Subject:  Technology & OTR show collecting

Joseph Webb writes:

So to store that many shows on reels would have cost you $11,645 in
today's dollars. So there's your choice: $89 or $11,645.

(Double all of this if you assume 64kps recordings).

This technology is just incredible. The idea that OLD time radio
benefits so much from NEW technology is a delightful paradox.

Ah, yes, storage is now so much cheaper and easier, but at what cost?  The
popularity of mp3 as a format for OTR means now that there is lots and lots
of OTR in circulation that sounds absolutely horrible; often worse than the
reel to reel days.  Anything encoded at 64kbps is almost unlistenable to my
ears, and 128 kbps still bugs me.  OTR shows from good sources can sound
almost as good as anything recorded today, and we do ourselves no favors by
saying, "This is just old AM radio, quality doesn't really matter!"

OTR dealers who insist on quality and use first generation sources (or
something close to it) demonstrate everyday that old radio can sound great!

Even though I'm a very young collector, I've been dragged kicking and
screaming into the mp3 era, only getting an iPod just last week.  I will say
it's much more convenient than carrying around dozens of CDs.

To satisfy my obsession with sound quality, I'm ripping everything at 320
kbps: that's OTR, acoustic 78s, cylinders, and modern recordings.  I'll
never give up the original CDs, and still prefer to collect on CD, or reel,
or (my favorite!) original transcription discs.

Still, I do see your point about the small expense of storage media.  I
wonder how the cost comparison breaks down if we assume storing shows at CD
quality (16 bit, [removed] k wave files), or 24 bit resolution?

Subject:  Green Hornet

Yes, that is the same Jim Harmon who posts on occasion on the OTR Digest. I
must have half a dozen Sci-Fi Digests from the fifties with stories in them
penned by Harmon.

Many of the authors on the Digest, myself included, have written magazine
articles, short stories, thesis and books not related to OTR simply because
everyone's field of expertise expands beyond OTR. (In other words, they do
more than sit around the house and listen to OTR 24 hours a [removed])

Keeping on the same topic, VCI Entertainment recently released the two GREEN
HORNET serials on DVD. For the first time ever they are being commercially
released from the studio's 35mm fine-grain nitrates which means crystal
clarity for what has been ages. Not even the former VHS releases was this
sharp in quality. Radio Spirits arranged for radio programs of THE GREEN
HORNET to be added as an extra on both serial releases, and lengthy liner
notes regarding the background production of the serials are [removed]
written by Terry Salomonson and myself. If you want to know which chapters in
the serials were adapted from early HORNET radio adventures, this may be an
enlightning read.

Subject:  Jell-Well Ad in 1926 Newspaper

Ron Reeland said he saw a Jell-Well ad "in a newspaper called Deseret
from January 5, 1926."

The Salt Lake Tribune has the largest daily newspaper circulation in
Utah.

The Deseret News has the second largest circulation. It was founded June
15, 1850 and is Utah's oldest continually published daily newspaper. The
Deseret News is owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
(also known as the Mormons or LDS Church).

You might think that because The Deseret News is owned by a church that
it is non-profit. That is not the case; it is a for-profit newspaper. It
accepts ads but will refuse advertising that violates church standards.

I just can't let this pass.

Joe Webb expressed the idea that "This technology is just incredible.
The idea that OLD time radio benefits so much from NEW technology is a
delightful paradox."

Digital technology was in some ways one of he best things to happen to
OTR, but in some ways also one of the worst. Think about it next time
you listen to a program that someone has encoded at a very low data rate
and you hear all the digital audio compression artifacts.

In the old days it took us a number of generations of analog to degrade
sound quality that far. Nowadays, it's just a few clicks away.

Subject:  "Professor Quiz"-- a mystery

I've lurked on the list for a while, but I seem to have stumbled on
an amusing little mystery while doing research for an encyclopedia,
and I thought I'd ask the list-members for their advice. (For those
who don't know me, I do a lot of free-lance writing, mainly about the
history of broadcasting; I've written 4 books and many many articles.)

Some of you are familiar with a program that started in Washington DC
in 1936 and then ended up as a network show-- "Professor Quiz."  The
original Professor was Jim McWilliams, a local guy from DC, according
to the Washington Post (5 February 1939, p. 12) and the show ended up
on CBS, where the host was Dr. Craig Earl.  Newspaper and magazine
articles of that era, 1937-1940, identified the professor as a
doctor, a teachor, a world-traveller, a former magician and
performer, and of course, a genius.  His announcer was the
soon-to-be-famous newsman Bob Trout.  His wife was named Betty and of
course their son was Professor Quiz Jr.

Except ...none of what was written about Craig Earl was true. (Even
Dunning's wonderful encyclopedia of old-time radio quoted a 1937
article in Radio Guide with the Craig Earl identity, so the good
professor seems to have fooled all sorts of people.)  Anyway,
Professor Quiz/Craig Earl appears to have been a bit of a con man,
and I think his real name was Arthur E. Baird, who claimed a degree
in theology from Tufts, and did an early exercise and health program
on Boston radio in the early 20s under that name.  He ultimately
vanished, and reinvented himself as Craig Earl, scholar and world
traveller-- one article claimed he had been an orphan, and bravely
overcame that tragic [removed] his 1918 draft card revealed he
was living at home in Medford with his folks and attending college,
but never [removed]

Well, the reason for the reinvention, as it turns out, was he didn't
want to pay alimony or child support to his first wife.  But the
courts did find him, and in 1942, he lost his case and had to pay his
ex a then-large sum of cash (more than $25,000).  The story was
carried by a number of newspapers, and in the court case, his real
name (Arthur E. Baird) was given along with his nom de radio, Craig
Earl.  And [removed] despite what must have been some bad publicity at
the time, he was still able to continue being Craig Earl and after a
hiatus, his career continued till he once again dropped from view.

Do any of you know anything about the life of Arthur E. Baird/Craig
Earl?  He seems to have died in western Mass. in 1985 under the Craig
Earl name but the date of birth matches Arthur E. Baird.  When
Professor Quiz finally ended in the late 40s, what happened to him
then?  And even if we know, how much can we believe?  8-)
