     From Those Were The Days

    4/17

    1933   Backed by the On the Trail portion of the magnificent Grand
    Canyon Suite, Johnny Roventini, pillbox hat and all, uttered the words
    "Call for Philip Morris" for the first time on radio. The famous phrase
    was said in perfect B flat pitch and tone to perfectly match the
    accompanying music. This "Call for Philip Morris" phrase became one of
    the most famous in all of advertising.

    1935   People gathered around to listen for the first time to what would
    become the ultimate horror show on NBC, Lights Out.

    4/19

    1924   The WLS Barn Dance began airing on WLS.

    4/20

    1935    Your Hit Parade was first broadcast.

    1947   Fred Allen didn't find things so funny when censors cut him off
    the air during his broadcast. Allen was telling a joke about a mythical
    network vice president when he was suddenly taken off the air. One
    moment [removed]

    4/21

    1940   Take It or Leave It, was first heard on CBS on this day. Bob Hawk
    offered contestants a top prize of $64 ($1093 in 2015 dollars).  No,
    there were no lovely parting gifts or consolation prizes.  Losers just left.

    1949   The prestigious George Foster Peabody Award for Broadcasting was
    presented to You Bet Your Life star, "The one, the only, Groucho
    (Marx)." This was the first time the honor had been awarded to a comedian.

    4/22

    1940   The first all Chinese commercial radio program was broadcast over
    KSAN in San Francisco, CA.

    1946   Tex McCrary and Jinx Falkenburg arrived at WEAF in New York City
    with an entertaining morning show called, Hi, Jinx.

    Subject:  Query: Judy and Jane

    Dear List Members,
    I'm doing some research onB Judy and Jane, an early Hummert soap opera that
    ran in the Midwest for years, first on networks then by transcription disk.
    I've had very little success finding recordings of the program, with the
    exception of the "reefer" episode from 1942, and then more recently 3 later
    ones from the late [removed]
    Please let me know if you know of any other extant recordings, especially from
    the 1930s. I'd be most appreciative!
