    Subject:  Re: foreign accents on OTR

    Hello again--

    Speaking of foreign accents, I've always wondered which part of England that
    "reporter for the London Times" came from in 'Frontier Gentleman.' John
    Dehner was a terrific radio actor who came too late into his own (c. 1958)
    to be fully appreciated, and "Frontier Gentleman" was a great show, same
    comment, but I've been all over England many times and have yet to hear the
    accent that J. B. Kendall used. Was Dehner consciously trying to avoid a
    similarity to the stereotyped upper-class English twit so often heard on the
    comedy shows of the time?

    Sean Dougherty asked:

    Andy Devin was a character actor with very raspy voice and was over
    weight. He was seni-regular guest on the Benny Program in the 30's and
    40's and was on many other programs as a guest.
     In 1951 he was  Guy Madison's side kick, "Jingles" on Kellogg Cereals
    "Wild Bill Hickok" until [removed] dropped the show and it was multi
    sponsored until 1956. The show went to TV, with the same cast from 1951 -56

    2) When he wasn't pushing  Johnson's Glo-Coat on "Fibber McGee and Molly,",
    Harlow Wilcox was busy selling  Auto-Lite spark plugs and its other products
    on
    "Suspense." On a few shows, I  heard him mention a new spark plug that
    wouldn't cause radio and TV  interference. Was that a problem back then? I
    have a
    vague memory of the picture  on our tiny TV flipping and flipping while a car
    idled outside, but I may be  misremembering.

    The answer is YES.  Spark plugs caused a lot of  problems with reception.  In
    the rabbit ears days of TV, the whine could be  heard and it would change as
    the car accelerated.

    Sounds like a NPR Car  Talk question as to why this happened.

    Onne must remember what the first radios were really just static generators
    that sent an agreed upon message.

    Happily haven't thought about the  spark plug problem in quite a while. Went
    the way of carburetors I  guess.

    Dear Kathy-

    As a present member of the former, and a "child" of the latter, I know that
    all well!

    Back to THE LUTHERAN HOUR:

    It's present, half-hour, "multi-transcription" (pieces recorded at  different
    times)
    format is distinct from it's early, one-hour, live production. There are a
    small handful
    of vintage broadcasts circulating, and they make for fascinating  listening.

    Lovers of "old-fashioned" public speaking might be interested in Dr.  Meier's
    style; Rev.
    Billy Graham claims him as a big influence. And the live, large-chorus,
    well-produced &
    engineered music can be very powerful.

    There's a terrific book covering these years, A MAN SPOKE, A WORLD LISTENED
    (and at its height, there was considerable truth to that) that does  not
    stint in covering
    the details of early radio: production, networking, financing, etc.

    Best,
    -Craig W.

    Subject:  Ubangi's

       With the discussion on whether or not Fred Allen's remarks about
    seeking shade under a Ubangi is racist or not, the fact remains that
    women of the Ubangi tribe did place large plates in their upper and
    lower lips, which was seen as attractive.  The Ubangi tribe were natives
    in the Congo/Zaire region.  Young girls had small plates placed in their
    lips between the lip and jaw/upper palate.  As they grew the plates
    became larger.  Thus, Allen wasn't saying anything racist (imo) but
    merely that there would be shade under these plates.  (I recall seeing
    pictures of these women in the National Geographic 50+ years ago).
       And there were other tribes who thought beauty was having extremely
    large looped ear rings, which stretched their lobes out of a normal shape.
       And the Chinese had foot binding.
       And in this country there is a big industry in plastic surgery with
    certain enlargements.
       Some times it seems people believe nature needs a lot of help with

    I am researching some 1960s-era radio commercials for the Clark Oil and
    Refining Corp., Midwest oil company. Does anyone have a contact for two Jack
    Benny radio and TV
    program co-stars - Dennis Day and Frank Nelson? The contact might be a
    surviving relative
    or former business agent.  Contact me off-line, please.
