    Subject:  Halo, [removed] listen up!

    Jim Cox gave us a good overview of the Mr. & Mrs. North show, but he didn't
    say how his "Halo, everybody" Subject line related to the show.
    Well, a little research led me back to [removed]'s Commercials
    articles. Go to the following URL for an article about Halo shampoo:
    [removed]
    You can read this about the shampoo jingle's relation to the program: "Not
    only was "Halo Everybody Halo" heard on the commercials, the jingle was also
    used as the theme music for MR. & MRS. NORTH, when Halo and Colgate Tooth
    Powder co-sponsored the program on CBS Radio, and as the closing theme music
    for THE MEL BLANC SHOW, also on CBS."
    While you're there, you can click on the 1st "red bar" and listen to the Halo
    jingle introduction to "Mr. & Mrs. North".
    I hope you like it.

    Subject:  Lindbergh Kidnapping

    Andrew Steinberg is looking for broadcasts, other than re-creations,
    of this event.

    I looked for such for over a year, prior to my presentation on
    Lindbergh Kidnapping at the 2008 Newark FOTR Convention. Other than
    those re-created by "March of Time" I found only one. There exists a
    December 1935 special on Mutual narrated by Seymour Birkson which
    talks about that famous crime in "Top News Stories of 1935" and
    surprisingly, it ranked only number two.

    Subject:  Joseph Curtain

    I may have mentioned this before on the OTR Digest, but if not, here is a bit
    of info on Joseph Curtain of Mr. and Mrs. North fame:
    I've been a long time friend of Valerie Curtin, daughter of Joseph Curtin.
    She told me a story about her father towards the end of his radio career.
    Joseph Curtin was a very good looking man and could well have become a
    popular Hollywood actor. When radio was coming to an end, the Mr. and Mrs.
    North show went to television and Joseph Curtin was asked by the producers to
    play Jerry North. It would have been the beginning of a new career for a
    talented and well liked radio actor. His answer was: "Television? It'll never
    last. No, I'll stick with radio." It was the biggest mistake of his life.
    Valerie told me there were times her father would shake his head, look
    terribly beaten and comment that he should have taken the role to television.
    When radio died, he turned to selling real estate.

    Andrew,

    The Library of American Broadcasting has a copy of a "Vox Pop" broadcast from
    1935 in which one of the hosts, Jerry Belcher, asks several people about
    their opinions about the case and Hauptmann's guilt or innocence.  The
    broadcast took place January 11, 1935, during the second week of the trial.
    The respondents seem curiously un-informed about the case and ready to
    convict Hauptmann despite not knowing much about the evidence.

    If you are not familiar with the show, "Vox Pop" was on the air from 1932 to
    1948, beginning as a man-on-the-street interview program in Houston, Texas.
    It went national in 1935 and was eventually heard over NBC, CBS, and ABC
    before it went off the air in 1948.

    The Library of American Broadcasting has the papers of the program's host
    Parks Johnson and I am currently writing a book about the program's history
    and influence. You can find more information about the show on our website:

    If you contact me off-line, we can make arrangements to send you a copy of
    the broadcast.

     From Those Were The Days

    3/22

    1948   The Voice of Firestone was the first commercial radio program to
    be carried simultaneously on both AM and FM radio stations.

    3/23

    1940   Truth or Consequences was first heard on radio. The Ralph Edwards
    produced program was hosted by Mr. Edwards. The show was originally
    heard on only four CBS stations. Later, NBC picked up the show where it
    eventually became the most popular of all radio quiz shows.

    3/24

    1932   Belle Baker hosted a radio variety show from a moving train ... a
    first for radio broadcasting. The program originated from a Baltimore
    and Ohio train that chugged its way around the New York area. The
    broadcast was heard on WABC in New York City.

    1935   After a year as a local show from New York City, Major Bowes'
    Original Amateur Hour was heard on the entire NBC network. The show
    stayed on the air for 17 years. Later, Ted Mack took over for Bowes and
    made the move from radio to television.

    3/25

    1943   Jimmy Durante and Garry Moore premiered on network radio. The
    pair replaced the popular Abbott and Costello following Lou Costello's
    heart attack. Durante and Moore stayed on the air for four years.

    3/27

    1943   Blue Ribbon Town was first heard on CBS.

    3/28

    1941   Louella Parsons hosted Hollywood Premiere for the first time on
    CBS. The gossip columnist introduced famous guests who appeared in
    dramatized stories.

    1944   WQXR in New York City, owned by The New York Times newspaper,
    banned singing commercials from its airwaves as of this day.
    Understandable, since the station has always been the classical music
    voice of Manhattan and t here aren't many classical singing commercials.

    Subject:  The future meets the past

    Looks like Star Trek and Kellogs are working their way back to the past with
    a new/old campaign.  If you like to collect Trek stuff you might find this
    interesting.

    >From [removed]:
    "Star Trek XI goodies are being offered with the purchase of Kelloggs
    breakfast cereal and Pop-Tarts toaster pastries.
    As reported by Kelloggs, Star Trek fans who like sweet pastries are in
    luck. Specially-marked Kelloggs Pop-Tarts boxes will contain a voucher
    that can be saved up to be exchanged for a Star Trek XI movie ticket.
    When five of these vouchers are collected, the fan will send them in
    with the official order form, and in return will receive a ticket for
    one free admittance to Star Trek XI at valid participating theaters.
    If one prefers cereal for breakfast in lieu of pastries, Kellogg has
    another Star Trek XI promotion for several of their cereals. Inside
    specially marked boxes of six different Kelloggs cereals including
    Frosted Mini-Wheats, Frosted Flakes, Apple Jacks, Corn Pops, Fruit
    Loops and Rice Krispies, a Star Trek Beam-Up badge is enclosed. There
    are five different badges to collect: Starfleet Science, Command and
    Engineering, Klingon Empire badge, Romulan Empire badge."
    To find out more about the badges and more about which cereals they can
    be found in visit:

    Subject:  Beamer interview

    I believe I've asked this B4 but I might as well ask again.

    If you saw the movie AutoFocus, about Bob Crane, you may recall that it
    begins with Bob at the radio station having just completed an on air
    interview with Brace Beamer.

    Does that interview survive? Anyone have it? I would love to hear [removed]
