     From Those Were The Days

    4/17

    1933   Backed by the On the Trail portion of the magnificent Grand
    Canyon Suite, Johnny Roventini, pillbox hat and all, uttered the words
    "Call for Philip Morris" for the first time on radio. The famous phrase
    was said in perfect B flat pitch and tone to perfectly match the
    accompanying music. This "Call for Philip Morris" phrase became one of
    the most famous in all of advertising.

    1935   People gathered around to listen for the first time to what would
    become the ultimate horror show on NBC, Lights Out.

    4/19

    1924   The WLS Barn Dance began airing on WLS.

    4/20

    1935    Your Hit Parade was first broadcast.

    1947   Fred Allen didn't find things so funny when censors cut him off
    the air during his broadcast. Allen was telling a joke about a mythical
    network vice president when he was suddenly taken off the air. One
    moment [removed]

    4/21

    1940   Take It or Leave It, was first heard on CBS on this day. Bob Hawk
    offered contestants a top prize of $64 ($1,113 in 2017 dollars).  No,
    there were no lovely parting gifts or consolation prizes.  Losers just left.

    1949   The prestigious George Foster Peabody Award for Broadcasting was
    presented to You Bet Your Life star, "The one, the only, Groucho
    (Marx)." This was the first time the honor had been awarded to a comedian.

    Subject:  Empty Cassette Boxes

    Sorry to put a for sale item on the list, but hopefully some fellow OTR
    collector may be interested.  I am cleaning out my basement, and have
    several empty cassette boxes.  Never used - full size hard plastic
    Norelco type boxes - black with clear covers - still in original cartons.
    I purchased these from Polyline a decade or two ago for a reel to reel
    conversion project that never got off the ground.  Packed 250 to a
    carton.  $25 per carton (10c per piece) plus shipping from Cincinnati.
    Also have some cassette notebooks and VHS slip covers. Thanx.
