Please excuse this message, but I need to notify my many OTR friends
that I've dumped my Email. If you've sent me a message in the last few 
days, please resend. This message may be a repeat, as I'm also not
sure which of my messages have gone out.

All:
    I didn't know about Clayton Moore's new Lone Ranger book until the
latest otr mailing got to me.  What is it called and how much is it?  Is
it available at all stores or just select outlets?

Thanx,
Keith

During the 40s primarily Mutual and The Blue network aired show after show
from 5- 6pm ( 15 minutes each ) aimed at kids. 
Superman, Tom Mix, Jack Armstrong,Captain Midnight , Little Orphan Annie just
to name a few.

I have heard that each show often had to be done three times 
to get a show on at the same time in three time belts.
So Jack Armstrong would do his first show from Chicago at 4:30
for back East, again at 5:30 for Chicago and the Midwest and at 7:30 for the
West.

So in Denver, Salt Lake City and other mountain time zone stations
( a time Zone that has been traditionally ignored by networks even unto this
day ) you would think that Jack Armstrong would air either 
at 4:30 or 6:30 depending on if the feed taken was the midwest or west. 
But no! Even in the smaller towns in the rocky mountain time zone
the serial hour was 5- 6pm. So I guess in this area of the country 
no one was paying attention to the fact that the  network shows were being
transcribed for later release in that time belt. And all the time performers
were being asked to do three live shows because 
" live " was best. I guess that only applied to areas of the country 
the world was paying attention to like New York, Chicago, and LA.

I have seen the last few issues down to, like 2 and 5 Kbytes,,
containing only a couple articles.

This is down from full-sized digests just a few days ago.

Has anyone been sending in articles and not seeing them printed?
I am just wondering if there is another snafu in the server or if
there is just a lag in the posts (one *heck* of a lag, if that is the
reason).

If you have posted and not seen your article *in the past couple of
days* please write me personally [removed]

wdp@[removed]  OR  wdp@[removed]

Please do not respond to the list.

Thank you

Hello all, 
  I have been more a lurking than a contributor of late. With all the
good reading, there has been no need to contribute atleast on my
unknowledgeable end.

  I wanted to see if any of our great OTR listeners out there may know
if there is a book that lists all the Sherlock Holmes shows. I also am
looking for anyone that may like to swap a few shows. I have a large
listing of Sherlock and I am ready to listen to some new shows. If
anyone can help it is much appreciated in advance.

Listening in the background, advancing in knowledge with every Digest
recieved,

Alecia Warner

Message-Id: <[removed]@[removed]>

Though I saw the show with Richard Haydn as Mr. Carp, I don't remember the
lady whose first name is Florence. 
Could that be Florence Hallop? She was in radio for many years. She was on
the Henry Morgan show many times. Her brother was Billy Hallop who started
his career as one of the original dead end kids in William Wyler's film DEAD
END, starring Humphrey Bogart, Joel McCrea and Sylvia Sidney. Later, Billy
fell on hard times, finding it difficult to find work. He was eventually
picked up to play a regular character part on ARCHIE BUNKER'S PLACE. He died
almost penniless. Florence went on to do voice over work and continued to
work in the entertainment field until her own death.
I read some of the postings about who Florence was, and the "other" lady is
probably the one who was on the Dick Van Dyke show spoken of. But, you might
want to double check on this, as Florence Hallop might have been on a number
of Van Dyke shows, including the one with Richard Haydn. 
Just a thought.
Ken G.
