 From Those Were The Days

12/25

1931   Lawrence Tibbett was the featured vocalist as radio came to the
Metropolitan Opera House in New York City. The first opera was Hansel
und Gretel, heard on the NBC network of stations. In between acts of the
opera, moderator Olin Downes would conduct an opera quiz, asking
celebrity guests opera related questions. The program's host and
announcer was Milton Cross. He worked out of the Met's Box 44.

1937   Arturo Toscanini conducted the first broadcast of Symphony of the
Air over NBC.

1939   The Charles Dickens classic, A Christmas Carol, was read by
Lionel Barrymore on The Campbell Playhouse on CBS.  The reading of the
tale was an annual radio event for years.

1942   The longest, sponsored program in the history of broadcasting was
heard on NBC Blue network. The daylong Victory Parade's Christmas Party
of Spotlight Bands was heard over 142 radio stations. The marathon
broadcast was sponsored by Coca Cola.

12/26

1953   Big Sister was heard for the last time on CBS. The show had been
on the air for 17 years. Big Sister was the ongoing story of Sue Evans
Miller and her relationship with her big sister, Ruth Evans. Actresses
who played big sister Ruth over the years: Alice Frost, Nancy Marshall,
Marjorie Anderson, Mercedes McCambridge. Little Sister Sue was played by
Haila Stoddard, Dorothy McGuire, Peggy Conklin and Fran Carlon.

1954   One of radio's most popular programs, The Shadow, lurked around
the airwaves for the last time. Vigilante crime fighter Lamont Cranston
battled greed and corruption since 1930. "Who knows what evil lurks in
the hearts of men? The Shadow [removed]"  (Aside: The other evening a
co-worker asked if I wanted to shadow box.  I told him you can't box
with The Shadow, since he has the ability to cloud men's minds and you
don't know where he is.  The co-worker, in his 20s, got what I was
talking about!  Maybe there's hope yet.  (Or he remembered that dreadful
movie of a few years ago).

12/27

1932   Radio City Music Hall, in New York City, opened. It was the
largest indoor theatre in the world. The gala grand opening show was a
six hour extravaganza that lost half a million dollars within three
weeks. The theatre has since been renovated to recapture its original
decorative charm. An Art Deco cathedral of entertainment, it seats more
than 6,200 people and is still a must see for those visiting New York.
During the holiday season, audiences continue to get a kick out of
seeing the world famous Rockettes perform in precision on Radio City
Music Hall's nearly 10,000 square foot stage.

1939   The Glenn Miller Show, also known as Music that Satisfies,
started on CBS. The 15 minute, twice a week show was sponsored by
Chesterfield cigarettes and was heard for nearly three years.

1940   Singer Al Jolson and actress Ruby Keeler were divorced after 12
years of marriage. They had separated a year earlier; but Jolson talked
Keeler into co starring with him in the Broadway show, Hold on to Your
Hats. She left the show before the opening and then left the marriage.

1968   The Breakfast Club signed off for the last time on ABC, after 35
years on the air.

12/28

1941   The Helen Hayes Theater, on CBS, was called the first casualty of
World War II. Lipton Tea dropped sponsorship of the program as it
prepared for shortages in tea imports from India.

12/29

1945   The mystery voice of Mr. Hush was heard for the first time on
Truth or Consequences, hosted by Ralph Edwards. The feature was intended
as a spoof of giveaway shows. However, the idea was taken seriously and
lasted five weeks before fighter Jack Dempsey was identified as Mr. Hush
    for a prize of $13,500.  ($159,219 in 2009 dollars).

12/30

1936   The famous feud between Jack Benny and Fred Allen was ignited.
After a 10 year old performer finished a violin solo on The Fred Allen
Show.  Allen's comment on the East Coast broadcast was, "What do you
know, Murray? A little fella in the fifth grade at school and already he
plays better than Jack Benny."  This got four seconds of laughter, and
the show moved on.  It didn't take long for Mr. Benny to respond. The
humorous feud lasted until Allen's death in 1956.

1942   Mr. and Mrs. North debuted on NBC. Joseph Curtin played Jerry
North and Alice Frost played Pam. A typical Mr. and Mrs. North episode
would find Pam leading Jerry on what seemed to be a wild goose chase as
they tracked down criminals. Pam always ended up being right and leading
police to the criminals. The theme song for the show was The Way You
Look Tonight. Sponsors included Woodbury soap, Jergens lotion and Halo
shampoo.

12/31

 From This Day in History --

1929 - Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians' first New Year's Eve
broadcast from the Roosevelt Grill in New York City, which became an
annual event, was heard over the CBS network.

 From Those Were The Days

1940   As a result of a dispute between the radio networks and ASCAP
(the American Society of Composers and Publishers), the radio industry
was prevented from playing any ASCAP licensed music. The ban lasted for
ten months. An ASCAP competitor, BMI (Broadcast Music Incorporated) made
giant strides, expanding to include 36,000 copyrights. Many radio
stations had to resort to playing public domain songs, such as marches
and operas, to keep their stations on the air. Even kids songs were
played over and over again until the ban was lifted. One of the most
popular songs to be played was Happy Birthday to You; which was
performed in many different languages just to get past the ban. The
original song is now, in fact, a copyrighted piece of music, though it
wasn't at the time.

1947   Roy Rogers, 'the King of the Cowboys', and Dale Evans were
hitched in marriage. They rode off into that sunset together for over
fifty years.
