    Subject:  The Cinnamon Bear!

    Dear Reader:

    Hi, everybody!  I hope by now you have established a schedule for playing
    episodes of "The Cinnamon Bear."  Remember, there are 26 installments
    (available everywhere, including your local Borders).  They should be
    programmed between Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.  Research by First
    Generation Radio Archives has determined that the very first episode was
    broadcast in the USA on Friday, November 26, 1937, so you will be carrying
    on a tradition lasting over seventy years!

    Your family will thrill to the adventures of Paddy, Jimmy and Judy Barton,
    and the Crazy Quilt Dragon, as they search Maybeland for the missing silver
    star that goes atop the Barton family Christmas tree. If you don't have the
    program tapes, all the clubs and dealers have them, most of whom write to
    this list. YES, It is time once again to celebrate THE CINNAMON BEAR, first
    heard in 1937.

    Charlie helped me make the Maybeland map and the eleven songs in the serial
    more accessible to you this year.  Just go to:

    [removed]

    You can print them off and use them as you listen with your kids to the
    program.  You'll have so much fun.

    It is golden age radio at its best, with the actors who are so familiar to
    you---Joseph Kearns, Elvia Allman, Gale Gordon, Frank Nelson, Martha
    Wentworth, Barbara Jean Wong, Verna Felton, Hanley Stafford, Elliott Lewis,
    Lou Merrill, Howard McNear, and the list goes on and on and on.

    As Paddy himself says, "I'd be much obliged to you!"

    Sincerely,

    Dennis Crow

    (via Charlie Summers, who apologies for being so late with this this year.
    Remember, the best-sounding copies of these programs are available from the
    First Generation Radio Archives - see:

    [removed]

    ...for more details. Also, there is an iCalendar schedule for import into
    any modern calendar application attached to the blog post at:

    [removed]

    The first episode, assuming you listen to one episode every day, should
    have started on Monday, November 29th, so the story will end on Christmas
    eve; you've got seven to catch up on if you haven't started.  --cfs3)

    Subject:  It's A Wonderful Life

    Kenneth Clarke remarked:

    Which version are you referring to? LUX THEATRE? STARS IN THE AIR? SCREEN DIRECTOR'S PLAYHOUSE?
    "How it was originally written in the script" depends on which script you are talking about.
    Also, radio production was usually on the ball with the script so if they used a bell instead
    of a rose pedal, it was probably in the script. The answer to that question would only be theoretical.
    No way to factually state why the change unless there was an inter-office memo explaining. But the
    question does provide an interesting factoid.

    Great liberty was taken when adapting motion-pictures for radio productions due to
    time restraints, sound effects, music scoring and the fact that movies were originally a visual
    medium. Since the story ends with "Every time you hear a bell ring, an angel gets his [removed]"
    it would be obvious to incorporate a bell instead of a rose pedal to help eliminate a few lines
    of descriptive dialogue about rose pedals and help tie it in with the ending.

    Answering Kenneth's message about my top five favorite detective series.

    1. Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar (the five-part shows from the Bob Bailey era)

    2. Dragnet (I know they are cops, but I still think it counts)

    3. Sam Spade (the Howard Duff era)

    4. I Love a Mystery (the East Coast run with Russ Thorson)

    5. Tales of the Texas Rangers (I know I'm cheating a little, but I'll still
    call Jace Pearson a detective with a horse)

    Honorable mentions: Night Beat, The Falcon, Barrie Craig, Richard Diamond
    and Pat Novak.

    For anyone who has any rare materials related to OTR, in addition to making
    copies, please consider how you store it.  Leaving paper products on your
    basement floor is probably the worst place possible for storage.  Mold can
    develop even without a flooded basement, and flooded basements are certainly
    common.  Perhaps even consider copying the materials and donating them to a
    University that maintains an archive of radio history.  Universities will
    have the know-how and the facilities to keep the materials for years to come.

    minister's wife.    It is dated 12/26/82.  I am told that the CBC no longer
    has radio drama on its network.

    I wish my mother, a minister's wife, could have heard this program.  It is a

    I saw a TV ad the other night for Alka-Seltzer and although 't'was nice to see
    the product's mascot "Speedy Alka-Seltzer" back in action, it was apparent
    that our old OTR friend/performer Richard "Dick" Beals was not providing the
    voice for the character -- a voice he originated (1950s? 1960s?). Duz anybody
    out there in the ether know why Mr. Beals has been unceremoniously

    Subject:  OTR on LP records

    Not so many years ago someone lamented to me that he/she wished it was
    possible to still find three-speed turntables.  I didn't pursue that because
    I have a very good one which has been in our family for decades and works
    like a charm.  Today I received a circular in the mail from JCPenney's
    Outlet chain advertising an $80 Jensen unit for $50, complete with
    three-speed stereo turntable and AM/FM stereo radio, plus some added
    features.  I have no idea if this is a deal and think this brand or another
    might possibly be had online (or found in competing retail stores) perhaps
    for less.  That's not my point.  My point is:  such equipment is still
    available and presumably of good quality, backed by warranties.  If you've
    been unable to play your LPs (and there is a whole lot of OTR on those vinyl
    discs from yesteryear) maybe this is the Christmas to fix your problem.
    They're out there at what seems to me to be a reasonable sum.  I'm not
    advocating one brand or store over another, just mentioning their
    availability in case you've overlooked them.

    The latest edition of the British Library's Sound Archive magazine 'Playback'
    has an article by Paul Wilson stating that recently a hoard of BBC
    Transcription Service discs were found at a British Antartic Survey station in
    the South Pole. The discs date from the 1950's - 1970's and contain drama,
    features and music. No other details given in the article though.
