Subject:  En-Ar-Co Motor Oil Review - 1930

A few evenings ago, while surfing through a NON-OTR site, I discovered an
early radio program which doesn't seem to be in general circulation - the
En-Ar-Co Motor Oil Review from 1930.

     The episode features the great 1920s pianist/composer Rube Bloom. The
announcer is the immortal Ted Husing.

Pam mentioned:

Yesterday, I listened to the Gunsmoke episode "The
Lynching." Georgia Ellis is in the credits
as always, but I'll eat my ten-gallon hat
if she really did play Kitty in that ep.

Kitty isn't in it for long, but she has an
emotional scene with Matt and she gets
pretty shrill. That's what got me seriously
doubting it was Georgia.
The glamourous Miss E. doesn't chew scenery.

I've poked around in the places I know to poke,
and can't find any evidence that someone else
stood in for her. Does anyone know who she was?

Pam, I must disagree.

I have just listened to the 08/16/1952 show, "The Lynching."
Twice!
That is definitely Georgia Ellis as Kitty.

While "The Lynching" is the 17th episode of GUNSMOKE,
it was only the 5th episode in the Kitty character appeared.

At this early stage of the series, Georgia Ellis was probably still
experimenting with the voice for the Kitty character.

Also, "The Lynching" is the First Episode in which Georgia Ellis
receives credit as a Series Regular and Not As A Guest Performer.

Additional Sources of Information:
GUNSMOKE Script:  08/16/1952 - "The Lynching"
 and
Norman Macdonnell's Show and Cast Lists

Both sources list Georgia Ellis.

The only other woman in the cast of "The Lynching"
was Joan Danton, who played Mrs. Rice Stewart.

Signing off for now,

Subject:  Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Parley Baer

Ted Kneebone writes,

And for beautiful music I wish I could still hear
the Mormon Tabernacle Choir program.

Parley Baer (Gunsmoke's Chester) grew up in Salt Lake City.  He once told
me that his first radio job was as an engineer for KSL radio, the
originating station of the Morman Tabernacle Choir broadcast.

One of his jobs was working with two other guys to get the Choir's
program on the air every Sunday morning.  "What nobody who heard that
program knew," he said with delight, "was that the three people
responsible for engineering the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's worldwide
broadcast every week were a Methodist, a Presbyterian, and a Jew."

On one of the podcasts that I subscribe to someone mentioned the Gumps. They
were looking for the origination of the phrase as rich as Bin Gump.
Apparently the Gumps was a comic strip which was quite popular in the 1920's
and beyond. The announcer also stated that there was a radio program which
was based on the comic strip. Does anyone know of such a program? Do any
copies of the program exist.

The link for more information on the comic strip is:

Tony-- I pulled my copy of the Shadow Scrapbook out of the attic after so
many long years, and it was quite the excellent work in its time, and still
amazing today -- will there be an update since so much has been learned since
that time, and there have been so many more shows found since then?

Subject:  That ain't Miss Kitty

	Well, it sounds a lot like Georgia Ellis with a higher pitched
voice.  Inflections are similar as well.
The show "The Lynching" was from 8/16/52.  The only other person who
is female who received credit was Joan Danton.
This actress plays Kitty with a bit more of a theatrical cultured
vocal range, so you may be right.

Is anybody familiar with a book edited by Michele Hilmes
titled "NBC: America's Network"?

Here's a link that describes the contents:

[removed]

I've thumbed through it. It's mostly scholarly academic essays with
footnotes. Lots of interesting nuggets of information even if you don't
always agree with the authors' viewpoint. The first part of the book (six
chapters out of eighteen, I believe) is all about radio. Topics include:
competition between NBC and CBS in the 1920s and '30s; a discussion of the
series "America's Town Meeting of the Air"; NBC's treatment of business vs.
labor; NBC's divestment of the Blue network; NBC's coverage of Jewish issues
during the war, and the late '40s "talent raids."

Of course, you also get stuff like "Sex as a Weapon: Programming Sexuality in
the 1970s" and "How NBC Killed Star Trek."
