Subject:  Jack Benny And Rochester

Jack In The Dark??

I was listening to a 12/18/49 transcribed Jack Benny on CBS last night and
heard what I think may have been an embarrassing, yet in context of the
times, humorous event. This was the show before Christmas and it took place
in Jack's house. Mostly it was about Jack getting shocked whenever the
lights on the tree were plugged in "take it out, take it out" were the most
common words on this above average Benny.

Near the end of the show, Rochester address's Jack from a distance (in the
script and apparently on stage) and Jack (ad libs) says to Rochester "where
are you". The way I understood it was that perhaps Eddie (Rochester)
Anderson was far enough off mike not to be seen easily, and perhaps out of
the light, and because of Rochester's skin color, Jack could not see him in
the dark.

There was a rather nervous laughter in the audience, then somewhat
rollicking, and then my sense of it was that it became somewhat embarrassed
tittering.

I know others on the list have heard this episode. Has anyone caught this?
Or am I making too much out of the situation. The show went right on, and I
guess in 1949 if Jack could not see Eddie because he was black, certainly
nothing could really be said about it.

This is one of those things I listen for on broadcasts that are embarrassing
by the standards of the day, politically incorrect today (rightly so) and
interesting to those of us who once and while like to catch our heroes with
their pants down (figuratively of course).

It reminds me of the nervous laughter after Fred Allen's "purse" remark on
"The Big Show" in 1950 or '51. Does anyone remember that?

Subject:  Article on Dunninger

There is a magazine titled simply HISTORY MAGAZINE which is sort of a poor
man's version of AMERICAN HERITAGE.  Browsing through the August/September
issue at a newstand I noticed an article titled "Psychic Radio: Duninger the
Mentalist"by Barry H. Wiley. This rather brief, but interesting. article
focuses on Dunninger's 1943-44 radio program.  There is at least one mistake,
the author mentions that "actress Molly Goldberg" once appeared on the
program. Of course we all know (especially given the recent posts on the
subject in the Digest) that Gertrude Berg was the actress, Molly Goldberg was
the character she created.

The article mentions one blooper moment. There is a brief backstory to it:
Dunninger did a bit whereby some guests selected some objects to be placed in
a can which was then encased in a block of ice. Dunninger then supposidly
read the guest's minds to determine what was in the can, announced what would
be in it, then the ice was broken and (of course) the items in the can were
what Dunninger described.

It was decided to do the trick again on a later broadcast, except this time
the can with the objects was encased in concrete. When the time to break open
the concrete and reveal the can with the objects came the block could not be
broken open. Wiley writes: "To the growing laughter ofthe audience, the
pounding and smashing of sledge hammers on the concrete continued in the
background for the last five or six minutes of the show and continued until
signoff". It's not clear whether Wiley heard a recording of the broadcast or
read a contemporary account describing it. Does anyone know if this is a
surviving broadcast? It sounds almost as good as Fred Allen and the eagle.

Subject:  Re: 64kps?!!

The rough equal in quality for a mono recording is a 64
kbps encoding which is probably in all cases as good as any OTR
analog recording even if it came from Radio Archives, especially if
variable bit rate is used in the MP3 encode.

I'm afraid I have to disagree.  64 kbps sounds pretty bad to my ears: If I
can hear digital swishes or chirping, that's just not good enough.

First generation OTR recordings can and do sound very good, indeed.

Ah, [removed] XI.

At the time I was a USAF Public Affairs Officer stationed at a remote
base---663 Fifth Avenue, NYC; home of SAFOI-N, the Secretary Of the Air Force
Office Of Information.

Somehow I got a press/VIP pass to Cape Kennedy and managed to hitch an air
flight to Florida.

I slept on somebody's floor the night before the launch and work up in the WEE
small hours with a bit of a hangover due to all the pre-launch celebrations
going on in Satellite Beach.

As I recall we had to be by the Vehicle Assembly Building by 3 [removed] and we
were--in shape or not.

I watched as Armstrong, Auldrin & Collins, completely suited up, left from
their dorm and walked right me to their bus. Meanwhile author Norman Mailer
was making a pest of himself climbing all over pared cars trying to get
photographs.

