As a big PPM fan I was looking through YouTube clips of their performances and
I found this video on YouTube which is Peter, Paul and Mary singing a song to
and about Jack Benny on his TV show.
I miss you, Mary.

Subject: Kraft No Applause Rule
I remember there being a no-applause rule on the Voice of Firestone even
into the late 1950s, and I knew there were early programs that even had
a "glass curtain" to separate the audience from the performers, but I
had not realized that there was a no-applause rule for the Kraft Music
Hall. In the August 1941 issue of "Radio and Television Mirror" page 4
'What's New From Coast to Coast' by Dan Senseney there is this item:
"The no-applause rule on the Kraft Music Hall has been broken just twice
since the show first went on the air. The first person to break it was
the big boss himself, [removed] Kraft, president of the sponsoring company.
He got carried away with enthusiasm one night by the banter between Bing
Crosby and some Boy Scot guests, and clapped befoe he remembered. The
second time the rule was broken was on Alec Templeton's guest
appearance. His rendition of the show's theme song "Hail KMH" was so
good the audience couldn't keep from applauding."
Anybody recognize these programs? When did they start to allow
applause? I would have thought that Al Jolson who headed the program
first between August 1933 and 34 would have INSISTED on applause!!!
Furthermore, it is ironic that Alex Templeton is noted here as getting
that exceptional reaction, not that he wasn't a great performer -- he
was --, but that Crosby's Kraft series was noted as being the location
for Victor Borge's wildly successful debut a few months after this issue
was published. Templeton did a lot of the same sort of piano parodies
and vocal twistings that Borge did, and I've always wondered why Borge
had not been pegged as a copycat.
And "Hail KMH"?????? What happened to "Where the Blue of the Night
Meets the Gold of the Day"?

It has been previously reported on this Digest that a new Lone Ranger
movie is in the works and that Johnny Depp might be playing Tonto.
Depp confirmed this yesterday in Annapolis, MD where his 156 luxury
yacht "Vajoliroja" is temporarily docked, attracting throngs of news
media. Depp will next star in the fourth of the "Pirates of the
Caribbean" series sub-titled "On Stranger Tides." By the time that
motion picure is released in summer 2011, Depp will have finished
filming his next movie "The Lone Ranger" in which he will be the co-
lead in the role of Tonto.
No release date for this Masked Rider of the Plains has been projected.

Subject: Shadow question
Just as Martin Grams suggested, the new Shadow "Strange Puzzles" set from
Radio Spirits is quite good, and Bill Nadel's liner notes (should they be
called liner notes any more?) are fascinating. He identifies voices and
relationships among the actors that make it a better read than some of the
plots of the shows!
He does mention on the final page that there was a time when Morrison filled
in for Berry Kroeger on The Haunting Hour, and that six years later "when the
Shadow had expanded to 52 episodes a year" that Morrison needed a vacation
and Kroeger filled in, repaying the favor. I had never heard this before and
wondered what the date of such a show was, and, of course, if the recording
exists.

Subject: The Guiding Light, RIP
The world's longest running TV soap opera was kicked to the curb by
CBS on Friday, September 18, 2009. "The Guiding Light," a brilliant
creation of Irna Phillips, debuted on radio January 25, 1937 and ran
on network radio until June 29, 1956. By that time, it had already
logged four years on television, from June 30, 1952. All in all, over
its 72 year run, it accumulated 15,762 episodes on radio and television.
One would probably think that CBS would have tipped its hat to such a
series, if not just in terms of its longevity, in terms of its
quality. Over the seven decades, it had captured 368 nominations for
various awards of excellence and won 95 Emmies and other tributes for
cast and crew. One might further hope that some brief tribute would
accompany this last TV episode. If so, one would be terribly
disappointed, as was I while watching that last episode.
The opening encouraged my hopes; in the span of perhaps four seconds,
it showed the opening title of "the Guiding Light" with about a half
dozen titles from the "old days" including some in black and white.
"This looks promising" I told myself. But then it was non-stop
through dozens of plot lines, trying to resolve them all in less than
an hour, interspersed with commercials.
At the half hour break, I waited for CBS to announce we were watching
the 15,762nd and last episode of this venerable soap opera. Nothing
happened at the break, so I began to become nervous as I awaited the
end of the program. When the last scene faded out at 10:57 AM, I
silently cheered, expecting the CBS had saved the last three minutes
to mention Irna, the radio history, and TV era.
But instead, CBS crassly aired three solid minutes of commercials,
including Plumbers' Helper, Hour Eyes, and [removed] So in a
blink of commercials, 72 years went down the drain.
To add insult to injury, CBS announced later that day that the time
slot for "The Guiding Light" would be filled with re-runs of "The
Price is Right" until some new episodes of "Let's Make A Deal" can be
churned out later.

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!
