    Hi Everybody,

    Patricia and I just interview Dick Judge for our radio show.  I was
    wondering how many old time dealers we still have in the business that
    started in the 1970s?  Please let me know.  Take care,

    Walden

    1932   CBS presented the first broadcast of Buck Rogers in the 25th
    Century. Matt Crowley, Curtis Arnall, Carl Frank and John Larkin played
    Buck in the serial over the years (1932 1947).

    1937   Dr. Christian debuted on CBS. Jean Hersholt played the part of
    the kindly, elderly Dr. Christian who practiced on the air until 1954.
    Laureen Tuttle, Kathleen Fitz, Helen Kleeb and Rosemary De Camp played
    his nurse, Judy. The Dr. Christian theme song was Rainbow on the River.
    Sponsors of the show included Vaseline (petroleum jelly, hair tonic and
    lip ice).

    1938   The first broadcast of This Day is Ours was heard on CBS. Eleanor
    McDonald, played by Joan Banks and later by Templeton Fox, had all kinds
    of problems. Her child was kidnapped, she lost her memory, helped a
    friend find a killer, etc. The soap opera ran for two years.

    11/9

    1948   This is Your Life debuted on NBC. Ralph Edwards hosted the radio
    show for two years before it moved to that other medium.

    11/10

    1950   Monty Woolley starred as The Magnificent Montague, which debuted
    on NBC.

    11/12

    1932   The National Broadcasting Company opened its new studios at Radio
    City in New York City. They celebrated with a gala program at Radio City
    Music Hall.

    1938   Kate Smith sang God Bless America for the very first time. It
    would later become her signature song. Irving Berlin penned the tune in
    1917 but never released it until Miss Smith sang it for the first time
    on her radio broadcast.

    1940   The chant, "invovo legem magicarum," was heard for the first time
    when Mandrake the Magician debuted on WOR in New York City.

    Norman,

    If you haven't already donated them, you might contact your local public
    library about donating the collection to them. Is there a public radio station
    where you live. Perhaps, if you talked to them, they might also accept the
    collection. They might even use it as the basis for a series of old time radio
    programs.

    Best wishes,
    Steve

    1921   KYW radio, Chicago, IL broadcast the first opera by a
    professional company. Listeners heard Samson Et Dalila as it was being

    (If it hadn't been for Tell there would have been no opera, if there had
    been no opera there would have been no overture, if there had been no
    overture the Lone Ranger wouldn't have had the theme music we know. <g>
      ed)  (That's a joke son, I say that's a joke).
