    Subject:  What's My Line

    I have never seen any record of What's My Line, the venerable game show,
    being on the radio. Currently, if your satellite receives the Gameshow
    network, John Daly is reminding viewers at the end of the programs to listen
    to " a completely new episode" every Wednesday night on CBS Radio. I know CBS
    and NBC attempted to market everything from the audio tracks of I Love Lucy
    to You Bet Your Life as separate radio episodes, but was never aware of
    What's My Line on OTR.

    Subject:  Ev and Charlie Show

    If Derek says there was such a radio show by the Senate and House
    minority leaders, I'll take his word for it. But, in fact, I
    believe that was only a joking reference to the two men's press
    conferences when they appeared to present the Republican position
    on various Democratic policies and legislation ... akin to a "dog
    and pony show" but without the dog and pony.

    Subject:  Hullabaloo (1940)

    FYI

    Tuesday morning TCM will be playing a motion picture entitled HULLABALOO.
    Released in 1940, the movie deals with a man trying to get into the radio
    business. While I myself have not seen the movie, supposedly it highlights a
    spoof of the War of the Worlds panic broadcast when the radio star creates
    the same panic with his own Martian invasion, one of the scenes in this movie.
    Might be worth watching . . .

    [ADMINISTRIVIA: Since our local Comcast system removed TCM from the Basic
    package (technically, they didn't, but it still requires a leased
    digital->analog converter box, so it's the same as removing it), and I
    haven't had time to switch to sattelite, I'd appreciate hearing from someone
    who can record it for [removed](*sigh*)  --cfs3]

     Hello again --

    Derek Tague's reference to Everett Dirksen's radio shows reminded me of
    his programs on that other medium, a half-hour show on Sundays shared (in
    separate segments)
    with Senator Paul Douglas and his wife Emily, who had actually been a U. S.
    Representative in the early forties.
    Dirksen may have been an "improbable recording star," but no one could
    dispute his deep, stentorian Foghorn Leghorn voice nor,
    on TV, his quintessential senatorial appearance with his jowly face topped
    by a thick mane
    of silvery hair. And ex-marine Paul Douglas, much less striking in
    appearance, was an amazing character
    whose biography would make a great movie (see
    [removed] ); Dr. Martin Luther King
    called him the greatest senator of them all in his fights for civil rights.

    Seeing these two guys on TV reminds me of Jay Leno's statement that
    "Politics is just show business for ugly people."
    Emily was much easier on the eyes.

    Subject:  Richard Widmark

    I was out of the country when I read the postings about Richard Widmark and
    his death. I don't think anyone mentioned that Widmark also worked for Bill
    Robson on "The Man Behind the Gun," a very well done WWII series. It's quite
    likely that he worked with Art Carney who was also on the series. Now there's
    an unlikely pair. Sort of like imagining Lucille Ball working with Orson
    Welles.

    Subject:  Cincinnati convention

    I hope to see many of you at the Cincinnati convention
    coming up next weekend.  I'm sure we're going to have
    a lot of fun at our annual get together.

    Don't forget to support the vendors and dealers who
    set up in the dealer's room.  We have to pay for our
    tables, thereby paying for the ability to offer our
    wares to our fellow attendees.  Buying products from
    dealers who refuse to support the event by purchasing
    a table, instead prefering to lure attendees to
    outside homes and locations, does nothing to help the
    events that positively impact our hobby.

    Without supporting the dealers, they cannot support
    the Convention, and when the dealers start staying
    home, we start seeing conventions folding up.

    Rodney
