    Subject:  Truman Bradley on Friday

    Just dropping a friendly note that I'll be a guest on Neal Ellis and Ken
    Stockinger's LIVE SHOW on the evening of Friday, September 9. The two
    subjects of the night are TRUMAN BRADLEY. Truman Bradley, for those who keep
    thinking the man is familiar, was the commercial pitchman for the Roma Wines
    commercials on SUSPENSE, and the voice you hear on GEORGE BURNS AND GRACIE
    ALLEN and JACK ARMSTRONG, THE ALL-AMERICAN BOY (among others). If you did not
    know he invested his radio salary on a cosmetics firm, or that he had
    multiple wives, you're in for a treat when you discover the behind-the-scenes
    biography about Bradley. We'll talk about SCIENCE FICTION THEATRE, the
    television program he hosted, and Fred Ziv, who syndicated the program (as
    well as THE CISCO KID and BOSTON BLACKIE.)

    We will talk briefly about the Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Convention (pre-paid
    attendance is twice of last year's!) which is held Sept. 22 to 24, including
    the selection of radio re-enactments of "lost" episodes (INNER SANCTUM this
    year) and play the audio from Joel Blumberg's interview with actress Marsha
    Hunt, from last year's event. Remember, Marsha Hunt was Blanche Bickerson for
    a time when Frances Langford was unavailable, so you'll hear a fascinating
    interview about her screen and radio career!

     From Those Were The Days -

    9/5

    1938   The NBC Red network broadcast Life Can Be Beautiful for the first
    time. The program was "an inspiring message of faith drawn from life."
    The program aired until 1954.

    9/6

    1920   The first prizefight broadcast on radio featured Jack Dempsey
    knocking out Billy Miske in the third round of a bout in Benton Harbor,
    MI. Radio station WWJ in Detroit was the station that fight fans were
    tuned to.

    9/8

    1935   The Hoboken Four, featuring Frank Sinatra as lead singer,
    appeared on Major Bowes Amateur Hour on WOR. The group won the
    competition held at the Capitol Theatre in New York City.

    1944   Ed Wynn resumed his radio career after seven years off the air.
    Wynn starred in Happy Island on the NBC Blue network.

    9/9

    1926    the National Broadcasting Co. (NBC) was created by the Radio
    Corp. of America.

    1946   Ben Alexander hosted Heart's Desire for the first time, a
    giveaway contest program on the Mutual Broadcasting System.

    9/10

    1935   "I'm Popeye the sailor [removed]" toot! toot! Popeye was heard for
    the first time on NBC. The show was based on the Elzie Crisler Segar
    comic strip, which featured Popeye, Olive Oyl, Brutas, Wimpy and
    Sweepea. Now, eat your spinach in celebration!

    Maybe I missed it in the digest, but didn't see any mention of the
    passing of Stetson Kennedy who died about a week ago. Kennedy was known
    as a man who fought racism by going inside the Ku Klux Klan and then
    revealing some of their secrets of the Klan's rituals which was parodied
    in the the radio Superman episode series "The Clan of the Fiery Cross."

    Subject:  Shadow movie

       Recently ran across The Invisible Avenger on Retrovision.  It was
    made in 1958 (for about $[removed] I think).  Some may like it, others
    won't, like most films made from radio shows.  There's no Margo Lane, as
    in the pulps, but there is a teacher of Oriental mysticism who is
    Cranston's mentor and close friend.
       The Shadow is able to make himself disappear and cast a shadow on a
    wall, etc.
       It's about an hour long and appears to be have been more of a failed
    pilot for a Shadow tv show.  (There was another in the early '50s that
    was a failed pilot that is floating around the net as well, for forget
    the name, much less the url.)
