East Lynne Theater Company presents Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle's "Sherlock Holmes' Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle" in the
style of a radio broadcast
Those of you who have heard Quicksilver Radio Theater's production might
be interested in the fact that
the estimable East Lynne uses my adaptation of that story (though
tailoring it a bit for their venue.)
Ditto, the "Speckled Band" that is in their repertoire. (both authorized
by the Doyle Estate.)

From Those Were The Days
3/7
1933 CBS debuted Marie the Little French Princess which had a run of
two years.
1944 Norman Corwin hosted a program titled, Columbia Presents Corwin
on the CBS network this day.
3/8
1925 Bernard McFadden was a physical culturist who had a radio show in
New York City. But not for long. McFadden failed to show up for his
daily morning program, causing a young, studio engineer, John Gambling,
to ad lib on the air for a solid hour. As a result, the station (WOR)
decided to give Gambling the morning announcer's job. John Gambling
stayed at WOR for many years, then turned the mike over to his son, who,
finally, turned the program over to his son ... all named John. Mr.
Gambling's Rambling with Gambling program attracted tri state (New York,
New Jersey, Connecticut) audiences in record numbers for over 70 years
on the 50,000 watt talk radio powerhouse at 710 AM on your radio dial
from New York each morning.
3/9
1945 Those Websters debuted on CBS. Willard Waterman starred as George
Webster.
3/10
1922 Variety magazine greeted readers with the front page headline
that read, "Radio Sweeping Country 1,000,000 Sets in Use."
1955 The last broadcast of The Silver Eagle was heard.
3/12
1933 Eight days after he was inaugurated, [removed] President Franklin
Delano Roosevelt presented his first presidential address to the nation.
It was the first of what were called Roosevelt's famous Fireside Chats.
The name, incidentally, was coined by newsman, Robert Trout. He thought
that the President sounded as if he was sitting with us in living rooms
all over the nation next to a roaring fire, just telling it like it was.
3/13
1923 A great improvement in radio receivers was advertised. The new
models had a concealed speaker and eliminated the need for headphones,
which were considered a nuisance because they were so heavy to wear and
messed up hairdos. The new radios were also said to have a 'foolproof'
design.
