Subject:  Cinnamon Bear on radio and television

In response to Jan Bach's recent post, I thought it might be worth mentioning
that selected episodes of the television version of the Cinnamon Bear to
which Jan referred are available with Chuck Schaden's "Cinnamon Bear" book.
Information is available at the Nostalgia Shop at [removed].

And fans of the Cinnamon Bear are invited to tune in to "Radio's Golden Age"
at [removed] beginning Sunday, November 6, as we present the complete
26-part story between November 6 and December 18. We encourage everyone to
join us and "see" if our heroes find the Silver Star!

Today's Wall Street Journal has an interesting article on radio's influence on
Orson Welles' movies.  I especially like the comments about Welles'
appreciation for and love of sound and sound patterns -- I agree!

Hello,

a historian from an [removed] university asked me for help regarding Mildred
Gillars aka Axis Sally, as I did a radio documentary on her for German NPR a
few years ago. The historian is particularly looking for recordings - not
only of such propaganda shows like HOME SWEET HOME but also for news
recordings about the Mildred Gilars trial from 1949 (Gillars then was
convicted for treason).

Just in case anyboy from this list has got any idea where to find such
recordings or has got any in his or her own hands I'd be happy to hear from
you by mail:
blees@[removed] or at my [removed] account.

Best wishes
Christian

 From Those Were The Days

9/18

1927   The Columbia Broadcasting System was born on this day in 1927.
CBS broadcast an opera, The King's Henchman, as its first program.

1948   The Original Amateur Hour returned to radio on ABC, two years
after the passing of the program's originator and host, Major Bowes.
Bowes brought new star talent into living rooms for 13 years.

9/19

It was just an average day this day in 1932, when Just Plain Bill was
first heard on CBS. It was "The real life story of people just like
people we all know." The 15 minute show (Monday through Friday at 7:15
[removed]) was all about (just plain) Bill Davidson and his daughter, Nancy,
who lived in (just plain) Hartville. Since Bill was the town barber,
everybody came to him with their problems    and Bill helped them
straighten things out.

Instead of playing the usual organ, as a first, Hal Brown played
harmonica and whistled the Just Plain Bill introduction music (Darling
Nellie Gray). Hal also handled the closing theme (Polly Wolly Doodle) in
the same manner.

The show, created by Frank and Anne Hummert, who also came up with Mr.
Keen, Tracer of Lost Persons, Little Orphan Annie, Amanda of Honeymoon
Hill, Front Page Farrell, John's Other Wife, Mr. Chameleon, Our Gal
Sunday and many other radio dramas, later moved to NBC. Just Plain Bill
chalked up 23 years on the air, until 30 September, 1955. A few of the
Just Plain Bill sponsors over the years were Kolynos toothpaste and
Clapp's baby [removed]
