Does anyone know which is actually correct?  Dunning's book says Deeds was
first followed by Seaton.  Jay Hickerson's book says the opposite with the
dates that Deeds was only on one episode AFTER Seaton.

Dunning claims his is based on the recollection of Trendle himself.

Two answers to Walt Davis:
Miss Blue:  Her boss, Andrew H. Brown would call her, that she should buzz
him on the intercom (that was hooked up backwards) and then he would say:
Now will you come out here please?"
Responding to Mother would be Henry Aldridge ( Ezra Stone),  after she
called "Henreee, Henry Aldridge!"

Another source of Jack Benny shows on video is Shokus Video in
Chatsworth CA.  They have several volumes and most of the shows have
original commercials intact.  They have a new web site up at
[removed]  ..I haven't explored it myself yet, but have
done business with Shokus many years and it's a first rate product with
great service.

There is at least one glaring omission from the list of mystery and 
adventure shows in the list to date - IMHO, and that is almost any of the 
multiple part "Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar" shows.  I vote for "The Open 
Town Matter" and "The Silent Queen Matter," but almost any one will do.
