I have come across an interesting situation in working LUX files from 1946. I
don't know if anyone can shed some light but here goes.
Some of the shows start "From the archives of the greatest dramas in radio
history, we proudly [removed]!" and others start " The Radio
Theatre brings [removed]" . I assume the latter are AFRS versions, sans
ads but any idea what the first group are?

Subject:  Cincinnati OTR Convention CD-Rom

As mentioned at the closing ceremonies of the Cincinnati Old-Time Radio
Convention, the 13 minute slide show featuring music and photographs from the
past 26 years has been put to CD. Thanks to my sister-in-law, they are
featured in both formats so even if you don't want to view the slide show you
can look at the photos by simply scrolling across one by one.

The CD contains tons of photos of Parley Baer, Willard Waterman, Fred Foy,
Peg Lynch, Robert Mott, Bob Hastings, Rosemary Rice, Lon Clark, and many
others who attended past years. Attendees, vendors, etc. You might be
surprised who is featured on here. If you attended any Cincinnati conventions
in the past, you are probably featured somewhere on the photos. We tried to
get as many people as we could when this was put together with what photos we
had access to. I only did up 20 copies.

The cost of the CD-Rom is $10 plus $2 postage. You can mail a check or money
order to the address below or use my e-mail address as my paypal ID. Funds
will be donated to Bob Burchett to reimburse expenses operating this year's
convention.

 From Those Were The Days

5/6

1937   A student of history, a broadcaster or anyone interested in news
coverage, will remember this day and the words of NBC's Herbert
Morrison. "Oh, the humanities!" Morrison's emotion filled historic
broadcast of the explosion of the dirigible, Hindenburg at Lakehurst,
NJ, became the first recorded coast to coast broadcast as it was carried
on both the NBC Red and NBC Blue networks from New York City.

5/9

1936   Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy started their own radio show on
NBC only months after they had debuted on Rudy Vallee's program. [removed]
Fields, Don Ameche and Dorothy Lamour were a few of the stars that
helped Bergen and the little blockhead, McCarthy, jump to the top of
radio's hit parade.

5/10

1927   The Hotel Statler in Boston, MA. became the first hotel to
install radio headsets in each of its 1,300 rooms.

5/11

1946 - Jack Barry hosted "Juvenile Jury" on WOR radio in New York City.
The show was such a hit after five weeks on the air that it debuted on
the Mutual Broadcasting System coast to coast.

This coming Sunday, May 6th, marks the 75th anniversery of the Hindenburg
disaster here in New Jersey. Are any terrestrual, satellite, or Internet
OTR stations or outlets planning any programming to comemmorate it.

Not to answer your question, Derek, but on the same topic, next year is the
75th anniversary of "The War Of The Worlds Panic Broadcast of 1938", and I
have exactly and precisely the same questions in regards of THAT!!!

Subject:  Lou Marcelle

Does anyone have background information on the actor Lou Marcelle? He has a
number of small film credits to his name and there is a Lou Marcelle
associated with a few radio programs. IMDB lists him as being from St. Louis.
I'm trying to see if there's a connection to a Kansas City-area Lou Marcelle
(maybe Marcell) who was in radio in the early 1930s.
Thanks,
Ryan
