From Those Were The Days
10/18
1922 As the British observed the wild growth of radio in the [removed],
they realized the potential of broadcasting in their own country, as
well as the need for its regulation. The British Broadcasting
Corporation (BBC) was established on this day to monitor the development
of the radio biz in Great Britain.
1943 The first broadcast of Perry Mason was presented on CBS. In the
15 minute (Monday-Friday) shows, Perry was played by Barlett Robinson,
Santos Ortega, Donald Briggs and John Larkin.

1937 "The freedom of the press is a flaming sword. Use it justly, hold
it high, guard it well." The radio classic, Big Town, made its debut on
CBS radio. Star reporters at the Illustrated Press, Steve Wilson and
Lorelei Kilbourne, were played by Edward G. Robinson and Claire Trevor.
Tell the Story was the theme song. Sponsors included Ironized Yeast
tablets and Lifebuoy soap.
10/20
1930 - One of the most memorable of all radio shows, "The Adventures of
Sherlock Holmes", was first heard on the NBC Red network. Its debut
entry, "The Speckled Band", featured William Gillette in the role of the
famous detective. Gillette introduced Holmes to New York audiences as
early as 1899 ... on the stage, not the radio, of course.
1932 - Journalist Robert Trout joined CBS. Trout became a household name
to CBS listeners -- and they later became loyal viewers of Trout on CBS-TV.
10/23
1932 - Fred Allen made his radio debut. His wife, Portland Hoffa, joined
him on the CBS radio broadcast. Allen's comedy-variety program was known
as "The Linit Bath Club Revue". It then became "The Salad Bowl Revue",
then, "The Sal Hapatica Revue", "The Hour of Smiles", "Town Hall
Tonight", "The Texaco Star Theatre" and finally, someone with just a bit
of sense, came up with "The Fred Allen Show". The comedic legend stayed
on radio for 17 years.
10/24
1929 The Rudy Vallee Show was broadcast for the first time on NBC.
Actually, the Rudy Vallee show had several different titles over the
years, all of which were referred to by the public as The Rudy Vallee
Show. Megaphone totin' Rudy and his Connecticut Yankees band were
mainstays on radio into the late 1940s.

Not sure if this appeared on the Digest recent, but Dr. Dale Luketich from
Morgantown, West Virginia, passed away on October 10 from a fatal heart
attack. Luketich was the host of SCIENCE FICTION THEATER, an old-time radio

Subject: Arthur Miller
[removed] King commented:
I haven't got the book in front of me but I think Bigsby is basing his claim
on a copy of the script found in Miller's papers. If Bigsby's wrong, the
joke's on him because he devotes a few paragraphs to quoting and analyzing it
as Miller's own work.
This is not surprising. I think every researcher of OTR will attest that archives and
collections of any writer, often contains work of other authors. Most authors of OTR
and vintage related media have scripts and books written by others, for various reasons.
Bigsby should have checked the cover of the script or the announcer sheets since all
CAVALCADE OF AMERICA scripts credit the author. They were also copyrighted at the
Library of Congress and looking up the card files on the fourth floor of the building,
anyone can see that the copyright registrations were submitted with authorship credit.
Robert L. Richards wrote for a ton of SUSPENSE episodes as well as CAVALCADE, and in the
late forties or early fifties, made the move to Hollywood where he began writing
teleplays for TV shows and screenplays for movies. I would be curious to know if Miller's
papers contain letters of correspondence. "Perhaps" a letter clarifies why Richards'
script was among his collection. "Perhaps" it was handed to Miller so he had a template
example of the format they wanted the scripts to be, so Miller could follow the
guidelines?
Off the side, this reminds me of a back story I forgot about. After my CAVALCADE OF AMERICA
book was in print, I met someone who was researching a similar subject and was apparently
in touch with Arthur Miller. He wanted an address to someone who did OTR and we agreed to
trade contact info because I wanted to interview Miller about his work on CAVALCADE. Who
knows? After giving the info to the author, sadly, they never gave me Miller's direct
contact info, citing the reason as respecting Miller's privacy. One of those cases where
the trade was one-sided and I never got to interview Miller about his work not just on
CAVALCADE, but other radio programs as well. And when I finally found his address in a
reference book, Miller passed away one week after I sent him my letter.

