Subject: The 20th Amendment
Date: Tue, 3 Feb 2009 19:35:58 -0500
From: Herb Harrison <[removed]@[removed];
BTW, FDR was elected in 1932, and took office in March, 1933. His was
the request that convinced Congress to move the start of Presidential
terms from March to January.
The 20th Amendment, which changed the start of Presidential and
Congressional terms and also fixed a number of other constitutional
glitches, was passed by Congress on 2 March 1932, before Roosevelt's
election, or even his nomination for President. It was ratified by
the necessary number of states on 23 January 1933. Under its
provisions, the changes in the start date of Congressional and
Presidential terms did not take effect until 15 October 1933.

Subject: Collecting on a budget
In these days of economic uncertainty, I'm sure many OTR-fans have cut back
the budget for OTR. However, one doesn't necessarily have to cut sound
quality to save money. Prices from any dealers are less than they were in
the 1970s, so in that sense, bargains are literally everywhere. There are
also venerable lending libraries, such as SPERDVAC and RHAC - I've tried
both; both have good quality generally in the reel
libraries. Reel-to-reels are excellent values; you get a lot of shows, for
not that much money. however, you put the sweat equity into them by
transferring them, time-correcting, etc. Such clubs also offer CD libraries.
Then there's the OTR dealer route; (I don't financially benefit from
any
of them). The Radio Legends sets from Radio Archives are in my opinion, a
stellar value; very good quality generally for about 20 bucks. Sometimes
the lo-gen stuff has to be time-corrected (I haven't had any problems with
the first gen stuff), but if you know how to do that, you're good to
go. Then there's the wonderful old-school dealer Ed Carr, who offers great
quality for not a lot of money, and I also noticed Audio Classics has a
lending library.
If you happen to be close to any of the major OTR conventions; CDs are
usually available at bargain rates, and there are usually reel-to-reels for
sale (although it's a crapshoot on them).
Most of the OTR dealers are great; and I didn't mean to snub any if
they
weren't mentioned. It's great to support almost any of the better-quality
dealers.
I've been heavy into the lending libraries (SPERDVAC/RHAC). The
toaster
oven has been quite busy to bake coated reels, getting them ready for transfer.

Subject: Fireside chats' power
X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: from multipart/alternative
X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: Alternative section used was text/plain
Mr. Ross asked about the audience for FDR's Fireside Chats. In May
1941, declaring an 'unlimited national emergency' in the wake of
increasing Nazi sub and sea raider attacks in the Atlantic, FDR
delivered the most widely heard chat until that date - 70% of all homes
of US, audience of 85 million, according to Hooper ratings.
NY
Times reported little traffic in Times Square during the chat; crowds
gathered around cab stands and storefronts to hear it. The NY telephone
co. reported a drop of 50% in calls during time of speech. In movie
theaters, audiences left their seats to hear the speech in the lobby;
at NY's Polo Grounds, the game between the Giants and Braves was halted
after seven innings so that crowd of 17,000 and players could hear the
speech over PA system.
The power of radio was amplified because in those days, Americans wanted to
listen to what the president had to say. Another era, another America.

Subject: Quiet Please
To my knowledge, the Museum of TV & Radio has three non-circulating episodes.
Two in New York City and one in Los Angeles. The Broadcasting archive at
College Park in Maryland on the Univerity of Maryland campus has all the
scripts to the "lost" episodes. I was lucky enough to copy them a few years
ago and have since read them here at the house. Half of the lost episodes are
good, the other half are poorly plotted, but anyone who has heard a number of
episodes can envision Ernest Chappell in the lead voice perfectly.
What I would love to hear are the episodes in beautiful sound quality. I
purchased a complete set from Radio Yesteryear ten or so years ago and then
two years ago I bought the complete series again from an OTR vendor who
claimed they were "restored" and all the scratches from the transcription
discs had been cleaned up. He was full of it as they sounded no different
from what I had previous. Hopefully one day someone will take the discs and
cleane them up so they sound much better. Half a dozen are hard to listen to
because of all the scratches.

