    A few evenings ago, while surfing through a NON-OTR site, I discovered an
    early radio program which doesn't seem to be in general circulation - the
    En-Ar-Co Motor Oil Review from 1930.

         The episode features the great 1920s pianist/composer Rube Bloom. The
    announcer is the immortal Ted Husing.

    Pam, I must disagree.

    I have just listened to the 08/16/1952 show, "The Lynching."
    Twice!
    That is definitely Georgia Ellis as Kitty.

    While "The Lynching" is the 17th episode of GUNSMOKE,
    it was only the 5th episode in the Kitty character appeared.

    At this early stage of the series, Georgia Ellis was probably still
    experimenting with the voice for the Kitty character.

    Also, "The Lynching" is the First Episode in which Georgia Ellis
    receives credit as a Series Regular and Not As A Guest Performer.

    Additional Sources of Information:
    GUNSMOKE Script:  08/16/1952 - "The Lynching"
     and
    Norman Macdonnell's Show and Cast Lists

    Both sources list Georgia Ellis.

    The only other woman in the cast of "The Lynching"
    was Joan Danton, who played Mrs. Rice Stewart.

    Signing off for now,

    Parley Baer (Gunsmoke's Chester) grew up in Salt Lake City.  He once told
    me that his first radio job was as an engineer for KSL radio, the
    originating station of the Morman Tabernacle Choir broadcast.

    One of his jobs was working with two other guys to get the Choir's
    program on the air every Sunday morning.  "What nobody who heard that
    program knew," he said with delight, "was that the three people
    responsible for engineering the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's worldwide
    broadcast every week were a Methodist, a Presbyterian, and a Jew."

    On one of the podcasts that I subscribe to someone mentioned the Gumps. They
    were looking for the origination of the phrase as rich as Bin Gump.
    Apparently the Gumps was a comic strip which was quite popular in the 1920's
    and beyond. The announcer also stated that there was a radio program which
    was based on the comic strip. Does anyone know of such a program? Do any
    copies of the program exist.

    The link for more information on the comic strip is:

    	Well, it sounds a lot like Georgia Ellis with a higher pitched
    voice.  Inflections are similar as well.
    The show "The Lynching" was from 8/16/52.  The only other person who
    is female who received credit was Joan Danton.
    This actress plays Kitty with a bit more of a theatrical cultured
    vocal range, so you may be right.

    I've thumbed through it. It's mostly scholarly academic essays with
    footnotes. Lots of interesting nuggets of information even if you don't
    always agree with the authors' viewpoint. The first part of the book (six
    chapters out of eighteen, I believe) is all about radio. Topics include:
    competition between NBC and CBS in the 1920s and '30s; a discussion of the
    series "America's Town Meeting of the Air"; NBC's treatment of business vs.
    labor; NBC's divestment of the Blue network; NBC's coverage of Jewish issues
    during the war, and the late '40s "talent raids."

    Of course, you also get stuff like "Sex as a Weapon: Programming Sexuality in
    the 1970s" and "How NBC Killed Star Trek."
