that the man could do just about anything. He remaines our great

Lucille Fletcher, author of such SUSPENSE classics as "SORRY WRONG NUMBER",
"THE HITCHIKER" , and "FUGUE IN C MINOR" was an excellent mystery novelist
who continued writing up to 1980s. Two excellent novels by her that are
still available through used bookstores, ebay, etc are EIGHTY DOLLARS TO
STAMFORD(1975) and MIRROR [removed] are both Excellent page turners in
tradition of her radio work. I've read both these and they are well worth
the search for them. MIRROR IMAGE (If memory serves) concerns murders
aboard an Ocean Liner by the Ships Doctor of female passengers. The novel
oddly enough reminded me in vague way of the radio show CABIN B-13. I highly
recommend these to anyone who has enjoyed Lucille Fletcher's radio work.

May 25, 1943 East Coast Version
May 25, 1943 West Coast Version
August 21, 1943 >>
TUESDAY MAY 1943
EWT CBS WABC NEW YORK
7pm I LOVE A MYSTERY 7:15 Harry James
7:30 American Melody Hour 8:00 Lights Out 8:30 Al Jolson
8:55 Cecil Brown 9:00 Burns and Allen 9:30 SUSPENSE
__________________________________________________________
MWT KSL SALT LAKE
For correct MWT time subtract two hours from EWT (ie SUSPENSE airs at 7:30
)
except for the following :
9:00 I LOVE A MYSTERY 9:15 Harry James
____________________________________________________________
PWT KIRO SEATTLE
For correct PWT subtract three hours from EWT (ie Suspense airs at 6:30)
except for the following :
8:00 I LOVE A MYSTERY 8:15 Harry James 8:30 Lights Out 9:00 AL JOLSON
_______________________________________________________________
Considering the above radio logs we can figure that the only shows in which
there
appears to be a seperate performance for the western listeners were:
I LOVE A MYSTERY and HARRY JAMES (2nd show for Mountain and Pacific ) ,
LIGHTS OUT AND AL JOLSON ( 2nd show for Pacific only ) . Mountain stations
may have had the choice in regard to LIGHTS OUT as far as taking either the
6pm
or the 9:30 show. KSL took the 6pm .
Again the above logs indicate further proof that there is NOT a seperate
west coast show from MAY 1943 for SUSPENSE. As I stated in another post .
Radio logs from Seattle, Spokane , Portland , SanFransisico and Los
Angleles
all show 6:30 pm as the time slot for SUSPENSE during this period.
Even RADIO MIRROR of MAY 1943 lists the following air time for SUSPENSE-
9:30 EWT/8:30 CWT/6:30 PWT .
I do not see how given these facts that anyone can maintain that there is in
circulation from May 25, 1943 both an East Coast and West Coast version of
"Sorry Wrong Number".
One interesting tidbit however:
The next time Sorry Wrong Number was performed it aired on 8-21-43
Saturdays at 7:30 PM EWT . And you know what ? For the weeks it aired in
this time slot ( I think just two weeks in fact ) THERE WAS a second
performance for the
west coast for an 8PM PWT airing.

Subject: Re: Throckmorton Place
Greetings,
Yesterday Jim Amash said that:
In an interview with Hal Peary (not done by me), he related that the "P"
stood for "Place." He named the character Throckmorton P. because Hal
Peary's home address at that time was on Throckmorton Place.
I know there's an episode where Gildy gives another name for the "P', but I
don't recall what that was now.
In the book "Heavenly Days", co-authors Charles Stumpf and Tom Price write;
"Many of the characters he (Hal Peary) portrayed (on the Fibber McGee & Molly
program) had also been named "Gildersleeve". He had once been heard as
Widdicomb P. Gildersleeve, president of the Gildersleeve Baby Carriage
factory, and at other times was the manager of a girdle factory.
Finally, on October 17, 1939, Peary became the McGee's pompous neighbor,
Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve. The name "Throckmorton" came from the name of
the street on which the actor was living on in Chicago at the time. The
initial "P" reportedly stood for "Peary"."
The Fibber and Molly episode Jim referred to, is the October 22, 1940 program
"Gildersleeve's Diary" in which the Gildersleeve character confides to Molly
that the P stands for Philharmonic.
I've seen this question pop up before and there's never consensus on just
what the "P" in Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve stands for. I believe that, at
least on the FM&M show, the characters middle name was indeed
[removed] though when the character was created, the "P" came from
somewhere or something else.
Best wishes to all,
Jeff Davis

