    LIGHTS OUT, THE WHISTLER, AND SUSPENSE were alll adapted for television in
    the late 40"s--early 50's. Were there any other old time radio series of the
    mystery-drama-horror type that were adapted for television?

    Subject:  Graham Harris

    A friend of mine, who heads up the DC group of Sherlock Holmes fans,
    is interested in finding out information about Graham Harris, who
    handled the music responsibilities on the early 30s NBC show of
    "Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" which was sponsored by George
    Washington Coffee.

    The only additional information I can find about Harris in my
    reference books is that he was also the music director on two other
    NBC shows, "Red Trails" (1935) and "Danger Fighters" (1930-35.)

    Any Digesters know anything more about this orchestra leader?

    Thanks,

    Subject:  Summertime fill in show  sponsored by Kraft

    X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: Alternative section used was text/plain

        I recall hearing on a Great Gildersleeve show that Kraft Foods was to
    sponsor a summer show featuring SOME of the actors of The Great Gildersleeve
    show and was to be mostly music. The title was to be something like
    "Summerfield Bandstand"? Does the show exist someplace to hear these days for
    us to hear?
    Thanks.
