A weekly [removed]
For the best in OTR Chat, join IRC (Internet Relay Chat), StarLink-IRC
Network, the channel name is #OldRadio. We meet Thursdays at 8 PM Eastern
and go on, and on! The oldest OTR Chat Channel, it has been in existence
over nine years, same time, same channel! Started by Lois Culver, widow
of actor Howard Culver, this is the place to be on Thursday night for
real-time OTR talk!
Our "regulars" include OTR actors, soundmen, collectors, listeners, and
others interested in enjoying OTR from points all over the world. Discussions
range from favorite shows to almost anything else under the sun (sometimes
it's hard for us to stay on-topic)...but even if it isn't always focused,
it's always a good time!
For more info, contact charlie@[removed]. We hope to see you there, this
week and every week!

Subject: Pauline Dugart part of the Stewart Sisters
I am trying to help a friend of mine in Maryland get information on her Aunt
Paula Dugart who was part of the Stewart Sisters. She has some photos and
glass record which she would like identified. I have suggested she attend the
Convention held by the Friends of Oldtime Radio in Newark. She would
hand-carry the data to be viewed.
I am including some parts of an e-mail she sent to me:
"My Aunt Paula (Pauline Dugart) was BEST friends with Ginny Mancini. My Aunt
was a member of the Society of Singers and I have several of her membership
cards, as well as programs from their galas. Also pics of Paula and Ginny
together. I believe they may have lived in the same area of CA."
"There are a couple cool pics of my Aunt at the Stork Club in NY, also a hand
written log with all her appointments for the month with Frank S and others.
I think she did lots of recording during the big strike."
"The Stewart Sisters (none of them were sisters of course) were back up for
Rudy Vallee), including his radio show the Fleichman Radio Hour on NBC Radio.
Rudy introduced the world to "On The Good Ship Lollipop" before the Movie
came out and Shirley Temple sang it. The Stewart Sisters sang it on the
Radio Show."
There is much more, but I will try to limit it here. I am seeking contacts,
for her, that could help in providing data on Pauline Dugart and ID'ing
people in her photos. I have scans of her photos!
Being in Southern California and a member of SPERDVAC, my resources are
limited.
Thank you.

From: Joe Mackey<joemackey108@[removed];
1957 Funnyman Stan Freberg debuted a new weekly comedy program on CBS.
I thought it was a summer replacement for Jack Benny. That was because
I didn't know that Jack Benny on radio was all reruns by that time, but
it did replace Jack for at least part of the summer.
A number of the routines from the radio show were issued on an LP
album. It was quite good.

Subject: Fibber McGee's Name
Jan Bach beat me to it -- I've been busy -- but I heard the exact same
story from a source one step better than the book: Jim Jordan. He was
the guest of honor at the very first Midwest Radio Theatre Workshop in
1979, in Columbia, Missouri. We had about a 45-minute seminar with him
one afternoon, a roundtable q-and-a, and he told the story of Fibber's
name in the course of it.
The "Smackout" show was indeed a considerable local/regional success,
and got them noticed by NBC. The inspiration for Smackout, Jim
explained, was a little country store in southern Missouri -- making a
neat local connection for us! -- where the proprietor always seemed to
be "smack out" of whatever you wanted. He told us he'd been delighted to
be asked to the Workshop because it kind of brought him back to his
radio roots.
He told how Don Quinn showed up at the meeting with a piece of paper
"all fancied up" with the words "Fibber McGee" on it, just like the
story Jan quotes from the book (which I have not seen, by the way).
Clearly, the name was created as "Fibber" and any explanations offered
later on were the result of Don Quinn (or Phil Leslie) needing a joke to
keep a script moving.
The roundtable discussion with Jim was recorded, and somewhere I have a
cassette of it. The Workshop concluded with a live show, and Jim came
out on stage with us and made a short statement when we went on the air,
so technically I can say I was once on the radio with Fibber McGee!

X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: from multipart/alternative
X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: Alternative section used was text/plain
I have recently finished James Hirsch's book, Willie Mays: The Life, The
Legend and it is great reading for any baseball fan. Hirsch is a former
reporter for the NY Times and the Wall Street Journal. He writes in this book
not only about Willie Mays but about the incredible era that Willie's career
encompasses. (All the usual disclaimers apply here.)
But the book is flawed. Hirsch contends that Willie's era saw a lot of
change in America, which is certainly true but, like many writers, he is to
insistent on imposing his thesis even when events do not warrant. This flaw
becomes serious when he writes about one of the most dramatic moments in
baseball and in broadcasting: Bobby Thompson's walk off home run in the 1951
play off series between the NY Giants and the Brooklyn Dodgers. (BTW: Willie
was in the on deck circle when Bobby ended the game.)
Hirsch notes that the game was televised and insists "...the story was
television." Rubbish. The Giants Radio Network coverage of the game was
carried
nationally on at least 520 stations by the Mutual Network. This was an
afternoon game and most folks were probably listening to the radio coverage
when Thompson stepped up to the plate at about 4:00 PM Eastern Time. It was
the radio audience that heard Russ Hodges scream, "There's a long drive.
It's gonna [removed] [removed] Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the
pennant!...The Giants win the pennant!..." That was a very dramatic moment
provided by an outstanding broadcaster and heard coast to coast on radio.
Hirsch's account of this episode is so sketchy that a reader who didn't
know better would think that Hodges was doing the TV coverage. That is an
unforgivable sloppiness in a book that is otherwise first rate.
Who did voice the TV coverage? That chore was handled by the great Ernie
Harwell, who years later amicably admitted: No one remembers that I did the
TV coverage of that game and no one cares.
But a lot of people cared about Ernie. Ernie Harwell is best remembered
and, yes, loved today as the radio voice of the Detroit Tigers.
Talkin' baseball and Talkin' OTR.

Subject: New Hornet from RS
Any Hornet fans who were on the fence, I just received the new "Great Radio
Favorites" promotional 2-CD set which was offered free with a purchase from
Radio Spirits.
Four shows are included, a Suspense (Twas the Nigh Before Christmas), Phil
Harris/Alice Faye (The Pink bed Jacket), Gunsmoke (Meshougah), and drum roll
please, the Green Hornet (The Rodin Statue) which I haven't seen or heard of
as being in circulation.
I can't wait to get home from work and chunk'er in iTunes and the old iPod!
Regards,
Bob Keller
Waukesha,Wisc.
