    Subject:  Obsolete & Not-So-Obsolete

    After another internet look, I found that Ipana Toothpaste is now being
    manufactured & sold in national drug stores.  Supposedly, it left the
    shelves in the 1980's & is back.    Bromo Seltzer is still being
    manufactured & sold - I can't find that it ever stopped.  Richard Hudnut
    (long deceased) introduced the DuBarry Line of Cosmetics, which is still
    being sold.  One ad  about Dubarry Cosmetics states,  "The conservative
    clientele of Alexander Hudnut's drug store were among the world's wealthiest
    women". (Maybe "Alexander" was a son??!!)   I believe that the only "Hudnut"
    items are vintage items sold throughout the antique & collectible world.
    (Wish I could afford one).  That's my "Penne's" worth & final on this
    subject.

    Hey Rich,

    Yes, I definitely agree with your  assessment.  The book was excellent and
    told the fascinating story of  the birth of broadcasting.  The TV version was
    good though rather slow  moving, more a documentary than a story.  But the
    audio
    version is the most  concise and entertaining of all, dramatizing the story
    these broadcast  pioneers.

     BUREAU

    Although not really OTR, I hope you'll indulge  this announcement for our
    fans that are part of this [removed]

    The  Gotham Radio Players are proud to present the world premiere of a new
    radio play  from the pen of award-winning author Darren Callahan.  We welcome
    you to  THE TOKYO TOURIST BUREAU.

    "The evidence, shot very poorly, of my wife  getting on an airplane.  Not
    much evidence at all, is it?  You  see?  You see, don't you?  The grain of the
    eight-millimeter is,  admittedly, pretty bad.  But it looks like her.  Red,
    straight hair to  the shoulders.  And that dress, a little stained.  With
    flowers,
    her  favorite.  The body, the bosom.  I'm fairly certain.  But I've  been
    known to be wrong."

    Join us and meet Mr. Aldo, who may be a  detective.  He is assisting Mr.
    Carter, whose wife may be missing.   She was last seen entering the Tokyo
    Tourist
    Bureau, run by the inscrutable Mr.  Daquel and his assistant, Hanna, who may
    be more involved than they  seem.

    This 30-minute surrealist comedy, from the talented author who gave  us UNCLE
    ANT and the Gotham Radio Players' own THE WAVE, will be performed  *live*
    this coming Sunday as part of WBAI's "The Golden age of  Radio".

    "The Golden Age of Radio"
    Sunday, January 22
    7:00 PM  (Eastern)
    WBAI, [removed] FM in the NYC area

    The program can also be heard  over the Internet at [removed], and
    you will be able to listen to an  archive of the broadcast at WBAI's website
    for about 2 weeks  afterwards.

    Please join us for a visit to the TOKYO TOURIST BUREAU.   You'll never think
    of the zoo in the same way again.

    classic radio programs of the 1930's,  40's and 50's to the airwaves of the

    millennium, as well as showcase  original scripts written by the emerging
    audio
    dramatists of today. The Gotham  Radio Players are featured regularly in live
    performances on WBAI-FM, which are  rebroadcast on other radio stations across
    the country, and can be heard  worldwide via the Internet.  We also appear

    Subject:  Ranger rebroadcasts

    In a recent OTR Digest posting, Jim Taylor asks about the Lone Ranger
    rebroadcasts that began following the last live broadcast on Sept. 3, 1954.
    These were done under the auspices of Special Recordings, Inc headed by Fred
    Flowerday.  Fred Foy supplied many of the commercials, and Jay Michael did
    some as well.  The Ranger episodes from 1950 on were preserved on tape as
    well as transcription via Chicago.  AS near as I can determine, the tapes
    were of the live broadcast at 7:30 EST, not the feed to Chicago at 7:00.
    Therefore, the versions released by SRI and the complete transcriptions
    differ slightly.  But more significantly, SRI edited down the episodes to
    make room for more commercial time and station promos, so that they do not
    contain the complete episode.  All of the commercials were new, they are not
    the commercials that were broadcast live.  I don't know if NBC promoed the
    Ranger rebroadcasts.  Many of these, which aired 5 days a week, were
    previously used by ABC for their rebroadcasts.
    For a complete listing, see Terry Salomonson's Lone Ranger log, which is
    available from Terry at [removed].

           In regards to many products no longer available that once were a
    staple of OTR.
           The "Old Country Store" in Vermont has many of the discontinued
    products and will search and carry others if requested.  I have misplaced the
    last
    catalog I had from them but go to Google and you will find out thier address,
    both snail mail and email.
           Growing (68 now)up I listened to many of the programs originating from
    Chicago and Detroit.  We lived half way between Chicago and St. Paul and with
    a tall outside antenna I could receive many of the 50,000 watt clear channel
    boomers.  Chicago, New Orleans, Denver, Salt Lake and Detroit.
           I had and old Phillco that my dad hooked up with earphones so the rest
    of the family wouldn't be disturbed late at nightby the Lone Ranger or The
    Green Hornet.

    Subject:  Harry S. Goodman?

    Since there have been a number of postings recently supplying information to
    the query about the Ziv syndication company, I'm wondering if anybody knows
    anything about another distributor of transcription programs, Harry S.
    Goodman Productions. I recently came across a review from 1958 about a
    Monday through Friday bloc of his series being broadcast on a Philadelphia
    station (in a kind of "Mystery Hour" format). The titles included ones that
    are familiar to us--LET GEORGE DO IT, PERIL--and others that I didn't
    recognize.

    What ties in to my own research here was the fact that one of the shows the
    Goodman company was offering was ADVENTURE INTO FEAR. Collectors know this
    title as the Australian version (ca. 1956) of THE MYSTERIOUS TRAVELER. But
    did Goodman import the Australian recordings into this country and release
    them, or is his ADVENTURE INTO FEAR his own production? And, if so, are they
    different scripts from the MYSTERIOUS TRAVELER originals?

    Anybody know?

    Subject:  Repeat broadcasts

    Just a little observation about repeat broadcasts of OTR episodes.

    I have noticed that OTR episode repeats or rebroadcasts tend fall into four
    categories.  I would like someone to confirm or refute my theory.

    The four categories are:

    1.	A direct repeat of the original transcription disk complete with
    original
    commercials.
    2.	A repeat of the original transcription disk with new commercials added.
    3.	A new version with the same cast. In this case, there are small
    changes
    in terms of timing and reading of script.
    4.	A whole new version with a new cast.

    I have noticed this with Escape and Suspense, I haven't had a chance to
    listen to all the duplicate shows that I have, and before anyone asks, I
    don't mean the East and West Coast versions of the episodes. I mean the
    various repeats, I think that Sorry, Wrong Number was done at least six
    times.