Hello,
Can anyone on the list identify the radio play that was the source
for the 1951 Tay Garnett movie starring Loretta Young, cause for
alarm? References about the film say it was based on a radio play,
and credit Larry Marcus for the story, but can one hear the radio

Subject: Chandu, the Magician
My purpose in writing this is not to add any unknown information for the
proposed new book. If I knew anything new, I would share it. But, I cannot
let the mention of Chandu go by in the Digest without mentioning (as Dunning,
in his first book, did not) that the announcer was Howard Culver, in the 1948
reprise of the show. (I could not listen to it in 1932; that would have been
impossible since I was born in 1935!) Yes!!! Howard Culver!!! Steve Adams,
otherwise known as Straight Arrow. White King Soap was the sponsor, and they
emphasized that it was REAL soap, not detergent. I have always wondered why a
kid's show would be sponsored by a washing machine soap. There was an organ
on the show, as there was on many shows, but the strange difference here was
that the organist pounded music during the commercials. I think Howard
Culver must have been one of the few announcer in history who read a
commercial with bombastic organ music in the background.
We all know, I hope, that our wonderful Lois Culver, who hosts the OTR chat
room on Thursday nights,is the widow of Howard. Lois also worked in the
radio industry, for a great Los Angeles station, still in existence, clear
channel KFI. KFI at that time carried NBC programs. Before moving to Oregon,
she lived in Hacienda Heights, CA, where I taught school for 35 years. Small
world. That town is not that big.
My dear friend, Veola Vonn, who played Princess Nadji on Chandu, had told me
that the program was broadcast from the old KHJ building on Melrose.
Angelenos will know that building because it is practically on Paramount's
property, and it still stands, although the station KHJ is long gone.

The proposed book about the 8 films in 'The Whistler' series will be
interesting, I'm sure but why is there no book on the radio series? There
were
nearly 700 shows broadcast between 1942 and 1955, of which about 500 are
available
but I know of no book having been written about them. I hope someone will
soon write such a book that I feel would sell really well.

From Those Were The Days
2/8
1924 John Joseph Carty of the Bell Telephone System spoke in Chicago,
IL. His speech was carried across the nation on the first coast to coast
radio hookup. An estimated 50 million people heard the speech.
2/11
1940 NBC presented The Chamber Music Society of Lower Basin Street for
the first time. The famous Blue network series included several
distinguished alumni, among them, Dinah Shore and Zero Mostel. The
chairman, or host, of The Chamber Music Society of Lower Basin Street
was Milton Cross. He would say things like, "A Bostonian looks like he's
smelling something. A New Yorker looks like he's found it." The show
combined satire, blues and jazz and was built around what were called
the three Bs of music: Barrelhouse, Boogie Woogie and Blues.
2/12
1924 Calvin Coolidge, known by many as the 'Silent Cal', made the
first presidential political speech on radio. The speech originated from
New York City and was broadcast on five radio stations. Some five
million people tuned in to hear the President speak.
1924 The Eveready Hour became radio's first sponsored network program.
The National Carbon Company took the honor of being the first sponsor of
a network show.
1940 Mutual presented the first broadcast of Superman. The identity of
the man from planet Krypton was unknown to listeners for six years. The
secret eventually leaked out that Superman's voice was actually that of
Bud Collyer.
1956- Wild Bill Hickok (and Jingles) rode off into the sunset on Mutual
for the last time, having been on radio since 27 May 1951.
2/13
1939 Virginia Payne, already popular as the voice of Ma Perkins, took
on a new character in NBC's soap opera, The Carters of Elm Street.
Virginia played the part of Mrs. Carter.
1943 Frank Sinatra made his debut as vocalist on radio's Your Hit
Parade this night. Frankie had left the Tommy Dorsey Band just four
months prior to beginning the radio program. He was described as,
"...the biggest name in the business." (This is a correction from last
week).
