Roby McHone  writes:

I think you may be talking about the programs  aired to
our troops overseas.  The commercials were removed for  broadcasting by 
AFRTS and patriotic  bits along with USAFI  and  Savings Bond ads were inserted 
to fill in the commercials spaces and to  make  the programs closer  to 
their half-hour or quarter-air original  length with [removed];

from kathy:
while living in japan i listened to the far east network (fen) broadcast by 
 armed forces radio from march 1957 to august 1960.   
there were also many segments on the history of the united states - most of 
 them concerning our military history.

Subject:  The Big Show "lost" episodes

I'm finishing an article about the "lost" episodes of THE BIG SHOW, hosted by
Tallulah Bankhead, and while it appears every episode from the first season
(1950-1951) exist in recorded form, only five episodes from the second season
(1951-1952) is known to exist. September 30, 1951, October 21, 1951, October
28, 1951, November 18, 1951 and January 27, 1952. Does anyone have any
episodes in their collection other than these five? I'm looking to see if
there are any in collector hands dated beyond September 30, 1951, that most
of us are not aware of? Please let me know off the digest. I'd like to make
sure that the episodes I feature in the article are truly "lost" episodes.
Many thanks in advance,
Martin

On the was a labor of love. I suggest that every one who has the book
and find out about te book.

1]  Dunning acknowledge his panel of expert "To the seven who read the
manuscript and made it a better book by far than it might have been.
      I'm sure you will know the expert. And  gives credit wife for her
part.

2] an inexpressive list of credit OTR actors, writers and other who also
took part in contributed To the first and the second book. There are
hundreds.

Dunning was striving for perfection or as near as he could get to it.
Thank You John Dunning for a great  reverence Encyclopedia

Subject:  DUFFY'S TAVERN rarities

If anyone reads this before Monday night, I was invited to be a guest on
Radio Once More ([removed]) Monday evening, discussing DUFFY'S
TAVERN. And if we can pull out enough rare recordings before then, you'll
hear Ed Gardner doing DUFFY'S TAVERN for a variety show, a year before the
FORECAST audition of 1940. We'll be playing some rare clips, including a
"lost" Frank Sinatra appearance on DUFFY'S, Gardner's mistake in skipping
rehearsals on Al Jolson's program and "reads" his lines over the air, and a
recording that has not one, not two, not three, but five celebrities make a
guest appearance at Duffy's Tavern in the same broadcast! Some rare gems you
probably never heard before.
Martin
