On some commercials from Great Gildersleeve (i think 1944-45) the announcer
mentions a cheese food product called Pabsette. It sounds like a
Velveeta-type food. Does anyone remember this product? It has such a
peculiar name for food.

I was spinning my radio dial this evening and came across the last minute
of Paul Harvey's broadcast on the ABC Radio Network. He was talking about 
Sam & Henry and how some guy had convinced them that they could make it big
on network radio. Then Harvey said a la Bill Stern "that man went on to
discover a little restaurant named McDonald's and his name was Ray Kroc!"
What?????

I drove to the library but the only book on Amos & Andy was checked out. The 
book by John F. Love about McDonald's "McDonalds: Behind The Golden Arches"
gives a short biography of Kroc and it mentions that Kroc worked for the 
Lily Cup Company in Chicago in 1922 and that he moonlighted playing the piano
on a radio station. He left for Florida after that year and never came back 
until after the bust there in 1926. It never mentions any connection between 
him and radio again. 

Does anybody know anything about this?

Phillip Marlowe, Adventures of.  Review 6 of 15
Starring Gerald Mohr.  From the cassette lending library of North American Radio
Archives (NARA)

NARA Cassette 7218 Side A 8/20/49.  The Lady Killer

Marlowe is offered a couple of hundred bucks to be a bodyguard for a part time
gigolo and composer but his ethics get in the way and he declines even though
his bills are piling up.  A desperate phone call from the prospective client
sends Phillip out to Coldwater Canyon where he finds that he's taken the case
whether he wants to or not.  A familiar scenario: a rich old husband, a bored
young wife and a too handsome male friend.  We almost find out Phillip's office
address on Cahuenga.  Was there ever a motel at 1000 Santa Monica Blvd?

NARA Cassette 7218 side B 8/27/49.  The Eager Witness

Phillip starts off in an unusual setting.  He is in court testifying as a
prosecution witness in a murder case against a notorious bookie.  The case falls
apart because of an iron-clad alibi from an unimpeachable source.  Court is
adjourned and he has only the one evening to straighten everything out.  Court
room dramas always have a large mob of babbling spectators and I can imagine
anyone who happens to be in the studio at the time (musicians, producer,
director, janitor and the coffee gofer) being pressed into service.  "One more
outburst like that and I will be forced to clear the courtroom". 

That's 30 for tonight