Then it was off to the viewing area where I wandered though both the VIP and
the press/broadcast viewing areas.

Some vendors were there but also a post office booth where you could send out
a date of issue cancelled stamp of the occasion. Of course I did.

Then it was a sight I'll never forget. It seemed that all the palm trees bent
and the ground under us rumbled as the launch took place to my "Oh my god,
wow!, will you look at that!" [removed]

I was standing in between two of the network cameras covering the launch and
decided not to take pictures--I could get one later--so I saw the launch with
both eyes, not through some viewfinder.

Later I could spot the back of my head in a photo of the launch published on
the front page of the NY Times.

When I got back to NYC I fought to get into the parade that honored the
astronauts and I managed to stand in front of City Hall at parade rest to
watch the Mayor give the three their offical welcomes to Gotham.

While at Cape Kennedy I picked up every bit of ephemera I could of Apollo
XI--manuals, handouts, a paper sun visor, my press pass--and later managed to
get the autographs of the three; all of which I arranged in a framed collage.

Getting the Neil Armstrong autograph was unique. I wrote him at the University
Of Cincinnati describing my above activities and experiences, and I made sure
to inclose a blank index card a self-addressed stamped envelope.

Indeed I got I got it back signed: "To Captain Knowlton, Neil Armstrong,
Apollo XI."

He did use the envelope.

Radio content: While at SAFOI-N, and earlier in Saigon, I placed radio
features, actualities and interviews on "Monitor," hometown news radio
recipients, and the radio networks.

 From Those Were The Days ==

8/4

1921   The first tennis match on radio was broadcast on KDKA in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This was a natural since KDKA was the first
commercial radio station in the United States. Within eight months the
powers that be figured out that sports on radio would bring in big sales
revenues. And so, the Davis Cup match between Great Britain and
Australia was aired on the radio; but much to the wonderment of KDKA's
listeners. Tennis anyone? On radio? It rates right up there with radio
wrestling or, maybe, [removed]

1927   Station 2XAG, later named WGY, the General Electric station in
Schenectady, NY, began experimental operations from a 100,000 watt
transmitter. Later, the FCC regulated the power of AM radio stations to
not exceed 50,000 watts on 'clear channels' (where few, if any, stations
would cause interference with each other).

1940   Crime Doctor introduced a new kind of radio hero to audiences.
The CBS program presented Dr. Benjamin Ordway, the show's main
character, who was a victim of amnesia. He once was a criminal, but got
hit on the head, and suddenly began to work as a crime fighter. Nice twist.

8/5

1921   KDKA in Pittsburgh, PA did the first play by play broadcast of a
baseball game. Harold Arlin described the action as the Pirates beat
Philadelphia 8 5.

1935   Backstage Wife was first aired, on MBS.

8/6

1928   One of radio's first serials, Real Folks, debuted on NBC.

1939   After becoming a success with Ben Bernie on network radio, Dinah
Shore started her own show on the NBC Blue network. Dinah sang every
Sunday evening.

8/7

1949   Martin Kane, Private Eye was first heard on Mutual. William
Gargan starred on the Sunday afternoon program.

source, condition, and transfer - classic material had a good deal more range
than commonly assumed.

And hence, deserved higher digital preservation. In fact, I've carried that
flag into battle in other web groups.

Subject:  Re: Lights Out episode

Does anyone know the airdate for the Lights Out episode "Night"?

There's no Lights Out show with that title but there _is_ a June 7, 1945
episode of Arch Oboler's Plays called "Night" which consists of a series of
dramatic vignettes. A number of Arch Oboler's Plays masquerade as Lights Out
episodes and perhaps that's the case here.

Subject:  Recycle Names?

My wife did a theatrical  headshot  but, unlikely as it may seem, the
client didn't want his name printed on the  print.  It seems that he is a
member
of 2 unions and uses a different name  for each.
In a book by George Jean Nation on the theater season of 1946-1947  he
mentions a Michael Fox.  Now we know a Michael J. Fox and the question  is are
there any circumstances when two people can have the same name?   Could that
only occur if the person with a given name was deceased prior to the
formation of the various entertainment unions?
