Sad of course.
And yet joyous in memory.
I recall many nights at the FOTR events in Newark over many years where would
share our love of one of the greatest magic tricks of the Twentieth
[removed] Radio.
It's reenactment meant much to us.

 From Those Were The Days -

1/12

1926   Sam 'n' Henry debuted on WGN in Chicago, Illinois.  The show's
name was changed to Amos 'n' Andy with the voices of its creators,
Freeman Gosden and Charles Correll.

1932   Ed Sullivan joined CBS radio in a program of gossip and interviews.

1/13

1906 - Hugo Gernsback of the Electro Importing Company advertised radio
receivers for sale for the low, low price of just $[removed] ($188 in 2012
dollars) in Scientific American magazine. The first ad selling the
gizmos guaranteed reception of about one mile.

1910   Enrico Caruso and Emmy Destinn were heard via a telephone
transmitter; rigged by DeForest Radio Telephone Company to broadcast
from the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City.

1/14

1927   Jack Benny married Sadye Marks on this day.

1939   The program, Honolulu Bound, was heard on CBS. Phil Baker and the
Andrews Sisters were featured on the program.

1/15

1945   Art Linkletter starred on the CBS debut of House Party. The show
continued on the air for 22 years, including a long stint on CBS t-------n.

1/16

1939 - The shrill siren call of radio's "I Love a Mystery" was heard for
the first time as the show debuted on NBC's West-Coast outlets.

1/17

1938   Francis X. Bushman was the star of the program, Stepmother, which
debuted on CBS. The show continued on the air for the next four years.

1/18

1929   New York Daily Mirror columnist Walter Winchell made his debut on
radio, broadcasting a blend of political commentary and celebrity gossip
to "Mr. and Mrs. [removed]" His quick jabbing, penetrating manner
became his trademark. And so did wearing his fedora hat.

1937   CBS introduced listeners to Aunt Jenny's Real Life Stories for
the first time. A complete story was told in five, 15 minute episodes
which aired Monday thru Friday each week. Aunt Jenny was played by Edith
Spencer and later, by Agnes Young. The show continued on radio until
1956 and was sponsored over the years by Spry shortening and Lux soap.
Aunt Jenny's whistling canary, for those of you ready to inquire, was
played by animal imitator, Henry Boyd.

Subject:  A new blog about the Great Northern Railway's
 Empire Builders radio  series

My name is Scott Tanner. I've enjoyed participating in this discussion group
(mostly from the sidelines) for a couple of years now. At times, various
active members of this group have been of tremendous help to me as I have
researched the Empire Builders radio series. Along the way, I've absorbed a
great deal of helpful and rewarding knowledge about OTR in general. I'm very
grateful for all of this.

I've been a member of the Great Northern Railway Historical Society (GNRHS)
since 1983. I'm not one of those people who know a lot about trains, but
instead I have become interested in various aspects of advertising and larger
issues of the GN's impact on the growth and commercial development of the
Pacific Northwest - including their ground-breaking radio advertising
campaign of 1929-1931.

I learned about the Empire Builders radio series many years ago, but only in
the past 5 years or so have I become focused on researching this topic. Our
historical society publishes a small magazine and at least two or three
accompanying stand-alone articles (called "Reference Sheets") on a quarterly
basis.

I am pleased to say that my 40-page GNRHS Reference Sheet on the Empire
Builders radio series is due to be published with the society's March
mailing. As the time of that mailing draws near, I will be happy to post
information here about how anyone (including non-GNRHS members) can purchase
a copy of that article. Authors of GNRHS Reference Sheets are typically
members of the society, with a wide range of writing skills, and are not
compensated for their work. However, the articles are copyrighted.

Most of you who have some awareness of the Empire Builders series know that
the first weekly broadcast of the series was on January 14, 1929. However,
this was preceded by a one-hour special coast-to-coast broadcast over the
young NBC network to open and dedicate the GN's new Cascade Tunnel. That
broadcast occurred on the night of January 12, 1929 - exactly 85 years ago.

NEW BLOG ABOUT THE EMPIRE BUILDERS RADIO SERIES:
[removed]

Please check out my new blog about the Empire Builders and let me know what
you think. This is my first foray into blogging, and I have much to learn.
I'd be happy to hear from you if you have any comments or suggestions about
the content and design of my blog. I am also very interested in hearing from
anyone who has questions about the Empire Builders series, of if you have
specific information regarding the broadcasts, such as press releases, press
photos, scripts (continuities), etc., that you'd like to share.

I hope you find my blog of interest. As time goes on, I plan to post about
virtually all of the 103 weekly episodes, and many of the details related to
the series. On the blog you will find a poll designed to let me know the
general interests that draw visitors to my blog. Please take a moment to
register your area(s) of interest.

This Week's Classics & Curios Show:

"Echoes of Songs and Laughter"

Episode 105

DREAMS AND MEMORIES TWO

As we enter the New Year, following a Classics & Curios tradition, we
feature our "Dreams and Memories" show. This version is edited slightly,
but most favorites remain, with only the Guy Lombardo set deleted
because we recently played it n a New Year's show.

"Moments to Remember" with The Four Lads begins our program, followed by
a "memory test" from the Statler Brothers with "Do You Remember These?"
The Four Freshmen sing "Graduation Day," and Perry Como brings a
"Dreamer's Holiday."

Then we briefly go to a Bing Crosby Show for "I Can Dream, Can't I?" by
Bing and the Andrews Sisters. The Pied Pipers serenade dreamily with
"Dream," and Doris Day claims, "My Dreams Are Getting Better All the
Time" with Les Brown and his orchestra.

Woody Herman performs the touching "A Soldier's Dream," and pretty Kitty
Kallen entertains with "Happy Talk," which reminds us that "If you don't
have a dream, how you gonna have a dream come true."

Andy Griffith sings "Precious Memories," and Bob Hope and Shirley Ross
share their classic duet from 1938: "Thanks for the Memory." Finally,
Jiminy Cricket (Cliff Edwards) brings back childhood Disney movie
memories with "When You Wish Upon a Star."

Parting thought: "Dream no small dreams for they have no power to move
the hearts of men." -- Goethe, German poet Curios and the Keilstrup
family. .

Subject:  Perry Mason on OTR

        Who played the lead role in the OTR version of "Perry Mason"? I've
been
told that one storyline was made up of many different episodes before the
solution was revealed. Is this so and are there any complete storylines
available for purchase? Where?
