Subject: Houdini's brother: Theo Hardeen
We have recently been discussing Houdini.
Yesterday I heard a thing on WNYC from their archives in 1939 where
Theo Hardeen talks about working in Hellsapoppin which was running on
Broadway at the time and other things. He sounds like he is reading a
script (quite badly).
The segment is called:
Past Present: How to Be an Escape Artist
[removed]
It must have been Old Time Day on broadcast yesterday because later
on WFMU I heard this:
"Brush Creek Follies was the second-most popular hillbilly radio show
in the country, second only to Chicago's "National Barn Dance"
program. Here's a rare chance to hear the "Twins Night" episode from
1941 of this classic program. . "

Regarding the question about who played the music for Archie Andrews, My
guess would be George [removed] organist whom I know played for some of
Hal's shows. George was in San Francisco at KFRC in 1941, then went to NBC
in New York. Later he came to Los Angeles and died in 1998. He was the
master of the Wurlitzer organ and many CD's are available. I would not be
surprised if the music was something straight out of George's talented
fingers.
