Subject:  The Cinnamon Bear!

Dear Reader:

Hi, everybody!  I hope by now you have established a schedule for playing
episodes of "The Cinnamon Bear."  Remember, there are 26 installments
(available everywhere).  They should be programmed between Thanksgiving
Day and Christmas Day.  Research by First Generation Radio Archives has
determined that the very first episode was broadcast in the USA on Friday,
November 26, 1937, so you will be carrying on a tradition lasting over
eighty years!

As a reminder, my friends, November 29 is the day to begin "The Cinnamon
Bear."  If you play one 15 minute segment a day, the story will conclude
on Christmas Eve.

Your family will thrill to the adventures of Paddy, Jimmy and Judy Barton,
and the Crazy Quilt Dragon, as they search Maybeland for the missing silver
star that goes atop the Barton family Christmas tree. If you don't have the
program tapes, all the clubs and dealers have them, most of whom write to
this list. YES, It is time once again to celebrate THE CINNAMON BEAR, first
heard in 1937.

Charlie helped me make the Maybeland map and the eleven songs in the serial
more accessible to you this year.  Just go to:

[removed]

You can print them off and use them as you listen with your kids to the
program.  You'll have so much fun.

It is golden age radio at its best, with the actors who are so familiar to
you---Joseph Kearns, Elvia Allman, Gale Gordon, Frank Nelson, Martha
Wentworth, Barbara Jean Wong, Verna Felton, Hanley Stafford, Elliott Lewis,
Lou Merrill, Howard McNear, and the list goes on and on and on.

As Paddy himself says, "I'd be much obliged to you!"

Sincerely,

Dennis Crow

(via and mildly edited by Charlie Summers. For those who didn't know Dennis,
he was the best friend a short stubby little teddy bear could ever [removed]
he was in love with the magic and wonder of The Cinnamon Bear and never
missed an opportunity to talk about the story. He was a friend to this
Digest, but a better friend to my daughter, who each year shortly before
Judy and Jimmy went to the attic would receive a small gift from Dennis
related to The Cinnamon Bear. She still lovingly places the Cinnamon
Bear ornament on our Christmas Tree each year. He passed away in 2008,
and will be fondly remembered here on the Digest for as long as I operate
it.

The best-sounding set of this series, and the version played each year
here at Chez Charlie, is available from Radio Archives - see:

[removed]

..for more details. Also, there is a free iCalendar schedule for import
into any modern calendar application attached to the blog post at:

[removed]

..that will let you track which episode should be played each day, in case
you get a day or two behind the way we generally do. Again, the first
episode, assuming you listen to one episode every day including weekends,
should be heard on November 29th, so the story will end on Christmas
eve. My apologies for being a little late.  --cfs3)

Subject:  Groucho on Radio

A. Joseph Ross asked if "Flywheel, Shyster & Flywheel" was Groucho's first
radio appearance in 1932.

Yes, it debuted on 11-28-32 as part of a multi-night series called "Five Star
Theatre" sponsored by Esso Gasoline.  However this program of Groucho and
Chico was first called "Beagle, Shyster & Beagle" for the first three
episodes. A real attorney, whose name was Beagle, threatened to sue NBC Blue
and so the title was revised.

The Marx Brothers were on Monday night for "Five Star Theatre," Josef Bonime
(Polish composer and conductor) was on Tuesdays, and Arborn Opera Company was
on Thursday evenings. I can't remember who was on Wednesdays and Fridays.

Hello fellow friends of OTR.  I have been reading through OTR Handbook by
Dunning and have found some programs there that I would love to hear/have if
they exist today.  What is the best way to find if there are copies of
difficult to find programs somewhere????

Joseph Ross asked --

1932   Groucho Marx performed on radio for the first time.

I suppose I should know the answer, but what was the show? Was it
Flywheel, Shyster & Flywheel (originally Beagle, Shyster & Beagle) or
was it another show?

    Your guess is as good a mine, though the FSF fits that time span.
    Or it could have simply been a guest on a show, or one of those "I'm
happy to be here" movie premiere red carpet events.  But my guess is the
Flywheel show.
