    The Washington Post is not the only media outlet to be confused about the
    beginnings of the Green Hornet. The latest issue of Entertainment Weekly has a
    two-page spread on the new GH movie, that states it's based on "the classic
    comic book". You think these folks are too proud to check Wikipedia?

    In fact, Wikipedia tells me that the Green Hornet ran in comic books during
    the
    1940s, that there was a brief tie-in with the 1960s TV series, and that NOW
    Comics revived the Green Hornet in a comic book starting in 1989, with writers
    who were certainly aware of the radio series.

    Alan asked recently about an episode of The Jack Benny Show in which Jack
    boxes with Rochester.

    There is an episode of The Jack Benny Show in which he is preparing for his
    boxing match with Fred Allen in which he has Rochester as a sparring
    partner.

    It's in line with the usual Jack Benny character.  When they fight fair he
    is losing so he cheap shots Rochester, making a joke about how "Rochester is
    going to get a black eye," to which Eddie Anderson replied "You'll have to
    peel me to prove it."

    I've got my copies of "39 Forever" vol1 and vol2 by Laura Leff here in front
    of me but can't find the specific episode immediately so I'm working from
    memory.

    As far as it "sparking an outcry," I hadn't heard that but it wouldn't
    surprise me.

    Hi Folks.
    I noticed a few postings recently praising BBC Radio drama. Yes, we are very
    lucky on this side of the pond that the BBC still does radio drama on a daily
    basis. If its  possible to download BBC Radio 4 via the net in the US, they
    had an excellent supernatural thriller on the other night called 'Bad
    Memories'. Definately worth a listen for those of you, like myself, who find
    ghost stories great on the radio.
    As an example of what the BBC still does, Gillian Reynolds wrote in London's
    Daily Telegraph last week that in September 2011 BBC Radio 4 will be
    broadcasting a drama about the Second World War on the Eastern Front in
    Russia. It will be 8 hours long, and will be spread over the whole week. This
    sounds like a 'must listen' ... !
    Cheers ! Graeme

    Does anyone remember this child prodigy of the 50s?

    She performed on so many variety shows in the 50s, then disappeared.

    I did a google search on her and it shows that she has performed in Waikiki
    at some sheraton Hotels, but not much else is available.

    She seemed so very gifted.

    I would love to know what happened to her as the years went on.

    thanks

    Subject:  #OldRadio IRC Chat this Thursday Night!

    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!