Not an impossible question, but the problem is that the clues given seem to
refer to three different actors. The villain in "Death from the Deep" was
not a foreign agent but an insane millionaire sportsman, and that character
is played by Paul Stewart. In the 1/16/38 episode "Sabotage" there IS a
foreign agent who is behind the destruction of ships, and that part is
portrayed by Stefan Schnabel. But the actor with the high-pitched voice who
appears often during the Welles season, usually plays villains, and does a
number of accents (including Chinese), is Alan Devitt.

Hi Mike:
I, of course, could not agree with you more. I did enjoy Amanda Blake as
Kitty on tv, but I always felt James Arness made Matt's character too
shallow. I suspect that is what the tv producers were looking for. Conrad
played Matt's character as if he were a capped volcano, who could easily
explode if provoked. But he also brought a tenderness to the character at
times. Arness did neither in his portrayal. I suspect that if CBS had
found an actor to portray Matt on tv the way that John Meston and Norman
McDonnel truly wrote him, the series would not have made it on tv. The
character of Matt has a rugged violence about him that, while easy to accept
when being heard, isn't as easy to choke down when being seen by the
American audience.
There are two episodes of radio's Gunsmoke that reflect what I'm talking
about. One is called, "The Meshouga." In this story, Matt and Chester
travel to a town, only to be taken hostage by a gang of bank robbers, who
have taken the entire town as captives. They begin executing them, one by
one, until someone names the man who killed the gang leader's brother.
Eventually, of course, Matt and Chester escape, but only after decapitating
one man with an axe and shooting many of the gang members while they are
drunk.
Another episode is called, "No Indians." In this, Matt and Chester fire on
a gang of unarmed men, after the gang kill and scalp land settlers to make
it look as if indians have done it. Of course, Matt kills them because he
is outnumbered and he must defend himself, but there is still an element of
cold-bloodedness about it. Neither of these scripts would have made it on
television and it's a perfect example of why the radio version is superior.
Sometimes the show could be chilling, brutal and merciless, but that was the
west.

What I enjoy are the unexpected surprises in an old-time radio broadcast.
A good example would be an episode of "Father Knows Best," in which Robert
Young alludes to President Truman's distress over a music critic's comments
about his daughter. It brought the house down.
Last night, I listened to the May 28, 1950, broadcast of "Our Miss
Brooks." At the end of the show, in character, Eve Arden announces her
summer replacement as an "up and coming young comedian" named Steve Allen.
That was real treat.
I'll add my favorite similar incident to this list. When people talk about
those OTR shows which age the best, one that is invariably mentioned is "The
Phil Harris/Alice Faye Show". One fine example of just how timeless this
show is can be found in the episode of October 31, 1948, in which Phil is
listing the candidates in the upcoming presidential election. One of those
names mentioned -- remember, this was 53 years ago -- was J. Strom Thurmond

