A weekly [removed]

For the best in OTR Chat, join IRC (Internet Relay Chat), StarLink-IRC
Network, the channel name is #OldRadio.  We meet Thursdays at 8 PM Eastern
and go on, and on! The oldest OTR Chat Channel, it has been in existence
over nine years, same time, same channel! Started by Lois Culver, widow

real-time OTR talk!

Our "regulars" include OTR actors, soundmen, collectors, listeners, and
others interested in enjoying OTR from points all over the world. Discussions
range from favorite shows to almost anything else under the sun (sometimes
it's hard for us to stay on-topic)...but even if it isn't always focused,
it's always a good time!

For more info, contact charlie@[removed]. We hope to see you there, this
week and every week!

I'm listening to Jerry of the Circus but haven't found too much on the show
so far.  For those in the know, what might have happened to the two
"missing" episodes?  Is this a recent find?

Subject:  Archival OTR Available

I don't this to come off sounding like I am tooting my own horn, but most of
you may find this of interest. About a month or so ago I started my own blog.

[removed]

The purpose of the blog is to post archival findings that may be of interest
to fans. Example: Already posted is an article and broadcast log for the
entire first season of Duffy's Tavern, a review of the Cincinnati OTR
Convention, Boris Karloff's "lost" radio appearances, and archival
photographs for The Cavalcade of America. I plan (or will "attempt") to post
something of value once a week. If you like what you see, after reading a
number of postings, you can subscribe for free at the bottom of the page so
you are notified every time something new is offered.

Subject:  Tonto is not getting slapped.

In a message dated 5/29/2011 6:18:19 [removed]
<_radioaz@[removed]_> writes:

......comes word  that they are planning a new Lone  Ranger movie.  ArmIe
Hammer is  to portray the masked man and, in a slap  in the face to  native
Americans, Tonto will be played by Johnny Depp.  I  hear  that the story
will
be from the viewpoint of Tonto.  Wonder if  they  know that Tonto means
"stupid?"

Radioaz,

I'm not  sure if it's really a slap in the face.

The actor in his own words. "I  guess I have some Native American in me
somewhere down the line. My  great-grandmother was quite a bit of Native
American, she grew up  Cherokee or maybe Creek Indian. Makes sense in terms
of
coming from  Kentucky, which is rife with Cherokee and Creek."

So, if you're a  Hollywood exec looking for an A-list male actor with
Indian
[removed] Johnny  Depp.

Also, I feel telling the story from Tonto's View is not a slap in  the
face. Having Tonto play second to the Ranger for decades was a few
thousand
[removed]

Writing Tonto as the main character and  having the Ranger be second
string
is a just reward and it's about  time.

As a screenwriter, it sounds to me like this was a wonderful   decision.

Good re-writes are about telling the same old story from a  different
point
of view.

And, as far as Arnie Hammer goes; The  boy has that old-time,  All-American
look. And he can act too. Not such  a bad casting choice.
