos & Andy - Ozzie & Harriett, and a few
others).   These are not expensive at all; however, some - like Perry Mason
and Alfred Hitchcock - are a little high for my bank account at the moment.
But, they'll come down in price eventually.  I still prefer the old radio
shows, though, since you can put those on & go about doing other things.
With TV, you have to stay put or miss something, maybe.  And, that's all I

GOING once - - Broadcast Museum memorabilia is for sale
Chicago Sun Times - Chicago,IL,USA
... A vault doorway on display is from an exhibit about a place where the
miserly radio character played by comedian Jack Benny might have squirreled
away his ...
<[removed];

I saw this display at the Broadcast Museum several years ago and wondered
what the point was supposed to be.  It sort of looked like something out of
an old-fashioned fun house or Halloween 'haunted house:" dark, scary, with
continually repeating sound effects.  A lot of the other radio props at the
Broadcast Museum deserve new homes as well: despite Mr Schaden's valiant
efforts to interpret radio to the modern public, the displays of antique
radios and microphones there seemed designed to present network radio as an
amusingly-obsolete medium.

At any rate, I was pretty depressed by the whole OTR presentation there,
though it was greatly brightened by an unexpected opportunity to meet Mr
Schaden himself.  (I told him about this group at the time, and I like to
revel in the fiction that I was the first to tell him about it.  He was very
polite.)

Pictures--and in the case of the money vault, sculptures--of radio programs
do not work for me.  While it is interesting from a(an?) historical
standpoint to see what the people looked like, I always resent attempts to
visually illustrate radio shows.

Yet this sort of thing was done from the very beginnings of radio: they'd
take a popular radio show on the road; they'd hand out publicity photographs
of personalities, and magazines contained articles and, especially,
advertisements featuring guys with slicked-back hair posing with huge
microphones.

And there were the Big Broadcast movies.  (Apropos to nothing, the few of
those movies I've seen struck me as being seriously strange, but perhaps you
had to live back then.)

Though he regretted it later, even Garrison Keillor once consented to a
television simulcast of his radio show.  It was horrible.

As I muse on into the night, it occurs to me that a studio audience at a
live radio show--or at one of the recreations of old radio shows held at OTR
conventions--can probably divorce their ears and their eyes, with the eyes
watching the people at the microphones as the ears and the mind follow the
script and build the mental image.

Subject:  Living OTR writers: the glass is half full

I read with interest Richard Pratz's posting about the death of Jerome
Lawrence who in addition to his other credits wrote for old-time radio
Of the various writers whom I profile in WORDS AT WAR, two, Millard
Lampell, and his friend and then later antagonist, Alan Sloane, have
passed away since I interviewed them. In addition, another person whom I
interviewed, Eleanor Oboler, widow of Arch, has also passed on.

But, three great OTR writers whom I interviewed are still quite with us
and as far as I know doing well: Arthur Miller, Arthur Laurents (best
known for writing West Side Story!)  and of course, Norman Corwin.

I haven't been keeping up with this digest in quite a while, so I know this is
a bit late.  I just learned of the passing of Mr. Bartell.  Just wanted to
express my sympathies.  I enjoy many of the programs in which his talent was
showcased and I appreciated his frequent contributions to this forum.  He will
be missed.
