  "The Stranger" is actually from 1946.  Welles is an escaped nazi war
criminal who assumes a new identity in a small Connecticut town following
World War II.  Edward G. Robinson is cast as a government agent who is
tracking him down.  (Yes, that came straight off the back of the box)  I got
it as a two tape set with Welles' 1963 production of Kafka's "The Trial."
They are both quite excellent.  The best part is that they came from the
bargin bin of one of my local warehouse electronics store.

Since we have some of the UK contingent on line re WW2 I thought
I'd ask about the expression "jerry-built".
That's all.

I have several of the Bradbury 13 tapes buried in a closet.  I
think there are about 6 or 8 tapes but maybe fewer than that.
I do remember that The Veldt is one.  Also A Sound of Thunder.
There's one about an exploded starship but I don't recall the
name of it.  It's a really good story.

If anyone is interested, contact me by private email.

Hey All:
	I had the good sense at the age of 16 to record all of the
Bradbury 13 episodes in Hi-Fi with Dolby noise reduction as they were
broadcast.  I am a huge fan of Suspense.  Anyone who has Suspense, would
like Bradbury 13, and would not care to discuss the intricacies of
copyright law in the digest, please feel free to contact me by private e-mail.

Remember to hang by your thumbs.

consumer DATs make *that* means totally unsuitable for old time radio as
we currently know it.
Really? I wonder why? I am contemplating switching over to dat for
archival purposes.
here are a few points that I think may make this a good medium.
First, a 180 meter dat will run for 6 hours at the slower long play
mode.
For old time radio, and most off air applications, this is perfectly
good.
The tapes can be had for under $[removed] a piece. You can store 2 6-hour
reels, since you can use both tracks as mono tracks with no compromising
of quality.
Also, the copy protection is meaningless if you do an audio to audio
transfer with little loss.
If you _do_ want to do a digital transfer, you are allowed one from an
original digital source.
You can therefore make one clone from your digital original.
Also, there are boxes that strip out the scms codes.
So, again, I'd like to know what's wrong with dat as an archive source?
I rather like the idea of 2 large 7-inch reels sitting on 1 dat.
The collection that sits in a bunch of shelves could fit into a box.

<<While we're playing otr trivia - how about trying to identify some otr themes

when Rossini's The William Tell overture is played, but how many of us know that
many of the musical bridges come from Lizst's Les Preludes?

Mr. Keen, Tracer of Lost Persons - the theme is Noel Cowards Someday I'll Find
You.

Prokofiev's march from Love for Three Oranges was the theme for The FBI in Peace
and War

And Richard Strauss's Ein Heldenleiben (A Hero's Life) - I think it was the
theme from Mr. District attorney.

How about some more?>>


The theme for The Shadow is from Camille Saint-Saens' "Le Rouet d'Omphale"
(Omphale's Spinning Wheel).

There is a pirated LP of a 1939 Opry show out there, called "Grand Ole You
Know What," featuring Roy Acuff, Uncle Dave Macon and George D. Hay. It's the
Prince Albert NBC half hour; fair sound, but outstanding content. Ironically,
I'm listening to WAM and the Friday Night Opry as I type this.

Message-ID: <960217004303_324672873@[removed]>

    From the Internet Movie Database ([removed]) I found
the following info: 
                                
Cathy Lewis

Actress
       1. "Hazel" (1961) .... Deidre Thompson (1961-1965)
       2. Devil at 4 O'Clock, The (1961) .... Matron
       3. Party Crashers, The (1958) .... Mrs. Nickerson
       4. "My Friend Irma" (1952) .... Jane Stacy (1952-1953)

Note: the titles that start with a quote (") are TV series.

Date of death (location/cause)
     20 November 1968,  died of cancer in Hollywood at age 50.

I'm assuming, of course, that  the "Kathy Lewis" that Bill Scherer mentioned
from Suspense is the "Cathy Lewis" who co-starred on My Friend Irma.  Wasn't
she married to Elliot Lewis, or have I got her confused with someone else?

I've wondered that, too.  I've heard the Space Patrol theme music on two 
occasions unrelated to Space Patrol, but both had to do with aviation.  
One was during a feature on gliding that I think was shown on Howdy 
Doody.  

The other was several years after Space Patrol was off the air.  I was in
seventh grade and, by coincidence, had just had an unusually vivid dream
of Space Patrol returning to the air.  And that morning, in homeroom, I
talked about the dream to one of my friends.  

That afternoon, in junior high science club, we saw a film about
helicopters.  And at the end, the Space patrol theme played while the film
credits were running.  I looked across the room at my friend, and he gave
me a look that showed that he recognized the music, too.  And after we had
been talking about Space Patrol that morning. 

I've also wondered about the Tom Corbett theme music.  I've heard it on a 
couple of occasions unconnected with Tom Corbett.  I heard part of it 
played by one of the bands passing by the reviewing stand in the 
inaugural parade for President Eisenhower's second inauguration in 1957 
(My father had it on TV when I got home from school.).  More recently, I 
heard part of the Tom Corbett march as background music to a British 
newsreel showing troops marching during World War II.  This was an 
excerpt shown on A&E's "Biography" program in their biography of the 
Queen Mother.  I suspect it's a British military march, but I can't 
identify it better than that.

I have a friend who claims that at the time Fibber McGee and Molly went to 15
minute shows,  the Great Gildersleeve did also. It was not successful and
lasted only one season; then went back to a 30 min format. 

Can anyone confirm that?  If true, what were the dates and are copies of the
15 min shows available and where.

Thanks, Vern

Hello All,

My name is Harry, I'm 36 years old, and have been employed as a 
Manufacturing Coordinator for a wheelchair manufacturer in [removed] Ohio 
for the last 14 years. 
I just wanted to drop a note saying what a great find this newsletter 
has been. I actually came acrossed it a couple of weeks ago while 
searching for sites regarding amateur radio. After downloading a few 
back issues of OTR digest my interest was peaked, and a search for OTR 
programs began locally. I've been able to assemble about 100 programs 
using the resources in my area. Also I found that WSAI in Cincinatti 
broadcasts OTR programs weeknights at 11:05, however even with my 
SR-III, reception is marginal to my home near Cleveland.
So as you can see I'm rather green as far as the hobby goes, and have 
several questions.

1.) Any of your suggestions for favorite OTR resources,(tapes, books, 
anything at all) ?
2.) Anyone local to the Northeastern Ohio area that can help with info 
on stations they're having good luck receiving.
3.) Would also enjoy hearing about how some of you became involved with 

OTR. For me, radio has been a joy. The lack of creativity, and 
overemphasis on special effects found in much of todays televised 
media, rather than good story telling, and the ability to create 
pictures visible only to the minds eye have been the catalyst.

Other interests here are amateur radio, shortwave listening, scanning, 
collecting old radios, photography, archery & handcrtafting all of my 
bows and archery equipment.

Any other amateurs out there ? I'd enjoy chatting with you over the 
air. Send e-mail and we'll set a sched.


Good luck, Good health, and Good listening to all,

Harry/KB8JXF
