According to Ron Sayles, Roger Bower, announcer on "Can You Top This?", and
many other shows, died on May 17, 1979.  Mr. Bower was Dick Bertel's guest
on "The Golden Age of Radio" in August, 1973. You can hear this interview
and excerpts from some of his work, plus dozens more radio and big band
personalities on "The Golden Age of Radio" and "A One Night Stand with the
Big Bands" with Arnold Dean, as heard in the 1960s and 1970s on WTIC in
Hartford, CT. Tune in at [removed] - no charge, no

Subject:  Jack's Big Music Show

My daughter pointed out that Jack's Big Music Show on the Noggin network has
far too many Jack Benny references to be coincidental:
1) The star is Jack
2) His best friend is Mary
3) Their friend is Mel
4) The vocal stylings of the Schwartzman Quartet
5) They sang a song about their "Uncle Benny from Waukegan."
Although it is unlikely many toddlers will get the references, sharp-eyed
26-year old mothers like my daughter Katie enjoy them.
Nice to know Benny lives!

For those of you keeping [removed]

Season Three of FATHER KNOWS BEST is due for release in June. I have the first
two seasons and the company has made sure to include bonus extras with each
set. The third season offers three radio broadcasts of FATHER KNOWS BEST.
Since most of the extras on the DVD sets have come from the Robert Young
estate, I am "assuming" that the radio programs also come from the same
source. Whether they do or do not, here's hoping there will be newly
circulating recordings of the radio program!

Subject:  Shadow & Green Hornet Fans ...

May want to note that the May Radio Spirits catalog has new Shadow and Hornet
collections.

The shadow collection features two new "Discovered" episodes: "The Mark of
the Bat" and "Witch Drums."

The Green Hornet set indicates that it has 20 unreleased episodes. I didn't
recognize most of the titles (or the stories suggested by the titles) but I
did recognize a few, like Paroled for Revenge and One for the Books, but the
rest may well be not in general circulation. I think I'd have remembered a
plot like "Dope versus the war effort," or "Mystery in the Dentists Office,"
- but then everyone who buys MP3 collections, knows how some of the names get
changed around.

And nope, this isn't an overt ad for RS, just passing this along to fellow
Shadow and Hornet fans.

consider checking it out.  It's altogether possible that "Heavenly Days" might

 the script

It was good to learn that one of the new medical dramas CBS will be bringing
to the airwaves for the 2009-2010 season is titled "Three Rivers."  Could we
hope that Nurse Judy will answer the phone there with "Dr. Christian's
office" perhaps?

Subject:  Ray Bradbury, George Burns & Marlene Dietrich

As a teenager back in the 1930s, sci-fi author Ray Bradbury was a
hard-core autograph hound, sneaking into Hollywood studios and accosting
famous people on the street. In 1991 he wrote a nostalgic piece for Life
magazine about some of his adventures involving George Burns and Marlene
Dietrich. Since it is fairly long for posting in the OTR Digest and
includes a couple photos, I put the article on my website.

Disney fans are shedding lotsa Mouske-tears over the recent passing of cartoon
voice artist Wayne Allwine at the age of 62 from complications of diabetes.
The obits said he was the third "official" voice of "Mickey Mouse" after
inheriting the role in 1977 from Disney SFX man  Jimmy MacDonald, who, in
turn, was hand-picked by the mouse's originator, "Uncle Walt" himself. Pop
culture blogger Mark Evanier did mention at [removed] that Stan
Freberg once voiced Mickey on a 1955 children's record and that Hal Smith
(later of "Adventures in Odyssey" fame, I might add) also did some low-profile
stints as The Mouse.

I'd like to know if Walt Disney did the voice of his famous rodent on the
1930s "Mickey Mouse" radio programme. Or did he have an occasional stand-in?
Youth wants to know.

Come to think of it: maybe it's a good thing that back in the OTR era Disney
was NOT the mega-corporate multi-media conglomerate it is today. Can you
imagine "Walt Disney Presents The Voyage of the Scarlet Queen"?

See you real soon--

Derek Tague

Subject:  new Green Hornet stories

This might interest some of you: Moonstone Comics has acquired the rights to
publish new prose stories featuring the Green Hornet and Kato. Authors
include several well-known writers, including Harlan Ellison and Max Allan
Collins. ([removed])

One thing that bodes well: according to this site
([removed];Number=535924), the
owner of Moonstone is a fan of the character in every medium, and has
listened to the entire radio show several times. So perhaps we'll get
something faithful to the character's roots. (Much more so, I'm sure, than
whatever version of the movie is now in the works.)

I don't expect a revival of the short story as a widely read medium any time
soon, but it would be nice if an experiment like this could be both
artistically and financially successful.