Subject: OTR Rebroadcasts
Someone asked:
How did CBS handle the usual West Coast rebroadcast that night? Most programs
at the time would have done a second live [removed] it not possible
that the variations relate to a second on-air performance plus a rehearsal?
My initial posting generated a number of private e-mails, most of them
very negative. I'll try to address them all (and the posting above) as briefly
as I can.
1. A lot of people "assume" that radio programs were performed twice on the
same evening, when broadcast "live", once for the East Coast and once for
the West Coast. Seriously, this is a general rule of thumb, but the fact is that
radio programs were dramatized in varied styles from one program to another.
Examples:
Pre-1945 episodes of INFORMATION, PLEASE were recorded so the transcription
would be played back for the West Coast. Asking the same guests the same
questions was not practical and the series was truly honest -- the guests did
not know the answers to the questions in advance. After February of 1945, the
series was broadcast live with a coast-to-coast hookup. So when it was broadcast,
say 10 pm Eastern time, it was heard at the same time as 7 pm West Coast time.
Thus there was no need to transcribe the recordings.
Ellery Queen was a bit different. Because their mysteries were also honest and
the guests had to solve the mystery, beginning January 8, 1942, the program was heard
twice a week instead of once a week, but on different days. Thursday on the
West Coast and Saturday on the East Coast. Hence, the mystery "The Eye Print"
featured Celeste Holm and Lee Dixon on May 6, 1943, Thursday night on the West
Coast, and Joan Caulfield and Richard Widmark on May 8, 1943, Saturday night
on the East Coast. Both had the same mystery drama.
When Bromo Selzter stopped sponsoring the program, Anacin took over, the program
moved to Wednesday night, and two guests were featured every evening -- one for the
East Coast broadcast, and one for the West Coast. For the broadcast of October 17,
1945, Jan Clayton appeared for the East Coast, Danton Walker for the West Coast.
(This is why, incidentally, when someone claims to have found a new Ellery Queen
episode, I don't always ask for the broadcast date, but the guest as [removed])
Beginning August 3, 1947, the series began rotating the guests. On that evening,
Fay McKenzie was the East Coast guest and Eddie Dowling was the West Coast guest.
The week after, August 10, 1947, Dowling was the East Coast guest since he was
only heard on the West Coast the week previous.
First Person Singular (the first nine broadcasts) and Mercury Theater was performed
three times. This is not uncommon, I've come across numerous radio programs that
were broadcast twice on Sunday and once on Monday evening, also for the NY radio
station that did not feature the program over their station on Sunday like most of
the East Coast.
2. I never said the War of the Worlds was dramatized on radio twice, I said that there
were two recordings and they are different when compared one by one and I
questioned whether CBS might have had the cast and crew redo the same drama soon after
so they could have a second recording available for legal reasons and wondered if
this is why there are two. Could it be a rehearsal? Sure. There are plenty of rehearsal
recordings from the Mercury Theater broadcasts but this also seems unlikely as many
recall Welles not being at the rehearsals all week.
3. (I'm surprised I have to answer this [removed]) Yes, there can be more than one version
of a radio broadcast in existence. Collectors discover this all the time. There are
two versions (East and West Coast) of a number of SUSPENSE broadcasts. The episode
"Community Property" is one example that's been floating about for a long while. There
are two versions of a number of WHISTLER scripts, and Alfred Hitchcock's pilot, known as
"Malice Aforethought" exists in two formats with two different casts. ONCE UPON A MIDNIGHT
and THE ALFRED HITCHCOCK PROGRAM. When collectors look at a recording and say "Malice
Aforethought? Yeah, I have that one [removed]" They might be surprised to know that they
might have overlooked a second version.
4. In reply to the posting above, It was performed again for the West Coast. Not a
transcription. Studio archive records were consulted to ensure whether or not a recording
was played back for rebroadcast on the West Coast versus the cast reprising the roles
twice. Also taken into consideration are time zones. There were many years during
the thirties and forties when Daylight Savings Time was not recognized in certain areas.
Circa 1941, Washington [removed] did not practice DST and their newspaper listings would cite a
program broadcats live at 8 pm when New York was 9 pm. (Sadly, people don't take this into
consideration, and is probably the main cause why some encyclopedias list the wrong time slot
when referring to all of the East Coast.)
On the happy side, I did get one nice e-mail asking for a copy of both recordings and I
am bringing them to FOTR so he can take them home and check for himself. He's one of the
few people who not only have an open mind (he asked for a copy of the recordings rather than
send ignorant e-mails to my hotmail account accusing me of something I didn't do) and knows
just what to look for when listening to the recording.

How did CBS handle the usual West Coast rebroadcast that night?
Dear tx-
That's exactly the issue we're already discussing.
Most programs at the time would have done a second live [removed]
Many, but not all.
Is it not possible that the variations relate to a second on-air performance
It is of course possible; that's why the matter's up for debate.
But to me, it's remarkable that concerning the most famous episode of one
of the most famous series in Network Radio history, the Mercury Theater on
the Air, there is not one - not one - remark to that effect in any of the
copius documentation of the subject (both printed, and recorded.)
And again - though granted, this is an old recollection - Bill Herz's
memory of this specific show, WOTW, is of leaving CBS and going to the
Mercury
Theater for a late stage rehearsal.
