Can anyone tell me when "Temple of Vampires" was originally broadcast?

Was it performed more than once (as I understand some of the stories 
were--repeated several years later in a different incarnation of the series).

Thanks for your help.

Message-ID: <[removed]@[removed]>

  My wife, just bought me, a tape of an episode of The Shadow entitled "The 
  Devil Takes A Wife" starring Bret Morrison, OBD December 8, 1946. The 
  sponsor is Carey's Salt, but there are only mentioned at the end of the 
  episode. It is a full commercial, offering a gold watch for the most 
  original use of Carry's Salt. There is a further announcement after the 
  program asking everyone to go to church and be a part of United Church 
  Canda (sic?).
  I have aprox. 125 shadow episodes in my collection and
  I know Goodrich tires sponsored the Shadow prior to Blue Coal, but I have 
  never heard of Carey's Salt. They also mention that Carey's Salt will 
  bring you another episode next week, and the winner of the gold watch 
  will be announced in 3 weeks, so they must have been a sponsor for at 
  least a month.
  
  Can anyone provide an more info. of Cary's salt. The network announcer 
  says this is the Mutual Broadcasting System, so I think it may not have 
  been a local Sponsor.

Message-ID: <[removed]@[removed]>

Hi gang,
Last thursday, I saw a film on the Swedish channel 4. They're putting
on old goodies almost every afternoon during the summer. This movie
was:
The ghost and Mrs, Muir, from 1947 with Gene tierney and Rex Harrison.
I found it delightful, and after watching it I checked if it had been
done on the lux radio theater. So it had, but unfortunately not with
the same actors (Tierney was wonderful). Nevertheless, I'd like to get
it. According to the lux book it shall be available but I've not found
it in the catalogs I've searched. Does anyone know where I can buy it
or trade?
By the way, why didn't they use the original actors? I though that was
the general idea of lux.

All the best

In the 1960's, my interest in old time radio and radio in general began as a
result of rebroadcasts on the original WCAR Radio hosted by local personality
Warren Pierce here in the Detroit area when it was at 1130 KHz.   Those call
letters were shortly moved to 1090 KHz where they are to this day.

I later became Chief Engineer of that station and host and producer of The
Radio Vault.

Recently the station was purchased by Childrens Broadcasting Corporation--
satellite/computer driven Radio Aahs.

>From 10PM-12 midnight 6/30/96, I will host a Radio Vault retrospective, which
will be the last show to be broadcast from WCAR's old format that has been in
place over 30 years, and the last of the Radio Vault in the area.  It will
also be the last show of any KIND to originate from Studio A.   Those in the
area are welcome to call in to share memories.  The studio number is (313)
525-1090.  It is rare that you actually KNOW when you're actually doing your
last show in this business, and management sometimes doesn't want you to say
anything when you do know.  In my case I'm lucky to have the freedom to do
what I want within reason of course.

It really took me only about 3 twelve hour days to set up the new equipment
in Studio B for the automated format.  It's amazing how a station with such
heritage can be changed almost overnight.  Since I'm still the Chief techie
guy, I'm also the one who gets to throw the patch at midnight for the
[removed] 
That's one small step for Radio Aahs;  One giant leap into oblivion for
locally produced OTR programming.

Give a listen if you're in the [removed]  join me for a fond farewell and a
welcome to the new high tech format for children ages 2-12 and their parents.

Egad, caught with my sidekicks down. I recall one of the sidekicks
(Devine?) was too hefty for a horse and used a jeep. I do remember
that Roy Rodgers worked through a number of sidekicks. There must
be a book on the vital subject of sidekicks.
My favorite in otr days was:
"Si Cisco, the sheriff, he is getting closer."
"This way Pancho! Follow!"

I love the Tonto story when the actor got lost in the script
and he knew it was a throw away line and adlibbed: "Uh, Kinosabe,
Giddemup Scout." But they were doing a bag job on the bad guys
second floor hotel room at the time. Had to play a lot of Liszt
to recover from that one.

I have been an OTR listener for many years and have a fairly good
collection.  I am interested if there is an OTR club in Utah or if there
are any OTR fans that would be interested in forming an OTR club in Utah.
Please let me know if there is any interest.  I have just recently joined
the RHAC (Radio Historical Association of Colorado) and would be interested
in other OTR clubs.  Thanks

	Anyone know how many of these have been done, and how to get them.
I've been asked to track one down, that seems to be out of print.  And 
how are they?  Any good?  I've never run across them.
	I did find a small distributer of apparently locally produced "radio
drama" on tape near Woodstock, NY - a place called Phoenicia. Don't have them
with me, or I'd give you the name of the outfit. I picked up two of the four
they had (they being a thruway giftshop).
	Both were marked Volume Two - the first I tried to listen to was about
a Rocky Mountains Native American in the Gold Rush years, who starts a 
detective service in San Francisco. The writing and performance were both 
dull, and production next to nil.  I gave up about 10" in, flipped the tape
to hear the end [removed], a door slam!  And music!
	The other tape was better - a series about a trucker, the story called
"I Break For Endangered Species" (No I'm not making this up!) Yes kids, 
you too can produce books on tape! To be fair, I didn't listen to much of 
that one either, but the main performer was OK, and the story started off ok.
If anyone wants details, I'll dig the tapes out.  They also had at least 
one humor tape, but I passed on them.
	But back to the original point: The Star Wars story I'm ooking for
is "Dark Lords of the Sith" by Kevin J Anderson and Tom Veitch.  Anyone 
have a lead? - Thanks, Max

Message-Id: <[removed]@[removed]>

Much discussion posted here lately about the time frame of Old Time 
Radio. I would like to contribute a thought which stemmed from a 
group of fired and retired broadcasters who gathered last fall 
(before I knew about OTR) to have a sip, and tell lies.
The group included a former VP of The Radio and Television News 
Directors (RTNDA), a Country Music vetern DeeJay, a "Pop" music 
Program Director, a cheif of a commercial department (head writer) 
and profesional musician, and the host (me) with 53 years in 
broadcasting.
The News Director said to the writer, "Do you miss the business Bob?"
His answer: "I sure miss the way it was----not the way it is now."

Anyone who does Radio as it was, is doing Old Time Radio, even if its 
next week.
