  The program had featured some of the biggest stars in Hollywood.

1941   The Great Gildersleeve, a spin off of Fibber McGee and Molly,
started on NBC.

1942   "Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Superman!"
Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound ... the caped crusader
returned to radio on the Mutual Broadcasting System. Superman had been
dropped from the program schedule earlier in the year, but the outrage
of youngsters brought the show back to the airwaves. Wow! The amazing
power of Kryptonite in the hands of kids! Bud Collyer, later of TV's
Beat the Clock, played Clark Kent aka Superman on the series.

9/1

This BBC radio drama by Terence Rattigan has been broadcast several times on
Radio Four, since it was written in 1975.  It does not appear to be available
from any BBC radio archive.  Does anyone know where to locate it, purchase
it, or listen to it?  Many thanks.

This Week's Classics & Curios Show:

"Echoes of Songs and Laughter"

Episode 184

EDDIE HUBBARD & THE BROWSERS: "I SAID MY PAJAMAS AND PUT ON MY PRAYERS"

More great big band music and trivia fun from Eddie and the Browsers,
this time from July 22, 1989. Featured performers are Art Van Damme and
his Quintet, Vic Damone, Bunny Berigan, Margaret Whiting and Frank
DeVol, Tommy Tucker, jazz guitarist Mary Osborne, and Harry James.

Some of the songs on the show are "Jeepers Creepers," "Cherry," "Deed I
Do," "Soft Lights and Sweet Music," "i Love Paris," "I Said My Pajamas
and Put on my Prayers," "It's All Over Now," "Penthouse Serenade," and
"Where or When."

You can compete with the Browsers on trivia challenges, such as "name
three vocalists who recorded "I'm Getting Sentimental Over You." Also,
name performers with three names like Jerry Lee Lewis; name three
performers named Victor; name the vocal groups with the bands of Bob
Crosby, Charlie Spivak, and Gene Krupa; name song titles with the famous
riff from "In the Mood" and the bands that recorded the songs (excluding
the Glenn Miller group); and name the great vintage TV comedy star who
played with the Charlie Spivak band (his photo is on the left as he
appeared on "Your Show of Shows" with Imogene Coca from 1950-1954).

Not so well known, at least to me, was Mary Osborne, so I thought I'd
include a bit of her bio by Richard S. Ginell at [removed], revealing
how remarkable she was: "Mary Osborne was a whiz of an electric
guitarist and a forthright, madly swinging, inventive player in whom one
can hear her original musical inspiration, Charlie Christian, as well as
the grace notes and humor of Les Paul. In addition, she was one of only
a handful of women in her day who were able to make a dent in jazz's
gender barrier, although she did not achieve the recognition that ought
to have been her due. Osborne was a versatile musician as a child,
playing the violin in a school orchestra and performing on violin,
guitar, bass, as well as singing and dancing, in a trio at age 15.
Having heard Charlie Christian play with Al Trent's band in Bismarck,
she decided to focus upon the electric guitar, on which she became one
of jazz's earliest exponents. She toured with a laundry list full of
bands -- Buddy Rogers, Dick Stabile, Terry Shand, Joe Venuti, and Russ
Morgan among them -- and with the encouragement of producer/critic
Leonard Feather, she recorded with Mary Lou Williams, the Beryl Booker
Trio, Coleman Hawkins, Mercer Ellington, Ethel Waters, and Wynonie
Harris. She was also featured on Jack Sterling's daily CBS radio program
from 1952 to 1960. Sometime later, Osborne settled with her husband in
Bakersfield, CA, where she continued to play gigs now and then. Yet she
remained a formidable guitarist late in life; in an appearance with
Lionel Hampton at the 1990 Playboy Jazz Festival, she virtually stole
the show. She can be heard to good advantage on the Williams and Booker
tracks of Bluebird's The Women: Classic Female Jazz Artists CD."

Subject:  "Uncle Jack's Kiddie Club"

MWOTRC has been contacted by a Maryland woman who seeks information about a
local Baltimore radio station program in which her grandmother performed as
"Little Mary Greeley, the Teen-Aged Ballad Singer." The show was "Uncle
Jack's Kiddie Club" and it was broadcast as a remote on Saturday mornings in
the 1930s from the stage of the Hippodrome Theater in downtown Baltimore, MD.

Ideally the woman would love to find an audio copy of a program on which her
grandmother appeared, but failing in that, would like to know more about the
program and its venue.

Any Digesters have any leads I could pass on to her?
