Subject:  Frank Lovejoy soundalike and Mary Livingstone

Hey gang;
         The actor with the voice that so closely
resembles Frank Lovejoy is named Frank Maxwell. He
appears as a bookie in an episode of "X MInus One" and
if you didn't know any better you'd think it was Frank
Lovejoy.
     For years he played "Jessie Brewer" and then
"Ruby Anderson's" love interest on "General Hospital,"
"Dan Rooney."

          The writers gave "Sadie Marx" her name and
Jack Benny used to joke that "after awhile I got so
used to calling her Mary Livingstone that I forced her
to change her name!" And I actually thought that she
was a salesgirl at the "May Company" and not something
that Jack's writers conjured up whenever they created
her character. They actually did a radio show and a tv
show that dramatized how Jack and Mary met whenever he
was waited on by a wise cracking clerk at the "May
Company." She was an extremely talented lady but she
definately had a "Jekyll" and "Hyde" personaility.
                                     And by the way,
there's a Jack Benny Show out there with Mary sidter,
Babe pinch hitting for her because Mary was sick and
her delivery was almost as good as her sisters.
                                       Goodnight All,
Rusty

Well, Bob, I'm not Jewish, but a lot of my friends are, and whether they
are "Marks" or "Marx", they never have a "Satyr dinner." A satyr is a
mythical, lecherous, woodland creature with horns.

What Jewish people do have is a Seder dinner (prounced nearly the same way)
which is part of their celebration of the First Day of Passover,
commemorating the exodus of the Jews from Egypt.

I've had that same feeling sometimes, particularly when I'm listening to the
monotonous closing theme music of one episode while waiting for the next one.

One technique I've used is to listen to the 5-parters as they were broadcast
-- that is, to only listen to one episode per day. I find that when I listen

Subject:  Re: V&S Recordings for Canada

Jim Beck wonders,

Were the Vic and Sade repeats from recordings? If they were, could any of the
recordings still be around?

The CBS rebroadcasts were live, but it's important to point out that the
series was also rebroadcast on a delayed basis in Canada for most of the
1940-44 period, and many of these recordings *do* survive. A great many
of the Procter and Gamble daytime shows were recorded off the network
line by the Compton Advertising Agency and sent north of the border,
where they aired a week or two behind the live broadcasts.

These made-for-Canada recordings can easily be identified by the deletion
of all or most of the musical themes and bridges, a deletion required
under union contracts with the American Federation of Musicians. Many of
the circulating Vic and Sade programs originated from such discs, and
occasionally a bit of sloppy fading by the recording engineer allows a
few notes of the music to seep thru.

The vast majority of these discs, not just for V&S but for most of the
other programs recorded in this manner were destroyed immediately after
use -- as was required under the terms of the contracts under which they
were made. It's rather amazing that as many have survived as did.

Canada could be a fertile source for transcription-hunters, given how
much US programming was carried there by recording during the OTR period.
Having recently found positive documentation that the serial version of
"Amos 'n' Andy" was carried in Canada by recordings from 1940 thru 1942,
I've made many inquiries with hopes of turning up a long-lost cache of
discs, but no luck so far.

Subject:  Marx leave their Marks

Joe Postove correctly pointed out that, in how Jack Benny met Mary
Livingstone,

It was a Passover SEDER dinner where they met, although with the Marx
Brothers there, I suppose it could have been a  "Satyr" dinner as well.

In response to Bob Noble's observation,

had been invited to a Satyr dinner there

Well, Harpo was the Satyr of the Marx Brothers.  And Chico was pronounced
"chick-oh" rather than "cheek-oh" because he liked the ladies.  Once when
Groucho was on an airliner, in those days when one could smoke on them,
he was told that although usually smoking was restricted to cigarettes,
but he could smoke his cigar as long as he didn't annoy the ladies.  He
replied, "No thanks, I'd rather annoy the ladies."

So it indeed could have been a Satyr dinner, even as Joe P. speculates.

Subject:  A Shadow of The Shadow

Scott Eberbach melds the threads on The Shadow and detectives by
discussing,

As for the detective shows there seem to be at least three sub-genres
within that realm. Those of the hard-boiled school such as Philip
Marlowe, Sam Spade, The Fat Man, et al.  The next are the puzzle solvers
such as Sherlock Holmes, Ellery Queen, and few others.  Last the
procedural detective shows such as Dragnet, Gangbusters ....

And of course, particularly in its later Bret Morrison years, Mr.
Eberbach characterizes,

The Morrison broadcasts are the least of my [removed] though he
played the role the longest the stories become more pedestrian detective
fare with supernatural trappings.

