    Subject:  This week in radio history 14-21 September

     From Those Were The Days -

    9/15

    1934   NBC presented The Gibson Family to American audiences. The
    program was the first musical comedy drama to be broadcast. Ernest
    Whitman and Eddie Green were featured members of the cast and were
    billed as "network radio's only colored comedians." The show originated
    from the studios of WEAF in New York City.

    9/18

    1927   The Columbia Broadcasting System was born on this day in 1927.
    CBS broadcast an opera, The King's Henchman, as its first program.

    1948   The Original Amateur Hour returned to radio on ABC, two years
    after the passing of the program's originator and host, Major Bowes.
    Bowes brought new star talent into living rooms for 13 years.

    9/19

    It was just an average day this day in 1932, when Just Plain Bill was
    first heard on CBS. It was "The real life story of people just like
    people we all know." The 15 minute show (Monday through Friday at 7:15
    [removed]) was all about (just plain) Bill Davidson and his daughter, Nancy,
    who lived in (just plain) Hartville. Since Bill was the town barber,
    everybody came to him with their problems and Bill helped them
    straighten things out.

    Instead of playing the usual organ, as a first, Hal Brown played
    harmonica and whistled the Just Plain Bill introduction music (Darling
    Nellie Gray). Hal also handled the closing theme (Polly Wolly Doodle) in
    the same manner.

    The show, created by Frank and Anne Hummert, who also came up with Mr.
    Keen, Tracer of Lost Persons, Little Orphan Annie, Amanda of Honeymoon
    Hill, Front Page Farrell, John's Other Wife, Mr. Chameleon, Our Gal
    Sunday and many other radio dramas, later moved to NBC. Just Plain Bill
    chalked up 23 years on the air, until 30 September, 1955. A few of the
    Just Plain Bill sponsors over the years were Kolynos toothpaste and
    Clapp's baby [removed]

    9/20

    1921   KDKA in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania started one of the first daily
    radio newscasts in the country. The broadcast came from the city desk of
    The Pittsburgh Post.

    1953   Jimmy Stewart debuted in The Six Shooter on NBC. He played Britt
    Ponset on the Western.

    9/21

    1946   After being tested on a regional basis, The Second Mrs. Burton
    was heard for the first time on the entire CBS network. The Second Mrs.
    Burton fared very well, having a relationship with the network for 14 years.

    1948   The serial Life With Luigi debuted on CBS. Luigi Basko was played
    by J. Carroll Naish. Naish, an Irish American, became typecast as an
    Italian immigrant, and went on to play the same role in the TV version
    in 1952.
