    Subject:  Christmas , Film, OTR

    I received "Lady in the Lake" from Netflix during Christmas week, a
    coincidence, as I didn't  know it was set around Christmas.  Part of one
    scene includes a radio playing  the end of "A Christmas Carol."  Wonder if
    it was a real transcription or just someone reading the lines for the movie?

    BTW, it was an interesting (and unusual) approach to a mystery film.

    Subject:  Cleaning ETs

    Hi, Joe.

    The white substance is usually referred to as palmitic acid and it
    often forms on the various kinds of "instananeous" ([removed], not
    commercially pressed) records and transcriptions. It's easy to clean,
    all you need is a little Windex and a soft toothbrush. Spray the
    surface with a few squirts of Windex. Then, gently brush the entire
    surface (following the groove direction) with the toothbrush and wipe
    dry. I always finish with a distilled-water rinse (I spray distilled
    water over the surface, then wipe dry with a clean cloth or towel).
    If the surface is still dirty, repeat the process using a mixture of
    regular dish washing detergent and water (I  use regular blue "Dawn"
    -- 5% Dawn and 95% water). Of course, it goes without saying that you
    should be extra careful around the cracks where the lacquer is
    flaking off!

    As a side note, Windex is generally safe for cleaning instantaneous
    transcriptions, but don't ever use Windex for cleaning commercial
    shellac 78s! (Instead, use the  the detergent and water mixture for
    78s.)

    Good luck!

    Subject:  Tales from Ivory Towers

    I'm wondering if there are any episodes of "Tales from Ivory Towers" in
    circulation. It is listed in the Goldin index, but I haven't found any
    anywhere. It's a 15 minute children's program which adapted some 1930s
    and 40s children's books, and was sponsored by the American Dental
    Association.  Anyone know if any of these are actually available?

    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

    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!

    week and every week!

    Subject:  re: Jeannette Nolan

    I really hope someone write a book on her sometime. And Frank Nelson. And
    Iris Adrian. And many of the other supporting players that have been
    overlooked so long. I'd publish them! At least there Is someone doing a
    Parley Baer book now.

    Old radio. Old movies. New books.