... thus blending it into the detective stories that have been discussed
before.  However, if The Shadow becomes The Shadow, Detective, would he
be characterized as Puzzle Solver, Hard Boiled, or Procedural?

Really, none of the above.  The Shadow couldn't be considered hard boiled
because he has none of the trappings or attitude (though he could be more
implacable than the toughest PI: a Morrison episode, "Reflection of
Death," leads the listener to no other conclusion than that The Shadow
killed the villain outright, without judge or jury -- or even a
struggle).  He can't be classified as Puzzle Solver, since his deductive
skills are underplayed.  And he certainly isn't Procedural, just on the
way the stories are structured.

Another detective story series that falls outside the three basic types
of detective stories is my guilty pleasure, Mr. Keen, Tracer of Lost
Persons.  He's not procedural, puzzle-solver, or hard-boiled (though he
does rely Mike Clancy to provide muscle when necessary).  Many of his
"solutions" come from wild coincidences and baseless hunches.

Speaking of The Shadow broadcasts starring Morrison,

This is not to take anything away from Morrison as he was a fine actor
and an accomplished voice [removed] the scripts were not as good.

They weren't.

One thing I do like about these shows is they have a very polished
sound to them. More so than the earlier broadcasts.

Would that we could have heard Morrison and company tackle one of the
earlier scripts!

Subject:  The Shadow -- Spiderboy (11-11-45)

Hi Gang -                   July 31, 2001 -  Tuesday - 6 PM cdt

In issue 246, Stephen Jansen inquired:
 "Does THE SHADOW Stink?  ...  have I just been missing
  the good episodes?  ... Could some of you big Shadow fans
  list a few of the great Shadow episodes for me?"

When I was much younger, l Iistened to The Shadow every week.
Most of the broadcasts were really scary.  One program, "Spider Boy"
(11-11-45) scared me more than any other radio show.

Many years later (1960's) I added a recording of "Spider Boy" to my
collection.  When I played it I found that although this was the same
show that I had heard in 1945, it was not scary at all.

I concluded two things from this observation:

1.  I was 8 years old when I heard the program the first time, and
     8 year-old kids scare easier than 23 year-old men.

2.  64 year-old men in the year 2001 are not as niave 8 year-olds
     or 23 year olds, either.

The world has changed a lot since 1945.  The audience of 2001 is
more sophisticated than the audience of 1945.  Yet, if you want
to hear what I still consider to be a "Great" Shadow episode, check
out "Spider Boy".   It's an interesting concept.

One more [removed]  If you listen to a program such as The Shadow
one program a week over the course of 70 weeks, it makes more
of an impression than if you listen to 10 Shadows in a row every day
for one week.

Donna Halper asks:
Do any of you know of such "vox pop"
shows during radio's golden age?

Not truly one of public opinion but in Cincinnati in the early forties,
there was a show called "Travel Time."  Paul Hodges would be at the railway
station (Union Terminal) interviewing people asking them if they were
arriving or leaving, and eliciting more detail from them concerning their
travels.

It kind of offered some degree of glamor with cash strapped Americans who
dreamed of travel. The show was very folksy but most interesting to listen to.

They were out of town and Zeppo knew this family named Marks (note it's
spelled differently and they are not related) and had been invited to a
Satyr dinner there. He told Benny Kubelsky that the family's beautiful
daughter was a big fan of his. When they got there, Benny discovered the
daughter was all of 12 years old, but she was still a fan.

  I don't want to make too much of this slip but a Sedar is the Jewish
Passover meal, very solemn, recalling the flight from Egypt when Moses
led his people out.  A Satyr is a sylvan diety of Greek mythology having
characteristics of a horse and found of revelry, and is also used to
describe a lecherous man.  (Its also a butterfly).
  The idea of an adult Jack Benny meeting a 12 year old girl at a Satyr
dinner boggles the mind!  :)

Subject:  Goodman Ace on X Minus One (?)

Hi Gang -               July 31. 2001 - Tuesday - 7 PM cdt

In issue 247, W. Gary Wetstein's posting about Goodman Ace
reminded me of something I heard in the mid 1950's.

Back then I was recording "X Minus One" off the air.   This was
one way I built my collection.   One of the programs "The Cave
of Night" dealt with "first man in space" and recordings of his
messages from space.  You probably know the story.

At the end of the story, the reporter erased the "evidence", ie, he
erased the tape from space.  The sound-effect for this was a high
speed re-wind of something.   I wanted to know what the "something"
was.

