    Yes, it would make a dandy adventure serial. In fact, it already had. I
    remember when I initially read the story years ago, my first thought was,
    "Hey, he's lifting this straight out of the old Pearl White movie serial THE

    Bob Bailey

    I just finished watching "The Lineup" - a 1957 movie based on the radio and
    TV show of the same name.  About 30 minutes into the film, I heard the
    unmistakable voice of Bob Bailey.  He has an effective 7-minute scene as
    Staples in which he looks like one would imagine that Johnny Dollar might
    look. Jaime del Valle was the producer of the movie as well as the radio and
    TV show.

    After checking on the Internet, I found the movie on You Tube.  The Bailey
    scene is in part 4.

     From Those Were The Days

    2/8

    1924   John Joseph Carty of the Bell Telephone System spoke in Chicago,
    IL. His speech was carried across the nation on the first coast to coast
    radio hookup. An estimated 50 million people heard the speech.

    2/11

    1940   NBC presented The Chamber Music Society of Lower Basin Street for
    the first time. The famous Blue network series included several
    distinguished alumni    among them, Dinah Shore and Zero Mostel. The
    chairman, or host, of The Chamber Music Society of Lower Basin Street
    was Milton Cross. He would say things like, "A Bostonian looks like he's
    smelling something. A New Yorker looks like he's found it." The show
    combined satire, blues and jazz and was built around what were called
    the three B's of music: Barrelhouse, Boogie Woogie and Blues.

    2/12

    1924   Calvin Coolidge, known by many as the 'Silent Cal', made the
    first presidential political speech on radio. The speech originated from
    New York City and was broadcast on five radio stations. Some five
    million people tuned in to hear the President speak.

    1924   The Eveready Hour became radio's first sponsored network program.
    The National Carbon Company took the honor of being the first sponsor of
    a network show.

    1940   Mutual presented the first broadcast of Superman. The identity of
    the man from planet Krypton was actually that of Bud Collyer.

    1956- Wild Bill Hickok (and Jingles) rode off into the sunset on Mutual
    for the last time, having been on radio since 27 May 1951.

    2/13

    1939   Virginia Payne, already popular as the voice of Ma Perkins, took
    on a new character in NBC's soap opera, The Carters of Elm Street.
    Virginia played the part of Mrs. Carter.

    1943   Frank Sinatra made his debut as vocalist on radio's Your Hit
    Parade this night. Frankie had left the Tommy Dorsey Band just four
    months prior to beginning the radio program. He was described as,
    "...the biggest name in the business."

    Subject:  Houston, Texas request

    I was wondering if someone on the Digest lives within a short driving
    distance of the Houston Public Library. They have a newspaper on microfilm
    that needs review on a certain number of dates. I had inquired with their
    library staff to look up what I need related to a radio program, however,
    their replies strongly suggest they either don't care about old-time radio or
    don't care to humor me by looking up a few radio listings and news brief. I
    would be willing to reimburse anyone who can take an afternoon and do a
    little researching for me, inquire off the digest. Thanks!

    Subject:  Chico Marx Orchestra

    Chico Marx did have an orchestra around 1942-43 and apparently they
    did do some recording. There's a compilation album available at Amazon
    called "Something For The Boys" that contains a track of American
    Patrol by the Chico Marx Orchestra. The track can be briefly previewed
    at no cost in mp3 at Amazon. Some biographies of jazz greats Barney
    Kessel and Mel Torme indicate that they both made their first
    recordings with the Chico Marx Orchestra.

    Subject:  Jungle Jim Actors

    I've been listening to large group of Jungle Jim shows lately, and was
    wondering if there's a Jungle Jim expert lurking on the Digest. Correct me
    if I'm wrong, but it surely sounds like Gale Gordon is part of the cast.
    Actually, it sounds like Gale Gordon is most of the cast of "other"
    characters. I hear him one minute as the villain and then the next minute
    he's a government agent or someone in the background. I wouldn't be
    surprised if in some scenes he's "talking to himself." I guess you can get
    away with this on a weekly 12 minute serial, but it becomes quite a bit
    disconcerting when listening to episodes one right after the next. Am I
    hearing things, or can anyone confirm my observations?
