Subject: Re: SPIRIT RADIO SHOW
A friend who lives in Columbus sent me this info on the Spirit Radio Show
discs.
Roy, I talked to the OSU Cartoon Library staff, and wound up solving the
mystery with an unexpected result.
They indeed have a few transcription discs that are from the archives of Will
Eisner. They've been listed in their online inventory catalog for some time.
The library has four 16" discs. The labels call the show "THE ADVENTURES OF
THE SPIRIT" and have "copyright Will Eisner" printed on them, so they are
likely legally [removed] was pretty keen to protecting his material.
They were recorded by Columbia Electrical Transcription Service. They have ID
numbers, but not matrix numbers in the sense we think of them.
The first disc has the standard openings and closing spots, plus several
promotional spots. This one-sided standard disc was kept in house by stations
as a way of reducing the cost and possibility of error in recording the body
of each program. Many serialized shows did this; Lum & Abner, Betty and Bob,
and some of the early 1930s Macgregor & Sollie programs used this device.
There's a separated recorded closing spot for Fridays, indicating the shows
ran more freqently than once a week. So far, so good.
The other three discs each contain two stories, but curiously each side has
several bands of content.
[removed] STORY DISC #1 - "Dolan's Deadly Desk" and "Adventures of the Rubber
Mind" are broken into four bands/chapters.
[removed]
[removed] STORY DISC #2 - "Adventures of Carrion's Buzzard" (two parts);
"Adventures of Scalppel's Rock" and "Who Killed Cox Robbin" are broken into
three bands/chapters.
[removed]
[removed] STORY DISC #3 - "The Unknown Hand" (two parts); "The Optical Illusion"
and "The Great Tidal Wave" are broken into three bands/chapters.
AND [removed] REST OF THE STORY. These are NOT transcriptions for the radio
show. In 1948, a television producer named Allen Cartoun created a series of
five-minute television programs featuring the Spirit. Cartoun's name is
printed on the transcription disc labels, with the text "The Spirit is a
copyright feature of Will Eisner & is produced for television by Allen R.
Cartoun Associates." I researched his name and found an online blog by a guy
named Ken Quattro ("the Comic Detective") about the rumored Spirit radio
series. He didn't have the information from the Library, but we've made that
happen so the picture is now clearer.
Before you get too excited, the "shows" consisted of televising individual
panels from the comic strip, accompanied by prerecorded dramatizations by
radio actors. In other words, this was "Clutch Cargo" without the moving
mouths. What the library has are the soundtrack [removed] pretty
neat, but not quite the radio shows.
The stories mentioned above probably are derived from the following Spirit
Sunday inserts (Please correct if you can):
[removed] "Dolan's Deadly Desk" - 5/5/46 "The Head in the Desk"
[removed] "Adventures of the Rubber Mind" - 6/23/46 "The Rubber Mind"
[removed] "Adventures of Carrion's Buzzard" - 4/21/46 "The Case of the Balky
Buzzard"
[removed] "Adventures of Scalpper's Rock" - 5/19/46 "Carrion's Rock"
[removed] "Who Killed Cox Robbin?" - 8/4/46 "Who Killed Cox Robbin?"
[removed] "The Unknown Hand" - unknown
[removed] "The Optical Illusion" - 5/26/46 "Magnifying Glass"
[removed] "The Great Tidal Wave" - 6/2/46 "Tidal Wave"
There was indeed a Spirit syndicated radio show in the early 1940s, and
perhaps that's what your friend saw (although OSU has none of those discs).
What we can conclude about these TV show discs is that they had no
coordination with the actual printed comics printed when the shows
[removed] were based on 1946 stories, and televised in 1948.
The mention of a 16" disc certainly led everyone to assume it contained radio
shows. The folks at the library are excited to know what they have, and it
fits well into the Eisner chronology. The discs will be recorded for
preservation; hopefully, I can determine the names of the actors when I hear
them. OSU is all about copyright protection, particularly for donated material
from a high-profile collection as Eisners, so I wouldn't get too excited about
copies being released anytime soon. I suspect these won't be of that much
interest to radio collectors now that we've determined their nature. But at
least we've solved another mystery.
