    Barbara,

     There is one complete 15-minute segment of this 12-hour broadcast in
    circulation. It is a 15-minute segment featuring Benny Goodman & Orch
    that was scheduled to appear on the 12/25/1942 Spotlight Band broadcast
    regardless of the other 11:45 portion of the broadcast that
    Coca-Cola titled "Uncle Sam's Christmas Tree". Other than that, I am aware
    of fragments of at least three other bands from that broadcast including
    Gene Krupa and Freddie Slack.

    Subject:  sound effects

    I have two things here.  First is an observation and second a specific
    question.

    I have found that as the age of a show increases the more diverting the
    sound effects tend to be.  By that I mean both in quality and how they are
    used they can tend to take one's attentionawayfrom
      the situation and plot and draw attention to themselves.  As the otr radio
    era went on this seems to have improved and the diversion became less a
    problem.

    I have wondered how muchthis had to do with the ear being educated in sound
    effects.  In early times any effect no matter how rough, for lack of a
    better word, was enough and did not divert.  But as time went on the
    listeners perception was sharpened to effects.  I can't think this was all
    due to advances in sound effect production.

    Here I might mention that the 'powder river' effects are first rate in all
    respects, as are in general those of all the other 'imagination theater'
    productions.  The only possible exception to the latter is that it seems to
    my ear someone leans too hard on the reverb effect to suggest large spaces
    and/or reflective walls.  It draws too much attention to itself as above.
    The ear/brain needs only a slight clue and does the rest.

    Now the specific question.  Auto sound effects were common.  There seems to
    b a standard recording that was used for acceleration and going through
    gears.  It was widely used and can be heard on many many shows almost to
    the exclusion of other effects it seems to me.

    For constant or slight variation inmotor speed and in coming to a stop I
    have wondered if there was a machine that was used.  When coming to a stop
    there is a sudden lowering in frequency of the motor sound and sometimes a
    squeak of brakes.  The slowing down brings attention to itself because it
    is far too short and what is used
      as a normal stop would be as presented an emergency stop.  Was there a
    machine with a control that was used to decrease some constant motor
    soundor was it too a recording or set of them

    in the control of the effects folk?

                                    XB

    Mike asked:

    Answer:
    The Museum of TV and Radio is a joke. If you want to get a copy of a
    non-circulating radio program from their archives, you would have to do it
    illegally. (Please don't any idea of buying one of those three dollar suction
    cup microphones to connect to a CD or cassette recorder to do that.)
    The museum will not make a copy of anything if you ask them, even if you have
    permission from the copyright holder. Their staff there works for the
    paycheck, not the museum. They have yet to covert much of anything to digital
    format. They have wrong titles and airdates so you have to beware. They have
    yet to get their inventory on-line which shows how out of date they are.

    True story: About ten years ago I called them and asked them if they could
    look on their computer and let me know how many episodes of a TV show they
    had in their archive. They told me they do not perform that service over the
    phone and that I had to walk in and take a look myself. I hung up and called
    twice the same day getting a different person and I got the same answer. With
    the third person I pleaded for them to look on the computer and tell me if
    they had any episodes at all and he said "yeah, we do have them." So I spent
    $100 in travel-train expenses and more in hotel fees to travel up north to
    the city, paid them their fee, went in and discovered they only had two
    episodes out of the 250 plus that aired.

    Three or four years ago I received a letter asking if I could provide a copy
    of a radio recording they were seeking for their archives. I wrote back and
    told them I did not want to be financially reimbursed for my time and trouble
    as they offered, but would do so if they could make a copy of a radio
    recording I did not have but wanted. Yes, it was one of the Quiet Please
    episodes. I never received a reply.

    The Library in College Park I had mentioned, however, has been very
    accomodating. I visit there about once a week and they are always willing to
    help at the second I request assistance.

    Long story short, if you want to get copies of uncirculating shows into
    circulation, don't bother with the Museum of TV & Radio.

    Bill Jaker, commenting on the above: "It's true that the actor who played the
    Man of Steel was supposed to be anonymous, but Bud Collyer was on the radio
    all the time and it didn't take x-ray vision or the ability to leap tall
    buildings at a single bound to realize it was him."

    Myths, myths and more [removed] where would OTR research be without them?  In
    fact, both the VARIETY and BILLBOARD reviews of "Superman" in February 1940
    named Collyer as the star.  So did a TIME magazine article called "H-O
    Superman" in the February 26, 1940 issue.

    Collyer's peers knew it was him from the start and so did the public.  Maybe
    children didn't care one way or another, but Collyer's "Superman" identity
    was never a secret one.

    I was born in 1934 in Lake Andes, SD.  My dad was an Episcopalian priest.
    We were poor, but we didn't know we were poor.  Mother distributed layettes
    and clothing to the Indian mothers and their families.  Dad visited the sick
    at home and in the [removed] in jail.

    When we listened to Superman, we did not know the names of the actors.  We
    didn't NEED to know.  That voice WAS Superman.  When we listened to the Lone
    Ranger, we knew that that voice WAS the Lone Ranger.  Nothing else was
    important.  If Superman or the Lone Ranger told us something, we knew it was
    true.

    They were our [removed] so was Joe Louis and President Roosevelt.  I
    wonder if children and young people have any heroes today?  Maybe some of
    the young people on this Digest can tell us who their heroes are?

    There is NO chance of getting the Museum of Television and Radio to release
    ANYTHING in their collections.  That would jeopardize their entire existence
    which is based on donations of material without fear it may be copied or
    published elsewhere.

    I just hope that someday they get around to digitizing their collections.
    As I recall, their materials are still stored on some antiquated equivalent of
    Betamax tape.

    Alas, the story I've heard for years is that the only discs were owned by a
