    Subject:  June issue: RADIO RECALL

    The June 2016 full-color issue of RADIO RECALL went out to PDF subscribers on
    June 1st; the B & W hard copy will be mailed to the others about June 13th.

    Our lead article is by Martin Grams, Jr, with a comprehensive, up-close look
    at the recent conference of the Radio Preservation Task Force, jointly held
    in Washington, DC area by the Library of Congress and the Library of American
    Broadcasting at the University of Maryland. Martin summarizes the 20
    individual panels and provides coverage of the vital questions raised and
    discussed, including preserving OTR broadcasts in what format and the degree
    of access to them by researchers and the public.

    Jim Widner reviews the new book, "The Network: the Battle for the Airwaves
    and the Birth of the Communications Age" written by Scott Woolley for
    Harper/Collins Publishers. Woolley concentrates on the friendship that turned
    to rivalry between two OTR giants, David Sarnoff and Edwin Armstrong. The
    Great Lakes Nostalgia Convention debuted to success in Kalamazoo, MI on all
    counts and Mike Wheeler discusses it in depth and projects on its future.

    How much money did Bob Bailey make voicing Johnny Dollar?  Researcher Stewart
    Wright pours over vintage CBS financial records for the answer, and also
    points out the difference in salary from when the show was sustained and when
    it was sponsored.  An Open Letter to Hallmark Books asks why the radio series
    of Sam Spade and Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar are placed in the 1930's by
    Hallmark for one of their just-released books, since both did not begin
    airing until the 1940's.

    A puzzle page invites readers to find Supporting Cast members in a scramble
    box and then sort out titles of shows in another puzzle scrambler. All this
    plus, Letters to the Editor and data on upcoming all OTR festivals and
    conventions.

    To read articles from past issues, go to the website of Metro Washington OTR
    Club at <[removed]> and click on "Radio Recall." Subscription comes
    with membership in the club and details on that can also be found on the
    website.

    Subject:  'Suicide Resort' - A Lost Shadow Adventure

    "Suicide Resort" is one of the many lost adventures of The Shadow. No
    recordings are known to exist, so you can't hear it. But you can read
    about it, at: [removed]

    Bill Johnstone played the part of The Shadow for this January 14, 1940
    program, so imagine hearing his voice as you read about the errie
    "Suicide Resort."

     From Those Were The Days -

    6/6

    1938 - Stella Dallas was presented for the first time on the NBC Red

    1945   The Adventures of Topper was heard for the first time on NBC.

    1955   NBC presented The Lux Radio Theatre for the final time. The

    6/8

    1942   The comic soap opera Clara, Lu 'n Em was revived on CBS (the
    original show began in 1931 on NBC). Clara, Lu and Em were together
    again for just a short while before vanishing into radio oblivion.

    1947   Lassie debuted on ABC. It was a 15 minute show about an
    extraordinary collie. Animal imitator, Earl Keen provided the whines and
    other dog noises. The announcer was Charles Lyon; Marvin Miller and
    Betty Arnold played Lassie's owners. The sponsor was Red Heart dog food.

    This Week's Classics & Curios Show:

    "Echoes of Songs and Laughter"

    Episode 212

    THE MELODY HOUR - BUDDY CLARK & PERCY FAITH

    During World War II, the Armed Forces Radio Service obtained rights to
    rebroadcast the CARNATION CONTENTED HOUR to military personnel.
    Recordings were made on 16" electrical transcription discs for playback
    at 33 1/3 rpm over AFRS. Commercial messages were edited out, and the
    program was re-titled The Melody Hour, three of which are part of this
    week's CLASSICS & CURIOS.

    With its opening theme, "Contented," the musical variety show featured
    Canadian born Percy Faith and his orchestra. Percy refined and rethought
    orchestration techniques (with lush arrangements), including use of
    large string sections, to soften and fill out the brass-dominated
    popular music of the 1940s. [Of course those brass dominated recordings
    remain no less great!] (Wikipedia) Percy does several songs, such as
    "Emperor Waltz," "Yankee Doodle Dandy," and "I've Got You Under My Skin."

    Guests and performances on the shows of this episode of Classics &
    Curios include Duke Ellington doing "In My Solitude," Evelyn Knight
    performing "It's My Lazy Day," and the Dinning Sisters singing "Once in
    a While."

    But star and program host Buddy Clark remained the main attraction with
    tunes like "Peg O My Heart," "I'm Just a Prisoner of Love," "If There is
    Someone Lovelier Than You," "Falling in Love is Wonderful," and "Who Cares?"

    The Carnation Contented Hour was a long-running radio music series,
    sponsored, of course, by the Carnation Milk Company, which premiered
    April 26, 1931 on the regional NBC West Coast network. The full network
    series began January 4, 1932, on the Blue Network and was broadcast for
    two decades until its final broadcast on CBS December 30, 1951. (Wikipedia)

    The Melody Hour rebroadcasts abroad provided our men and women in
    uniform with some peaceful musical moments from home. And that makes
    this rebroadcast extra special.

    Thanks go to Jerry Haendiges Productions for providing these shows from
    Jerry's vast collection.