I slowed down my recording and played it backwards.  It sounded like
Goodman Ace.   There were only a few sentences, and the speed
was unstable.  Of course it had nothing to do with the X Minus One
program.  Apparently the engineer/sfx man had an Easy Aces tape
handy and rewound that tape when the script called for it.

Did anybody else try this?   Does it sound like Goodman Ace?
Maybe I was the only "digester" with time on my hands in 1956.

I still like to "decipher" strange sounds in radio/TV/movies (like
Morse code messages and "natives" talking backwards).  Some
of these are humorous and interesting.  Others (like Goodman Ace)
are unexpected.

I agree with Anthony that Welles couldn't master the

Readick was dubbed in as well as in the opening and closing signatures of the
show. BTW do any of the shows with Frank Readick exist other than the opening
and closing signatures?  <<SNIP>>
Some favorites are Murder From The Grave, The Gibbering Things, The Shadow
Challenged, and The Mystery Of Madman's [removed] are quite a number of
others too.

***Interesting that you should mention "The Shadow Challenged."  (I like it
too.)  While none of the 1930-35 Readick SHADOWS are known to exist, Frank
Readick did return to the series to portray the evil Shadow doppelganger in
"The Shadow Challenged."  He seems to be holding back a bit, however,
probably to allow his good friend Bill Johnstone to shine in the lead.  (Bill
and Frank rented an apartment near the radio studios with Dwight Weist, in
which they could retreat for their various hobbies (model trains, woodworking
and photography, as I recall) between East Coast productions and West Coast
repeats.

And you're right, Marjorie Anderson died of throat cancer, not in a car
accident.  BTW, I've always felt that Marjorie Anderson and Margot Stevenson
were the best Margot Lanes.  Agnes was a bit too effected in the role (great
character actress but ingenues were not her most-natural type of role).  I've
always felt Lesley Woods was a bit too wooden at times as Margot.  Trudy
Warner was a superb radio actress but regrettably only one of her SHADOWs is
known to survive (and she portrayed Margot in nearly 300 shows, more than any
other actress).

There *was* a WCBS on the air during these years -- it had gone on the air

the station changed its call letters to WCVS, and CBS grabbed up the old
WCBS letters for itself. WABC officially became WCBS on 11/1/46, still
operating at 880.

NBC had a similar "problem" because there was already a station with the
call WNBC in -- appropriately enough -- New Britain, Connecticut.  I have no
idea how NBC got the call sign away from that station (which happened at
about the same time as the WCBS switch), but the story gets a little weird.
Not long after the WNBC stations changed their calls to WRCA in the 1950s,
NBC took advantage of a new FCC rule and bought a UHF station in New
Britain, so what better place to "park" the WNBC call, right?  (It gets even
stranger.  NBC gave up on the UHF TV business in the late 1950s and sold
that station, but a few years ago they took advantage of *another* new FCC
rule and bought it back!)

NBC's TV station in Los Angeles also switched its call, from KNBC to KRCA,
at about the same time.  (NBC "parked" the call sign at its San Francisco
radio station.) The KRCA call is now held by another Los Angeles-area TV
station, in Riverside.

(Does anyone have any idea why it took so long for ABC to grab the WABC call

Have you ever listened to a radio drama that made you cry?

I listen to 5 or 6 hours of drama a day, mostly OTR but occasionally newer

I had to pull off the road, where I sat transfixed for the next 20

The program was an Adventures In Odyssey produced about 1996.  So why am I

Parley Baer portrayed the main character, a WWII vet who refused to accept
medals for bravery because he saw himself as a coward.  This may have been
one of his last dramatic performances and it's one of the most powerful
stories I've ever heard on radio.

Wouldn't it be great if we could let him know how much we have appreciated

longer carries recorders and I was told the company is going to , or has
already, dropped the line because of slow sales. And minidiscs don't tie up
computers. I can listen to my program being recorded on minidisc while I am
working on my computer, as I am now.

Concerning the recent posts about this show, if anyone is interested,
there is a poll on the "best shadow episodes" at: [removed] It looks
like a new poll as there are relatively few shows currently listed at
this time.  Dan

Subject:  Queen For a Day

This was sent to me--can anyone help?
"Can anyone help me locate a specific show 'Queen For A Day' that was
broadcast on March 8th, 1948.  My friends mother, Iva Jensen, just
passed away this week at the age of 85 and was Queen For a Day on
that date on the radio show.  He has her silver wand, a crown broach,
various certificates and photos, and even the actual dress she wore
on the show.  I know he would be thrilled to receive this broadcast
if I can find it for [removed] it or any exist anymore.
Thank you
Dee