Not quite exactly true. According to Jay's book, there are over
100 Bob Hope Shows in general circulation. I have at least 17
of those programs in my personal collection. I can't vouch for
quality - some may have been recorded off the air.
In fact, Hope *did* retain essentially all of his discs, beginning with
his first show for Pepsodent in 1938 and continuing thru the end of his
radio run. These recordings were locked away for years by Hope
Enterprises, specifically to prevent their being snuck out the back door
and into OTR circulation, since the company controlled the copyright on
the material and didn't want to see unauthorized copies floating around.
Hope's entire collection of discs has been donated to the Library of
Congress, and last I heard they were in the process of transferring and
cataloguing the materials. Hope Enterprises retains legal control of the
material and perhaps someday will either license the rights or market a
compilation itself.
In addition to Hope's own discs, there are a total of 395 Hope programs
-- either Hope's own shows or shows featuring him as guest -- in the NBC
collection at the LOC. NBC-New York began recording Hope's program off
the line from Hollywood and preserving the discs in the Central Files
with the broadcast of 3/10/42, although there are a few scattered Hope
shows in the collection prior to this date. This collection has a few
fits and starts -- it's missing a lot of material from 1943 and 1944, but
is nearly complete from January 1945 forward.

Subject: How did we get the copies we have today?
I was listening to a copy of Fibber McGee & Molly this morning (an episode
from 1935) and it got me thinking. How did we get the copies of programs
that we listen to today? Did some person set a microphone up next to the
radio speaker and record on a reel-to-reel? Were we luck enough to find a
copy made by the studio that produced these classics? I know that all of
the above probably apply at some point, but what was the most common method
of archiving these classics. I am mostly concerned with the early stuff, as
I realize that by the late 50's reel-to-reel recording was pretty common.
Did reel-to-reel even exist in the 30s?
I'd love to hear from any who were there or have first hand knowledge.

I believe it's the last show of the 1944/45 season, though
I don't have the date in front of me - late May or early June -
that Jack Benny has Fred Allen as his guest, and towards the
end of the show, Jack introduces his upcoming summer replace-

Paar comes on and does some dialogue with both Benny and

Isn't it amazing that two guys would independently come up with the same
questions about something as esoteric as a 55yr old radio show, produced by
inmates at San Quentin? I think your interpretation is correct. I vaguely
recall something about Gladys Duffy starting an "in house" radio show for the
cons, and I think that Clint, who had some important and powerful contacts in
the broadcasting world, took the idea, and the theme song, and 'sold" it as a
sustaining program to a small west coast net work via KFRC in San Francisco.
It wouldn't be the first time that some guy took his wife's idea and did
well! I tried to find my 1962 thesis, to see if KFRC was, indeded, the right
station, but I can't seem to find it right now. The station may have been
KSFO. My announcing chores were always in the East Bay (Oakland and
Berkeley), so I never got too familiar with the "big guys" across the Bay,
although some of the staffers from some SF stations were also members of the
SF Press Club when I was a member from 1963-1973.

Glen Schroeder asked,
Someone recently said that Bill Johnstone who played the Shadow and a lot of
other otr parts also played on As The World Turns. I know that As is a TV
show but my question is simply who did Bill Johnstone play on the soap opera
for all those years.
Information from "The Encyclopedia of Daytime Television" by
Wesley Hyatt:
William Johnstone played Judge James Lowell, from 1956
(the year the show began) all the way until 1979.
And of course he wasn't the only celebrated OTR vet to be
involved with ATWT:
--Don MacLaughlin, of "Counterspy," "Gangbusters" and a whole
raft of soap operas, played Chris Hughes from 1956 until 1986,
the year of his death.
--Santos Ortega, of many many character voices, played patriarch
Grandpa Hughes from 1956 until 1976, the year of _his_ death-
although it appears he did not originate the role, but took it over early on.
(MacLaughlin and Ortega had often worked on the same shows in OTR.)
--Les Damon, of "The Falcon" and other shows, played Jim Lowell
in 1956 and 57.
Also, Don Hastings, younger brother of OTR vet Bob Hastings, took
the role of Bob Hughes in 1960, and as far as I know is still playing
it. (Don wasn't in OTR apparently, but was involved in TV in its
early network days.)
I wouldn't be surprised if some of the other cast members in the
show's first decade were from OTR as well, though I don't recognize
the names right off.
